head of the east ietty downward, the depth
of water from the first 1000 feet from the

to loW water, the deepest water has in
creased on IN average by about three feet.
From this point to the end of the jetties,

averaged about one foot, but with some

The thermometer this morning at

had Of winter since our arrival in the

friends at a distance, what have you
to tell US Of the Moody and Sankey
meetings Z" What about the Centen-
NAL buildings?" TO the first Of these
inquiries | will answer briefly in this
communication OF the second some
thing may perhaps be said hereafter.
Having learned that on last evening
Messrs. Moody and Sankey were for
the last time TO make their appearance
ia public assembly here, we procured
tickets and as early as 6:30 P. NJ. found
our seats near the centre Of the spa
cious structure where their meetings
10 this city have been held. The regu.
lar service was TO commence at s
clock but even at the time OF our
arrival quite a crowd were already
within the building, having come thus
early TO be sure of finding place
among the thousands who would be in
attendance.
The interval was occupied by Us in
surveying the immense structure, orig.
inally freight depot, now consecrated
temporarily TO a sacred use, and with

past il may be said Of many con

apart, represented this passage Of
Scripture, God so loved the world

that whosoever believeth in Him should
not perish bat have everlasting life .
This was on one side. On the other
were The words, God sent not bis Son
into the world 10 condemn the world,
but that the world through him might

The Troy Pres can set up and
knock down again more republican
candidates for the presidency than any
other paper we know Of. First it is
Blaine aud his amnesty debate killed
him. Next il is Bristow aud too per.
sistent prosecution OF the whisky ring
disposes Of him. Then Morton and
his action 10 the Louisiana matter puts
him out Of the way, Conklin never had
any chance, and ii finally comes to the
conclusion that Grant is the only man
who can secure a nomination. Now
all these reasons and conclusions are
foolish and the last Is the worst Of all.
The time for choosing a candidate Is
several months ahead yet, and it is i'm.
possible TO tell who will be the sue.
cessful man, but il is easy 70 tell who
will not be. aud that man is Gen
Grant. though we believe the party
could 20 farther and do worse The
man who il to be the candidate has a
broader foundation than to be knocked

rug srArr AGRICULTURAL coLLrcr

The University Of Vermont and State
Agricultural College, under the care OF
President Buckham, SO widely known
and highly esteemed throughout the
State, affords facilities for an agricul-
tural and scientific education, which
the farmers Of Vermont should allow
their sons to take advantage Of The
young men Of Vermont in that institu-
ton can be trained to a scientific &C
quaintance with agriculture, educated
as civil aud mechanical engineers,
chemists, in short, furnished with a
thorough education ia those branches
covered by tho name "Agrioalturo aud
Mechanic Arts" The doors Of the in
stitution are wisely open also to the
daughters Of Vermont, who can select
from the branches taught those most
helpful to their sphere. The range o.
studies, including modern languages,
English literature, mental and moral
science, is such that both sexes can
easily select what viii furnish a staff
to help them along in life. Let the
farmers Of Vermont send class to the
agricultural college and test its ad.
vantages before they condemn and
criticise its course Of study or the pur-
pose aud intent Of the professors Of
the college.
