We had the pleasure OF being present
at the closing exercises Of Mrs. NJ. r,
Van Hoses school last Thursday
night. The attendance WAS very large
jill fact there was not one fourth room
enough to accommodate the visitors.
The exercises consisted principally III
speech making by the little girls and
boys, and they acquitted themselves
admirably. The speeches were inter
larLed with some sweet singing by the
school, and well selected music on the
piano. The precision with which the
pupils recited their various parts de
monstrated clearly that their teacher
had spared no pains in instrucllng
them. The rapidity with which some
Of them have learned is truly re
marhable. The exercises closed with
n life-like dialogue 10y the pupils
entitled the "Pc.nic Dialogue in
which every one took n part, ench
acting their part to pcrtecuon.-
The many patrons present were well
pleased with the admirable manner in
which the exercises were conducted.
No effort was ma lie at display, hut the
whole performance was crcditable to
both pupils and teacher. The pupils,
however, presented n fine appearance
in fact it WAS the most beautiful collec
ton Of children we ever saw, and they
were all as happy as happy could be,
Bless their little souls, We wish they
may ever be as happy as on this occa :
siOh.
We will venture the assertion right
here that Mrs. Van IIoosa has few su-
pcriors, if any, in the art Of instrucslng
the young. Together with her accom-
plishmenls as II teacher, her mode Of
discipline has won the affection Of ev-
cry one Of irr pupils-her name is a
household word with them-they all
love her almost as n mother-all OF
which goes to prove that a child can

without resorting to harshness, AS do
most teachers,
Mis-. Van lIoOse, at the close OF the
exercises, announced that she had not
fully decided to teach another session,
but Il she conforms to tie wishes OF
her patrons she will certainly continue
teaching. In case she docs conclude
to teach, we guarantee that she VIII

FARMING IN THE UNITED STATEs.-
The condition Of agricultural interests
in California, and farming as practiced
everywhere in our country, is the theme
Of very suggestive letter from Ex,Sec.
rotary McCulloCh to the New York
Tribune. He says that in no branch
OF industry are our people 20 behind
Europeans as in farming. Possessing the
finest agricultural country in the world,
the steady decline in product Of our
Wheat.lauds is without parallel. This is
not attributable to defects in soil nor
to changes in climate but simply to mis-.
management. It is not many years
since the GeneSee Valley, Of New York,
was the great wheat growing regoin Of our
country. Who now hears anything about
the" Genesee Wheat" once so plentiful and
popular with the millers? Then, again,
Ohio, Indiana and Michigan became
wheat producing States; now, in none Of
these, except some small portions, is this
a reliable or profitable crop? At the
present time the Eastern markets are OBJ.
tanning their chief supplies Of grain from
Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin; but
even there, except upon fresh lands, the
yield is declining. The same is also true
Of California. The rich valleys Of this
State will stand as much bad treatment
as any lands under the sun, but
they are showing signs Of exhaus-
ton, from the constant drain upon
them Of successive crops of wheat
without rest or help. lie quotes one ex-
ception in our American system, and that
is the farming practiced in the district
about Harrisburg, between that point and
Philadelphia, and the vicinity Of York,
Pa. How these pennsylvania Dutch
men" happen to understand the true
theory OF farming go well he is not able
10 state, but these are the facIs-big barns,
well.lilled graineries, and raising more
upon one acre than many other farmers
upon two acres OF better land than these
people are possessed Of. Another defect
in the California system is that the farm
ing there is on too grand scale.
There are but few farmers and the farms
are Of too great extent. He cites an in
stance Of one man who for some years
has cultivated in wheat 10000 acres in
one. tract; and, again, another, Of two
Germans, brothers, who own 100000
acres, about one.half Of which is tillable,
and the other half grazing land, and up
on which no raises in round numbers
about 100000 cattle. This kind OF farm.
ing does not add much to the population,
nor 10 the wealth and power Of State.
What California needs for a development
Of her great agricultural resources, is a
division OF these lands into smaller hold.
iuga and the cultivation Of a greater vari.
ETY. Of crops, which would naturally re.
suit from such adivision. When this is
done, and the thousands Of acres are held
by the many who will cultivate these
lands properly, California will become
what it has tho capacity for becoming
the frat agricultural State in the Union.
