to'a system Of mid-air excursions, and then
bore them off to the campus, which had
been brilliantly illuminated.
Speeches were made by Messrs. j. F. Bull
litt, captain OF the nine, and George Rob
inson, president OF the club. They, ex-
pressed themselves delighted with. the hos
pitable and courteous treatment they had
received at the University OF Virginia, and
looked forward with pleasure 10 an oppor-
tlinity to return the same next session.
The crowd dispersed with three cheers for
the University OF Virginia and three for
Washington and Lee.

STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. Z

(
STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
49, RICHMOND, Va, May %, 1878.
Editors of Dispatch: observe in your
paper of Yesterday a communication, with
out signature, referring to the schedule OF
premiums issued this month by the State
Agricultural Society for the next Fair, In
which special mention is made OF the pre-
miums offered for farm and garden crops.
The writer is evidently warm friend OF
the Society, and wishes its best influences
to prevail; but, at the same time, his article
may produce wrong impressions. Speaking
OF the premium-list he uses this expression
":It is matter CT regret that it did not ap-
pear sooner, as the time of preparation has
passed." This, of course, applies to the
crops to which reference is made.
The policy OF the Society is not to en-
courage specialiy-prepared and acorted-up
crops with an eve mainly to the premiums
offered, but to get results from crops which
have been planted and cultivated, under en-
Iightened views of culture, IN the ordinary
course OF the farmers or gardeners busl-
ness There is nothing. then, to prevent
any farmer or gardener selecting from the
crops gathered the present year the product
OF any acre Of any crop which may DO
deemed worthy OF competition for the pre-
principle, and is just and fair to all, as it
encourages those efforts which do not look
SO Immediately to the money and credit
which attach to the Society's premium as to
improved production, which brings its pro-
tit in another and better way.
For the same reason the Society discour-
ages, or rather gives no additional merit
to, agricultural implements and machines
which are ornamented and FURNISHED up
beyond those designed for practical use.
Crops raised under system OF hagh cut-
tuye, with heavy and expensive manurlng
and cultivation, may properly be reported
as experiments. which must be Judged Of
by the net profits they bring. This system
is probably too much neglected; and, If
intelligently experimental on, might lead
to greater agricultural and horticultural
profits.
In substance, wish to say that &Our cor
respondent is mistaken in thinking that
any Of the field and garden crops are cut
off by the time of-the appearance OF the
Society's premium-list; and we urge libe-
raj contest for these crops at the next Fair.

whittier ON Future Punishment.

The Quaker poet believes in repentance
beyond the grave. A gentleman well known
in local literary circles has made Whit
tiers poems a study for several years,
and to avoid the possibility OF misinterpret-
ing them, he wrote to the author. asking
him what he means in several passages
where the future is referred to. In answer,
he received the following explicit letter:
COAX KNOLL, DANvERs, MASS,

.sNIy Dear Friend,-I think understand
thy inquiry. I am not a Universalist, for l
believe in the possibility OF the perpetual
loss of the soul that perSistently turns from
God in the next life as in this. But l do
believe, also, that the Divine love aud COM
passion follow US in all worlds, and that the
Heavenly Father will do the best that is pos
sible for every creature He has made. What
that ll;be must be left to His. infinite wis
dom and goodness. I would refer thee to a
poem of mine, THE Answer concern

as containing, in few words, my belief in
this matter. Thy friend,
