THE STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
Alta meeting Of this society, held
on Thursday night in Carolina Hall,
Columbia, the present officers were
reelected to serve. for the ensuing
term. President Crayton in few re-
marks stated that the officers had done
all in their power to make the fair sue
cess. In his opinion the essentials to
success were display of live stock
and field crops, which was very fine
this year, and the officers were entire
ly satisfied with tho receipts. A dis
cussiou took place on tho subject Of
horse racing in connection with the
fair, and tho propriety Of permitting
gambling on tho grounds. A resolu-
ton, by General Hagood, was adopt
'<cd, to tho effect that hereafter tho
racing be carried OH under the auspices
of the society. A resolution by Major
woodward was also adopted, 10 the
effect that hereafter all gambling and
games Of chance be prohibited within

THE COLUMBIA SEM1NARY.-The
Register says: "The Directors of the
Presbyterian Theological Seminary
held meeting in the Seminary libra
brary OH last Tuesday night. Rev. w.
+. Boggs, d. D., Of Atlanta, was
elected a Director in place of the Rev.
John Douglass, deceased. A commu-
nication was received from Rov. DR..
Plumcr, declining to visit tho churches
in behalf of the Seminary, not being
able to travel ON account of his III
creasing infirmities. 1t is hoped that
some of the Adger fhnd, about two
thirds oft, will be saved. The de-
ficicncy in the income is still somc-
where between $3.50 and S400 per
month, and the directors will have to
close tho Seminary after this term,
which ends in May next, unless the
churches como to their assistance and
contribute the funds necessary to car
ry 1t on and pay off an already exist
ing debt Of $4,000. Tho directors are
determined not to use any of tho en-
dowment for current expenses, feeling
that as trustees they are bound not to
do 80. We trust that the appeal for aid
In behalf Of this institution will be
promptly and liberally responded to.
Our people, who are SO ready to con-
tribute to charitable purposes, will re-
member that this Is, a cause which ia
is the very foundation aud
cornerstone of all charities. Not only
all Presbytorians, but all Christiana q
and all persons who wish we'll to the
community and to the State at large,
will regret to see tho exercises Of the
Seminary discontinued"
