Virginia Agricultural College.
Correspondence Of the Baltimore Sunl


BLAcKsBuRG, VA. Nov. 90.
BY report of the board Of the Vir-
ginia Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege II is announced that its scope is no
longer "to be confined to agricultural
and mechanical instruction." but il
hereafter "to prepare the students for
other professions and pursuits in life;"
that "the leading feature is to cheaper
the expense Of acquiring college edu-
cation" in Latin, in French,
IN German, in mental and moral philos-
ply. A degree of Bachelor Of Arts Is
provided for, and the diplomas and de-
grees are to represent rs high degree
of attainment rs In any other college,
The conditions Of the act of endowment
are construed to require that each STU
dent not physically mcapacitated shall
bc instructed IN the school Of the soldier,
company and battalion, and in guard,
outpost and picket duty, but the militia
ry training is not to be limited to what
would impart this instruction. The
military discipline must be rigid and
the penalties Y must be militia
ny in their character. The aim Is to
get the disciplinary value Of Il thor
oughly military organization. In Il
forciblc recitation Of the temptations to
idlenes. and vice in his hours Of leisure
which threaten student, the conviction
Is manifested that good morNls and good
scholarship can be obtained only by u
military system Of education. The
board Is TO meet IN Richmond OIL the
10th of December, to elect Y new Prcsi-
dent,and invites application for the APP
pointmcnt. In It's late meeting Dr.
Chas. Martin was removed from the
Professorshlp of English, and the Rev.
Thomas Nelson Conrad, A, NJ, WIS ap
pointed In his place. The duties hereto
fore done by the President Of superyis-
ing aud controlling the expenditures of
money were also assigned to Mr.. Con-
rad, under the official name Of auditor.
Mr.. Giles ID. Thom0s was removed from
the office of treasurer, and II Is under
stood that DIR, w. Is. Conway Is TO be no

CLEVELAND, June 13.-The Leader,
this morning, publishes reports from nearly
all the important points in northern Ohio
aud some places in Western Pennsylvania
giving the condition of the crops The
frosts of last week did very little damage.
There will be about a two thirds crop of
wheat The prospects are that the corn
crop will be failure, the cause of which
is the long dry weather which prevailed in
this region previous to last week. Oats are
somewhat better than corn, though not
over two thirds crop. The hay crop
will be very light on account of the
drought; there will probably be a fair
yield Of potatoes but fruits, particularly
apples, will be very light.
