FRIDAY EVENING, FEB. 81, 1890.
Agricultural Colleges.


Germantown Telegraph
1t is a noticeable fact that the agrlcul-
tural colleges throughout the repubiic,
with very few exceptions, have failed in
carving out the purposes of their creation.
The idea of Congress in voting among the
states Droportionate shares of the pubic
lands to establish institutions for agricul-
tural education, mainly, has met the pub
lie sentiment and the Legislatures OF
many of the states carried out the ldea
more or less in accordance with the
original design. But it was soon
discovered that the agricultural interests
had not reached a point sufficiently
advanced to sustain with the necessary
patronage the capacious and cOmprehen-
sive institutions which the states con-
sidered indispensable in carrying out the
supposed purposes Of Congress and the
result has generally been that the agricul-
tura! colleges teach as little as possible
knowledge of practical agriculture, while
education for the several professions has
almost exclusively absorbed the duties OF
the instructors.
In referring to these institutions in the
several New England states, leading
Boston paper holds this language II
these institutions are doing anything to
benefit agriculture in New England, II
there was any evidence that the young
men graduated at these institutions be-
came practical farmers, or did anything to
encourage or improve farming in New
England. there could be no objection to
annual legislative grants to keep in
a flourishing condition. We have first
and last seen several lists of the
graduates of these colleges with
their residences and employments after
being educated at an agricultural college
From such lists we have found that while
many graduates became lawyers, physicians
and teachers, very few become farmers In
their own states. We have not the statls-
tics at hand, but we believe that it may be
safely asserted that not one in ten of the
young men educated in and graduated
from our agricultural colleges are engaged
to-day in agricultural pursuits in the
States by whose aid they received their
cducatiOn.'
This statement does not differ from our
own so-called agricultural college. 1t
turns out very few farmers, not more than
perhaps one in ten or fifteen of the pu-
pills but cducates, mainly at the expense
of the state, the bulk of it's students for
lawyers, doctors, ministers, &c. Even the
ornamental forms of the regular colleges,
so unbecoming in school of young farm
crs, have been introduced, increasing the
expense and giving the students flashy con-
ceptions of their position altogether foreign
to the character of such all institution.
We have our doubts of the propriety OF
the Legislature granting any more aid to
ours in Centre county. 1t ought to be
sclf-sustaining with its present income, II
we are rightly Informed as to the extent OF
it and to the labOrs which its present list
of students required from instructors.

The Salisbury Murder.

From tie Madisonian of the 18th inst, we
CLEAN a few additional particulars Of the cold
blooded murder of John j. Richards by one
VIM. Chadsey, concerning which a special
dispatch was published a few days ago. 1t
seems thai the deceased had been IN the Ter
ritory for ten or twelve years, and was form
erly interested in the fremont House, Raiders
burg. He was afterward employed as clerk
by Charles Hallbeck, Of that place, for several
years. For the last two Or three years he has
been living at Iron Rod, Butte, and other
places, working at his trade-that of a painter.
He is said to have been a peaceable, inofien-
sive man. Of Chadsey, being a newcomer,
but little is known, either of his former
Whereabouts or previous character. He
says he did the killing intentionally, in
revenge for some real or fancied grievance
which deceased had inflicted upon him, and
had been lying in wait for his victim for sew
eral days. He has, also, threatened to kill a
blacksmith-nalne unknown-at Salisbury,
the first opportunity that presented.

New York Metal Market.

-
The New York Mining Record, of the 10th,
contains the following concerning the eastern
metal market
The past week las been L dull one in the
metal market. The fluctuations in prices
have been slight, and the volume of trade
comparatively light. While CONSUMERS are
steadily reducing their stocks they have had
but little occasion to replenish by purchase in
the open market, and with no speculative
demand, the movement has been confined to
the wants of small buyers.
Lead.-T!te business of the past week COM
prises about 400 to 800 tons. Common Domes-
tic at 5.65a5 81 cents, and All equal quantity
of Colroding at about i cents. The market
is firm at 6 81 cents, at which price the bulk
of stock is held, and there is a moderate
demand for ,jobbin. parcels. Foreign stock
can be laid down here at about 5 81 cents,
and some sales OF Spanish have TRANSFERRED at
a cost and freight price, which is about equal
to the above quotations.
Copper.-Lake has been sold as low as 4ls
cents cash, but the London market having
advanced Il, holders have displayed more
firmness, and now ask % cents. The tram
sactions reported continue to be from specu-
lative holders, as the mining companies are
not sellers, and the nee essiiy of meeting adj
vances has compelled many to realize at a
sacrifice. The consumption is reported to
show no falling of, but so long as the market
is supplied by speculative holders, whose
necessities compel them to realize values, can
hardly be expected to rally. The transactions
for the past week aggregate about 100000 lbs.
at 21sa22 cents, the latt er figure being the
closing quotation for cash.

COPPER
Rich Deposits OF Metal Found i'm Park
Canyon.

Considerable excitement was created in
Butte on Tuesday by the report that extensive
copper placers had been discovered near the
mouth Of Park canon, only about three miles
from this city, and quite a number of pros
pectors yesterday stampeded to that section
OF the district to see whether or not all the
available ground had been taken, and if not,
to stake out claims.
Quite a number Of mining men are skepti-
cal as to the truth of the reports, but all those
who have seen the specimens brought in on
Tuesday by Mr.. Lee W. Foster and Thomas
Harper, are now free to acknowledge they
were mistaken. AS soon as the latter gentle
men became aware of the existence of the
deposits, it seems they stlaightway repaired
to Park canon, and arriving at the proper
place dug down a few feet into the earth and
filed a gold pan with dirt. This they washed
as though prospecting for gold, and incredible
at it may seem, had the satisfaction of wash
inC out over half a pound Of pure metallic
copper. In another place the same result Was
obtained, aud it was proved beyond dispute
that a large amount OF the metal in a native
state was distributed through an extended
area Of surface in the bottom of the gulch.
No deep holes were dug, so it was not ascer-
tanned to what depth the copper %descends,
though there is no doubt that it goes to bed
lock. If one pan of dirt yields half a pound
of copper. and if there is any considerable
amount of this experimenting ground below
the surface, it is quite easy to conceive that
with a ground-sluice by which a number of
tons of soil could be worked daily the claims
would yield immense profits.
