A NEW DEPARTURE IN the Weekly Republican.

Since it's foundation nearly 60 years ago. The Springfield Republican has always contributed generously to the instruction and entertain mebt of it's large rural constituency by it's agri- cultural news. To make the paper still more valuable as guide and assistant to the farm CTS and their families it has been determined to introduce a special agricultural department into the weekly edition. This department will be begun in the number of May 13 It will occupy from four to five columns of space, contain variety of valuable original snd se- lected matter, and be under the charge of @ trained agriculturalist. Each week there will be special article on some live subject by a leading agricultural writer. Among those who have already been secured as contribu- tors are Dr. George B. Loring, president of the New England agricultural society, Dr. E. Lewis Sturtevant of South Pennington, secre- tary of the society for the promotion of agri- cultural science. Mai. Henry B. Alverd of Easthampton, President Chadbourne of Will hams college, President Levi Stockbridge of the Amherst agricultural college, and James s. Grinnell of Greenfield. Particular atten- tion will be given to describing local enter prises and experiments in agriculture and to reporting local meetings and discussions The other departments of the Weekly, news, edito- rial, literary, religious and miscellaneous, will 0C hcpt up tO bucH TcCOSuiZcu uiSn StaDuafQ, and all of the best characteristics of the paper carefully preserved.
 In order to permit those who are not now subscribers to the Weekly to try it at slight expense, after this importent addition to it's attractions has been made, trial subscriptions from May 20 to the close of the year will be received at 60 cents, and from July for 50 cents.

The new version of the New Testament went into general circulation on Friday last. Thousands of copies have been already dis posed of and it is going into general use in most of the churches. In accuracy of trans. lation and in the omission of spurious passages the revision is great improvement. Unfort- unately wherever the new version varies from the old. the English is not improved. sThy will be done as in heaven, so on earth, is 8 poor substitute for. "Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven." precisely because it follows Greek inversion too closely. So when, in the old version, Festus says to Paul, "Much learning doth make thee mad" the English is far preferable to that of the revisers, "Thy much learning turneth thee to madness. !"
 The foregoing examples are taken from few newspaper selections, and may not repre- sent the revision fairly. Moreover, the changes are few :; and, as accuracy is plainly the first requisite of a scripture version, the work of the revisers will hardly fail of general acceptance.

We inter from the various newspaper re. ports that the Greek play given by Harvard professors and students, last week, met with success desttne, hardly more. It was in structivs, creditable, and all that, but scarcely calls for repetition. The Greek play is in no sense such an acting play as the modern stage requires. It was originally shouted through sort of speaking trumpet to an audience as large as those of the May Festival, in the open air. There was no acting in the modern sense of the word. The plot of Edipus is repulsive the ruin of an innocent man by malignant fate-involving him in parricide and incest, pursuing him to destruction without the slight est touch of pity. The acting is said to have been on the whole excellent, and the presenta. tion of the play finer than anything that has ever been known in modern times. The mu. sic, written especially for the work, was good and the audience much pleased though hardly enthusiastic, we judge. The acting parts of the play. though pronounced in manner uu. usual in our colleges, seems to have been in- telligible. Few could probably have msde anything out of the choruses without the aid of the translation with which the play goers were furnished.
