 StorFs Agricultural ScheOl.
 To the young men of the state who pro- pose to become farmers, or engage in any of the horticultural or agricultural pur- suits, we would say, you can do no better than take course of study in the Storrs Agricultural School, OF at least look into the subject and see if what is taught there will be helpful in your life work. ...-.
 The school is fostered by the state, the expenses of the course, which requires but two years, are very moderate, and during this time broad and liberal foundation is laid in horticulture, theoretical and prac- tical agriculture, chemistry, fertilizers, nat ural philosophy, botany, zoology, land sur veyings, stock breeding and numerous kindred studies. The necessity for 8 knowledge of these subjects is becoming more and more apparent every year. It is only recently that the subject of fertil- izers, knowledge of their composition and how to make an intelligent use of them, composition of soils, and & multitude of such subjects have attracted the attention of intelligent farmers. It is very true that many farmers sheer at a scientific knOwl- edge of these subjects, and the young man who is misled by the idea that he can suc- ceed as we'll without knowledge of the subjects taught in this school, as the boy who avails himself of its privileges, will doubtless find himself outstripped at near ly every point by his companion who now has the foresight to fit himself for his pro fession as farmer.
 The school is located in very healthful region, is provided with efficient instruc- tors, and certainly the young men of the state would do we'll to inquire into its mer- its.

 It appears that O'Donnell dogged Carey from London. He left Dartmouth in a small steamer the 9th inst. for Cape Town. There were not many passengers on board, and none that suggested the idea of an avenging Invincible. Carey was ill at ease during the first part of the voyage, but gathered confidence by degrees he held aloof from all on board, but his nervous air and the furtive glances cast around at every turn, marked him out as Jonah, though none, save perhaps only one, sus- pected his real identity. Arrived at Cape Town the passengers, Carey among the were transferred to the steamship Melrose Castle for Port Elizabeth, Natal. :,
 Soon after departure from Cape Town, Carey became less reserved, and did not hesitate to join in the casual conversation on board When the vessel was made fast to the Port Elizabeth dock, in a rather ubilant manner the informer superintend- ed the landing of his baggage. He then boarded the gang plank and walked down Q the wharf. The moment he stepped up 'n the wharf a man stepped up to him, placed pistol close to his breast right over leart, and fired. Carey staggered and ell, but before he lost his footing his as- 'ailant fired another bullet-this time into lis brain. The assassin was for moment to be a madman. He hourished lis weapon and cried out
