officers of thst department no little
trouble because of his failure to forward
his accounts for the month of June last.
Mr.. Norris was removed on July It'll,
and according to the Treasurer's report
had. up to June 1st, failed TO account
for an advance amounting to Sl61 III.
Judge Williams, third auditor OF me
Treasury. has several times requested
him to forward his accounts for exam
nation, bat so far Mr.; Norris has not
taken the slightest notice OF his letter.
In making his last formal request, the
Third Auditor called Norris attention
to sections 1922 and 5 .491 OF the Revised
Statutes. which require that all officers
who hold public funds for
the disbursement shall render a
monthly account within ten days
after the expiration of each successive
month, and provide that the officers
who fail to comply with this require
ment shall be deemed guilty Oh EN-
bez dement, and subject to line and I'M
Drisonment. This letter, it Is SAID, has

The Commissioner of Agriculture has
issued q notice Of a convention Of agri.
cultural colleges and experiment stations,
to be held in Washington on July s, and
the fact directs attention to the work Of
these institutions. Congress made a
grant Of land for the establishment of an
agricultural college in each State, and
but few institutions of that class yet
hold a prominent rank. Massachusetts,
and Michigan boast of their agricultural
colleges. but the originator Of the sys-
tenn, Senator Morrill,, of Vermont, can
hardly regard either institution as the
realization of his ideal. The influence of
the agricultural colleges has been very
beneficial to agriculture, however, and
although the majority Of their graduates
may not make farming their life-work,
they contribute greatly to the promotion
of agricultural interests.
