Maryland Agricultural CoIIeg

Maryland Agricultural College
The catalogue of the MarylaG Agricultural
College which we have before T. shows if we
are to Judge BY the faculty, that this will ere
long become one of the most popular institu-
tons Of learning in the State. The aims Of
the college are defined as follows. ats lead q
ing object shall be, without excluding other
scientific and classical studies. and including
military tactics, TO teach such branches of
learning as are related to agriculture and the
mechanic arts, in such a manner as the legis-
lature Of the State may prescribe. in order to
promote the liberal and practical education Of
the industrial classes in the several pursuits
and professions in life" Instruction in agri-
culture, natural history, chemistry mathe-
MATES, physics aud mechanics, latin and
German, and military tactics, embrace the
course Of studies. Tuition is free to all stu
dents whose parents are residents Of the State
Of Maryland. A single charge Of one hundred
and eighty dollars (Sl8O) is made to cover
all expenses, clothing excepted. The cota-
logue shows that not a single student from
Charles county attends this school. This is
due from the fact tina. parents Judging from
the past, believe the school does not compare
f,voraLly with other colleges in the State
But under the present able and efficient man
agemcnt no better school for Young men can
bc selected and we trust thatin the future our
people will take advantage Of the splendid OPP
portunty presented by this college to educate
thcir lows.

ing Herald which publishes a Daily, Weekly
and Sunday edition, is one of the brightest,
newsiest, and most enterprising papers pub
Gshed in Baltimore city. On Monday last It
published a twelve page edition containing a
splendid description ofthe city of Cumberland
which is the second largest city in the State
in point of population and extent Gifts boun
daries. 1t gave historical, geographical
and industrial review Of tie Queen City OF
the Alleghauies" 1t told Of its beautiful
scenery, Of its magnificent climate, its vast
resources, and advantageous location for man
ufactures, of Its public buildings, and its
splendid opportunities for business enterprises
We regret exceedingly that We have not suiii-
eient space to give more extended notice OF
the splendid description of this magnificent
mountain city. Fauy there be in our midst
who are inclined to seek newer fields and
greener pastures, we would advise them to
secure copy of the Herald of the 3rd instant,
and carefully scan its pages. If the press of
the State would follcN the lead Of the Herald
and devote more Of their space to our natural,
Innate, ard business advantages, We would
soon become, situated as we are, under the
shadow Of the National Capitol what we
should be, the most prosperous State of the
Union.
