EVAN I'U(ill.
All wl.o take any interest in ag ricultarr or in agricul

with the dee n e.a re g ret. But those who regard the re
-Isolation of the State, who feel how deeply its welfare
surd its honor are connected with the education of its
youth, will lament quite as much the loss of this ex
cellent and able man. Born in the county of Chester,
in a fluidly of Friends, long settled at or near Oxford,
early - life had few of those advantages that lead a
~,,u th ,elect as his intellectual sphere of action
ihe severe,. difficult, and lofty branches of study.
BM he felt within himself a power that pressed him on,
and e ,ery disadvantage and every difficulty he met
bore rp against as can only be dOllO by one deter
:onus: to acquire knowledge, and ready to endure every
=mall
its acquisition may demand. Inheriting a
,tudi ium, he immediately went to Germany, entered
000 its
v 1 Universities, graduated with its honors, and
v on , plae, himself under the tuition of one of the chief
„I,i s ibds of that country, After several years of hard
j o ber in tile laboratory, he was employed by Lawes
Clill-ert, the well-known agricultural chemists of Eng-
Tbese gentlemen appreciated him, and of them
ity and kindness he always spoke in warm terms.
Jr wa- durhig his engagement with them that
writer of this notice first heard of him. Being
I by a fellow-student of his in Germany - that
Tame had been mentioned to one of the trustees of the
High School as a person fitted for the post of
zre+it/Pl:t, be wrote to that gentleman, making inqui
ry, a- ni the condition and prospects of the institution;
51,1, that he had always hoped to see a school of agri
culture in America, and that ho had 'prepared himself
to join it. But his means were small, and
he was liberally paid the situation he then held.
Could he be expected to leave it for a mere experiment,
that as yet had found no very special favor, except
with a few liberal-minded men?
T o hi:, modest and candid avowals an equally candid
i aray
is as inade. lie was told that the institution With
lira first one proposed inthe country; that his native
State have the honors if it succeeded, and
that he. as its head, would rise with it. After two or
three slays' consideration he determined to come and
give his services to his country; aware that the chances
full compensation for them were very few, and that
he had le go through the almost desperate struggle, as
it f c geocatly is, of attemptingto place a new idea betore
iudizferent and unprepared minds. His coming seemed
~, be entirely a patriot act; his whole conduct since has
i•cen from the same lofty impulses. Far more lucrative
pests could have been easily procured, but he thought
Lot of money; and from our intercourse with lihn, in
couveri.i. flea and by letters, we could never perceive
that Ile had a selfish purpose, or any purpose but that

of its kind.
Surely such a man is an example to our youth; and is
le not an honor to his State ? and an honor, too, to that

and cold hand of adverse fortune? A.

REFRESHMENT SALOON.
To the Hzens of Phi/adelphia It will be three
years on the 27th day of May, UAL since the Union Vo
lunteer Refreshment Saloon commenced its operations.
The Committee never have pressed their claims. Nei
ther hare they lost sight of the fact that there were
Other institutions equally worthy of public confidence
and support; and they have endeavored to discharge
the duties entrusted to them in an honest, economical,
quiet, and unostentatious manner. Up to this time we
have been generously.supported by contributions From
our friends and a portion of the moneyed corporations of
Philadelphia. We have tried to lessen the burdens of
our kind friends by annual fairs in June; the iirst was a
success; the second comparatively a failure, in conse
quence of the raid into Pennsylvania last summer, and
there is no prospect of holding one this season, as in
tendey. The high price of provisions, and the heavy
and constant demand ou our Saloons, have nearly de
pleted our treasury, and as the signs of the times point
to a series of protracted battles, and as there will no
doubt be still further calls on our limited resources, we
are compelled to make this appeal. to the liberality of
the citizens of Philadelphia and vicinity for assistance,
otherwise our future usefulness will be very much Un
paired.
Contributions in cash, and notice of Provisions and
Sanitary Stores for our use, will be received by the fol
lowing gentlemen:

Read what the press says of it:
[From the Boston Post.]
"We cordially commend it as an able illustration of
She American life and manners it professed to represent.
The characters are boldly and skilfully drawn, and the
vices and follies of our social and political system are
lashed with no sparing hand. The book is destined to
exert a marked influence. "
[From the Evening Journal, Albany.]
" The interest tams upon events which happened just
previous to, and were in some manner the forerunner of,
the rebellion. There is a good deal of adroitness in the
construction of the story, and a good deal of skill in the
sketching of characters. We are much mistaken if
`Dangerfleld's Rest' does not attain a wide popularity. "
[From the Times, Troy.]
"The story is written with great preciseness, and con
tains many 'startling situations.' The characters are
admirably delineated, the minor details sketched with
tact and ability, and the plot developed in a fascinating
- and satisfactory manner. "

U. S.
TEN-FORTY . BONDS.
These Boo& are issued under the Act of Congress of
March 13th, 1561, which provides that in lieu of so much
•of the loan authorized by the Act of Marched, lard, to
which this is supplementary, the Secretary of the Trea
sury is anthoriied to borrow from time to time, on the
credit of ithe United States, not exceeding TWO HUN
DRED MILLION DOLLARS, during the current fiscal
year, and to prepare and issue therefor Coupon and Re
gistered Bonds of the United States, and all Bonds issued
under this Acrshall be EXEMP FROMT TAXATION by
or under any State or municipal authority. Subscrip
tions to these Bonds are received in United States notes,
or notes of National Banks. They are TO BE RE
DEEMED IN COIN, at the pleasure of the Government,
at any period not lam than ten nor more than forty
ware from their date, and until their redemption FIVE
PER CENT. INTEREST WILL BE PAID IN COIN, on
Bonds of not over one hundred dollars annually, and
on all other Bonds semi-annually.
The interest is payable on the first days of March and
September in each year. The semi-annual Coupons are
payable at those dates, and the annual Coupons on the
00 and /00-dollarßonds are payable on the first of March.
Subscribers will receive either' Registered or Coupon
Bonds, as they may prefer. Registered Bonds are re
corded on the books of ebe U. S. Treasurer, and eau be
transferred only on the owner's order. Coupon Bonds
are payable to bearer, and are mom convenient for
commercial uses.
Registered Bonds will be issued of the denominations
of Fifty Dollars (00), One Hundred Dollars (WOO), Five
Hundred Dollars ($500), One Thousand Dollars ($1,000),
Five Thousand Dollars (815,000), and Ten Thousand Dol
lars (kI0,000); and Coupon Bonds of the denominations
of Fifty Dollars ($5O), Ono Hundred Dollars ($100), Fir)
Hundred Dollars (815OO), and One Thousand Dollars
(8x1,000).
Subscribers to this' loan will have the option of having
their Bonds draw interest from March. Ist, by paying
the accrued interest in coin (or in United States notes,
or the notes. of National Banks, adding fifty per cent.
for.premium), or receive them drawing interest from
the date of subscription and deposit.
As these Bonds are exempt from municipal or State
taxation, their value is increased from one to three per
cent. per annum, according to the rate of tax levies in
various parts of the country.
At the present rate of premium on gold they pay over
eight per cent. interest in currency, and are of equal
convenience as a permanent or temporary investment.
It is believed that no securities offer so great inance
rdents to lenders as the various descriptions of U. S.
Bonds. In all other forms of indebtedness the faith or
ability of private parties, or stock companies, or sepa
rate communities, only is pledged for payment, while
for the debts of the United States the whole property of
the country is holden to secure the payment of both
principal and interest in coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in sums from $5O
up to any magnitude, on the sae terms, and are thus
made equally available to the smallest lender and the
largiat capitalist. They can be converted into money at
any moment, and the holder will have the benefit of the
interest.
The fact that all duties on imports are payable in
specie furnishes a fund for like payment of interest on
all Government Bonds largely in excess of the wants of
the treasury for this purpose.
Upon the receipt of subscriptions a certificate of de
posit therefor, in duplicate, will be issued, the original
of which will be forwarded by the subscriber to the Se
cretary of the Treasury, at Washington, with a letter
stating the kind (registered or coupon) and the denomi
nation of bonds required.
Upon the receipt of the original certificates at the Trea
sury Department the Bonds subscribed for will be trans
mitted to the subscribers respectively.
Subscriptions will be received by the TREASURER
OF THE UNITED STATES at Washington, and the
ASSISTANT TREASURERS at Philadelphia, New York,
and Boston, and by the
First National Bank of Philadelphia, Pa.,
