We mean as regards the number of people attracted to them, and their nett proceeds into the treasury. They may now be fairly considered as fixed institutions of the coun try, to occur periodically hereafter, and the only question is as to their proper manage ment, so as to secure the greatest benefits to the farming community. They should be kept entirely distinct from what are called "fairs," on the other side of the water, and confined to their own proper and legitimate sphere. Horse-racing has be come a part of the regular programme, though we are unable to see that the fact of such a horse having the greatest speed has any bearing on agriculture or horticul ture, no agricultural society being organ ized, so far as we know, to encourage horse racing. The display of new and improved implements, vegetables, fruits, seeds, and the opportunity thus afforded for compari son, with the diseussions and interchange o f views elicited, can hardly fail to dissemi nate knowledge and prove highly useful. There is, however, one feature of our an nual shows decidedly objectionable—the se lection of lawyers and doctors, (not farm ers,) to deliver agricultural addresses, and to teach the farmers when and how to plow, and sow, and reap. Tt is quite as unsuita ble, if not more so, than for a farmer to be selected to deliver a lecture before a law or medical university. With some exceptions, these addresses are mostly fair, as literary productions, but of no practical interest or value whatever. We ire pretty sure of finding in them some reference to the well known fact that Adam was placed in a gar den to cultivate and keep it, that Cain was a tiller of the ground, and that Abel was a keeper of sheep. The Georgics and Buco lies of Virgil are also largely .drawn upon formatter. When it is considered that the starting point is so far back as the first cre ation, and that some four thousand years of intervening agricultural history are to be treated of in a discourse of an hour long, it would seem unreasonable to expect any facts applicable to the present times. A great improvement would be to imitate the practice in Congress, and for the speakers to ask leave to print the speeches without delivery. There would be liberal subscrip tions for this on the spot. There are many farmers we could name, fully competent to deliver addresses at our State and County fairs, who, in speaking an hour before an audience of farmers, would have something to say which would be worth hearing at the time and reflecting on afterwards. An excellent systtm we obierve at the New York State Society's exhibitions, is to have' stated subjects of a practical character for discussion, every evening. These sub jects are published hpforehand, so that they can be examined, and preparation made for their disoussion.• At the late exhibition at Utica, the fol lowing, among other topics, was debated, and much information elicited—" Ought pastures for the dairy to be kept perma nently in grass, or to be renewed by plow ing and re-seeding?" It would be well if this plan was adopted at all our,State shows, instead of appointing some one to make moving speeches in the open air to moving audiences.—Rural Ad vertiser. REGULARITY IN FEEDING. Every good farmer knows that any do mestic animal is a good clock—that it knows, almost to a minute, when the regu lar feeding time has arrived. If it has been accustomed to be fed , with accuracy at the appointed period, it will not fret till that period arrives iafter which it becomes Very restless and mew , till its food comes. If it has been fed irregularly, it will begin to fret when the earliest period arrives. Hence, this fretting may be entirely avoided by strict punctuality; but it cannot be otherwise. The very moment the animal begins to worry, that moment it begins to lose flesh ; but • the rate of this loss has never been ascertained—it is certainly worthy of an investigation—and can be only determined by trying the . two modes, punc tuality and irregularity, side by . side, under similar circumstances, and with the same amount of food, for some weeks or months together. There is one precaution to be observed in connection with regular feeding,"where some judgment is needed. Animals eat more in sharp and frosty, than in warm and damp weather.' Hence ) if the same amount by weight is given at every feeding, they will not have enough when the weather. is cold, and will be surfeited when it is warm and damp. Both of these evils must be avoided, while a little attention and obser vation will enable the farmer to do it.— Tucker's Rural Affairs. NEW WATERMELON FROM THE CA P[ AN SEA. At the recat 'Chester County Agricul tural Exhibition, held at West Chester, one of the judges on - fruits advised us of a su perior watermelon, brought to the attention of the committee, exhibited and grown by Bayard Taylor, 'on his farm- in Chester County. It has the remarkable property of keeping through the winter and preserving its delicious flavor unimpaired. It prom ises to be a great acquisition in this line. Bayard Taylor informs us he obtained the seed himself on the Volga, iri the interior of Russia, from a melon grown on the Per sian shore of the Caspian Sea, not being aware at the time that it possessed the pro perty of long keeping after being gathered, although he knew that there were such melons in Russia. It seems to retain this property here, as the melons raised this season have now been six weeks off the vines, fully ripe, and promise to" keep for three months yet.—Rural Advertiser. • THERE is but one satisfying object in earth or in heaven, and to that object you are told constantly to look—it is Jesus. Bitfilintonts. ORIGIN OF DARTMOUTH COLLEGE. The red men who roamed through the dense forests skirting their American colonies, were objects of intense and curious interest to the, people of England. While s tories of wild adveneureand roman tic i n cident " lent enchantment" to these far-off regions, the darkness and degradation of savage life pressed sorrowfully upon the Christian heart; efforts made to propagate the Gospel among the tribes were cordially responded to by English Christians; and when Samson Occum, an Indian preacher, visited those eastern shores and stood be fore a Irondon audience, he was welcomed as the first fruits of a speedy and glorious harvest. Dr. Wheelock's school for the education of Indian youth, at Lebanon, Connecticut, excited a general interest. It was patro nized by the chief men of the colonies, and besides other generous contributions ' both at home and from abroad, Mr. Joshua Moor, a farmer of Mansfield, Connecticut had made it a substantial gift of land, with a building for a school-house; in . memory of which, the school was called Moor's Indian Charity School. Whitefield took it by the hand and commended it to the kind chari ties of his English friends. "My very dear Dr. Wheelock," he writes from London in 1760, " I have just time 'to write you, that upon mentionin,(_ , and a little enfbrcing your Indian affair, the' Lord of all lords put it into the heart of the Marquis of Lothian to put into my hands fifty pounds sterling; you will not fail to send his lordship a letter of thanks and some account of the school. Now the great God has given us Canada, what will become of us, if we do not improve it to his glory and the conversion of the poor heathen ? Satan is doing what he can to bring the work into contempt, by blasphemy and rid icule from both theatres. But you know how the bush burned and was not con sumed ; and why ? Jesus was, and is in it; Hallelujah. ,My hearty love - to the Indian lambs." A hundred pounds came also from an unknown lady; who she was, with Dr. Wheelock, we may be permitted to conjec ture. The doctor thus replies to a friendly and encouraging letter from Lady Hunt, ington. " It animates and refreshes me much to find such fervent love to Christ, and earnest care for the perishing souls of poor savages, breathed forth by a lady of such distinction: My Indian school lives and flourishes only by the grace of God. My number of late has 'been twenty-six. Two young English gentlemen belonging to it were lately ordained to the sacred work, with a view, as soon as provision can be made for their support, to a mission among the Six Nations. Three young In dians are appointed to be schoolmasters among those tribes, and six more to be as sistants for the summer, and return here in the fall. The aforesaid youth were all ap pointed to their respective services, not knowing we had a penny in stock to support them, till a few days ago we were informed by Mr. Whitefield's letter of a hundred pounds sterling from a lady unknown, de voted to the service of this Indian design. My soul blesses the benefactress, and the blessing of many ready to perish, I trust, will come upon her. And then we, who can only conjecture by whom the favor is conferred, shall, by the account itself, and by the crown of glory given as the reward of it, be fully assured of the hand by whom it was done, where there shall be neither a possibility or occasion to conceal her liber ality any mere.". The expenses of the school still outrun ning its ordinary supplies, Dr. Wheelock,, with the advice of his friends, concluded to send Samson Occum, one of the most promising of his graduates, and then prea cher among the Narragansetts, in company with' Rev. Nathaniel Whitaker, of Norwich, to solicit benefactions in England. They arrived in England in the summer 9f 1767. likving brought letters of introduction to Lady Huntington, and already enjoying the personal friendship of Whitefield, who was then in his' native land, they were speedily introduced into the religious cir cles of the metropolis. Occum excited universal attention. He preached to large audiences both at the Tabernacle and Tot tingham Chapel; and in his journey through England and Scotland, was warmly wel comed by Christians of every name. " May God mercifully preserve him from the snares of the devil," ejaculated his old instructor on hearing of his flattering re ception in the old world. As the fruit of missionary enterprise, and a specimen of well-directed efforts to christianize the savages, the presence of Occum not only encouraged Christian be nevolence, but shamed the lukewarm and silenced the heartless ridicule of opposers. Whitefield, Wesley,' Romaine, and Venn, all advocated the school, and money flowed generously in A board of trustees was organized in London to recieve contribu tions and disburse them to Dr. Wheelock, according to his needs. The Earl of Dart mouth was , chosen president.of this board, among whom we find the well-known names of Charles Hotham and John Thornton. Seven thousand pounds were collected in England, and between two and three thou sand in Scotland; and thus, through the favor of God, the interests of this little school found lodgement in the hearts of the great and good. As its course of study was limited, and its pupils had to be sent to distant colleges in order to complete their preparations fdr future usefulness, it was now thought ad visable by its friends in the colonies, to en large its sphere of operations by removing it to a more eligible location and connecting a college with it. Generous offers were made by different and distant towns, to have it located within their borders. Gen eral Lyman was anxious it should come 'within his grant of land on the Mississippi. The governor or Massachu setts offered it a large tract in Berkshire county ; a larger offer was made by the city of Albany, and a still more generous one issued from Governor Wentworth, of New Hampshire, consisting of five hundred acres of land in the township of Hanover, and a charter of the township of Landaff, , consisting of twenty-four thousand acres, THE AMERICAN .PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1865. with his own agency to procure a royal charter for the college. Dr. Wheelock sent these different pro posals to the Earl of Dartmouth, asking the advice of the board of trustees. The offer of Governor 'Wentworth was accepted, and the little shoot was planted in a granite soil. It was in August, 1770, that Dr. Whee lock, then in his sixty-first year, went forth from the ease and comfort of the older set- tlements to make a new home in the yet unbroken forests. The lofty pines were levelled, a little clearing opened to the sun- light, and a few rude cabins erected, when the doctor's family and pupils, numbering seventy persons, began their toilsome jour ney to the north. The ladies lumbered along in a coach given him by some Lon don friends ; the rest, on horseback and on foot, left the travelled roads and plunged into the rude paths of the wood; the jour ney occupying as many weeks then, as it now does hours. The doctor, like a patri arch in the desert, gave them a hearty welcome in the name of the Lord : gather ing his flock around him, a hymn of praise and the voice of grateful prayer broke upon the deep solitudes of the.wilderness. His cheerful courage and unflinching faith in spired the most desponding; while, with the activity and enterprise of youth, he laid out plans, selected sites, and shared all the privations of his fellow workers. The frame of a college building, eighty feet in length and two stories in height, was soon raised and partially covered ; a hall and, two or three rooms were nearly finished, when the autumn storms, coming on earlier than usual, put a stop to further progress. Many were the hardships. of this little colony during the first year pf its existence; want of water, scanty supplies, coarse fare, drifting snows, beds made of boughs, with the nameless, yet mumerous discomforts of new settlers, made up the stern discipline of this long and dreary winter. Like Elijah, who founded'a school of prophets in the wilderness of Jordan, the good man fainted not, but trusted in Him who is the refuge and the fortress of his people. Though the snow lay four feet deep, and the sun was long in climbing above the topmost pine—though the cold northwester came like the breath of icebergs, there were warm hearts and devout spirits and busy hands in this forest clearing. God too was there with the tokens of his favor. Through the reviving and convert-• ing influences of his grace, Dr. Wheelock, in January, had the unspeakable satisfac tion of gathering from his flock a church of thirty members, who made a solemn dedi cation of themselves to the service of God. As a testimony of respect to. William Earl of Dartmouth, one of its earliest pat rons and benefactors, this institution was named Dartmouth College; and expressive of its high birth and aim, its seal bears the significant motto, " Vox clamantis in de serto"—" The voice of one crying in the wilderness." Dartmouth College, in the town of Hanover, New Hampshire, is•the cherished and venerated alma mater of many great and good men, whose names live in the heart of the republic, and whose virtues are the treasures of the church. A portrait of its patron hangs in one of the college halls. We look with admira tion upon the handsome features and ripened manhood of this wealthy and ac complished English peer, but better and more beautiful still is it to think of him as casting all his honors at the Saviour's feet, and counting it his highest privilege to be known as a follower of Christ. The king and some noblemen were once going out upon an early morning ride. Waiting a few moments for Lord Dart mouth, one of the party rebuked him for his tardiness. " I have learned to wait upon the King of kings before I wait on my earthly sovereign," was his reply. May the lofty and uncompromising tone of his religious character ever distinguish the in stitution which bears his name.—Lady Huntington and her Friends. THE LIQUOR DEALER AND HIS VICT Which shall be punished ? A crime n i lti been committed, and rum was the ca s The liquor dealer had sold it to the a derer for a bonnet, which a kind Sabb ;1 school teacher had given his little girl. : was the third bonnet he had bought of i within three months, and he• had paid 'o them all in maddening drink. It was safe transactwn, and he had made five h dred per cent. in each operation. He kne that the wretch would whip his wife, b he did not know that he would kill her And now that vengeance is aroused, on whom shall it fall ? A benevolent lady, a thirsty sot, and a thrifty trader who drives his businesi in defiance of constitutional laws, the Public Safety Association, and jurors who are either owners or constant patrons of liqu t o shops; these are thaparties—which shall b,; punished ? What were their motives ? Th lady pitied the little girl and wished to en able her to attend Sabbath-school. The in ebriate's thurst was uncontrollable; and nothing but alcohol could appease it: To slake it he would sell anything that the liquor dealer would buy—anything that man can sell. Under, goadings of that re morseless thirst, he is ,for the time, scarce a responsible being; and while drunken he is no more responsible .than a lunatic. The law holds him so, for his condition is his own voluntary act; it would do it from sheer necessity, for let but the plea of in sanity or even of " insane impulse" avail him, and the number of murders and other crimes would be doubled.' So when most maddened he is technically sane, and is seized before he recovers. The liquor dealers and the opponents of the Prohibitory Law deem his insanity a crime for which he ought to be rigidly punished, perhaps justly. But the liquor dealer is sane, very sure. With an eye single to gain, oblivious to every other consideration, he plies his dreadfal task. Human-feelin g s and human frailties remove from his fraternity one and another class of his competitors. His profits are beyond those known to any others,save to the breakers of laws, that juries are bound to respect. He might possibly make more by receiving and selling stolen goods, but if arrested for that, no Public Safety Asso ciation would come to his relief. There is something so hateful in melting .down a silver vase, or a statuette of Washington,. for the metal it contains, but to melt down thrifty family into a guilty sot, a weeping, bruised wife, and ragged, hopeless children, for so much coin as can be extracted from their life-blood—this is the business that the citizens are invited to license; and Mr. Sennott tells us that " lice/ means it is LAWFUL." Shall we do so ? +Do this, and we remove one of the four obstacles which only stand between the retail dealer, even on the scale, and great wealth; for he certainly gets rich unless either death, or the law, or intem perance arrests his career, or he shrinks back aghast from all the wickedness and woe he ;is causing. Of this last event it is easy t'. calculate the probability.—Boston Recorder.
