The farmer's High School.
If there is any project above another in
polut'of importance, which should arrest
public attention and elicit hearty sympa
thy and support, it is that of establishing
upon a broad and permanent basis a High
.School for the education of our/farthers —
a school in which the chemistry of the soil,
its adaptation to the varieties of grasses,
cereals, vegetables and fruits, shall be
thoroughly- taught; where Botany, Geolo
gy, Meteorology, Eaudseape
(laraening, Agricultural Economy, & what
ctcr .relates to the treatment and breeding
. of; Domestic Animals shall be embraced in
the course of instraction • aschool in which,
if please, Apiculture shall be raised
to its proper nobuity as the "first of sciences.

Yet, sis agriculture' is‘-now esteemed, we
regret to say the young men of the
country desert [their farms for the city,
iswam as very (animalcules in the profes
sions, little uobftdies with extensive preten
sionsUor worsejstill, usiirp the places!-of
women at our Counters, and waste their
best days in handling a yard
fied to languish* effeminate and soft paluied,
intheatmosphero of “quality," deeper- ,
atcly attached to the importance of fault
less wuistebats and-irreproachable linen.—
They affect to despise the hard hands, iron
sinewy, jand;bronzed faces of theircoufttry
cousins* and are the very Beau Brummels
of ennuipnd nothingness.
There is, therefore, a keen necessity for
an institution which shall offer for the young
man such attractions, and shall educate him
into such, wholesome tastes, that no tink
ling sound of professional reputation of the
allurements of fashionable life in ourgreat
cities, shall seduce him from his devotion j
to Nature and her noblest work. Such an
Institution has within two years been .es
tablished at Ovid, N. Y., and they arc
springing up all over the west. Ip our
own State the organization of one is im
perfectly effected. By the report qf the
j Board of Trustees we learn that they have
succeeded in purchasing two hundred acres
adjoining a similar number donated by
Gen. James Irvine for the establishment
of a Farmer's High School in Centre,coun
ty. For this they have incurred a debt j
edi $ll,OOO, payable within five years. The
citizens of Center county have contributed
$40,00(1, the State Agricultural Society
$lO,OOO, and the Legislature $45,000 for
the erection of suitable buildings, laying
qut the grounds, planting as extensively
j is practicable, preparatory to the com-
I mcpcement of a course of Instruction. Ip
I their report the Trustees say ;
j A convenient farm house, a largo hard,
I coyn-cribs, wagon-sheds and other ucccs
| aary out building’s have been completed ;
|an edifice two hundred and thirty-three
: feet in front, and five stories high, with
s wi.ngs at either end, built of limestone, is
in a state of forwardness and will be com
i pleted during the ensuing summer, at a
j cost of fifty-five thousand dollars. The
building is adapted to the accommodation
of at least professors, with their fami
lies, and three hundred students. The
Board had anticipated that such progress
would have been made iu this building, as
to have enabled them to receive a few stu
dents in the ensuing spring, but in this
they have been disappointed,, the season
having so far advanced as to preclude the
hope of getting any part of it under roof
this season. It has been deemed better to
proceed slowly and certainly, an
of economy'apd prudence, rat hey than in
volve the institution;ln an expensive em
ployment of professors and teachers before
their services could be made-efficient and
useful.
This Institution should receive the spe
cial sympathy of farmers. It, should be
richly endowed, the best teachers employ
ed, and abundant means placed at the dis
position of the Board of Managers fqr fit
ting up the buildings, fprnisliingv jthem,
and supplying extensive laboratories and a
library. It is destined to be the most im
portant institution in the State,
results that shallmakcourhalf-iilled,farms
and waste lands to blossom as the rose.
Wailed lake in lowa—A Curl
' ostty. , ;
and in others ten feet high. These rocks,
many of them at least, must have been
brought a |ong distance-^—probably five or
ten miles. In IVright county, the lost
rocks are 1 ; Scattered pretty freely, but as
you approach this lake they disappear,
showing that they have been gathered by
some; agency, when, or by whom, history
will never!unfold. Some of the largest
•oaks in the ground are growing up through
the wall, pushing the rocks in,- in some
cases —outside in others,. accommodating
their shapes to the rocka. The Jake abounds
with, excellent fish. The kud.jnthat
township yet belongs to the government.
When I-was there, in the spring of 1856,
the wind had blown a large piece of ice;
against the southwest part of the wall and
had knockjed it down, so that the water
was running out and flooding the farms of
some of the settlers, and they -were about
to repair the wall to protect their crops.
It is beautiful farm laud nearly all around
this lovely lake.
The readers of the Gazette should not
imagine that the wall around this lake is
as regular land as nice as ihe wall around
the Fountain in front of the City Hall in
New Xork, nor need any entertain the the
ory that it; is a natural wall; but it has
been built; hundred 1 ?, and probably thou
sands of years. The antiquarian may
speculate by whom this mighty as well as
ornamental .work was done, but it will only
i be speculation.
'Notwithstanding the water in' the lake
is pure and cool, there is no visible feeder
or outlet. : This l|ike is about twelve miles
north of the located line of the Dubuque
and Pacifib railroad, and about one hun
dred and fifty mi!os east of the former
place. The time is coming when the lake
will be a great place of public resort.

Secoml Escape of < lie “ Adriatic.”
The authority on which the telegram an
nouncing :thc escape of the American bark
Adriatic"was based, was on the following
extracts from Paris letters to the Loudon
papers, jbe question as to the lawfulness
or unlawfulness of the seizure of Captain
Durham’s; vessel by French authorities, is
now giving rise to quite animated and eru
dite discussion in Eastern journals. The
Times condemns the escape. The Even
ing Post, most excellent authority, upholds
it on the ground that in the present case
the Adriatic was captured in a bay, or
gulf, on the Sardinian N coast, and wholly
within Sardinian and not French jurisdic
tion : :
“ You have already heard how that mar
itime Jack Sheppard, Captain Durham, of
the Adriatic clipper, has broken loose,
again, and is once more over the waters of
the dark jbluc sea. Count Cavoar tele
graphed to the authorities at Marseilles
and Toulon his arrival in the Cult'of Spcz
zia. whenjee the French war steamer drug
ged him to Genoa, the. weather being too
stormy to proceed further.
“It appears that they relied pu the Ge
noese Captain of the Port for safe, custody,
and the Port Captain on the French; but
between them, amid the squalls and dark
ness, the ’clipper crept out at night, and
dash'gd off in a {smart and clever style. Le
ver tolls hs of a. Tipperary peasant, when
asked to pay for prayers for his son, who
had come to grief, saying £ My boy, when
alive brolfic o\it of every jail in Munster,
and he wbn’t stay long in purgatory.' ”
Another letter says ; “ brother Jonathan
has again, given the French cruisers the
go-by. The clipper Adriatic, 1 which slip
ped out of Marseilles in the clever way I
mentioned at the time, though an embargo
had becndaid ujmn her, was overhauled in
Spezzia liny by a French steamer or two_
scat after her. But a tempest arose in
the night, which the Frenchman spent in
making all taut. \At daybreak next morn
ing a speck in the horizon was all that
could bo pccn of the Adriatic.
Hard Times and Country Palpers.
—The. Ifeston CJirsmidc, in an article on
this subject, well remarks. -
If people only knew the difficulties
newspaper publishers have to contend with
just noWj they would never want to be
dunned half a dozen times for such small
amounts-as two or three or four dollars. : —
Labor, piper and ink have to be paid for
in cash j yet we doubt very much whether
there are an establishments which would
be morethan self-sustaining, if custodiers
would only pay what they owe, without
taking from one to two years to do it in.
If thdipress of the country gradually de
clines Tioth in numbers, ability and respec
tability, 4hoso who have abused .the leni
ency of the proprietors in the matter of
credits, twill be alone to blame for the,un-'
fortunate, issue, v And that such will rbe
the case We can Easily ;The storm
in the ccunmeroi&l world will destroy the

Printers have as yet failed toudiscover any
easier way of satisfying the demands of pa*

more ! Work their establishments as cheap
ly as possible, live as frugally and econom
ically as they can, yet few country publish
ers secure as much property in a dozen
years as an mechanic will do
in half that time. The very nature of the
newspaper business, with its long credits
and small profits, and bad debts, forbids
anything like the accumulation of wealth,
and we have very little hesitation in saying
that, had our country brethren generally
tajeen their in can a and labor —their pa
tience and energy —to any other market
than the one they have found for them,
they would have this? day been tenfold bet
tor off in a pecuniary point of view, than
they are or have been, since they became
newspaper proprietors.

truths well, and in alee up their minds to

Great Men Noting in Kansas.
The Kansas correspondent of the Cin
cinnati Times says that the investigation
before the Board, of Commissioners at
Leavenworth in reference to the Kickapoo
■election frauds brought to light some re
in a rkabsle facts. One of the Kickapoo
judges was before the Commission, and re
fused to answer the question whether a
majority of the names on the poll-book
were fictitious or not, for fear of erivu me
ting himself'.. The correspondent then
says :
••The richc.-t tiling yet brought to light,
was the production of the original poll-book
of the vote on the Constitution. Doc. 21,
1857, which is on file in the County Re
corder's Office. In looking over this poll
book, I fotiud that the 270th voter was
James Buchanan, of the iui
ted Htatesl He voted early as the De
mocracy generally do. Next on the list
of distinguished men, appears, as the 27tith
voter, Win. 11. Seward, of New -York ; next
J2od, Thomas I'. Marshal!, of Kentucky;
714th, George W. Brown, editor *• ll< i
ahl of Freedom then 859th, John C.
Fremont; and immediately after, the cele
brated John Herndon I
Then comes in the 897th voter, J. W.
Denver, Governor of Kansas, who had on
ly taken his place as Governor the day bo-;
fore, and was then in Lccompton, 50 miles
distant! And the next phase presented
is “ Thirty Years View.” Thus. 11. Ben
ton appearing as the Ulsth voter. And
now it was dark, the polls being kept open
till hi o’clock, when, alas 1 for Trail human
ity, for the compunctious visitmgs of con
science, in slips Horace Greeley and steal
thily deposits his ballot as the 980th voter.
It is now t>£ o’clock, and the curtain rises
on the last act of the drama and in steps,
in all, his : majestic proportions, Edwin
Forrest, as the ten hundred and twvnty
sixth voter ! This is Mr. Forrest’s “ first”
appearance-on a Kansas stage.
The following summing up appears at
the end of the names :

E. Meriarn, the curious man who lives at
