Minister Sargent tins been transferred from Berlin U St. Petersburg, nnd ut ttie Inttance of Secretary Frclinghuyscn the confirmation of fits anointment was made by the Sennte without refcreuce te a committee. Tlie secretary in tele graphing this action te Sargent repre repre eents It te be n signal mnrk of the regard of the Senate, and ene that nuv rami might be proud of. The real fact Is that in saying this the secretary fibbed ; since tbe Senate lias no such high regard for Sargent, nnd meant te ex press none for him. It was will ing te make the transfer asked for because it desired te rebuke Bismarck for snubbing Sargent and te express Its approval of the latter's action in the matter which has lately been at Issue be twecn the two countries. Secretary rrclinghu-fsen In taking occasion te furnish Sargent with a full certificate of geed character, delivered what he did net have in hand. Saigent is in truth n tnlsernblercpreseiitntlvoef the character and intelligence of the country. He will de better in llussla than in Germany. His modes and measures will suit St, Petersburg better than Berlin. Russia docs nit enjoy n high degree of civiliza tion ; neither does Sargent. The Rus sian mission seems always open as a place of polite banishment. Tew minis ters go there save under the pressure of adverse circumstances, nml of late it has been a killing place. Cabinet minis ters who are no longer wanted are in the habit of going there, and when Minister Hunt died, the piace was con veniently vacant for Secretary Felger, whom Arthur would love te be rid of. The determination, however, lias lately been reached that It will net de te put lelger out) unless he offers te go ; and as there was no chance of that, Sargent was shot into the vacancy under pre pre tence that It is a promotion, which it is net. The place he leaves at Berlin is much mere inviting te the taste of the aspiring politician. Te say nothing of the meie agreeable residence, there is a mueli better chance te get in work which will win reputation at home. But circumstances alter cases, and Mr. Sar gent, no doubt, will go uway gleefully because the cold at St. Petersburg is nothing te the social chill from which he suffers ut'Be rllu. Scientific Funning. The state agricultural cellege in Centre county has been the subject of attention from the trustees. It enjoys a net Income of thirty thousand dollars, fifteen professors aud a hundred and fifty students or less. It has three farms ene at the college, one in the eastern part of the state and one in the western. The east nnd west farms are said te be discreditable te the scientific farming.ef which they are supposed te be samples ; and very lxier advertisements, indeed, of the benefit of the agricultural college But we may say with a geed deal of cenfidence that the general advertise meat of the agricultural college is just about that which is made by these farms; in ether words tlie popular Im presslen is that the agricultural college is of very little public benefit. The beard which has just been sitting en it at Bellefonte, seemed te have an idea of this kind. It resolved that the number of the professors and their salaries should be reduced ; there were only ene or two professors lopped off and a thousand dollars or se from their salaries, but still it was a commencement and a warning of what will coma if the college cannot show Itself te be of some cense queuce te the farming interest it was created long age te promote. One fea ture of the appropriation of the college fuuds reems peculiar. Six thousand del lare was given te sustain each of the outlying farms. New it does ceem that a farm that won't sustain ItFclf should be get rid of. If scientific farming of a practical kind cesta mere than it Bccures from the land, it is evidently net of a kind that Pennsyl vania farmers want te knew anything nbent. What is especially reeded by farmers is information as te li iw they may preatnbly work their furun. Here In Laucaster county the question hai been answered by our German fanners ; aud as they have get ricli they have proved their answer. There Is no secret hi It 5 they have achieved their results by hard work in taking off all their laud would yield and restoring te It all it would take. It does net matter much what action the Democratic cengrtfsrnen take in the tariff question, ae that they act unitedly. They have settled that they will consider the Morrison bill and that they will puss a bill. New they need te agree upon what that bill shall l. If they cannot ngree en a horizontal reduction all around, let them select certain articles en which the tariff should be lowered or remitted altogether. It would seem that there are many such articles as te which agree ment would be easy. We are of opinion that the reduction of the tariff should begln by an eulargemerit of the jree iisi. . iiut ns we have Bald, the material thine uew la that our non. gressmen should unite in setting their iuces tewarus a tariff reduction of some kind, the degree and nature of It being of llttle consequence. They have deter mined in caucus that they will make aorne reduction : and there should i. no falling out among them about Its quantity or kiuu. Tiik electric lights still fail te shlue. They nre no longer expected te sulne. and the people of the town nre becoming philosophical ever their nlllictleii. It Is really se great an imposition en their geed nnturu that they feel Hke honoring the draft Juat te show their possibili ties in that line. Te pay a great big price for such lights as we new have, is something which, it Is eufe te say, is asked from no ether community. It Is as certain ns anything can be that if these- in charge of our niTairs were decent nnd honest men the electric light pojej weu'd be cut down and the town sent back te the lUumiuulleu of ceul oil or gas. The men who are continuing upon us this electric light ntllictlun of Intermittent darkness should be caught under ene of the lightest of the lamps and strung up by its cord.

A larne foree of men was at work en Tuesday building up the enfeebled ramparts with stones and brush.

One after auother, two adjaceut aud somewhat smaller dams burst. On Reaver brook were situated the dwellings of many workmen, employed in Seuth Ansonia factories, and a dozen of these gave way before the lloed, iu a number of iustauees iumttes having almost miracueusly escaped from death.

A great deal of corn remains iu the fields throughout that acctien, and en gatheriug It this apriug it ia found te be of little value ler the purposea of feeding. More than a saore of leading farmers have been questioned dur ing the week, nud they agree that there is great likolihoed that the corn planting will be overdeno this year, ea a result of the high prices obtained during last winter. This fact is admonishing the sharper clasa of farmera te turn their attention te ethor branches of work, and the oattle industry will have a corresponding incroase. Much complaint la heard of the ravages of field mice iu the incadewa of Northern Sangamon aud part of Legun counties, and iu seme localities farmera are olfering pre miums for destroying tlieis.
