AGRICULTIIIIML EPIJCATION.
, One of the most substantial evidences yet
given of the advance that has been made in
•the preparation of young men for agricul
tural pursuits, is to be seen in what may be
called the resurrection of the Agricultural
College of Pennsylvania. The wonders that
have already been accomplished by scientific
farming have lifted the farming' class from
the position of mere ploughmen and har
vesters, and made the farmer not only an
honorable, but an envied member of society.
And whet has already been achieved is but
a foretaste of what is yet to be done. Who
ever surveys the vast 'fields of this country
which are yet to be brought under cultiva
tion, or the half-productive farms from
which ignorance or prejudice reaps but a
scanty moiety of what they might produce,
.mast see that a race of intelligent,
trained, educated men is yet needed to de
velop` this great department of American in-
dustry, and that when they do come forward
to take the places of their fathers, there is to
be an immense increase in the wealth and
_prosperity of the country.
To train such men; to give this State, and
the country at large, a supply of educated
farmers, the Agricultural College of Pennsyl
vania has been vigorously revived and reor
ganized upon a basis which promises perma
nence and success.
The Pennsylvania Agricultural College is
located upon a farm of four hundred acres of
•fine farm land in Centre county, about twelve
miles from Bellefonte. It will accommodate
'lour hundred students, and the course of
studies will cover ;) very wide field of
practical knowledge, including Agriculture,
Civil Engineering, Mining, and the Me
chanic Arts. The grants made to the Col
lege by the National and State governments
have enabled its trustees to offer extraordi
nary inducements to students, and there is
every prospect that the institution will ra
pidly take such a position as will reflect great
credit upon our State, and contribute largely
to the improvement and elevation of a very
important class of the community.
The Hon. Thomas El Burrowes, the for
mer Superintendent of Public Schools in
Pennsylvania, has accepted the Presidency of
the Agricultural College, and has taken hold
of, the work with an energy and enthusiasm
to which long experience adds great force,
and from which advancing years seem to de
tract nothing.
In these days, when mistaken notions as
to the best avenues to prosperity and
happiness - are driving young men
to the large cities, in the eager hope
of rapidly becoming rich, it in of the utmost
r importance to demonstrate the substantial
advantages of just each an education as is
offered by the Agricultural College of Penn
, f .i.. Bylvania. The application of modern science
=,l‘ to Avriculture, Mining, Mechanics, and En.
- ;:l. gineering furnishes the young man starting
; I in life, with or without pecuniary capital, a
144. nnbstantial capital of practical knowledge
t.4which can scarcely fail to bring him a com
rrfortable and honorable independence. Most
' l -'' , Ofthomechanic trades, and all of the learned
, professions, except the highest, are already
t
1.-overcrowded
But it is simply impossible,
at least for a century to come, to overcrowd
,the, agricultural class of the country. "Un
'-'cle Sam's Farm" is too vast be be
'ly overstocked. Every part of
is becoming rapidly accessible,
d whether the young man wishes to stay

at home`and cultivatf3 the rich paternal acres
of bifkinheritanee, `onto launch' out and'make
a home'and a name - for himself upon the fer
tile soil of the South or the great West, his
failure or success will be measured bribe
degree to which , he has mastered those prin.
ciples of science of which he will know little
by tradition or inheritance,but w:hich he may
acquire, if he has patience and ambition
enough to do OQ. The difference that divides
the modern educated farmer -or mechanic
from
. his old-fashioned predecessors, is the
difference between light and darkness, and
the results which he accomplishes will sur
pass theirs immeasureably.
Pennsylvania acts wisely and well when
she pushes forward her educational system
into all the branches of human society. The
Commonwealth gains new strength and dig_
nity and wealth from every new enterprise
that is set forward in the direction of individ
ual culture and improvenient, There is no
business, no ?natter, how humble or lofty,that
is not bettered by edvcation; and while we
*ant higher standards in all the learned pro—
fessions, higher scholarships, broader views
and greater attainmente, we want better far
mers, better mechanics,bettex manufacturers,
better miners, better laborers in'all the walks
of life. It ie for this reason that we hail •the
re-establishment of the Agricultural Colleen
of Pennsylvania as an omen of good for the
State, and wish it . the success it deserves, for
t seems., to possess' every condition that
promises the best results, in , its management,
its location and the many inducements which
it offers to'young men to enter its classes.
PAVJMUo
Every one knows and admits that the
paving of the streets of Philadelphia is a
nuisance and a disgrace. Formerly, when
ordinary vehicles had the use of the whole
street, things were not so bad: But the rail
roads have not only possession of all the best
part, but by extending the top grade to the
edges of their rails, have, thrown the whole
pitch upon tha,sides, so that every time.a ve
hicle has to leave the rails, it is racked almost
to breaking tiri:wheels. This is a great in
convenience and one which therailwaysitave
no right to inflict. It is only another instance
of the way in which they have disregarded
all rights, all convenience but their own.
Some time back, Councils passed an
ordinance that all new paving done between
Christian street and Girard avenue, east of
the Schuylkill, should be done with Belgian
blocks. But various persons having pave
ment to make have applied for "special ex
ceptions," and in at least one case this has
been granted. This is all wrong. SuCh an
ordinance, to be just, should affect all alike,
and either these special privileges should be
withdrawn or the ordinance be repealed.
This last, however, we should regret to see
done. The nuisance of the cobble stones has
become unendurable, and some remedy must
be found. If the condition had been imposed
upon the railways that ' should pave the
sides of all the streets they took with Belgian
blocks they could easily have afforded it, and
thus they would make up for their appropria
tion of the middle.
It is certainly a mistake to lay, or even to
repair, any more cobble stones in our great
thoroughfares. We regretted to see Broad
street repaired with cobble pavement when
the tracks were taken up last year, as these
stones will certainly have to be removed,
and the expense is thrown away. When the
rails north of Olive street are removed in the
Spring, we hope to 'see a thoroughly guod
pavement put down. Probably the Nicol
son pavement, with the modification of
forcing coal tar into the pores, would be best,
if not let us have Belgian, or whatever pro
misee best. It is time that this subject should
be discussed now, so that when the street is
ready to be repaired some appropriate course
shall have been decided upon. If Belgian
blocks are to be used they should be con
tracted for in advance, or we may expect
some of the interminable delays that have
attended the paving of Broad street, north
of the Germantown Railroad,—which, by
the way, we hope Councils will in
sist on having finished as early next year as
practicable. We earnestly invite the atten
tion of our new Councils to this whole mat-
ter of paving, and trust moreover that they
will insist on having it better done. Much
of the paving in the suburbs is done by irre
sponsible men, and has to be done over in a
few years. If any one wants to see how bad
paving is accepted by the Highway Depart
ment, let him inspect Thirteenth street, be
tween Montgomery and Berksf. On many of
these streets, a year or two after the owners
have paid for paving, the city (in other
words, the tax-payers) have to pay for doing
it over again. Nothing could be worse, ex
cept for the Highway Department to under
take it, in which case it could be no better
and cost double, as seems to be the case with
most work done for municipal corporations.
EX-PRESIDLNV ItO alums.
Ex-President Roberts, of Liberia, who has
been in this country for several months, has
established his temporary residence in Wash
ington, where he has taken B L _house. Mr.
Roberts, though no longereolding an official
relation to the Republic of Liberia, with
whose whole history he is so closely identi
fied, still retains the liveliest interest in its
welfare, and is now devoting himself princi
pally, to the educational interests of his
country as President of Liberia College. The
military and civil career of this distinguished
gentleman in Liberia are too well known to
need repetition in these days. All who are
brought in contact with him are impressed
with the dignity of his appearance and man
ner, and the keen shrewdness and far-seeing
wisdom of his observations. Ex-President
Roberts preseies in his own person the strong
est argument in favor of Liberian colonization
and his sojourn in this country is doing much
to renew the interest in the whole subject of
the eventual return of a large portion of his
race to their native land.
During Ex—President Robertes recent visit
to this city, he was the recipient of the hospi-
talities of some of our leading citizens; and it
is a noteworthy coincidence that while the
Princeton Alumni were engaged in honoring
Scotland by their reception of the Rev. Dr.
McCosh, at the Rev. Dr. Crowell's church,
Ex—President Roberts was - being entertained
in the adjoining house, by one of our most
eminent citizens; the two events forining
another of the striking illustrations of that
grand catholicity by which America fuses all
nationalities into one.

Die Botinsate of Gott. Grant-flit Plan
of Reconstruction The Laws of Con
grass Should be supported.
Gen. dames Longstreet has written the follow
ing patriotic letter:
Lvstcnneno, Ye., Nov. 24.—My Dear Sir :
'Many of, our Southern men seem to have lost
sight of the fundamental doctrine—the interest of
the people—in their zeal to maintain their ideas
of eminency, which consists in adhering to old
Waits - whether they work for weal or woe. I
regret that I am not better prepared to meet your
wishes for information In regard to the future
policy of our new_Prealdent. Although I have
had the pleasure of several interviews with him,
within the last few years, I have not sought to
learn his appreciation of political questions of the
present or of the future. 1 regard his past course
and'decided character as the surest guarantees of
his future course. The floating idea that has at
tached itself to the minds of the many that he
may yet prove to be a Democrat, is like many
other speculations that - gain circulation
and credence; but only serve to de
ceive those who are credulous enough
to indulge them. If we recall to mind the events
of the last two years, 'we shall remember that
General Grant's position at one time was such as
to insure his nomination for President by the
party that he might choose as most in accord
with his vilwa of public policy, and subsequent
events indicate that his personal popularit •
such as to have turned the balance in his
favor. It seems to me unreasonable, therefore,
to expect to find him, at this late day. seeking al
liance with the old party. His antecedents clearly
mark him as a national man,and of such he gives
assurance of his adhesion to the party whose ba
sis Is the Union, and that the influence of his ad
ministration will be applied to its complete and
prosperous restoration. A !air-minded people
must know, Lowever.that no individual, unaided.
can accomplish this great - purpose. He must
needs have the assistance of the North, of the
South, of the East, and of the West. Having as
surances of co-operation from other parts of the
country, he only wants that of the South to com
plete the combination which will give to his
administration a happy advent, and comfortable
anticipations of its salutaryterogress. That the
people of the South desire practical reconstruc
tion; there can be no doubt, but it seems to be
difficult to develop that sentiment so as to pro
duce practical results. Drifting along in the
channel into which chance seems to have thrown
me, I begin to find myself, like many others,
ready with my theory. As it may interest you, I
give yon a concise statement of it. If you find
thatyon can make it useful, you are at liberty to
do so: The wealth of the Sentia Ilea in its soil. If
this proposition is true, its sequenta are equally
so.
1. Labor is essential to make that wealth avail
able.
2. To command labor, laws must encourage
and protect it. Also their co-sequents. To encour
age and invite labor, 'evidences of protection
must be madetaanitest through the operation of
law upon the labor that we have. Hence, it ap
pears that the value of our lands depend upon
our labor, our labor upon the law, and the law
upon us. A failure upon our part, therefore, to
enact and enforce proper laws, ,will be as fatal
to the interests of the owners of real estate as
confiscation. And yet, all that Congress asks us
to do is to avail ourselves of the only means by
which we may avoid serious depreeiation of
our materiel interests. That is, this will be the
praetical Jesuit of reconstruction, under national
legislation, upon our interests. The moving
cause of that legislation, probably, was "security
for the future. Here we may discover the line
that should mark our connection with reconstruc
tion. It begins and ends in our care for home
interests. It, will, be time enough to begin to
hok into the future when we have provided for
the present. The politicians of the old school
seem anxious to impress upon the minds of our
young men the importance of rejecting all pro
positions coming from the Republican party, or
else they dishonor their own blood, and the blood
of their fallen comrades. But gentlemen should
remember that they only dishonor the com
rades when they dishonor themselves, and that
there cannot be dishonor in ready obedience to
law and a proper care for our own welfare. On
the contrary, to discard the law and expose our
selves to unnecessary dialcultles, is near akin to
dishonor. It is true that many worthy persons
are disfranchised under the law, but the, readiest
and surest means of relief are through the law.
I conclude, therefore, that interest, and duty and
honor demand that we should plaCe ourselves in
a condition.to support the laws of Congress.
When we have done 80, we shall receive abund
antly of help from the Execative, and from the
other members of the Government. I remain,
very truly yours, JAMBS LONGBTEEET.

Monona, Dec. M.—There is brit little change to record
in financial circler, tbe demand for capital being quite
active, but it is freely met, and we continue to quote
'call leant" at 6@731. per cent on government collaterals,
and 7@9 per cent on mixed securities, 'with occasional
negotiations above and below these figures. An easier
state of affairs will be likely to exist after the first pros.
when large sums will be dintributed in the •payment of
interest on government loans and other securities.
Trade is in a very unsatisfactory condition, the trans
action's being mostly confined to small lots fcr immediate
consumption. Among the Dry Goods houses particularly.
we bear of many bitter complaints, and the operations of
the wholesale grocers and provision dealers are light for
this period of the year. Breadstuffs are excessively dull.
and pnces of all descriptions are drooping. The stock of
flour is considerably in excess of thin period last year,with
a total absence of any shipping demand.
be business at the Stock. Board•thia morninr, was very
light, the time of the members being occupied in discus

(Continued from Second Edition •
George J. Henkele sworn--1 am a cabinet-maker; (bill
produced) that is my receipt,: these geode were purchased
from me in the name of Mrs. Twitehell.
Mr litegert—lt ought to be shown by whom they were
purchased.
Question—By whom? - • •
Answer—The. goods were Selected by `we or three
parties ; I thick two ladies and Mr. Twitched; when the
goods were sent home Mr. Twitcheli came and paid the
bill; the goods were sent to Tenth and Pine; (second bill
produced), theee were also purchased In the eame way.
Grose-examined.-2 he tint sale I made in_ person; it 'A
new 23 4 years shicelhe sale ; milady and Mr. Twitchell
came, and I think another ono came ;don't know whether
the lady with Mr. Tw lichen was his wife; did not notice
the age or appearance of the other lady: the second bill
'is charged to *lr. Mar 26. 1866;• 'heather bill
is May 10: both bills were paid the day they were bought
The bills were offered in evidence.
Mr. Hagert objected.
Mr; Mann said, the purpose was to show that the goods
belonged to Mrs. Twitchell. and therefore the prisoner
could have no interest in murdering his motheein.law
order to obtain possoraion of the furniture; etc.
Mr. Heger said that the original offer .was- to 'show
that Mrs. Hill bought the - goo& and presented theta to
her daughter; now the offer Is to Nova that the daughter .
owned them, when that has nothing to do with this case.
as the commionweatth alleges that the motive for the
murder was to retain the title to' he real estate.. The
Commonwealth cannot introduced' any testimony in re
gard to the personal estate, and this testimony now
is no answer to any portion of the prosecution.
Judge Brewster said be would like to hear Mr. Mann
explain what the furniture bad to do with this case. It
strikes me inthis way: Suppose two men wore stopping
in a room at a hotel, and one is found murdered, and the
other has blood upon his clothes, and he is Next
it is shown that the tendered man bad' in his trunk a
due bill of the defendant and bad other valnable securi
ties. Then upon the trial the defendant, in answer to
this, offers to show that he ownedthe bedstead, the wadi
stand and carpet I bat would not be admissi ble.
Mr. Mann said there was ao analogy between the case
put by the judge and the one on trial. Here were par
ties who derived an become of $6,000, and therefore the
prisoner would not be benefited by her death. In regard
to the real estate, this might be said about the difficulty
between the parties. Mre. HIU had frequently said that
the house was for her daughter. but when she discovered
that her daughter, who was sickly; had
made a will in her husband's favor,
she thought if the daughter died first she (Mrs Hill) would
be left without a home, for Mr. Twiteioll would receive
it. This is whet led to tee interviews with Mr. Hender
son and Mr. Gilbert. andair Twitchell did propose to set
it all right by a deed of trust. In view of these facts the
defence believes that all the relations between these par
ties. while in that house, becomes very important
Mr. Hs gat in reply, complained that tir. Mann, under
pretence of arguing an objection, was wandering all over
hie case. In answer to the real estate difficulty it should be
renumbered that this prisoner remained quiet from July
until November, and made no effort to reatore the
title, and no evidence in regard to the furniture
can rebut that That he went to a lawyer
about the title, of course. could not be proven on evidence.
because it would be the declaration of the prisoner, and
therefore the statement was improper. The whole offer
ie to throw something into this jury box that had nothing
to dcr with it. Here he watt with a deed of this proparty.
by which he could bare turned Mrs. Lila
into the street at any moment; here he
was negotiating for alterations to this property to turn
them into stores; and what answer to all thials to geese
what occurred in 1866, two years ago? Here was a living
woman.a fraudulent deed,and posiebly proceedings pand
it) eor about to commence. against the prisoner, because
of this fraudulent deed.
Mr. Mann denied that there was any evidence In the
case that legalroceedings were about to be commenced
against this def endant because of that deed.
Judge Brewster announced that the Court was divided
in opinion, and the objection fell, and the evidence was
therefore admitted: — -. 6
William C. richulke, sworn—On May 29, 1866, I was in
a looking-gl bes store on Arch street (bill produced) ; that
Is my receipt; these goods were purchased at the store;
they were charged to Mrs, Twitchell; Mrs. Hill, Mr. and
?Are. Twitchell were present when t hey were selected;
(second bill produced); that was also receipted by me;
the goods were sent to Tenth and Pine.
Croesoxamined.—My recollection is, that Mrs. Hill was
present at every purchase except when some trilling
traretis were got;llirs.TwitchU directed them to be charged
to her; ebe did that the first time; Mrs. Hill was present
at the time, but she did not direct me (Mr. tiagert, called
the attention of the witness to the tact that the bills,
is ere In Mr. TwitchelPs name.)
Witnees.—Sbe told me to make out the bill to her
name, and these bills must be a mistake.'
Mre. Twitcht 11 paid the hill Mrs Hill was not present
when Mrs. Twitchell directed the bill to be made in her
name
The -bills were given in evidence. July 14, 1866, $240;
May 19,1866, $172 75; May 22,1886. $240.
Thomas' Steel sworn— , n April, - 1866, I was with Mr.
Clarke, Market street; [bill produced) that is my receipt;
can't recollect who purchased, but the bill wan made on
Mrs. 'lwttchell [for stove].
In regard to the offer made on Saturday to prove the
declaration of Mrs. Bill, that she designed the house
Tenth and Pine for her daughter, the Court announced Its
ruling. Judge Brewster said that it could not as a gene
ral rule be adu. itted. as it was impossible to tell bow far
the statement might be distorted by the time it reached
the witneneetand, but as in this case it might be argued
that the motive of the prisoner was to be found in the ef
fort to secure and retain poesesaien of the house, and this
could only be rebutted by proof of the declaration of Mrs.
Hill, he would therefore admit the testimony.
Judge Ludlow t aid be did not see his way clear to ad
mit the testimony of the deceased.
The Court teak a recess until three o'clock.
