Tho honors ,% wbich have been bestowed upon agriculturists | are very oul. When Home still scooted trade os f unworthy of her citizens, she placed the reins of | Stale in the hands of her Cincinnatus, yet warm -Sj from the handles of the plow. The idea of Borne I has come down to these days to find itself re | versed. Young men now escape at the earliest | moment from the healthful hills of their paternal | form, to herd iu smoky cities, to tend shops, to | study law, to growTreak and miserable. ' $ The idea is of comparatively recent birth, that ■ i any preparation is needed to prepare a man to cultirate the soil. Thews and sinews have ap § peared to bo all that was required. “Agncal | tural Chemistry” is a quite new phrase. The I object of agricultore is to develop from the soil | as large a quantity as possible of useful vegeta .•§ bio products, or, indirectly, of annual products. | To do this, it seems at length to be a settled con -5 - viction of men that tho chemical relations of the | various substances which are concerned in agri ; cultural production should bo understood. To 1 realize the object of ogriculture.as above stated, jj it is not enough that a man has all the physical r | force necessary to plant, hoe,, weed, or drive his ' 5 team afield: he must be able to select tho soil | best adapted for this or that particular crop. To | this end, he needs to understand the constituent | - elements of tho plant ho wonld cultivate; he . j should also bo able to determine by a critical v / examination of soils, which will best supply that peculiar element or ingredient which distinguish es tho plant he would commit to its care. As a natural result of the conviction that this knowl edge is necessary to the farmer, within a few years Farm Schools have began to spring up in j the free States. The very earliest effort of this 1 kind was made iu France in 1765. Valuable schools of this kind, employing the very best • talent among the chemists of Europe, have for * / tfae last sixty years flourished in France, Bwit xerland, the German States, aod England, where -! land is not so plenty os here, and'where the j greatest economy is needed to secure'from tho . * all-giving earth tho bread upon which the life of .'’ fif man teaes. { * In tbia country, Michigan has the honor of . S being tho first Stale that established and put in ; . i operation a Farm School. It is situated near | Lansiog. Iu May of lost year, in the presence - | of Stale officers and. citizens its benevolent g scheme was duly inaugurated. Its faculty con jl *iats of a President, Jos. R. Williams, and a ]} board of sir professors, whose province covers - 1 *! tho mathematics, chemistry, physiology, ento *. mology, natural science, literature and farm' | economy and horticulture. The Btato of New- York is aiding individual enterprise in establishing a school of this kind on a grand and beautiful spot in the town of ■» Ovid in Seneca county. The placid lake of the .. same name with the county spreads its mirror in fnll view of the farm, and healthful breezes from a country rich in every thing that can make * true, bold, hardy free men always visit this a chosen : spots* •■■s.. " | The Farm School of Ohio, a tract of land | 1170 acres, near Lancaster in Fairfield couaty, I wUl«oon be in operation wetrnst. I Massachusetts has her Farm School at West •vjj borough. , H Bat we only designed in the outset to coll k j,4 attention to our Pennsylvania Farm School, and t!''| have been betrayed unwittingly into the above. We have recently seen a letter from Prof. War :j.£ iog of theabovc institution. We learn that cit ! ■§ ixens of Clinton county have recently subscribed .'•jj $1,135 to the fund for the knantainanee of this ni> agricultural college, and tho county has pledged ! & $1000; Huntingdon has pledged $lOOO and jj paid two thirds; Centro has pledged $2OOO, and the letter, says that Bellefonte and Harris town ships will make that, up alone. It will bore tnembered that the Directors of oar Coupty -.-ji Board sent on $5OO in October and we believe 9 j are ready and iolend to do more. It will be re ;‘|f membered. that Qen. James Irrin gave the ' school 200 acres or land worth $6O per acre, to whlclrtfce Centre county when the echool was established added $lO,OOO by snb -.4 scriptiou. Mr. Elliott Cresson of Philadelphia, J . left to tho, school a legacy of $5OOO, and the * Legislature of last year, appropriated (accord, iug to our recollection) $50,000, half of which * ; is dependent upon the raising of a like sum by individual subscription. All this is good. We ... . are. still more pleased that we arc able to say that contributions of the finest trees, fruit and ornamental* are making to tho school from all parts of ths State, and here will be a grand arboretum where the whole Slate may in Lime procure slips of fruit trees that will mako . Pennsylvania one of Gift finest frnlt growing Stales in the Union. Court of Common Paras—Judge* w. B. M'- Clure—Feb. 24,1858.—At nine o’clock, the fore man of jury out all sight, on case of Boyle vs,: Morrison & Co., announced that they could agree on no verdict. Jury was dismissed. Pleading then* began in Lhc similar case af Sweeny company, to recover same damages for the same offense, to «H; violation 'of contract., Argument closed and jury retired before noon. Verdict returned at half-past four, P. M., in favor of plaintiff. In the afternoon session, witnesses were ex amined in the cose of Kirkpatriek & Co., of Phil adelphia, vs. W. 11. Sutton, Esqv; suit to recover value of a keg of syrup alleged to hare been sold and delivered to defendant in August,. 1853. Prosecuting attorney, Cochran; for defence, WinganL The “syropcase” Was the suQect of business through most of the afternoon, and the occasion of much eloqaenbspecch by the attor neys. Jury, retired at half-past four o’clock, when- itatnae of E. A. Daria vs. the Directors of the Connty Poor House was presented. Tbos. Howard, Esq., prosecuting attorney, made (be followiag general statement: In October, 1857, a very poor man, named Hartwell, was taken suddenly sick in Elizabeth, too siek to be re moved to the poor house; he was provided with medical and other necessary attendance, at pri vate expense. Suit.is to lay this expense on the Directors of the -Poor, according to Act of As sembly of 1856. Mr. Woods represented the defence. Thursday, Ftb. 25th. —Jury returned a verdict in favor of E. A. Davis, plaintiff against Direct ors of Connty PoofcHouse. - A suit brought by James Donaldson against - William Wdlker, for debt, engaged tbo attention of the court from 10 A M-, till SP. M. The testimony amounted to about this: William Walker was in debt to Donaldson; gave him a note of SGO against Hoffman, for colleotion, al- Mtn'a percentage for- the service. Tfoff. man could not pay,, so Donaldson accepts s netr / nolo which incladed.the intorest already due. Mr. John H. Hampton, counsel for defendant, argued that this bargaining with Walker’s paper, and holding of the new note, received in his own name,,was.upon his own responsibility, until plaintiff could prove a guarantee by Wm. Wdlker for the payment of that note. Verdict was re turned for defendant. The only action of the day. ' Mars asd Music.—Dr. H. D. Hunt, the cel ebrated showman, dropped in upon last evening to announce in person his arrival, with his famous Vaudeville troupe. Tho Doctor has a habit 'of "putting through” whatever he under takes to do; and he has contracted to fill Ma sonic Hall for a few eveniogs, and to give un bounded satisfaction to those who attend. Amongst; the Doctor’s company of twenty talent ed performers are his fire daughters—the young est seven’ years of age and the eldest eighteen. These children have become famous on account of their'musical genius and precocity, having the natural genius which renders everything musical with which they come in contact. The performance will consist of Songs, Dances, Duetts, Quartettes, Operas, Vaudevilles end de lineations in Yankee, Irish and Chinese charac ters, accompanied by tho instrumental perform ances of the children. Wo advise our readers to see for themselves. Thb Butler American of Wednesday says: Strange noises in the air, resembling ihnitder, havo been heard at intervals, daring the last ten days, In various ports of this county. Id some •places; it Ir alleged, fiery substances have been eeen fiyiog witb great Telocity, and the concuss ion was so great os to shake the earth quite per ceptibly; »- « • ~ Thb Washington (Pa.) Commomcedltk- says that a feWevenings Since the inhabitants of the Northern part of our Connty were startled by the rolling of. apparent distant thunder, which in some places was so violent as to sensibly shake the houses. At Paris a large metoric ball passed over the village through tho heavens and explo ded. .-The same display of fire balls was witness ed at WellsviUe across the Ohio, abont the same time,, accompanied with loud explosions, and a sensible shaking of the'earth. Many who did no J; M e tho meteoric balls thought they were ex periencing the reverberations of an earthquake. a V or,tr i »f yesterday, ea y, : * n * r lio Usae of our firat ediUon, UiU aft« nooll h f,«“lt “t A. 11.

Mj object in alluding to the foregoing is to state to the public the facts of the case: There is now pendiog before his Honor Judge McClure, a proceeding wherein the ques tion is to be decided whether Samael P. Collins or Henrj Murphy shall be permitted to take a seat in the School Board of the First Ward of the city of Pittsburgh. In the meantime, until said decision is made, there can be no legal quorum to do business unless Messrs. Evans and Miller participate, as' it requires four School Directors to constitute a quorum. It appears that in the absence of these gen tlemen tho Board resolved that they would hold two regular meetings every month, of which Messrs. Miller and Evans had no notice. Con fiding in their right to retain their seats if they continued to attend to their duties and did not absent themselves from more than one regular meeting in succession—which regular meetings were monthly heretofore—they were taken by surprise. Under all the circumstances the action of the Board is illegal. This explanation is due to Messrs. Miller and Evans whose characters as citizens are honora ble and respectable. Justice. CobceHt.—lndeed, we think that Mr. De Ham deserves some substantial token of the thanks of this whole community for the treat which ho gave them last evening. We have been at concerts where performers came heralded from afar, and heard no singing equal to Miss De Ham's, last evening, and no performance on the piano that was better than, that of Miss Townsend, Miss Irwin or Mias Blume. Tho medley by all the little people was worthy of the rapturous ap plause and encore which greeted it; and every performer for the evening did well. 1 The audience was the most numerous and bril liant that we ever saw in Lafayette Hall, with perhaps one exception, and every one said to Mr. De Ham, what we aay—< "Welt done." Ho needs no better certificate of his success as a teacher than he received last night. Da. Tysq.—The Evening Reporter annihilated Rev. D. A. Tyng the next morning after his lec ture at Excelsior Hall. It says: “He is quite unaware that somewhere con tiguous to actual man, over the son!, attainable by hands of man, there is unrealized Poetry and Philosophy, untouched material of human life, which will yet enter into man and redeem expe rience to Truth. The soul ignores history os a misrepresentatixe of her; she points to all classio and romantio lives of men as palpable failures.” Now that is our opinion, exactly. Host. .James Stewabt died at his residence in Mansfield, Ohio, on Thursday last. He had been ill for two weeks previous and confined to his house, bat until the night preceding his death no apprehensions of the final result were enter tained by himself or others. He died in the primooflife, and in thefull maturity ofail his phys ical and mental powers. Judge Stewart was born in 1802, in Cbanceford Township, York county, Pa. He was of Scoteh and Irish descent, bis grand parents haviog removed to America about thejime of tho revolutionary war. His Name. —The real name of the colored man who attempted to take the life of Louisa Williams, on Monday evening, is Perry Hart man. He was raised in York, Pa., and resided there until about three years ago, when be de liberately shot bis sister-in-law, causing her death In a few days afterwards. He was arrest ed at the time of the occurrence, but haviDg been released on bail, previous to her death, fled and has since passed under the name of Wilkin son. Salks or Stocks. —The following Slocks were sold last evening at the Merchant's Exchaoge by Messrs. Austin Loomis &Co.: 10 shares Bank of Pittsburgh -.555,75 C 5 “ Mechanics’ Bank .. 52,00 8 “ Allegheny Bank 23,62$ The sale of the Yougbiogbeny Navigation Co. Slock was postponed till Thursday next. Attempt at Suicide. —Tho old woman named Winterbura, who tried to commit murder while insane one day this week, endeavored yesterday to commit suicide in jail by thrusting the ahafl of a pair of scissors in her throat. What is such person in jail for? Why do not the proper au thorities see to it that crazy people are put" in the Asylum for Iho Insane? The jail is a place to cause uot to cure insanity. Fbozeh.—A brakesmao, named John Myers, bn the freight train of the Pennsylvania Rail road, was found at his post on Tuesday last, be tween Philadelphia and Parksbarg, so badly Xrozea.as to.be perfectly insensible—his bonds frosca Asrio the iron brake, uml his body per fectly immovable. He was taken off, and with proper care was yesterday morning able to speak. —JJoUidayxburg Standard. Kennedy’s Bark Note and Commercial Re view for March, is jast issued and laid on our desk.

In oar last letter wo considered briefly the Anato my of the Lang* and it w&a shown that the use of the Inhaling Tube and other measures for keeping them fully inflated, ii literally .of vital importance both in disease and health. We shall now consider the functions or uses of the Langs, in view of which tho necessity of folly de veloping them, and of keeping them so, will be more strikingly apparent. The office or function of the lungs is togire to the tyttem itt pou*r of action. The manner in which they do thu may be imporfcctly explained as follows: The lining membrane of the innumerable air cells into which the longs are divided presents an aggre gate jariaco of many square feet. Upon this surface is thrown the used blood exhausted of oxygen and darkly pnrpled with carbon and other effote matter which it brings from all parts of onr bodies through the veins, and here wo inhale the air upon it, which receives its carbon and effete matter in tbo form of vapor, and at the same time gives a fresh snpply of oxygen when it enters the arteries and in » bright red current courses to every part of the system, bear ing to every tlssno the very elements of life and action. .Thus do the Langs give energy to the system by effecting two results with every breath we draw, vis: tboy gin to the blood from the air inhaled a snpply of oxygen which is the great vitalizing principle— while at the same moment they talc from tho blood tho imparities and worn ont matter of tho system, which escapes in the exhaled breath. 'Tbat>tho longs are the organs of physical power is more abundantly shown la tho fact that tho strength of on animal or person is always in proportion to the extent of this respiratory surface—ln other words the power of action Is os tbo also of tho lungs. Tho strongest persons are always thoso witb the most healthy action and well developed lungs—the man with a fall round chest and active langs has tho most perfect muscular development, and is known at a glance as a strong man, while the feebleness of one who has a thin chest, stooping shoulders and small muscles is equally obvious. a* - Drs.
