. Value op a Brooklyn Farm Twenty Years Ago.—The following extract from ; the New York correspondent of the SoohariecSepuK/con, is interesting: ' One plesant day in the summer of 1836, a gentleman called at one of those quiet farm houses in olden Brooklyn, then occupying the site of the present palatial mansions on Brook lyn heights. lie asked to see the owner of the farm, was invited into the neat parlor, with green paper window curtains, and a bunch of asparagus tops in the old-fashoned fire place. The stranger made hot a short stay, but when he left he bore with him a signed and sealed contract for the sale of his farm at the extrav agant price of 880, 000. The farmer and his wife were crazy with joy ; the price given was beyond their wildest anticipations; and while they thus indulged in congratulations upon their good luck and dreams of happinea their unexpected wealth would bring, another visitor came—another gentleman from the big city across the river. He too, wanted to buy the farm, was told that another bad jnst purchased; inquired the price paid, and when told the am ount, remarked that it was worth twice that sum. and ho would readily pay the lucky pur chaser $30,000 for bis bargain. Disappoint ment # and vexation at such a loss turned the farmer's brain, and that night he died by his own hand. During our visit to Lowell we were shown through the Laboratory of our celebrated coun tryman, Db. J. C. Ayer. Scarcely could we have believed what is seen there without proof beyond disputing. They consume a barrel of solid Pills; about 00, 000 doses and 3 barrels of Cherry Pectoribl, 120, 000 doses per diem. To what an inoon coiveable amount of human suffering does this 'point! 170, 000 doses a day U Fifty million of doses per year.'.'!—What acres and thousands of acres «f sick beds does this spread before the imagination! And what sympathies and woe !—True, not all this is taken by the very sick, but alas, much of it is. This cherry Drop and this sugard Fill are to be the companion of pain and anguish sinking sorrow—the in heritance cur mother Eve bequeathed to the whole family uf man. Here tbe infant darling has l«en touched too early by tbe blight that witliers half our race. Its little lungs are .-iffet|Fed and only watching and waiting shall shall tell which way it breath shall turn. This red drop on its table is the tallisman on which its life shall bang. There the blossom of tbe world just bursting into womanhood, is strick en also. Affections most assiduous care skills not, she is still fading away. The wan mes senger comes nearer and nearer every week. This little medicine shall go there, their last perhaps their only hope. The strong man has planted in bis vitals, this same disease. This red drop by his side is helpinghira wrestle with the inexorable enemy ; the wife of his bosom and the cherubs of his heart are waiting in sick sorrow and fear lest the rod on which they lean in this world, be broken. O Doctor '. Spare no skill, nor cost, nor toil, to give the perishing sick the best that human art can give.— Galceslon, Texas, News. ggylt is a common observation thai there are more sufferers from debility, among Ameri cans, than can bo found among any other civili sed nation. The reason is obvious. Wo take too little exercise, and forget the wants of the Imdy in the absorbing pursuits of business. In all such cases, ordinary medicines can do litttle good. What is required is just such a tbnu: and invigorator as Dr. J. Hostetor has given to the world, is his Celebrated “Bitters.” The weak and nervous denizen of -the counting house, the exhausted toiler on the shop-board, and the prostrated student of tho midnight lamp, have found a wonderful regenerator iu the "Bitters," and prefer it to more pretentious, but less efficacious medicines. But it should not be forgotten that tbe agent which is so magical in its influence upon a frame which is merely debilitated, is equally powerful iu as sisting nature to expel the most terrible forms of disease.

Oct., IS, ’SO. jjgyThe Overland Mail of the 16th -ult.i reached St. Louis, Oct. 9th. The duel between Senator Broderick and Chief Justice Terry took place near San Francisco, on the morning of the 13th ult. Broderick fell at the first fire, having been pierced through the longs. He lingered till 9J o’clock on the morning of the 16th, when he died. The community was pro foundly agitated by the melancholy event.— Judge Terry escaped unhurt. Some of the San Francisco papers evince a disposition to moke it appear that Mr. Broderick was the victim of a conspiracy, but the most prominent ones assert that the duel was conducted in strict ac cordance with the code duello . Broderick's pistol went off before raised into line with his Antagonist. Terry's shot carried away part of the breast bone. Mr. Broderick suffered in tense agony from tbe time he was shot till he died. "When the mail left, two hours after his death, it had been announced that all the flags in tbe city would he displayed at half mast, and emblems of mourning wero beginning to appear in all parts of the city. This melancholy affair furnishes one more illustration of the insufficiency of this brutal custom to redeem wounded honor. Terry the victor is ill every sense of the word a murderer, and in any place else hut among those, who deem it right to deal in the bodies and souls of their fellow-men, would be punished as such. If Buchanan applies the same rule to Califor nia Which he followed in regard to Kansas, Terry is sure of a fat appointment. Bgf We desire to call attention to tho pro ceedings of the Festival at the Mansfield Semi nary, on Thursday last, to be found in another column. The people of Mansfield deserve great credit for the perseverance, industry and pub lic spirit made so manifest in the great work of building up this institution. In spite of the great fire which brazed the first Seminary to the ground ; in spite of financial embarrassments which would have discouraged almost any body of men under like circumstances, tbe Trustees hare reared a building much larger and much more beautiful in appearance than the first ed ifice. It is but justice to Mr. Elliott tho Arch itect to say, that to his indomitable perseverance and skill, aided and encouraged by the friends of education in and around Mansfield, tbe coun ty owes tho credit of this institution. By reference to Mr. Elliott's speech it will be seen, that, in order to havo the school open at the time specified—Nov. 23d, next—imme diate aid is needed to complete the work. We ask tbe friends of education, those who are able without embarrassment to themselves to do so, to come at once to the aid of tbe trustees with their money. Higher considerations than the hope of pecuniary gain hard induced many of the best citizens in our connty to invest a share of their wealth in tbe enterprise; and tbe same considerations will, we trust, induce many more. A little from every man in the country who could spare it without feeling it, would put the institution beyond all embarrassment. Now is the time for action in its behalf. Tho editor of tho Bradford Herald may be a very good Mulatto democrat; we think ho is. Ho may be a self-sacrificing patriot, a profound scholar, and a flower of genius ; to question his title to either oralltheso appellations might be unkind if not He may be the em boaiment'of the Christian virtues and gentle manly courtesy ; but to admit that calls for a more liberal exercise of charity than wo can muster. When we volunteered some trifling criticisms upon his metaphysics and rhetoric two weeks ago, it was with some rather vague expecta tions that we-were earning his respectful con sideration, not to say, gratitude. That was out mistake. He neither respects our kindness nor heeds our criticism. Not only this ; ho grows vindictive and dev ilish as he launches a half column of Chase ed rhetoric at tho Agitator, bristling all over with sarcasm and Juvenalinn satire. And not content with this, he declares that he is aware of our being sensitive to a fault; and knowing that, that he deliberately set himself at work to find a weak spot, and having found, to probe it with the two edged sword of bis sarcasm. Our friend must excuse us if we cannot commend such flagrant ingratitude. We thought to do him good ; he would repay us with a stab un der the fifth rib of our self-esteem 1 In our pedagogic days we remember to have spanked a young gentleman to improve his manners ; he chose to misinterpret our motives, and prob ably bears malice toward us even to this day. “Republics is ungrateful!” There must be martyrs. . “How, from a careful and lucid explanation ‘of our article,” says ouk Bradford friend, “the Agitator sees fit to eulogize with school ‘boy eloquence.” Eulogize! ‘Nary once,’o George, did we e ulogize ! Perhaps you intend ed to say ‘declaim.' It is a better word, Oh rhetorician of the Bradford Herald ! Our friend is a physician. The editor of the Agitator is either “insane or crazy,” says he. This is equivalent to saying of out friend, “he is either silly or foolish.” He makes a prog nosis of our case, thus: “His disease will not ‘last always, nor will his symptoms always car ‘ry his mind into a malady.”(!) We are glad to be assured of a speedy recovery; -it is a new discovery in diagnostics that “symptoms” do not always carry people into “maladies.” Wo agree with Dr. Chase that “symptoms” do not degenerate into disease. Doctor Chase has won his degree.

CONDITION OF THE BUILDING, ETC, Last Thursday we. attended the Festival At the Mansfield Classical Seminary, of jvhich due notice had been given in the coliimjis of the county papers. A cold blustering wind marred in some degree the beauty of thej day, and doubtless prevented many, from attending.—■ Quite a large number of citizens were present, however, and we noticed gentlemen frpm nearly all parts of the county. We are glad to note this fact, as it show* that the institution is con sidered a county institution, and we think every citizen in every part of the county, ought to re gard it with a just pride. On the occasion re ferred to about one thousand persona were present. ' The exercises of the' day were v i interesting. One of the large hall Seminary was fitted up, in which th< assembled. The Tioga Brass Band enlivening music, and at one o’clock mittee announced J,. R. Wilson, Es President of the day. Mr. Wilson sta the object of the Festival. Prayer offered by Rev. R. L. Stillwell. , The President introduced S, B, Ell the architect of the building, and asl give a description of the building, a meat of its financial condition &c. Mr. Elliott responded as follows Ur. President, Ladies and GentUnifin ; Ido not see why I should be called upon to make the first speech in this Seminary. There will be a great many speeches made hi course of time, all of which, no don more interesting if not more instrm mine. I have never had the adv; Seminaries, only ,'to help erect theji that I sometimes that I have t well schooled, and expect sometime t< But no matter for that. I have been on by the President to give, as the n description of this edifice. I will en comply, os briefly as possible, with th: and then .add something by .way of (. statement for the Building Committal tees. The extreme length of the building is one hundred and tiTry-cmc feet, and its extreme width fifty-three feet. The central portioi which we are now in, is fifty-one feet square; and as you see, four full stories in height, besides the attic. The wings are each fifty feet long and forty seven feet wide, and three stories in height, be sides the basement and attic. Many ore decei ved in regard to its-inagnitude; and some go so far as to ask if it is asilarge as the fo rraer build ing ; and when I tell them it is fifty-one feet longer and contains in eacli story sixteen hun dred superficial feet more floor they will scarce ly credit it. Yet this is the case. It is much larger and more commodious that the edifice which formerly occupied the site upon which this now stands. You can judge fo; 1 yourselves something as to its external appearance, yet can form no Just conception until this central part is roofed, the observatory put ,bp, and the verandas completed. Those uppermost timbers which you can see there, are fifty feet from the ground, and on them is to rest the Observatory, supported by iron columns, which is to extend upward thirty feet, making a total elevation of eighty feet from the ground, the highest acces sible point, I have no doubt,'on any building in northern Pa. When this is completed, then and then only can j-ou form a correct idea of its appearance nnd effect; and jyou will no doubt have the opportunity ere loiig of judging of its good or ill qualities. Now a few word* in regard to it f internal ar rangements. We will commence with the first floor and in the North wing/ Hern upon enter ing the front door you will find a krge entrance hall, or vestibule, containing the stairs, which are broad and easy to ascend. Opening out of this hall you will find two lar;e recitation rooms, connected by folding doors. These rooms are for the classes in the natural sciences, as you will see a room adjoining them which ia fire-proof, and is designed for a ct/emical labra tory. These two recitation rooms can be made into one by simply folding back tfeo doors, thus giving accommodations to three hun dred persons comfortably- a very necessary and convenient arrangement when leJUires-aro de livered or experiments tried before the class.— The remaining rooms in that wing are the Trustee’s offices, Beading room and Library room adjoining it. liv the South wing on the firs; floor there is an entrance hall the same as in t ic north wing, while the remainder is devoted tc the residence of the janitor. This eentrat por .von which we are now in is to be divided into four rooms, a parlor, dining room and two recitation rooms, all of them of grand proportion ?. In the sec ond story of the building yot will find the north wing devoted to Professors and Student's I rooms; the south wing to a recitation room, : the Principal's and Preceptress’ : ooms; while in l the centre, directly above is the jhapel, all con j nected by high and well lighted corridors. The chapel is an unusually largo ant fine room, be ing forty-eight by forty-nine feet in the clear, and of suitable height, and well ventilated.— The students’ rooms are also very large, being twelve by sixteen feet each, ijbus containing over twice the number of superficial feet of floor in each room that the students’ rooms in the old Seminary did. The Entire third and fourth storiesaredevoted to students’ and teach ers’ rooms, while in the attic {there are large, lofty rooms appropriated to music, societies, etc. Ample provisions are made for affording perfect ventilation for each room, thus securing to the occupants that so much needed yet willfully deprived article, pure air. As to the stability and permanency of the building there can be but little doubt, as it has now stood unroofed through two winters, and not a crack can be discerned in its walls. There has likewise been every possible precaution ta ken to render it safe from fire. Thus much, ladies and gentlemen, by way of a description of the building,: and I now ask your indulgence while I address you as a mem ber of the board of Trustees, ipd as Chairman of the Building Committee. (A little over a year ago the present Building Committee and Treasurer wejre appointed, whdn they found the walls of the first story nearly completed, and everything at loose ends around the premises. They immediately set to workios vigorously as the nature of the case would permit, and com pleted the first, ended the entire second and commenced on the third story before cold weath er set in and suspended operations. Yet the Committee and Treasurer did not cease their OttJ AGITATOR; labors, and.by the time warm -weather came ! around were again r#ady to commence opera tion* more vigorously.- than -ever, and you can look around you and see the results of that la-J, bo'r. You see the walls of the wings completed 1 and the roof on, while this centre and the two , lowers on the south are within a very few days I of completion',’ This’ wohldbave been long her", fore this had we not by an unforseen circum stance been compelled to manufacture a few thousand brick. The brick are now being burned, and but a few days will elapse before the entire wall will be completed and tbo roof on. You also see the floors all laid in the north and a large portion in the south wings, while the first and second stories of the north wing are nearly ready to plaster. Besides this, we have all the flooring necessary on hand and dressed. All the doors, door frames and cas ings, all the window, casings, and ,all tbc win dows for the rear and for the first story, in the front and ends, in fact all the joiner work ready to put up as soon as the building is roofed.— And not only have we these things, hut the nails, lime, and all the necessary lumber, inclu ding lath, are on hand and in readiness. Thus you see the work is in as forward a state as cir cumstances will permit. And yet you may wonder and ask, can we open school by the 23d of Nov. next? I answer we shall. True, we may not complete the entire edifice by that time', and I presume we shall not, yet had wo suffi cient means at command, .it could be done, but we shall complete enough to open the school by that time ; that is to say, we shall finish all the public halls, lecture and recitation rooms, offi ces, reading room, chapel, and in short, nearly all unless it be the Janitor’s residence and the student’s rooms, which, os we do not propose to have a big hoarding house of it (a subject which X shall refer to hereafter) will be all that will be absolutely necessary for the Fall and Winter terms, and by the expiration of which time we hope to have the entire edifice completed. So far, ladies and gentlemen, as'we have promised we shall 'perform. You need have no hesitancy on that score. The present Building Commit tee may not live to see the day, yet there are other willing hearts and ready hands who doubt less will. Prepare then to come or send to school in this Seminary by the 23dof November next. tried and Is of the : audience tiscourscd the Com q., as the ed briefly was then liott.

You will rcmcmbeif no doubt that we held a meeting in August oflast year, on the “Island*' down yonder by the river side, to take into con sideration whether we should abandon the en terprize, give up all we had done, bury all our long cherished hopes and aspirations, or make still another effort to complete the building, or at least to pledge enough to put up the walls and roof it, and thus protect it so that in time it would be completed. These, then were our thoughts —to save what we had already expend ed, though we could not see forward clearly to the day of its completion. To-day our thoughts are in a'different channel; here wc sec com plete, and put into operation what we have al ready saved. "Well, as you all know, wc made an estimate of the amount required to put up the walls and roof the |building f which 'was §3OOO, and we subscribed it; and you can rea sonably ask at our hands to relate what we have done with it * When the present Treasurer, P. 31. Clark,' and the Building Committee were appointed, we found the Seminary in debt a|>out sSooo.—' This was a heavy load and pur efforts had to be extended both in a direction to complete the building and pay off this indebtedness. Two of the Insurance Companies had refused to pay, and one of them has since entirely failed I "un derstand. Thus we were deprived of $1)000 which we bad reasonable grounds to expect, and affairs certainly did not look very encour aging. But we had some more subscriptions besides those obtained on the day mentioned, and used every endeavor, and with some suc cess to increase them. We also obtained a small portion-of the insurance from one of the Companies—only one-half of what it should have paid. But with what means we had at our command we have paid out daring the last year $3OOO for labor, and $l5OO for materials, making a total expenditure on the building of $4500. So far as regards our promise last year, although we have not in one respeut qaite ful filled it, lacking only to roof the remainder of the building, we have done much more than we promised to do. Besides doing what we have on the building, we have managed to pay off $3700 indebtedness! which has relieved us materially, and have reason to hope soon to see it reduced to within two thousand dollars. — Mark you, I do not will be done, but tliTrt we have reasons for thinking so. You nsk how this has been accomplished. That is more than I should undertake to tell you in ono speech.— It has taken a long time, and there has Ixen a world of labor in it. But I will assure you of one thing, and that of the first importance, that no man has been wronged. If you wish to ex amine for yourself, our books are open to your inspection. In these you will find all the busi ness transactions of the past year, no man has paid a farthing to this institution without hav ing been duly credited for it, And there is an other thing of which' I can assure you, which will no doubt be gratifying, and that is, that not one dollar’s indebtedness has been incurred during this time which the Treasurer does not stand willing and ready to pay. Here, then, 1 have given you briefly, a state ment of our financial condition. But you must not be too much elated. True, we stand better than at any other time since the great fire of April 22d, 1857, but there are things before ub which must be met. This indebtedness must be paid and tbe building completed, and the whole matter rests with you, the people. Wo have not got the funds at present tu do it with. It is your Seminary and your enterprizc. The Trustees and officers are your servants only, and do but your bidding. For five successive .years you have-toiled, I will not say successful ly, for dire misfortunes have befallen us, to build up this Institution. You have given your money, your talenls, and your time. You have seen an edifice stand where this now stands, and seen it filled with eager, earnest students. You have seen that building burned to the ground ; and you have aeon these walls reared, and I know you will not abandon it. I believe you will again give liberally to complete it; — should you not you would be recreant to your pledges, recreant to your.own interests and the interests of others, and recreant to hu manity. Tbe completion and success of this enterprise rests with you, alone. When shall it be done ? A few words in regard to boarding, within these walls, and I will weary your patience no longer. As I remarked, the Trustees have abandoned the system of hoarding within the building ns a Seminary enterprise. This con- elusion bas not-been arrived at withoutrimature reflection, and thorough investigation ; itor have the Trustees depended upon their owh judg ement alone, but endeavored to get tho;opinions of those best acquainted with such matte'rs.— ThereforeJ-wrotta circular letter to various in dividuals, among whom were Hon. H. C. Hick qk, Statef Superintendent ofTCorotnon Schools of this State, Prof. Hickok of Union College, and Rev. T. K. Beecher of Elmira, Co. Supt. of Common Schools, and strange to say they each and all were opposed to boarding in the building, and gave similar reasons for that opin ion'. These I have with me, but will read butane, as they are about all alike. It is from Rev; T. K. Beecher;- EmußA. S’. Y., Juno IS, 1559. Fear Sir: Arman of very unusual gifts is able to preside over a large family of students intone institu tion and make them seem and feel like at family—bo the father. Cut | 1. Such men are very uncommon and 2. Tbc tax upon the strength, is so great—that a good man will tire ok down under it. If then the household ceases to be family like, and becomes merely a big boardinghouse, in which young folks arc fed and lodged;—a worse place for young folks cannot be invented. Cold rules do not work weit—regulating young people. Good order must be secured in a boarding scbo'oi—and it is usualiy gnined nt the expense of the heart and of truth. De ception ns to hours, meals, cooking in rooms, noctur nal strolls aud scrapes is almost certain to characterize a body of young folk gathered together and governed by rules. But in small families who keep orderly houses, reg ularity is secured without the pressure of authority and rules. Students feel the influence of the family. Again. The community will lore the Academy all tlie more, if the students are scattered through the village like the fibrous roots that nourish a tree. But if students keep together clan-like, there is sure to spring up enmity between the “townies” and the ‘•boys.” Other strong.cohflidcratlons I might urge. But this is thp sum. If yon can get a roan like Dr. Arnold of Rugby, England—a man so strong- that bo hi? student family with a filial awe—then'tis best to” lodge the students together under one roof—one family. But, fur ordinary men, the separation of. students and quartering them round the village, is positively necessary in my judgment. I write briefly because I am in great haste having ■arrears of work pressing npon me, owing to an ab sence of ten day> jufcOfrded. Yours respectfully. But therfc existed a difficulty in entirely doing away with boarding within the Institution.— Many would come whose physical condition was unsuited to travel at all times to and from their boarding places, and also there are parents who prefer to hare their children under the constant eye and'control of the faculty. To obviate all the difficulties, the Trustees have made provis ions whereby-the Janitor who will reside in the building and have the caro of it when it is com pleted, can take at his own private tabic, where they will bo under the “family influence*' and where the faculty will be, all such us may pre fer boarding within the building, thus leaving every student to board where' he may please. By this system we hope to avoid the evils spo ken of by Mr. Beecher, that is an “official super vision” and a “governing by as they will feel the same influences ami those only they would in a. well regulated family. M e trust tills arrangement will meet with universal ap proval. ,1 am now done. I may hare said much that has been uninteresting, yet if I judge you by myself, or by mfr own feelings anything con cerning the Mansfield Seminary Is of great in terest. At the conclusion of Mr, Elliott's speech, the President introduced Kev. K. P. Jervis of El mira, as the speaker ,of the day. Mr. Jervis is a fluent speaker. His speech was intended to show the advantages of an institution of.learn ing like the Mansfield Classical Seminary to ; every intelligent community. He handled his subject very well, bufc wc think be took unnec essary pains to travel out of his latitude in or der to give the audience his notions on certain subjects entirely unconnected with the subject-, matter in hand. His mustache and jewelry makes him exceedingly numerical looking—as j much so as any railroad conductor in the coun-' try. Wc don’t wish to be understood as find-1 ing fault with his speech or his tastes, but as ho is quite a young man, be may be able to take a friendly hint from these humble opin ions. In so fir as- Mr. Jorvie confined himself i to the subject of the educational advantages of o Seminary, his speech was an able one, and dis played-keen appreciation and some considera ble research- It was well received by the au- | dience. At 3 o’clock the audience adjourned to an adjoining room in the Seminary when the la dies of Mansfield had laid a soroptnous and splendjd dinner. After dinner the audience re turned to tbe hall. Some important business was then transacted and the meeting adjourned. PKOM THE PE U PEE. For the Agitator.
