Washington early endeav ored to establish a national society. By letter and in message to Congress he urged the importance and utility of such a society. In his annual speeth to the Houses ef Congress, as early as 17U0, he said, "it will not be doubted with refer ence to either individual or national wel fare that agriculture is of primary impor tance." Iu proportion as nations ad vance in population and other cireum ces of maturity this truth becomes more apparent and "renders the cultivation of the soil more and more an object of pub lic patronage. Among the means which have been employed to this end none have been attended with greater success than the establishment of boards com posed of tho proper characters cr wcd with collecting and diffusing information end enabled by premiums and small pe cuniary aids to encourage and assist a spirit of discovery and improvement. Experience has shown that they are very cheap instruments of vast national benefits. Washington 'did not live to see his idol realized, though the society of 1810, of which I have spoken, secmecd at the time tho budding of his hopes, but tho war of 1812 so overshadowed every other subject that it withered and died after an existence of three years. Washington seemed to foresee , that great difficulties would beset and much time elapse in consummating his cherished st-hcme,and his prophetic mind pointed out just snch societies as ours the mean by which greater national at tainments would finally be reached, for in a letter to a friend he said. It will be aomo time, I fear, before an agricultaral society, with congressional aid, will be established in this country." Wc must walk before we can run. Smaller societies must prepare the way for greater, but, with th lights bctbr-j as, I hope we shall not be so slow in matur ing ts older nations have Veon." In 1840J Soloa Robinson and some other gcntfo-T men interested in agriculture, called a. convention which met at Washington and organized what they called "the Unttttf States Society," and made stren uous Vflorts to obtain the mithon dona tion Uh which to found an agricultaral tnstituN and farm. but. failinir in this. noih Vwas done.

A life membership in this society costs ten dol lars, and coiintv and State societies can make one of their own officers, ex-officio a member upon the payment of this sum and receive nil the publications of the so ciety and an.annual distribution of seeds and cuttings. Our society proposes to 'unite itself with this society and avail it self of these advantages. In 18(11 a Department of Agriculture was created by Congress, with officers consisting of Commissioner. Superin tendent of Gardens, Superintendent of .experimental rami, .hutomologist, Chemist and Statistician. The vast amount of good already realized from una csiaoiisiunciii is ueyonu compula tion. Millions of packages of seeds and small fruits have been gratuitously dis tributed through every part of our land. The principal diseases to which our stock are subject have been examined into by compeleut men and tho causes and rem edies given to the public. Insects inju rious to vegetation have been described and all known remedies given, and im proved methods of cultivation explained. The whole world has been made tribu tary to this department for information, seeds and plants. All foreign consuls are required to collect seeds and plants of known or probable value, and in the Capital ot our nation thoy arotned, and if found suited to our soil and climate arc scattered broad cast -over our land, Also from everv Dart of our own laml.

JI. leciea iiiiormation, seeds and plants to be again uistriouteu to others, lispecially are all agricultural societies and farment, clubs deired to communicate with this department, contribute if possible to its utility and partake of its benefits. Our society proposes to 1ms registered in this department and receive the bound vol umes of the transactions, which are of immense value to farmers, ami also seeds anu liiantM ior uisiriuuuoii. jseariv or quite all of the extensively advertised ii or way, Swedish, and suqirise oat and new and valuable wheats, for which far mers have paid such extravagant prices of oats, have come from this department it is very raroiy that any ot these new varitiefc have been the exclusive proper ty of any one man, but enterprising men forsceing a demand, as rapidly as posiblo accumulated seed, and then by skillful advertisciug accumulated for tunes, after selling to thousands just such seeds as they themselves had secur ed from the samo source but failed to propagate through carelessness or indif ference, ilut 1 believe, 1 am sure, that if these seeds aae received by this socie ty, and then by the officers placed in the hands ot men who we know will curciul ly test them, great good will result. The transaction of oar ewn State soci ety, and especially of onr Horticulture society shonld be secured and faithfully- preserved, in tbe.selection and propaga tion of fruit trees, too much care cannot be exercised, and the accumulated expe rience of oarJost fruit raisers is here presented, and should be at the command ot every tarmer. Haifa lifetime may be spent in care fully Bartering andgrowiug an orchard, which will finally prove almost worth less, when if other varieties, better suit ed toour soil and climate, hail been sub stituted, an abundant harvest of lusciou fruit,. would have rewarded the owner. To enable the farmer to do this is apart transactions in which the detailed cxpe- Iff "tBilw1ii.i. ncHce oi successiui cxiuoitors is record ed, how the soil was prepared, what kind oi seed used and how much and the method of cultivation; also of experi ments in feeding and breeding stock. Too much attention can not be bestowed uponnhis subject, taf there is very much to bi learned.

Historic doubt that peculiar disease of over done ucuteuess, has attacked even him. A writer in the February number oi uarpcrs jioniiny nas examineu wun this powerful microscope the claims of Mr. Columbus to the honor of having discovered the Western Hemisphere, and of course, finds them unsupported. The island of Antilia, now Cuba, was known, says this sapient gentleman, years before Columbus was bom. To be sure no one had ever visited it, and then returned to Europe to give authentic information. But was "there not a tradition that when the followers of " God and the prophet" ravaged Spain in the ciglit century a pi ous archbishop. and his pious flock, like another .-Eneas, about to found Borne, fled from tlontyiaircd.,000 miles, in what is kfwJiMsiaafnasfeg-out," and settled- faBJBMiiaMwliwf Antil- 1 r4i TAirk r"1. iura; ""rTFb .

Seeing that the African, as represented on the Eg-ttan monuments, has varied very little in at least sixty centuries, there "is room for very grave "historic doubts" as to the soundness of this kind of reasoning.

Faraway in the cast we see the ocean, under the rays of the rising sun, and in the west wc catch a dim outline of Lake Champlnin, while from the center of Maine Mount Kathadin rises in sight. . .

That would be a sail calamity to those who are very fond of oysters, so some enterprising men set themselves to work to cultivate oysters as we do potatoes only in a dlf. icrcni WAy. hea the little oyster is launched into life to take care of himself, his first care is to secure a home. His wants Arc very simply. reo.uirin: mcrclr a holding on place for holding on is tho speciality of an oyster. If he cannot once secure a safe home, he is almost sure to bo devoured by fUhcs, for fishes use oysters as well aa men. As soon as tlii fact about the young oyster was, discovered by the wiaetnon, they conceived the idea of providing homes tor the little creatarc,a men pro vide homes for poor little children only as oysters don't caro for cradles and milk, their nurseries were made this way i Stronc stakes were driven int the jmifl ndcr atautr, nftrurso and Iso- ", "'cm aicrc worm iranchcs 01 trees.
