FOI RTII ANNUAL MEETING
Of Til
U S. AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
SEroWD DAT.
Wh?n our paper went to press yesterday, a
discussion was going on as to the propriety of
mem Tialiaing Congres# to take action in "ex
tending to the land the system of metorologi
cal co operation and research, which has done
so much and is doing so much for commerce
and navigation at sea."
C. B Calvert, faq.,of Maryland, replied
to Protessor Henry a remarks, especially his
insinuation that Lieut. Maury was not enti
tled to the credit of having made meteorologi
cal observations practfctlly useful. With due
respect to Professor Henry and the Smithso
nian. he would not have the matter pass from
the bands of that eminent and distinguished
man. who had not only proved himself a scien
tific man. nut a man of practical science.
Judge S. M. Huntington, of Connecticut,
hoped that a committee would be appointed to
eon-ider the subject, before presenting it to
Congress ?
C Calvert, Esq.. objected to this, as cal
culated to detract ire. 1 the honor belonging
to Lieut .Maury. 6 6
Lieut. Maury, Judge Huntington Professor
.Henry, and Horace Greeley spoke on the
qu<><?ti<?n of reference to a committee.
? J- Browne. Esq , wished to make some
explanations of meteurotogical observations
carried on at the Patent office
Major Poore. regretting that the discussion
Was becoming a personal scientific quarrel,
Into which subjects had been introduced as
illegitimate, as was the " scion of the House of
Northumberland, who had been alluded to,
moved the previous question.
The motion was sustained, and the resolu
tion were then carried, viz :
/t'eWiW, That agricultural and other great
intere-ts of the State would, in the opinion of
this Society, be materially benefitted by ex.
tending to the land the system of meteorolo
gical co-operation and research which has
e -*<? mucu and is doing so much for com
merce and navigation at sea ; and that this
^ h icfy do hereby earnestly recommend such
extension to the favorable consideration of
Congre-s. 4
Re*olt e4, That a committee of three bo ap
pointed r?y the President to communicate the

Mi at Parties.?Not a few complaints
were heard last winter about the character of
music performed at the parties given in this
city. Persons from the North and East, but
ni"ro partu ularly foreigners residing or visit
ing ere, denunciated in rather unequivocal
terms, the taste of our musicians for perform
ing such common?plnce ethiopean tunes on oc
eans of parties, Ac Now, wo beg to differ;
?ot m?re than an evening ago wo were at a
re.,be dancipK music performed,
consisted exclusively of selections from Strauss
liabiuky, Lanner, and Gungel; and the inter
missions rendered agreeable by selections from
the I rophet. DonGiovani Freischatr and other
a charn?tcr, performed most
i reditably on the piano and violin, by Prof?.
Scheel and Fisher. Wc do not think music of
the abo\e kind, well performed, could warrant
?'iy ono in stigmatising our music as being de
*uid of good taste for music on such occasions.

lights Many of tho principal stores upon

faid to be the freezing of the water in the

have been easily avoided had the Uas Company
aken the precaution, as is done in othercitics
uring a ?? cold snap,' to send around men to
put alcohol in the metres. The 'quality of the
gas was also complained of, and the occasion
was improved for giving the Gas Company
fits generally.

the only treatment which can hereafter be re

which the invalid can look with hope in the
hour of affliction

GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE.
Giorgetowk, Jan. 11, 185P.
By the list of appointments made by our
City Councils, on Monday night last, it will be
seen that the hyena of proscription. Know
Nothingism, used the political guillotine with
* degree of stoical indifference to everything
like consistency or the welfare of others, than
members of their own party, peculiar ouly to
this iworn fell enemy to everything like social
chnchM, ot civil and religious liberty. Every
individual outride of their own party, how
ever insignificant the place he held, that they
(the Know Nothing?) dare touch without bring
ing down upon their heads the juat displeasure
of an insulted community, was duly decapi
tated. This sweep was made, too, by the very
party that is eternally clamoring against the
Administration, because, forsooth, Individuals
who had solemnly sworn to support the Consti
tution, and had afterwards placed themselves
in a position whero they wero solemnly ^bli
gat?d to be governed by the higher laws of
Know Nothing ism, had been removed from re
sponsible places.
Every communicaiion with our city being
either blocked up by ice, or obstructed by
?now, leaves u.> with nuthing of a commercial
charactcr worth reporting. The severity of
the weather has also kept our milling estab
lishments silent for some time past, and caused
quite a stagnation in all kinds of business. It
has been, in the opinion of many, decidedly
the coldest spell uf weather we have had for
many years.
Too much praise cannot be awarded to our
townsman, Mr. Vanderwerken, of the tlnion
line, and his excellens drivers, for their inde
fatigable efforts to keep up accommodations
for traveling, for the people of the District,
between our city and the Capitol, during the
present very heavy fall of snow and extreme
cold weather. Spectator.
