! The following in?truments of writing hdye been handed us for publication.. We think such an \ enterprise would Succeed admim- ’ 1)1 y in our sister counties in Kentucky:— | On the 3d of October, 1858, a meeting was held at Carrollton, lor the purpose of getting up an A gricultural Society; The meeting was organized jby appointing P- 0. Turpin Chairman, and Benjamin O’Neal-Sec* retary. , \' v A motion was made and carried, that a committee be appointed, to confer with the several counties, viz: Carroll, Trimble, Owen and Gallatin; also, that a correspondence be ,; held with Switzerland county; Indiana, asking their co-operation in getting up said Society. William Brown, James Babb, Richard Hawkins; ,P. 0, Turpin, Gideon Giltner and M. T. Pryor, were appointed said committee. % 2d.

for one year, at a pecuniary sacrifice, for the sole benefit of the Bible Union, has awakened new attention to an enterprise which inspires such zeal and devotion.iu the breasts of scholars so justly and universally celebrated and esteemed. The addition of a new clement of merit, in the qualifications of the Final Committee, strengthens our posiltpn before the world, aiid enhances the excellence of thefinal work. Dr. Conanl's removal to the vicinity of the Bible Booms and the printing office,: will furnish new facilities for expediting business, and securing accuracy in our publications. Proverbs, and other books, will now be rapidly hastened through the press. •

The.Useful and Beautiful. The following is from the Edinburg Review: "The tomb of Moses is unknown; but the traveler slakes bis thirst at the well of Jacob. The gorgeous palace of the wealthiest and wisest of monarch.*, with the cedar and gold, and ivory, and even the groat Temple of Jerusalem, hallowed by tho visible glory of the Deity himself, are gone, but Solomon's reservoirs are as perfect as ever. Of the ancient architectuary of tho Holy City, not; one stone Is left upon another, but the pool of Betbsheba commands the pilgrim's reverence at the present day. The columns of Persepolia are mouldering into dust, but its sisterns and aqueducts remain to challenge our admiration. The golden bouse of Nero is a mass of ruins; biit Aqm’s Claudia still pours into Home its limpid stream. The temple of the sun at Tadmer, in the wilderness, has fallen, but its fountains sparkle as freshly in his rays, as when thousands of worshippers thronged its lofty colonades. It may be that London will sbaro the fate of Babylon, and nothing be left to mark its site, save mounds of crumbling brick-work. The Thames will continue to flow as it does now. And If any work of art should slit! rise over the deep ocean of-time wc may well believe that it will be neither a palace or a temple, but some vast'aqueduct or reservoir; and if any name should flash through the mist of antiquity, it will probably be that of the man who, in his day, sought the happiness of his fellow men - rather than their own glory, and linked bis name to some great work of national utility and benevolence. . This is the true glory which outlives-all others, and shines with undying luster from generation to generation; imparting to works some of its immortality; and in some degree rescuing them from tho ruin which overtakes the ordinary monuments of historical tradition, or their magnificence."

BiPtura tm Misxksota. —At a meeting of the State Association on the 8th inst. it was ascertained that there were within its bounds 44 churches, 1,810 members.

In the ninth annual report, the Board presents its views of the magnitude of the enterprise in which the Union is engaged, and in:this connection refer to the numbers and enterprise of the people who use the English language. The English Bible must ever be the Bible kor the world. It is already used by far more than half of. all who really study (he sacred Scriptures. It is impossible to exaggerate'the importance of preparing a pure version, for .such multitudes. The time needed fur the work is spoken of. It is urged that the work of revision requires fhr more time and labor than that of translation. "The first trausdutom into any language, gathers all the surface gold, and that which is easily accessible, to the eager workmen. Every subsequent revision compels to greater toil; and.each one is valuable, just in proportion to tho amount of time; toil, and skillful discrimination bestowed upon it. While it is stated that the value of future tesults wilt pay fold all expenditure of means and labor-, the present results arc also shown lo be valuable. The Bible Union is extensively engaged in the business of circulating the sacred Scriptures in differcht languages; in various ways, it has performed an amount of useful labor, iu the liumo and torelgn field, which would have been both surprising and gratifying, in an organization of so few years, and so limited means, oveu if it had not so'far advanced ihtf revision of the English Scripture?. The reasons for Dr, Hackett’s visit to Greece are given at some length, and the beneficial results which are expected from it, are set forth. The summary of labors and results shows that during the past year, Mark and Acts jiave been issued complete; Luke has appeared in part in the Reporter, and the tirs-t three chapters of Matthew have been published in a quarto volume of fifty pages. A very elaborate, and valuable Introduction to the translation of Job has been completed, and published with the first part of the book. in various for die, similar to those of Job, has been portly passed throngh tho press, and would have been completed long ere this, had not the distance of the translator from the printer interposed unavoidable delays in (lie transmission of proofs. : To remedy this evil, arrangement are being consummated for the removal.of Dr. Conant to (bis immediate neighborhood; as his permanent residence, where ho can have daily communication with the printer. Some of theso works hare met with an exceedingly favorable reception, and the notices of alt of them have for the must part been of this nature. '

Tut* New Swiss Crrv.—The Cannelton Reporter says Tell city 'is a marvel. There is nothing like its history.and progress and it has no precedents It has now over eleven miles of streets cut, sav; enty feet, wide, through the forests; has 1,500 people :and 300 houses. All of this has been done since the 15th of last April. The share-holders are coming in daily, and as soon as they can find their lots, commence their improvements. Every one rcems confident that the owners of the adjacent lots will come and do likewise. By this time next year we expect to see at least 5,000 people there, and the establishment of sufficient branches of industry to give all full employment. Tnis union of German and Swiss; of energy, economy, industry and thrift, will accomplish wonders.

Arsenic fa Cigars.

The Eclectic Medical Journal, of Cincinnati, states that Professor Stinson, of Heidelberg, has bad a series of experiments performed in his laboratory by Dr. Reiseg, to demonstrate the possibility of poisoning by introducing arsenic into cigars. It appears from these experiments that about a grain and a'half of arsenic may enter the month when the cigar has been steeped into a solution oftbat metal, and the quantity is abont .one eighth of a grain when the arsenic is introduced into the cigar in the solid form. That these may be the results of actual experiments, we do not doubt, bnt as there can be no possible use for introducing arsenic into cigars, cither for the purposes of adulteration or improved appearance, we think that (he Professor has been dealing with an entirely imaginary evil. Should this be intended as an argument against smoking, it wVnld be bettei* to use only those Which are correct, without having recourse to conjuring np fallacious ones wherewith to frighten the innocent smoker.—Scientific American. There is precisely the same motive for putting arsenic in cigars that them is for medicating whisky with strychnine. Strychnine is a powerful poison, and a very little of it will enable the manufacturer to reduce his whisky ond still preserve its intoxicating properties, which, with the most of topers, is the only test of strength or virtue. Arsenic is a powerful poison; medicinally k is called a tonic of excitant. It is fed to horses to make thom appear spirited, "foam at the mouth,” etc., the peasants of Syria eat it as others do opium. A very Utile of it added to a cigar will very greatly increase the apperen t strength or virtue of the eigar. so that with its addition cigars can bo. made of old, balf decayed, inferior, and comparatively inert tobacco-leaves, and pass,* even with "innocent smokers,” for a first-rate article. However, although there is a great profit to the dealer in adulterating or energizing weak tobacco with strong arsenic, it is no worse for the purchaser.

Success op Toe Steam Plow. —The Slate Board of AgricnUure of Illinois offered a premiumofSSOOO forsleam plows. It was expected that three different inventions would ho exhibited and tested at the State Fair, but only one was on the ground. That was Fawko’s locomotive steam plow, Lancaster, Pa. which excited great interest, among the prairie farmers, and performed well. The machine and apparatus, with fuel and water, weighs seven tons, and by the use of a drum or barrelshaped driver, for propelling the locomotive, the difficulty of mi ring in soft toil, and slipping on hard smooth- ground, is overcome. The steam plow is easily managed and is described.as,a cross between « locomotive and. a tender, combining the essential elements -of both, mounted on two guiding wheels and « huge roller. The prtirie’ground on which it was tried was baked as hard'nearly as a brict. bnt the: engine; turned six furrows side; by side in tbe most workmanlike manner. The excitement of the crowd was beyond control, and their shouts and wildhuzaaa echoed far over the prairie.
