AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION Axd Lectleks at Yale College. It wproposed to Lave what may be termed . : i . . i
i grwi giumiurai "prutracieti meeting u j Yale College during the present Winter, to
last iDrougriGut tue montli of t ebuary. The exercises are to consist of lectures by leading reliable men, eninent in tbe departments of agriculture, horticulture, stock raising.ic. About eighty lectures are provided for, two to four each day, each lecture to be loilowed by conversational exercises, queslious to the lecturers, and discussions. Twenty or thirty gentlemen, well known in agriculture, besides the Professors in Yale
College, are engaged to take part in the exercises as lecturers and teachers, while numerous other eminent agriculturalists and horticulturalLsts have expressed their inten-
tion to be present and participate iu the discussions. Among the lecturers are Lewis F. Allen, Cassius M. Clay and Francis Motch, on cattle: JSanford Howard and Dr. Gulliver on horses; C. L. Flint and others on the Dairy; the Honorable Marshall P. Wilder. Dr. C. W. Grant, Messrs. P. Brry aud It. G.

! tobacco, eio;) Geo. li. Emerson on Forest
irees; D. Lomstock on fish Culture; Dunlap G. Miichel (Ik Marvel) on Rural Economy. The whole is to be free, except the nominal charge of say, ten dollars or less to meet
the necessary expeuses of lecturers and other incidentals. The occasion will doubtless be one of great interest to cultivators generally, and call together a large attendance lrom a 1 parts of the country. Inquires with reference to this project may m addressed to Prof, John A. Porter, New Haven, Coun. AuKICCLTL'KALr-T.

The Miami Visitor says : A work receutly published in England ou "TLe Society of Friends, an Inquiry into the Causes of its Weakness as a Church," by Joseph John Fox, states that the majority of the banking firms of the metropolis, have descended from the members of the Society of Friends," and hence concludes that "the zealous pursuit of wealth" is one cause o! decline. The number cf the Society in England and Wales is said to be sixteen thousand.

But the women were not so ignorant as they pretended to be. They got wind of

by a negro. Ud was then takeu out of jail in the custody of two Marshals, who said to him: "You are so fond of niggers that we are goin r to trive vou a niirjer escort."
j He was led through the main street, amid
a great crowd, booting and yelling, the marshals compelling two negroes to drag him through the puddles and muddy places of the street, and of the State House yard ! As he was taken past the State House, three members of the Legislature, including the Speaker, stood looking on and laushin". The
j crowd gradually increased until it numbered
several thousand perjons, headed by a troop of horse. After a march of three miles out of the city, to a place called the Junction," the procession was stopped, and preparations were made for punishment. The populace cried "Brand him !" "Brand him !' "Burn bi.n !" "Spike him to death !" and made threats against his life by pointing pistols at his head, and flourishing sticks in his face. The vigilance committee ordered him to strip himself naked, and forced a negro to assist intt king off the clothes. A cowhide

The exasperated crowd detained the train, anl called for more tar and leathers, fur further infliction upon their bleeding victim.

Boyden, receiver of public money at Eau Claire, Wisconsin, for Chippewa land district, was gagged and bound hand and foot, and the government safe robbed of $5360.—He was sitting in his office at his counter with his back to the
door, making up his account with the gov-
raiment, and hair that clusters in goiuen ringlets around his fair young brow. How musical his voice, when he says, 'I am the holy Christ; again I am once more a child, as I always will be, to the world's end, on this ha py evening.

then took from the safe which happened to be open the amount of money in gold, as above stated, and went out the front door. All this must have been done in less than eight minutes. Mr. Boyden lay in this

He managed after a few moments to get one foot against the window-sill, thus making a noise, which with his groans attracted several parties to his office, where they found him as stated above, perfectly wet with perspiration.
