FARMER'S HIGH SCHOOL.

To llie People of Pennsylvania.FELLOW-CITIZENS :?The Trustees of the" Farmer's High School of Pennsylvania,"

anxious to iutorest you in the importanttrust tor your benefit?committed to their

j.care, propose to present for your considera-tion the objects, present condition, and pres.

j ent wants of the Institution.| _An object, steadily and prominentlv int view, is to add dignity to manual labor byassociating manual labor with the acquisi-tion of scientific knowledge. Cast your eyesover the length and breadth of our Common-wealth. Observe various pursuits, profes-sions and occupations. Note the estimationinwhich they are respectively held, and theinflueuce they severally exert" upon the com-munity, and say whether their standing andinflueuce not mainly dependant uponthe relative intelligence of those who fillthem. How trite, and yet how true, thatKnowledge is Power !

Associate labor with ignorance, and youdegrade ; your sons and your daughters areled to eschew it,?to look upon all who earn !their bread by the labor of their hands asunworthy of their companionship. Associateit with intelligence, and you raise it to thathigh and elevated stand which it should occupy as the mainspring of human happinessand the grand source ofman's comfort.

fourth the number which the Institution isdesigned to accommodate, will be receivedin the first instance, and a similar numberevery succeeding year.

We propose to teach Mathematics, Natu'ral Philosophy, Agricultural Chemistry, Ag-riculture, and Agricultural History, Horti'culture. Veterinary Practice, Geology, Bot,any, Entomology, Civil Polity, Ethics, andall branches requisite to a thorough practi-

| cat and scientific English education, whichcan be acquired in a four year's course. Inshort, we propose to affor i facilities for the

; acquisition of such an education as will| qualify for the discharge of any duty our| country may require of her citizens,

j But independent of the benefits which theFarmer's High School of Pennsylvania, asan educational institution, will afford to itsinmates, there are other advantages directly

j flowing from it, in which every man requir-ing food and raiment will participate.?Among these are the benefits derived fromthe Institution as an experimental farm.

! Experience is the foundation ofknowledge.Induction from the results of Experience isScience. Inductions from the Experienceof the past and present age in agriculture,is Agricultural Science. A full and accurateknowledge of these results?of this science? 1is all to which the individual farmer, as ageneral rule, should aspire. Ifhe leave theattainments of science for the uncertainfield of experiment, he is much more likelyto fail than to succeed : and should he suc-ceed in the first experiment, his success hav-ing arisen, as it may, from fortuitous cir-cumstances of season, affords hut slight as-surance of success in the second.?Experiments in agriculture are, therefore,too expensive for the ordinary farmer. Iftlm were not so, however, experiments byindividual farmers, as they are published inmany of our periodicals, are wholly unreli-able, and are calculated rather to misleadthan to direct. This class of experimenterspublish only their success?not their failure.The farmer, seduced from the beaten pathby the result of a single experiment, underother circumstances of season, signally fails.He loses, it may he, his crop, and he andhis neighbors are led to attribute the resultto what they are pleased to denominate thefallacy of " book farming."

Experiments in agriculture, which lead toscientific knowledge," are those only, present-ed from year to year, through every diversi-ty of season, whether hot or cold, wet ordry. Ihe results of every crop must henoted and registered with accuracy. Wherewill this he done? where can this be done,excepting at an institution such as you havein the Farmer's High School, with a portion Iof her lands set apart and designated as the"experimental farm," in charge of scientific, 'practical men, whose duty and whose delightit will he, to institute, to register, and topublish from year to year, for your benefit, ,their experiments, whether successful or UD>.successful.

time, every step of pYogress imparts knowl-edge and affords delight.

When may these benefits? these blessings?he enjoyed ? Not soon, fellow ci. .zens, weare compelled to say, unless vou voluntarilysubscribe at least £25,000 in aid of the Insti-tution, the payment of which will secure anappropriation of the like amount from theState.

We have received, in cash, as follows:From the Pennsylvania State Agri-cultural Society, £lO 000

from the citizens of Centre countyto secure location, 10,000

From State by absolute appropriation, 25,000

a memorandum of observations and experi-ments made on the subject of their value andusefulness; which, when called for, he shallfurnish to the person making such preset)tn-

I lion, for his information.Under the second resolution, ibe following

subscription list will be offered to the peopleof toe State: 1

Farmers' High School of Penn.it/lcaaia.WHEREAS, bv an act of the Legislature of

Pennsylvania, passed the 20th day of May.1857, the sum of Twenty-Five Thousand Dol-lars was appropriated to the "Farmers' HighSchool of Pennsylania," payuble as thereinprovided, to wit:?"That whenever it shallappear ta the satisfaction of the Governor thatsaid Iligh School shall have received from jsome other source or sources, One ThousandDollars or upwards, the State Treasurer shall Ipay to said School an equal sum, and so on,until a sum not exceeding Twenty-Five Thou-sand Dollars shall have been appropriated to6aid School."

f . . faking $45,000I which sum has been economically expended

j ;n the equipment of the farm, the erection ofbuildings, &c., not one cent having been paid

i to any 1 rustee, either as a remuneration forj time, or reimbursement of travelling expen-ses. A legacy of SSOOO, by the late ElliotClesson, not yet realized, is shortly expected.At least fifty thousand dollars, in addition, isabsolutely necessary to complete and equipthis Institution, the government, of which?-through the agency of the County Agricultu-ral Societies to which any of you may belon" !?is in your hands.

To secure the advantages enumerated, and 1many others, to yourselves and your children,will you subscribe the sum required, one halfpayable on the Ist November, I<SSB, and the !residue on the Ist May, 1859? Your pecuni- !ary interests require" it. The good of thecommunity requires it. Benevolence to your ;fellow men requires it. The honor of Penn-sylvania requires it. She was among the firstto incorporate an Agricultural High School,and she is now liable to be distanced by many !much younger and less wealthy States. j

That you can, not only raise $25,000 to jcomplete and equip the Institution, but SIOO,-000 to endow it, if hut a few among you, indifferent sections of the State, will first set anexample of liberality, and then say : " Come,neighbors, help in the completion of this greatenterprise;" is fully and satisfactorily demonstrated by subscriptions, for this very pur-pose, recorded upon the hooks of the Institu-tion, with the name and post office address of \every subscriber, summing up as follows : |By citizens of Centre county, S7ICG" " Clinton county, 1500" " Huntingdon county, 585 i" " Mifflin county, 010

Agricultural Society of Allegheny county, 500" Erie county, and

Girard Union, 200By citizens of Delaware county, 220

The counties of Centre, Clinton, Hunting-don and Mifflinsuffered perhaps more severe-ly last year from the ravages of the wheatmidge than any district of similar extent inthe State, and therefore their delegates, at theannual meeting in September, promised little.Yet, while suffering from the destruction oftheir principal crop, they have felt rich enoughto subscribe $9,8G1, as above stated, of which$3,580 have been actually paid into the treasury, in addition to SIOO by the Erie Agricul-tural Society, SIOO bv the Girard Union Ag-ricultural Society of Erie county, and $220by citizens of Delaware county, makingS4OOO, entitling the Institution to a like sumfrom the State.

Now, to secure the appropriation aforesaid,promote agricultural science, and disseminateuseful practical knowledge, we, whose namesare hereto subscribed, do severally promise topay to the "Farmers' High School of Penn-sylvania" the sums set opposite our namesrespectively?one-half thereof the res-idue .

This Subscription to he transmitted imme-diately upon the completion thereof, by mail,to William G. Waring, Farmers' High School,near Boalsburg. Centre county, Pennsylvania,to he by him recorded, and returned, underthe order of the Trustees, for collection.

Another object? to many of no less im*povtance ?is to aflord the farmer, the me-chanic, the merchant, and others, an oppor-tup ity of giving their sons a thorough,scientific, practical education, at a compara-tively moderate expense,?an expense within the means of the great mass of our farm-ers and business men. This is to be effectedby requiring of every student, irrespectiveof his own or his father's wealth, to labor aportion of every day in the field, the barn,the garden, or the shop, as season or circum*stances muv require.

ißßmnaKDia.The Eur then Vase. Dodge. ?A new

swindling dodge has lately come to light inAlbany, which the shopkeepers here willdo well to beware of. A young lady thereentered a grocery, and after taking a seaton a chair near the counter, ordered a var-iety of articles, which were weighed, tiedup and handed to her by the attentive andpolite storekeeper. As each package wasgiven to her, she dropped it into an earth-en vase which she held in her lap. Whenshe had completed her purchases, sheplaced the lid on the vase, and setting iton one end of the counter, requested thestorekeeper to allow it to stand there for afew minutes, while she attended to somebusiness in the vicinity, stating at thesame time that on her return she wouldsettle the bill. Shortly alter her depart-ure an attendant of the store having occa-sion to move this vase, it was found to beconsiderably lighter than the number ofarticles placed in it would warrant, and onremoving the iid th secret was discovered?there was no bottom in it! It is sup-posed that the ingenious female had a pock-et in the front of her dress, in which to

place the articles as they were handed toher. It is needless to say that she did uotreturn for her vase.

Manual, as well as intellectual labor, willbe required of all : to excel in both, beingequally honorable, and alike necessary to theattainment of the highest honors of the Irrstitution, the student, as well in the field asin the study, will press forward with highhopes andjoyous expectations.

In boyhood, there is no stimulus sogreat, no incentive so powerful, as ambition.Manual labor schools have failed, ami alwayswill fail ofsuccess, where labor is associatedwith the necessities of poverty, in contrastwith the immunities and privileges ofwealth;where one class labor because their parentsare poor, and another class do not labor, be-cause their parents are rich. To insuresuccess, all must start together on terms ofperfect equality, with no standard hut -killin labor, and attainments in labor to elevateor degrade. The boy must be able to feelthat he is the architect of his own fame, asit is well that he should be of his own fortune : a lesson which lies at the very foun-dation of success throughout the wholevoyage of life.

Wheat, the staple of Pennsylvania, has, insome sections of the State, entirely, and inothers partially failed. No remedy lias yetbeen discovered against the ravages of themidge; and yet we are not without hope inthe tact that the science of Entomology is yetin its intuncy, and that some new variety ofwheat may ho found or produced bv cross-fecundation, exempt, by early maturity orotherwise, from the ravages of the insect.But can we reasonably hope, until we raiseup and place in the field of labor experimen-ters qualified for the faithful discharge of sohigh and important a trust?

\u25a0>n actual distaste for manual labor : thelow repute in which it is hel 1 ; habits of idle-ness Irom thisgeausc ; dissipation arisingfrom lack ofexcitement; ignorance of theapplications of science to the business oflife ; are among the evils of our present sys-tem of collegiate education?evils which thisInstitution purposes greatly to lessen, if notremove. The education is to be practical aswell as scientific. It is designed to makebusiness men. llow many students passthrough the whole routine of a collegiatecourse acquiring little else than abstractideas. Knowledge?if it deserve the narac-tlie use of which in its application to theevery day wants of life, they never learn.

In view of a great undertaking, designedfor the common benefit of man?designed toameliorate, improve, and elevate his condition,it is a DUT v to feel rich?to feel as the widowfelt when she did that act which has comedown to us with the commendation of Ilimwho stood over against the temple, as an ex-ample worthy of our imitation.

We wholly mistake your character, fellowcitizens, if you allow the Farmer's HighSchool of Pennsylvania, thus situated, to lan-guish for the want of the $15,000 required tocomplete the buildings. Nay, we mistakeyour impulses, fellow citizens, if you do notpromptly supply a sum sufficient to fit it withall necessary appliances and means of instruc-tion, and to give full assurance that speedysuccess must and will attend it.

Curious Higamy Case. ?A Mr. andMrs. Winnie, man and wife, were arrestedin Morrissania, Westchester county, N. Y.last week, the latter charged with bigamyand the former for aiding and abettingthe same. The woman, it seems, on the20th July, was married to one JamesWright and her husband, Charles Winnie,was present, consenting to the same.?

It is alleged that neither of them suppos-ed there was anything illegal in the pro-ceedings. Winnie stated that he and his

Great benefits will also be derivable fromthe Institution as a chemical laboratory forthe analyzation of soils and manures. Forthis purpose, in several of the States, an ag-ricultural chemist is appointed and supportedat public expense. In the rapid advance ofchemical science, it is not for us to say whatattainment may be reached by the agricultu-ral chemist in ascertaining the defects anddirecting to the means of supplying the wantsof particular soils; but tins we can say, withconfident assurance, that chemistry affordsthe only reliable safeguard against impositionand fraud in the sale of the whole class ofartifical manures.

From the study of the philosophy of themechanical powers, we propose to lead theclass, for illustration, to their actual appli-cation in tiie various operations of the farm;?from their recitations in Geology, not on-

ly to a carefully arranged cabinet, but tothe actual collecting of the numerous specimens with which the varied strata in the vi? 'cirity of the Farmer's High School abound ;

from their lessons in Botany, to the cultivat-ed fields, the nursery, ami the botanical gar-den ; through the fertile valleys to theneighboring forest and mountain ranges ;and even in their rambles for pleasure thro'the arboretum, we would introduce them toan actual, personal and practical knowl-edge of every tree which this climate can bemade produce. Such acquaintances withthe productions of Nature will make themfeel, wherever on earth's surface their lotmay be east, not as among strangers, butamid the friends of their youth.

The farm consists of 400 acres?36o ofwhich have been cleared. The soil is freshand susceptible of the very highest degreeof culture and productiveness. A comfort'able farm-house, a large and well arrangedbarn, corn-cribs, work-shop, tool-rooms,boiler'shed, with apparatus for steaming foodfor cattle, and other farm buildings, havebeen erected. An extensive, carefully se'lected, and well-arranged nursery has beenprepared, orchard and vineyard planted, andgarden grounds arranged. The Collegebuildings, sufficiently large for the accom-modation of nearly 400 Students, Professorsand their families, are under contract. Onewing, capable of accommodating from seven-ty-five to one hundred students, is so far ad-vanced as to afford assurance that the firstclass can he admitted during the comingwinter. The residue of the entire building,the contractors hope to be able to place un-der roof the present season.

Boys of 16 years old and upwards, qual-ified by a good common school education,will be received from every county in theproportion of its taxable inhabitants, if ap-plication be made in accordance with theregulations which will he shortly adoptedand published. Vacancies, arising fromfailure of applications from any county, willhe filled from the surplus applications fromother counties. The charges for tuition,hoarding, fuel, light, washing, and hooks,have been fixed for the first year atone hun-

dred dollars. The Trustees hope that thetime is not far distant when they can greatlylessen this comparatively moderate charge.

The entire course will be four years. One'

wife had become mutally tired of eachother, and she and Wright having becomepartial to one another's company, he ( Win-nie) proposed that, if Mrs. W. was agreea-ble, Wtight would take her. Mrs. W.having consented, Winnie took advice ofa constable, and Wright drew up papers*of separation, which Winnie and wife hav-ing signed and exchanged, supposed thatthey had a right to marry again as soon asthey pleased.

APPENDIX.At.a meeting of the Board of Trustees,

convened at the Farm School, on Wednesday,the lGth of June, the following proceedingswere had, and which arc published for theinformation they contain :

Resolved, That a committee be appointed,of which the President of the Hoard shall bethe Chairman, to publish an Address to thePeople of Pennsylvania, asking their attentionto the subject of the "Farmer's High School,"and that each momber of the Board be re-quested to 6ign the same.

Resolved, That the President of the Boardbe requested to ascertain, select and appointsome fit person or persons for the purpose ofsoliciting subscriptions to the "Fanners' HighSchool" throughout the State.

The Board, having under consideration thesubject of the admission of pupils into theInstitution, the following was determined up-on :

As a veterinary school, this Institution willbe invaluable in diffusing that highly usefuland much needed branch of science, a knowl-edge of the anatomy, structure and constitu-tion of auiinals, and the prevention and cureof diseases to which they are subject. Thousands of horses and other valuable domesticanimals are lost in Pennsylvania every year,from the professional ignorance which prevailsupon this subject. In France, England, andGermany, veterinary schools areand are well supported, and prove highly ben-eficial to the community.

An Epidemic in the Country. ?A singu-lar fever, which has been prevailing so fa-tally for nearly a year, at Peterstown, G tiescounty,Va., lias become more violent. ?Forty additional cases are announced. Theeditor of the Advocate has visited thedoomed neighborhood, and says: A more

desolate looking place we have never visit-ed. Nearly every business establishmentin the place was closed, and only an occa-

sional female form, dressed in the sombrehabiliments of mourning, was to he seen.The graveyard which we visited in theneighborhood was a fearful confirmation of(he sad reports which have been in circu-

lation. There was many a mound of freshearth ?alas, too many to allow for a mo-

ment the consoling hope of the exaggera-tion usual in cases of such general distress.

The Peach Crop in Maryland. ?TheElkton (Md.) Democrat says: ?We un-derstand that Mr. Nathaniel \\ olfe, ofKent county, has sold the fruit of one ofhis orchards on Sassafras river, for STOOO,to be delivered upon the shore. We alsounderstand that Mr. Reybold, proprietorof the Cassaday peach farm, in SassafrasNeck, in this county, expects to realizeover 830,000 from his orchard this season.

This would seem to indicate that there hasnot been a total failure of the crop, so faras Maryland is concerned.

gars hav recently been seized by the UnitedStates authorities at New York and at Boston,for undervaluation.

As affording to all who desire it an opportunity of seeing and examining the machinesand implements used in agriculture or horti-culture, ascertaining their uses and the soilsto which they are respectively adapted, theInstitution will be highly beneficial. Fur in-formation, the farmer now goes to a StateAgricultural Exhibition. Seeing around himnone hut strangers, he experiences a feelingof solitude in the wilderness of society. lieviews a vast number and variety of machinesand implements of husbandry, and after allhis examination and enquiry, he comes awayfeeling that he has acquired little, if any in-formation deserving the name of knowledge.He turns, it may he, into an agriculturalwarehouse. Beset by men whose business itis to sell, he looks upon no implement?if heaccept their representations? not exactly suit-ed to his wants.

1. No boy will be admitted under the ageof 1G years.

2. That SIOO, paid in advance, shall be thecharge for tuition, boarding, washing, fuel,light, and books, for each session, commencingon the loth ot February, uud ending loth ofDecember, of every year.

3. That the number of pupils to be receivedfor the first year shall be 100, and they shallbe apportioned among the different countiesof the State, according to the number of thetaxable inhabitants; and they may be admit-ted upon the recommendation of tbeconstitutional officers of the respective County Socie-ties, where such Society exists. And whereno such Society exists, the Board of Trustees,or a committee thereof, will determine whoshall be admitted. Provided, however, Thatno pupil will be admitted into the Institutionunless he be of good moral character, andqualified by a knowledge of the elementarybranches taught in the public schools of theState.
