J., sends us the following abstract of the address ol President McCosh, made at the opening of the session, which sets forth the condition and prospects of the college, and the efforts which are being made to render this one of the most popular and An^Aiirn/1 A m orinn n nrvl I a era a UCOb cuuu it vi nmwiiv^uu vviivgwt Dr. McCosh is one of the most distinguished of modern metaphysicians, a profound scholar and renowned author, and his administration at Princeton has given a new impetus to the college a9 well as to the cause of education in this community: Princeton College was opened September the 8th by an address from the President* We give the substance of it: Physiologists tell us that in seven years every particle of the matter in the body is renewed. Now I have been seven years in this place> and I feel as If I had become thoroughly an American. During these seven years I have become identified out and out with Princeton College. It has occurred- to me tliat I might open this 129th year of the College by a brief account of the progress which the College has made T - 1- - T.. votI I 1 SiLlCU Jl UiilllC 1IC1c. jlu uuiu^ a\j jrwu >v in understand that I am not claiming any merit to myself. The credit belongs to those friends who by the wisdom of their counsels and their generous benefactions have sustained our institution. All that I claim, and I make the same claim for my colleagues in the Faculjy, is, that we have devoted ourselves thoroughly to our work. First of all we have received in all about $1,250,000 in the shape of donations. The number of our buildings has been about doubled, and some of these are not surpassed in beauty by any built of late years in this country. We have two fine museums, one in Natural History and one in geology, the latter a perfect gem. We are adding $4000 wojrth of books a year to ourjlibrary. We have added six new professorships, including one in Civil Engineering, and twelve new branches of study in the various departments of Literature and Science. We have been gradually but most effectually raising our standing at the entrance examination, and at the semi-annual and annuai examinations. We allow a selection of studies within proper limits in the Junior and Senior years, and thus induce students to follow their personal tastes. We have an extensive system of Fellowships and Prizes to which we devote $5,000 a year and thus seek to encourage higher learning. We have also Detween nan a aozen ana a uozeu students pursuing after they have graduated, higher studies hero in Priueeton, or more frequently in Germany, under our superintendacce. By this we hope to produce scholars to match those who come out from the great universities of Europe. I do not see why we may not call!forth aserudite men as they do in Oxford, Cambridge, Berlin and Edinburg. Some of us had a fear tuat in consequence of our raising our standard that the number of our students would diminish. STo such effect has followed. On the contrary many, teachers and parents have resolved to countenance us jnst because we are raising the scholarship. We cannot tell what our attendance will"be this year, as students arestil coming in. But already 174 new students have applied for entrance: 120 Freshmen, 12 Sophomores, 10 Juniors, 1 Senior and 22 in the school of science. For myself I look on these things as but the beginning of what we contemplate for the good of this institution. We need halfa million more money to carry outour plans. 1 do not know where it is to comc-from, but I believe we will get it somewhere. We need one or two additional professorships and an additional tutor in the old brunches, and we need new departments to be added from time to time. Hitherto we have been ilevoting the money placed at our disposal very largely to buildings. I wish the people to understand that any donations placed at our disposal should now be employed to further the grand end of the college?the direct promotion of learning. In particular I am anxious, if funds are placed at our disposal, to organize our Fellowship system more thoroughly, so as to call forth talent and learning of the highest order. Meanwhile I wish to have those who have taken Fellowships to be brought into a closer connection with our College. I have arranged that one of our Fellows J. P. Kennedy Bryan of Charleston 8. C'. who has been two years in Germany give a lecture in our College on the Inter phases of the German philosophy and its relation to science, and that another. who was on the staff of the American observers of the transit of Venus give an account to the School of Science, of what he saw. Iron-dads seem to be doomed just now to frequent misfortune. It is not long since a British vessel, the Vanguard, was sunk, and now we have the report of the burning and explosion 01 the French ship Magenta.

The following extract from a publication of the United States Centennial Commission defines the duties of the new State I Board : The United States Centennial Commission has invited the several States and Territories to appoint local advisory boards or committees, to assist in securing a complete representation of the industries of their respective districts in the International Exhibition of 1S7G. It is hoped that a uniform system of co-operative boards of committees, organized in accordance with this suggestion, will excite local interest in the objects of the Exhibition, and thus greatly facilitate tho work of the Commission. , , Upon this organization of each board, an officer shonld be designated to conduct its correspondence with the Commission. The duty of the boards will be: 1. To disseminate informafion regarding the exhibition. 2. To secure the co-operation of indmtral, scientific, agricultural, and oth?r associations, in their districts. 2. To appoint co-operative local committees, representing the different industries of their districts. 4. To stimulate local action on all measures intended to rentier the exhibition sueccssful aud a worthy representation of the industries of the country. 5. To encourage the production of articles suitable for exhibition. U. To distribute documents issued by the Commission among the manufacturers and others in their districts interested in the Exhibition. 7. To render assistance in furthering the financial and other interests of the Exhibition, and to furnish information to the Commission on siAjects that may be referred to them.1 The Commission will aim to secure a high standard of quality in the articles exhibited, and a complete representation of the resources and industries of the country. To this end there should I be presented for exhibition the best pro|ducts of each district, and especially those which are regarded as of a representative character. LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE. One does not have to live very long In this world to be enabled to learn by experience his own follies and by observation those of others by whom he is surrounded. There is the young farmer, who, by industry and close attention to his one or two horse farm, has made ; some money. He has taken the front j row himself, and thereby induced his assistants to work well and willingly, | and with profit to themselves and their employer, lie becomes ambitious, and desires'a larger Held for his operations, (lie purchases au adjoining farm on | creuu, aim wiiu wiun nium^ uc t?vcumulated stocks it and buys the necesisary farming implements. He must ! needs have fertilizers which he purchases on time, at fifty per cent, advance, i Fxtra labor is employed, (someof it not ;its good as it might b*\) and paid by ori ders or goods, fur which ho pays fifty percent, profit- Instead of working, : now he superintends; instead of Jcaa, ing, now he endeavors to U'ive. When i the crop is made, gathered and sold, lie lis amazed to find himself in debt. This, I of course, is not the fault of the system, but is attributed to the seasons, the low | price of cotton or to something else. i no never iuiiiks jor u moiiieui mas when he let go the plow handles he lost j the best laborer he had ; that he could j not get half the work out of hands by driving that he could by leading; that when he cultivated his own small farm there were not so many poor acres, which did not pay for the labor of cul: tivating them; that one-third of what i lie paid was for the privilege of credit; land that all these things combined j would ruin the most experienced farmer 1 in the State.?Merchant and Farmer.
