We again any there nrc but few institu- c tions of learning in this country that offer more or higher educational advantages than f the Clifford Seminary, und certainly no town j possesses greater attractions than the heal- j thy and pretty town of Union for the location of such an institution. While the Clifford Seminary is entirely a private enterprise, it has done much public good in the way of imparting higher education to young ladies, from all parts of the State, thereby giving character to the town for superior educational facilities, which suouui DC appreciated ny our citizens, and j the institution encouraged not only because j it is a worthy home enterprise, but for its ^ intrinsic merits. j Vacancy in the Citadel.

I rqjoice to see the wonderfkl improvement, that is being made in the methods of agriculture. Our Ibrefhthere seemed to have had the mistaken idea that if any of their sons were not smart enough to make success* fill ministers. Uwvm ?? ? ??1?~ ?l, ?. t ,.? .*i ?/> iwiuwiw, they would do for farmers, and without the least thought of farming beoomlng a scientific pursuit, they would mercilessly demand the virgin soil to give them a living. Now we see that it takes brain to make on# worn and washed hills and overSowou valleys imile with plenty; and there is truth in every word of thd assertion that "if wo feed md dress our lands they will give us ample returns." The amounts that have been produced pn - -.'-i in acre would have seemed fabulous a'few years ago, yot I doubt not but these wonderful returns per acre can be inoreesed, end rhat we need, as my young friend in his ee- ^. ay says, is educated brain. ' ^v' WHAT WABXSKf*OUGHT TO BKA9. m air. Kditor.?The day Is not far distant, Ire trust, when farming, like the other professions, will be conducted on ecientiflo prinliples; but before such is the case, the farming olasses must be educated?not merely to Itnow how to read, write and cipher, bat by Informing themselves on the leading topics of the day, to improve their minds and broadlen their ideas. I Think of tho many newspapers, books | and magatines, whiek are within the reach of almost every one, and from whioh so muoh entertaining and nseftil information could bo " obtained, and we are surprised to. find them v mile used. Often do you find the former reading nothing except his eonnty paper, and too often not even that. The man who claims inability as a reason for not taking needed literature is certainly not a progressive farmer. A prosperous former ought to take at least ^ his county and somo other good seoular paper, and his church paper; all of which will hardly cost morethan five dollarsayear. The county paper, besidos keeping you posted on the current news throughout your own county, all legal procedures whioh may concern you, will now and then refresh your mind with some new idea about agriculture, stock-raising, aud perhaps other important subjects. If you pay strict attention to your church weekly, twelve monttfT will hardly tafe ^ elapsed before you will have learned something about the origin, history and doctrine of your own as well as other churches. You know precious little about such things now. It would bo quite interesting to know how many formers?Methodists, Baptists and Presbyterians?could give the numerical strength of their respective churehA* yet these things come under their obserrution daily. Your secular paper will give you muoh information on almost every subject. Had you been a careful and thoughtful read er you would have known something about trusts and corporations ; something about the ootton exchange, and that you didn't get pay for the bagging and ties long before the bagging queetion was first agitated. If what the newspapers tell you to not, exhaustive enough, or if you should like .to become well informed on the leading questions which agitate the world to-day, then jrou might add to your stock some good monthly magazine, vj? : Ths Farm, or the North American Review, or the AUiance Monthly, and others; any one of whieh, notably The Farm, would amply repay fof nollfy invested, Briefer from our intention to say this s all the^g^ogrcssiTe farmer onght to read, 'or it is his privilege as well as duty to read irerything that tendft^o cultivate and 1m* j prove. _ % ;$gfl| A man need not make of hTmscI?

Almost every intelligent perspft mows that when the taste for good company s once formed that it is never pleasant nor . v igreeable to be among the base and unre* . ? ined.
