Notwithstand ing tbe large minority in the Honse tan bill passed tbe Senate by the vote of the President; and it yonr reporter is correct, tbs measure would have been defeated there, but that two of the opponents were paired with a single supporter ot of the bill. Bat few eitiseus of this State waiid oppose a separata agricul tarai college, provided it was set tled that such an institution was beat far IV education of that spe ebd elans. Tbe experience of other Sutae has not given deiuoustra Goa of this foot.

It was fouud that there was a constant demand for wider eul- ture.aud in yieldiag to this demand aad tba iustitntiou now has tbe eharaoteribtksofa university, ruth- or than that of a separate agricul tural college. Tue Mississippi and Kansas colleges have been in ex istence not long enough to show what they ean do. The graduates tram eitbej have been eomparitive- ly few, aad a very law ot three few have gone to terming. Tbe Mississippi College has not tba terms of tbe Land Bat* ns it km never had a itmaot, which is this Act. The State haaiMCfivea it the money, and this fact ratdsa tbe suspicion that than far oat that s-al in its support which ia claimed by its special ad ms to be a sort of for Mississippi boys, mlates are out of alt proportion to its graduates.

Now for tbe rit urson beqnest. This Clomson will is a pos'iinmous ii‘Velaf|on of amazing presumption. Mr. Norris, one of the trustees un der tbe will, in a published article summed up assets that he Maimed should go to nietuso'i’s College, and put down his aunu il income at somet hiug over 150.000. Clemsoti’s will gives abont 180,000, which at 6 |M>roeiit wl l yield not quite $5,000 |ier anuuru. The Stab* of Sooth Carolin.i must pnr in over $45,000 snuna'ly to give the desired income of $50,000. Clciii'on is to give one- teii'h of the annual income; Sooth CarolitH is to give nine tenths of the annual income. Yet for this college so snpported, located away ff in the northwest corner of tbe State, Clemson arrogates to himself the name, and claims absolute con trol in its direction by nppoin'ing a majority of the board, and this majority to be perpetual. Would any sat'e mm go into a corporation and pot in nine tenths ot the capi tal, and yet allow tbe other one- niutli to eontr-l absolu'My the uftaira of the corporation f I trow not. Yet this is precisely what Clemaon in bis will asks 'be State ol South Carolina to do. It may lie s<tid that the bill«acceptiiig the liequest requires a two thirds'vote on all money exp nditures. Are trustees simply disbursing officers? It they were, and the terms of the bill were accepted by the exi-ontor, it might do away with the force ot the objection f bat so manifest a perversion of the intent of the testator would, I presume, bar the executor, and be woald lefuse to ttrn ovi r the funds under tbe con ditions imposed. Possibly there velatious of a year may show tbe futility of the effort to make .six equal to or even greater thiiu seven; theu a veto of tbe bill by (he Gov ernor will give our legislators the opportunity to drop this insignifi caut bone of contention. If de velopmeuts show that we need a separate college, let us locate it neat tbe centre of the State, where soil and climate most nearly np prpaoh tbe general- average and where travelling expenses to and from will be better equalized ; sup port it generously with our owu money, and manage it ourselves. Work of the Hoard ot Agriculture (Columbia Cor. New* anJ Courier ) Columbia, Jauuiry 3d.—Toe board of agiicultuie met at noon tosday with all but twouf th mem bers in attendance. Owing to the (act that half wf the members were elected at the receut session ot the Legislature, it w aa determiu. d that a reorganization ot toe boaid be aflected. Before this was doue the following resolutinu was off-red by Col. McCutcheu aud uusuimou-ly adopted : “We, the board, would expnss out appreciation ot the services ol Goveruor Uagood as onr presiding officer for the last year. His long experience in public office, joined to his ability, eminently til him for tba discharge of the dulieaof tin position which be has fi led so ac oeptably to us aud the people oi the State.” The reorganization was effected by the unanimous re election of Gen. Uagood aa president and Mr. L. A. Hansom as secretary. The usual aunduig committees weie appointed, aud to ’hem were re ferred the various matters to In* taken up tor consideration. I> . McBryde report*d that m accord ance with lbs i struc iout ot (in board at a previous tuee .ug, •In- tract ot I tu i upon which lhegp.tr tauburg expeimnut station was erected had been p od lor anti the title noouled. A committee was appointed to consider the whole matter of the nonpayment by the people of Spanauburg ot the c> st ol such laud aud report at the m-xt quaiterly meeting, at which da e the hoard w ill take action as to Hie continuance ol the experiment sta- liou in that couuty, the promises made uot having been tulflli- d. The afternoon session o: the boaid resulted iu some interesting determiuattons. The board decided to coutiune the Farmers’ Institute this year as last, holding them in each couuty desired by the farm ers, aud furnishing speakers ou the subjects deemed by the farmers ot uuyor importance. It was resolved that the departmeut should cous tiuuc its efforts to mippiess illegal fishing, and patrols were chosen lor Geoigvtowu aud the Edisto Ktver, whete vto aliens of the flsh laws have been most frequent. Among oiher who «sale premiums established for competition by the Well known magazine, “The Atner- icau Agricultural,” is one of live handled dollurs tor the hrgest yield of corn per acre produced any where iu the United Stales. The board ot agriculture delei mined to duplicate tofe p euiiutu in ca-e tbi- priz* ia taken by a So >th Carolina planter, aud if it is not, tbe boaid ill in any. case give a pretrium ot one hundred dollars to the uompets itor iu this State securing ih<- largest yield, it the prise m taken by a Sooth Oaroliuiaa he will get one thousand doban. Thia is worth trying for, and tryiug for with hope, for it is a matter of history that the largest yield of oorn ever made was in thin same oily of Co lumbia, where tbe product was over two hundred bushels to the acre. It ia iu order to recall the farther fact, that the larges! yield of oats ever made m tbe Uoiou was ma te by Kx-Semto Wylie iu Lan- cm-for County.

(News sad Courier.) A curious case of the qualms ot cmscienco is d< scr.bed in a letter which wa* received a few days ago by bberiff Ferguson. Ehe epistle was in German, and the sheriff, not caring to read it particularly, had it translated by an interpreter. Tbe person, who is conscience-stricken, is not the writer of the letter, but b« authorized it to be sent to the sheriff. It appears that during the earth quake a pen >u who now lives in St. Louis Connty, Missouri, stole $300 from one of the houses which were so rapidly abandoned The th ef has since moved to Missouri, where he has or has not enjoyed the mouey. He desires at ibis date to return it and authorizes that statement to be made. if anybody in Charleston lost that amojnt ou tbe night, or even after the firs' night of the earth quake, be or she can call and see the sheriff, or write him a note and he will put tbe inquirer iu commu nication with tbe peuitent man iu Missouri.

For weeks I was confined in a small basement room, with an upper grand window to admit light and eir. Biy doer was bolted and food was poked through an aperture, as wild beasts s re fed in a circus cage. All was Icmly r.-id c.d until I made friends of two li .'.le mice and a family of gray spiders th:.t i ought my ceil for safety. 1’iirt of my daily food was set apart for the mice. At first they were shy of my hr.pulrivo movements and shrieking voice ami would dart into their hole like a flash. But finally Lindners lie- got confidence, confidence banirhed fear, and in a short time they ate from my hand, played on tho cot or danced around the room to a low murical trill that I whistled for their amusement The big dark rpidcra would «■< s.r out of their web ard cat l.V hit :i 1 c::;m!it f- r their meal, torn ethers they tvoul I t : <;ht for their fold, but lilc a nu tropoli'.rn policeman I came to tho rescue when both were cxlmusted end separated tlu iu with a straw. Like a well regulated housekeeper tho wife would roon go to work weaving a fine brown garb i. round the innumerable egqs she laid, while the “old man” would spin long yarns up and down the walls, 6camjx.-ring over his growing web with the mathematical precision of a scientific surveyor. He was perfect in all lit') gossamer lines, and the octagonal shapis that seemingly grew out of his mouth and feet tilh-d me with a nameless surprise. When the mice or the spider.) heard footstcj* at my door they would immediately stop play or work and run into their holes, seem ing to know that sane man was on his round of ignorance to minister to the In sane. Days and weeks wore away, and still my mind rambled in the briars and flowers of imagination.
