The Study of Agriculture scientifically, we notice, has ot late been introduced into some of the higher academies anil colleges of the North-west. At the academy of Ovid, Seneca county, N. Y., where this step has been taken, the text books adopt ed are Silliman's Chemistry, Norton's Agricultural Chemistry, Wood's Botany, Dana's Mineralogy, and Hitchcock's Geo logy. There cannot be a doubt that the proper stud v of agriculture in our schools and colleges will have a tendency to im prove the tillage of the earth, and to in crease immensely the useful products of the soil. The scientific principles appli cable to the subject are too little under stood or appreciated, and far too generally neglected by the practical agriculturists of the country. Northeastern Railroad. It will be perceived by the advertisement in another column that proposals are invited for the graduation of twenty miles of this Road. We are glad to see th'.s prompt action on the part of the management, and accept it at an earnest that this important work wilt be pressed forward to completion at au early day.
