He rxieiv;e.l much applause when he complimented the fanners lor their farmer governor and-their Agricultu ral and Mecltanlcal College. He then paused for a moment as if fifling wiUi emotions, and with a voice, andl words, and actions, that would have Iteert worthy ofS. S Prertissor Mrs. Siddons, he informed the immense audience that our senior Senator had invested his accumulated immensi ties in land and stocK and imple ments, so now today he is the largest farmer in all Nor tLr Carolina. - This rapture fell upon that audiejee with a quietness and stillness as falls the tiniest leaf from the frailest tree ; only one old farmer let escape one semi sigh or groan. That was all. It was plainly manifest that it was bringing in a kind of importune side-show that was not laid down in the programme or expectations. - The State Board elected Or. Twitty, of Rutherford county to fill the unoccupied term of the Iauented Dr. C. I. Smith. No better man can be found than Dr. Twitty, We served in the Legislature with him and know him well. .

At 8 :3(T o'clock, when all the con gregation had been seated, a beauti ful and pleasing sight, to the young men of the college, took place;' this was the coming of Dr. Creasy, lean ing upon the arm of our beloved Col. Holiaday. President of the College.J Dr. Creasy took his text from Zaeh-' ariah 4:7 and from this text he showed how. mountains had been made plains, with such illustrations as Robert Fulton, George Stephen son and Edison and others; Every body enjoyed the sermon and many said it was the best tbey had ever heard. - Monday evening at 8 :30 o'clock were the only exercises of the day, it being class day. The program consisted of two orators, Walton and Pearson ; class historian, David c - . class prophet, C. E. Corpen p,Dgf anj presenter of prizes, R. D. Patterson, all of whom did great lege.

Some Bits of Nature. For the Patron and Gleaner. There are thousands of insects that make no provisions at all for the rearing and protection of their young, as regards homes or nests, but depend altogether on the bodies and eggs of others for that purpose.! Thev display a wonderful instinct in the selection of the proper grub" or'j caterpillar and the right kind of egg, j which alone will supply the proper nutriment for the supporof their young. There 13 scarcely an insect so 8 mall, but what has its parasite and the old saying that "larger fleas liave lesser fleas to bite them" is lit erally true. The Ichneumon fly he- longs to this class, being a perfect parasite. The species are very nu - merous, , being about 2,000 in the United States alone. They prove jof incalculable service to the farmer, their instincts learrfogjin regard to the ztw.tjiiig snake -one them to do fy his advantage,what ' all his contrivance could not effect,! a great many destructive insects be- ing kept in check by them.

They" are commonly called "wolves" and nearly every an iraal has its peculiar species. .-They "are found in the 'rabbit, squirrel, mice, &c, &c. Man himself is not exempt from a species of this parasite, but n Mexico and tropical America, it has becii found beneath his skin. Fiog are'not even exempt," as four species in Australia nave oeen louna con tairilng them and it is said the frogs invariably d;e, hen Ihey leave them. It has been a belief entertained. by many for generations, I suppose, that a dog bitten by a snake will be. come full of young snakes and die. This belief is still coratDon. I have seen intelligent people, at least con ' sidere i so in regard toother things, I who Jteld this belief, and no amonut of reasoning could convince Ihera to the contrary, and I expect fo have manv of your readers down on me j (or denying Uiat there is the slight- est reason for anyone entertaining f r a moment, this belief.
