We cling to the hope that this con gresa will repeal the taxon manufac tared tobacco and we are sanguine that the iepeal:witl lriog great bene fits' to both manufacturing and plant: ing interests in Vireinia and North Carolina. Eednction in the price of a commodity increases' the consump lion of that commodity ; JThen ; the eig'it cents per posnd is taken off to bacco, more of it will " be u sed, and the larger demand -for the untaxed and cheaper goods will in some meas ure counterbalance the bad effects of overstocked markets and the conse qnent low price of leaf of which Iwe have heard so , much complaint for several years past. A portion of the eight cents will be added to the price of the raw material a ."portion : will gi to the manufacturer .and. jobber and the test be sTed to : the conga mer. - " kfe'As the tobacco trade is now carried on, manufactursrs!, as a rule, sell thir giKds on long;-time.

This largelyjucreases tlie risk of the manufacturer and operates as a serif ous drawback to the business. If the buyer fails, the manufacturer 'whom he owes loaea.not . only his tobact.-o and-his work, but also loses tbe.monej value.of the 6 tamps" placed upon, the boxes, y In the matter of interior to bicco the tax pearly double the risk.

American Sural Horned ; Education in Agriculture. t Colonel McClenahan recently deliv ered an excellent address on the need of education in agncnlture, before a larmers' in6titntd, of -which s we take the following paragraphs: " , The object of agricultural' educa tion should be to teach the. science rather than. ?be art of agriculturd; to gi?e a more, complete knowledge- of the farm, the structure and the grow th of 1 the -domestic animals, -and the laws of breeding; to tescn thrstraa tore and laws of growth of domesti cated l plants, v and the -adaption ? of both plants and animals r to e the cir comstances of the soil and climate, ard. their variation as affected by variable - influences; to train: those employed in agriculture to habitual ly observe the phenomena' of ammat and plant life as it goVson before them, and to quickly take; advantage of observed facts to improve methods and products ; " - . - y?
