State Convention, from Wilkinson
county, being present, was then called
upon, and entertained the club for a
few moments with a plain and agreea
ble address, in the course of which
he gave us a very encouraging report
of our brother agriculturalists in Wil

the sell of the Hon. Mark A. Cooper,
(in the late 'Convention) in’ regard to
his home-made fertilizers.
The subject of raising small grain,
which was .laid on the table at our last

and with harrowing or very shallow

D. G. FOUNTAIN,
The New York Sun says the sickness
of the President’s colt, about whose
sore greatly exercised was due we
learn, to the uncircumcised quarters
devoted to the Presidential stable.
To guard against such misfortune in
future, Grant is erecting a new pala
tial structure adjoining the State De
partment on Seventeenth street for
the royal stud. This edifice is to be
60 by 80 feet and three stories high.
It is to be built of pressed brick with
blown stone trimmings, while the in
terior will be of hard wood, oiled and
finished in imperial style. The base
ment is destined for the Presidential
dairy stock, the first floor for fifteen
horses and equipages to match, and
the upper stories for provendev and
residences for the liveried servants.
The cost of this imposing stable will
be defrayed, not from the Presiden
tial privy purse, but from the appro
priation for the erection of the new
-State Department.
