And to h”r hair the dew. “0 wind 1” she cried, “for the spring’s sake, And the love beyond the sea, O South wind! O tender wind i O, blow him back to me.” She went across the winter fields, The salt tears r.sing fast, With her folded robe about her head, Against the bitter blast. “O North wind ! O Winter wind! Because the sun has gone, O, tell him thou art keen and cold, And I am all alone.” The wind came over,the fair fields. And the wind came through the woods, And strange feet crossed the pale spring grass, And strange eyes saw the buds. “O love!” he cried, “who called to me, And I was slow to come; The wail of the wind ja in nay heart, But death is in my home.” jitisffilnucons. STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY,) Secretary’s Office, l Atlanta. Ga , Sept 1870. J Dr. Sir : I enclose herewith a copy of a card issued from this office acknowledging the receipt of various contributions to the Society’s Museum and Library. I have mailed this card at the same moment to every weekly paper in the State. Allow me to say that I place peculiar value upon the weekly press as a medium of commun «. cation from this office witji the people at their botne* and farms off the thorough fares. The daily press is confined in the main, in their circulation, to business men in commerce and finance, and does not go much into th interior. The weeklies do, and through liberality this office seeks and hoped to have at all times ready com munication vvith the people. Under this view and policy this office would make your paper and all weeklies its or an, and I will promise through .means of bulletins printed as this is, by a job '*mee here, and sent simultaneously to all papers, to all papers and furnish them with the best reading matter and general intelligence, ip Agriculture which correspondence a,pd other material ass rds. It is with sqch objects in view that I beg of you the favor of the publioa'ion in lull ot the enclosed card, and the further favor that, you editori ally call attention officers and members of the County S cieiies to the resolution of Mr Barnett on the subject of se ecting Judges at the next Fair, and to th it, portion of the card which calls up >n citizens for contributions f> the Museum and Library of 'he S -ciety. Now, Mr Editor, with such a schedu e t r this office as 'hat indicated above, why should .you not call upon the members of the C unty Societies also to ad"pt your paper as their organ, and call upon them too as individuals to subscribe to and sup port your paper as the organ both of the State and County Societies. Obviously to my mind the weekly pape s furnish the readiest and most valuable ipeansjur inter communication between Ul3 State and County Society. Suppose your County Societies by a standing committee publish weekly statisti cal and general ipaupr in Agriculture T esc reports . come through the, weekly press to this office. This office selects ex tracts. sums up 'hei-e reports and makes its bulletin which embraces information from all parts of the State, and send it out to the weekly press, the .organs of the .County as well as t,h,e State Society. Can't you aid me in inaugurating, in urging this policy. Very re-pectfu ly, D. W. Lewis. 1. The Sec etary acknowledges the con tribution to the M useum of the Society, by Miss Emma Eve, of Marietta, of a Fan and A’reath, both manifestii g muci skill in construction, and showing such beauty in design, color and form, as to defy powers of descrint’on greater than he posi-esses. 2. Would also acknowledge in_ behalf of the State Agricultural Society, with great pleasure, the response made by many dele gates of the recent Agricultural Convention to his request communicated to them through his Card of July 11th, to bring with them to the Convention some precious or curiops, specimens illustrating the mineralogy and geology, or other branch of the natural his tory id' the States. It would take a high order of scientific skill to classify and prop erly describe their various and interesting contfibqtions. Ist. Mr. J. R. Gamble presents a speci men .of found in Chattpoga .county, in a locality which hs very graphically called the “Seaboard ot the Mountains ” It is in many respecis similar to the reef of the Florida Coasts, and evidently formed in the same manner. Also, two vertebral sections of fish, found in the same locality. To the eye and touch, these latter seem phospbatic. Mr. Gamble promises still more ißteresdng contributions. 2d. Col. Ward of Butts oqunty, presents some forty specimens of minerals and ores from that county. Thuugh taken from the immediate region mainly in which the Col. lives, they indicate for the county great richness in the variety and beauties of its minerals. Among the number presented is a specimen of quartz crystal equal to the finest Scutch pebble in transparency. There are in the number beautiful and rich specimens of iron ore, and other ores indicating the presence of copper. A striking feature in nearly all the«e specimens is that any one of them seems to be composed of a half dozen elements. There is one speii nen, which on the end where broken shows mixed quartz and iron, with two rather fiat sides or sur faces, indicating the results of fire and smoke, so black a;e th y. and glazed ; and across one of their black surfaces are the colors and curve of a rainbow, aparently as perfect as ever spanned the heavens. In the same number of stones, from any locuK ity, there could be found no stronger evi dence of the necessity of a thorough scien tific examination and cjasoificatlon of the minerals.of the whole State 3rd. Col, G. R. Culvcrhouee, cf Crawford county, presents some in'ere-tingspecimens from the cyetareous formation at Rich Hill in.that county, among which is a perfect oysters with both .valves eloped, ajid.a star fi3h Also a specimen which by the side of the fine specimens of phosphates sent to this office by Mr. John E, Dukes of Charleston, would be pronounced as go"d as they. A specimen of iron ore ia also among the lot. 4 Col. Joseph A. Shewmake presents gneoimens of Iron Ore from Burke county, and three specimens of hammered Bar Iron made from the ore by the Hancock Iron Cos. These specimens have an appearance of containing a high per cent of iron, which is striking, and instantly so. It nas been tested repeatedly by Analysis, and more than o»'ce has the answer of high authority in science been that there is no purer ore in America, 75 to 80 r»er cent The depos it is inexhaustible, ranging for miles from a point four miles east of Waynesboro to the Savannah River, cropping out in many lo calities to an extent that renders mining and digging unn> ce-saty 5. Messrs. Ritchford, J A. McMillan. D. J. Mcßae, delegates from Montgomery county, present a fragment from the monu ment of Governor Troup. who is buried in Montgomery county. The rock of which the monument is made is found near the spot. It seems to be a dark grevish sand stone, very hard, ver\’ compact, with now and then a cluster of small cells, in some of which there seem to the naked eye to be innumerable and injiiiitely small crystals. It would be classed as good building -tone. It is we!) t-hajt thi>, even if an infinitely more valuable rein-, simuld have a piaee in the museum of the Society. Gov. Troup was a life member, and among the num ber of its early frie ds When too old and infirm to attend its meetings, he manifested his sympathy with the efforts ot ito fr.ends bv presenting the Ex< cu ive C mmittee in 1854 with fifty splendid fat mutton sheep. 6 Dr. P. W. Douglass presented an In dian Calumet, ploughed up. on the Oconea River, in Lauvens county, five niiles above Dublin, it is made of grey soap stone though,, very hard. It ha a cut on the bowl, made by the plough share which ex humed it. Ir weighs some three pounds. 7 Messrs. Ritchford, McMillen & Mcßae,' of Montgomery county, present the Horns of two Bucks that were found at the end of a deadly combat, rtie one dead and the other dying—-the horns having during the fight become an interlocked as to have ren d red separation or disengagement impos sible by the animals themselves, thus ren dering death by thirst and hunger inevita ble. A singular combat—both victors and both, victims—both conquerors and. both conquered. 8. Mr 11. I Kimball presents a valuable eol ection of minerals and ores, made in Chattooga apd Dade counties and other por ti ns of N< jrhwe-»t Georgia, by Mr. G. W. II twapd, consisting of iron ores, Coal. Grindstone, Fne Clay, Soapstone, and other varieties, « 9. Mr. J D Barber, Oconee, Washington county, present- i new y iuventen Guaoc Dis rtbnfcor. patemed Ju y 15. 1870. 10 Mr. R.

Mr. J G Miner, of Nashville, Tenn , presents to the Museum his newly patented Sweep -June 28, 1870. 13 Governor Bullock presents to the Li orary a large number of the Pamphlet Laws and Jonrnals, the Code and Reports of Superintendents of Public Works and institutions,, thus gently aiding the efforts of he Secretary in forming a Department in the Library of the Society, which shall embrace as,far as possible, a complete Doc umentary History of the State. 14. The Secretary acknowledges the re ceipt of a large number of valuable Docn ments frpni’al.l tjie Departments at Wash ington, sent irj response tp special request. 15. The attention of the officers of the County Societies is called to the following resolution of the August Convention. The County Societies are requested to call spec.- ial meetii gs on the first §aturday iu October, to ascertain the names of tboae members wh > will attend the Fair, apd immediately report their names to this office, specify the Department in which each would be;>most serviceable as a Judge in awarding Prem ium*. , ‘By 3 Burnett, of Wilkes conty —adopt- ed : “ Resolved , That the difT-rent Gounty So cieties and As syciations be requested to furnish to the Secretary of this Society a list of the names .of such persons in the several counties as in their judgment are specially fitted for tilling positions on the several committees of thv State Society, for awards "f premiums —as fur example, suita ble persooe for the committee on field crjps, etc/’ 16. Dr. Fowler, member of General As sembly from Whitfield, presents a sack of two bushels of Oats, called Yellow Oats, weighing more to the bushel, anu yielding more per acre than any other variety. Mr. Russell of Cobb, thioks they are originally from Mexico. 17. The Hod. Sam’l F.

Not L'.og ag" directed mjr readers’ attention to an interesting article published by Dr. Brinton, surgeon to the Philadelphia llos pital, on the instantaneous rigidity which f rms the occasional accompaniment of sud den and violent death, such as results from wounds of the head or heart. The startling phenomenon sometimes seen on the battle field, of the retention in death of the last attitude in life, has not escaped the obser vation of military surgeons, although the facts connected therewith not been studied with the attention that they deserve. Those whoare familiar.with the descriptions that were given of the Crimean battle-fields, particularly Inker man, will remem her that the various attirudes and the ex pression of the features of the dead were dwelt upon. The report of M. Chenu con tains a short account, chiefly based upon the communications of MM. Armand and Perier of the attitudes of the dead in battle during the Crimean and Italian campaigns. At Magenta a Hungarian hussar, killed at the same tirne as his horse, remaining al most in Saddle, resting on his right side, the point of his sabre carried forward, as at the charge This rigidity generally fol lows sudden and violent deaths, but no> invaribly. Dr. Brinton, among his. cases, gives onO of a v§ry striking.kind. lie says that a man . wounded in the left breast at Belmont, Miss uri, found a stray mule, which he succeeded in mounting. While in the act of riding the animal he died ; but his corps retained the upright mounted pos ition. and on its becoming necessary to appropriate the mule to tho use of a living wounded soldier the body was found to be so firmly and rigidly set rs to demand a certain amount of positive force to free the mule from thp of the legs D r - Brio ton is ied to conclude, from his owu obser vations and those of other , that this battle ueld rigidity is developed at the moment of dearh, and that the cadaveris attitudes are those of the last moment and act of life.— London Lancet, August 28.
