_7th_. A new and growing society has every kind of moral want. The
necessity for education exists in a thousand forms; and if the friends
of it do not bestir themselves, the enemies will. The friends of the

Calhoun Co.) for the issue of an agricultural paper, adequate to the
wants of that interest.
_29th_. Dr. D. Houghton, the agent of the Geological Survey of the
State, which is in progress, commits to me, in a letter of this date,

the aboriginal vocabulary.
