AcatcuLreman Society —When our report closed yesterday, the subject under dis. cussion Was the resolution presented by Mr. By- ington, of Iowa, with respect to the location of the next annual exhibition; the resolution calling upon the execative committee in designating the same to confine their Otiations to the region of the valiey of the M ississippi, or the great lakes west of the Obio. Mr. Wilder, of Mass., in making some remarks Upon the subject, thought it wor be inezpedi- ent to confine Soog oe coe: to ae yo locaijty. for in doing so, ¢! might that committee to Yefas better Propositions. else- where, with a view to disposing of the whole subject at once. r. Conger, of N. ¥ , moved the reference of all applications to the executive committee, whose province it was to consider them; ‘and also, that the sesolution which had given rise to the debate now going forward, be laid on the table until a report should be made by the ex- ecutive committee. Hon. B. V. French, of Mass., believed it out of place to discuss this matter at Present, when more oe pe Mensurex were waiting the at- tention of the Society. Hé hoped further debate upon it would be d. - Dr. Spence, of Virginia, to offer a substitute for Mr. Byingten’s retetation, which he believed would suspend further discussion, and not be objected to by Mr. Byi » and that was to recommend to the committee the rex ton Indicated in the resolution before the So- ciety as a place entitled to the choice of said committee, sbould no more advantageous offer be made from any other section of the country. This would embody the principal features of the pending one, and not be what seemed rather out of place, that ir, it would savor less of a com- mand or de upon the executive committeg. i The discussion continued. several of homens bers participating therein with scat ae a Mr. Kelly, <= New York ‘olution ‘was unnecessary, but Poni v tien to the substitute coureag to be offered the gentie- man from Virginia a . Mr Calvert considered that this whole subject had been provided for in the by-laws. Bs stated (hat the by-laws had been repealed. Mr. Kennlentt, of Illinois, urged that that je was the most readily accessible of all the Westera States, and therefore emineatly fit for holding the Pair. He presented Coke county, in (bat State, as a proper locality for holding the exb{bition, Mr. Alston, of South Carolina, believed it roper that this Society should accommodate hi self to the arrangements of the State Societies, us they, so far as he was acquainted, bad regular stated towns for holding their exhivitions. Mr. Carey, of Otio, proposed Obio as a place for the holding of the next fair. Mr. Burgwin said that money was a great ob- Jeet, and should be consider: above all other things if the Society intended to carry out the objects for which it was established Messrs. Olcott, Kimmeli, Wilson, Case, Cary, Kenolentt, Barrett, Byington, aud others con- Unued the discussion, when— Mr. Conger moved to refer the whole subject to the exeeutive committee, with instructions to report at the end of the session Mr Byington objected. He would much pre- fer that it shouid be considered by the Society Mr. Conger thought this disposition of it would save much time The order of the day being called, viz: the discussion of the importance of an agricultural education— On motion of Mr. Byington, it was ‘poned rotil the topie under consideration should be disposed of, After some further discussion, was put upon the reference proposed by Mr Conger, and on a division it was carried.

Curtis, of Wis . made some remarks with reference to the superiority of this corm over other *pecies, and cited the bandsome yield last year tu Lts vicinity as iliustrating its excellence. Mr. Connolly here rose again, and proposed to show that the question be would now introduce was one of privilege. He desired to remark upon tbat portion of the anuual address of the Presi- dent which related to the Agricuiturai Division of the Patent Office.

Connolly, in reply, stated that such doubt- less was the case with respect to the “many com- munications,” but that of these he had used but six; and that if the secretary was skilled in agri- culture he would know that a quart was sufficient to plant an acre, and if he was arithmetician enough for the position he held he would know how many quarts were contained in three bush. els, the precise quantity distribute Brown for this soclety. ’ a a The order of the day bei for On motion of Mr. Ww it was again post- ed in order to allow ice & res0- ution calling for the committee of oe ee — ‘ums for essays that had with retary; which teed to, and Messrs a Keile and Kell - Pointed to constitute such committee.” *P Mr. jagton, on leave, introduced the follow- 5 ution, which ‘was adopted : jolved, as the sense of this meetin; , that the ion of the great Northwest and va of the Mississippi is entitled to the holding of the next exhibition of the United States Agricultural So.

Porree Cases.—Before Justice Williqoms.— On the oath of Mr. George Seifert, a search war- rant was Issued by Justice Donn, and placed in the bands of Oilicer Keese, authorizing a search upon the premises of Mr Bergman, alias Erritz, for a red cow, a hog, and six pigs, alleged by Belfert to have been recently stolen from bis farm in Maryland, and, according to his belief, to be concealed upon Bergman's premises The Officer proceeded to search, under the authority of the warrant, and found a red cow, which Sel- bert identiged as bis property. Bergman was aceordingly called up to account for his posses- sion of the disputed property; and he appearing before Justice Williams, brought a witness named Hoosey, who testi@ed on oath tbgt the farm, cows, hogs, pigs, &c., claimed by Seifert, were not his property, nor never had been; but were bis (witness’s) cows, hogs, pigs, farm, &c. ‘Tbat he owning said farm, in the State of Maiy- land, placed Seifert upon it to take cgre of it; that be also authorized Seife:t to purchase such aolmals as were necessary to stock it; but never gave him any authority to seil anything off tLe place; tbat the cow in question bad beew pur ebased for bim by Seifert, and that be had suid it, togetber with the other animals, to Mr. Berg- man, and received the money therefor; and that Bergman was their lawful owner. Upon the facts above reported, the Justice or- dered the cow to be delivered ey to Defgwan, and discharged that gentleman from custody. The officer then produced a judy ment against Bergman for a small amount, aud caused aa exe- gutiog to be made upon the same, and proceeded to the stubje te isvy on the cow; but, when ar- rived upon the ground, Bergman banded over tte amount of the jadgment, thereby moveating, @ levy being . He then mart off tri- umphantiy with bis recovered property. —_ A Disrrasstxg Qecurnence.—On Wednes- day evening, a Mr. Hilton, residing on ¥ street, between Pour-and-a-half and Sixth, on the Isi- aud, met bis death iva ¢hocking manner.

Peter McGrath testified that Thomas Stone entered the house and arrested bim, and ‘ook him out of the house; when he got into the alley, Stone struck him; dida’t recollect his dragging lim along; recoliect little about it. Mrs. Mad:gan, proprietress of the house, said she was up stairs when the she went down and found McGrath there; did not point him out and tell the Officers to ar- rest bim. William Flaherty, a policeman, remonstrated against the rough treatment of McGrath when in custody; McGrath struck or kicked Stone, who then struck bim, and witness remonstraied against the rongh treatment, Officer Haskell ca up with the party near the corner of Fourth and a streets, and xaw the biow struck by Stone at that point after McGrath Kicked him ‘Several other witnessex were sum- moned for the rosecation; some were examined, but they added no new features to the case The defence then introduced Officer Kidwell, whose evidence was, substantially, that ne was with Stone and saw the men tusseling on Fourth street. They started after the parties and one of them ran; they pursued bim to see what the mat- ter was; we came to an alley on Fourth street, fupning through to Third street; this the man ran into; we went to the house at the corner of the alley, and a man standing at the back gate said “there is aman in there that ought to be arrested;"’ Stone went into the back oor, and Witness followed; Stone asked a lady, standing in the room, which was the man she wanted taken out? and she oe to McGrath; Stone arrested bim, and said “You'll have to come out of here.” He came as far as the door, and then struck Stone under the jaw with bis fist; witness went to assist Stone, and they got him inthe yard; he collared Stone, who toad nian to let go, or he'd break his arm. He held on till Stone struck bim on the hand with his stick. They yot him as far as the gate and both let him go. He then struck witness. They took him again, and Lieut. McHenry came up and told us to take him to the guard-bouse. e kicked Stone in the stomach; Stone strack kim with the stick back of the neck; he turned and kicked me in the pri- vates; we carried him nearly to the corner of E and Fourth streets; here he kicked Stone again in the stomach, and Stone struck him with the stick and he fell; we got him on his feet, and be went quietly to E street, where he said to me “you ditty, stinking son of a b—h,” and spit in my face. This was the principal witness for the defence, and though Captain Foddard, Lieut. McHenr > and Messrs. Neule and Donovan were examined, ee additional important t> the defence was elicit Judge Crawford instructed the jury that when the officer sees a breach of the peace he hasa per- fect right to arrest the guilty party; but if time has elapsed since the offence then’ he must be provided with a warrant, and has less right to enter 4 house and make an arrest under the latter circumstances without a warrant. ‘The case was given to the jury. Alexander Adams, tried for assault and battery on Wm. Coxon, was found guilty. Henry Williams, colored, was found guilly of petty larceny. Tue jury in Stone's case had not returned when the court adjourned. This morning, the verdict of the jury in the made up and sealed after the Court adjourned yesterday, was opened.

Very interesting speeches were also delivered by Mr Charles Eames, Rev. Dr. Pyne, Mr. Fred- erick P. Stanton, and some others of the non- professional of the Association’s guests. who were called out in the course of the evening principally upon the condition and promise o! Artin the land. This delightful entertainment closed at about 2 o’clock this morning, when the company separated for the night—as Patrick would say. We were particularly struck with the fact that of the thirty-nve or forty ariists present, many of them already famous in their profession, and the Test now on the high road to artistic eminence, scarcely one had seen forty-five summers; a large majority being perbaps texs than thirty-five years ofage.

Mayyem —About twelve o’¢lock Jast night, q great disturbance of the peace occurred in front of the restaurant, formerly the Vulcan Hanse, opposite the National Hotel. The officers inter- fered and arrested Daniel Lang, who was en. gaged ina fgbt with Eugene Lanahan and oth. ors. Lanabaa and Lang were dreadfully beaten, and it was prong a regular “rongh and tum- ble’ @yut of the old order, as the teeth marks and thumb prints were plainly discernible upon the persons of both. Lanaban was taken to the Tokrdery, and, upon examination of bis wounds there, it was discovered that a piece of bis nose was missing, and the surgeon sent for it to the police station, but it was not found.
