PUBLIC NOTICE 



Tlie Spring Exhibition of the Junior Class of Farmer's College, will 

 be held in the College Chapel, on the evening of Tuesday, the first day 

 of April, 1S5G. Our patrons and the public are invited to attend. 



"MOORE'S RURAL NEW-YORKER.'' 



This standard agricultural journal and family newspaper is warmly welcomed 

 to our table of " exchanges." Its matter is always well prepared and judiciously 

 selected ; while its agreeable miscellany of " Facts, Figures and Fancies," imparts 

 to it an air of vivacity, delightful to both old and young. We warmly commend 

 it to the favorable notice of the farmers 'of Ohio. 



OUR METEOROLOGICAL REPORT. 



This Table is fully and faithfully prepared each month, by our Professor of 

 Natural Science; but as the Report can not, of course, be fully made up till the 

 close of the last day of the month, we find that its publication for the month 

 immediately preceding will necessarily detain the issue of the Cincinnatus too long 

 beyond the first of the succeeding month to be satisfactory or proper. We, there- 

 fore, must omit the report for last month in this number. The April number 

 will, however, contain the February Report, and so on, regularly throughout the 

 year. And, inasmuch as these reports are designed more as a record for refer- 

 ence in future years, than for current news, this postponement of their publica- 

 tion for the month will not diminish their value in the slightest degree. 



'■'■Ten Years Among the ITail Bags; or, Notes from the Diary of a Sj)edal Agent of the 

 Post Office Department ; by J. Holbeook ; with illustrations. Philadelphia : H. 

 Cowperthwaite & Co. 1855.'^ 



A prett}' large duodecimo, very well executed as to typography, etc., etc., and 

 a book that contains a little to instruct, and miich to warn, those who may be 

 exposed to the peculiar temptations of post-office business. A few of the sketches 

 are drawn with considerable graphic force ; but most of them are rather tame, 

 and some are positively puerile. The author's purpose of publishing what might 

 be called a "thick book," under a " taking title," is too manifest to escape the 

 most superficial attention. His frequent attempts at punning — at best but 

 " mechanical wit " — arc never fortunate, and often failures. His sketch of the 

 lives of the Post Masters General is valuable. The book is " readable," but not 

 remarkable. 



For sale by Moore, Wilstach, Keys & Co., Cincinnati.
