It will be remembered with how much interest and satisfaction the Lectures at Tale College were received last winter. The beneficial results that they were universally acknowledged to have accomplished, has determined their continuance, and we bespeak for them the attention of our readers. We are indebted to the politeness of Professor Porter, one of the moving spirits in the enterprise, for being enabled thus early to state, that the Second Course will commence February 5th, 1861, and be continued throughout the month. These lectures are given under the auspices of the Yale Scientific School, a scientific department of Yale College, as a supplement to its newly instituted course of practical collegiate education. A new and important feature of this course will be the complete illustration of all the subjects presented, by specimens, drawings, models, and living animals. Life-sized paintings of groups from celebrated herds will be included in these illustrations. The lectures on the training and breaking of horses will be accompanied by practical exhibitions. The lecturers of last year will take part in this course, and other eminent names will be added to the list. Among other new subjects, the diseases of animals will be presented by a leading authority.

The relation of various branches of Science to Agriculture will be discussed by Professors in the Scientific Department of Yale College. These lectures are repeated with no expectation of pecuniary return, but from a desire to furnish facilities of education to those who are unable to avail themselves of the more extended practical courses of the Scientific School. Its large expenses will be met in part by voluntary contribution. For further information apply to Professor John A. Porter, Tale College, New Haven, Conn.
