A MUTE's APPEAL.-At the recent destructive
fire at the village of Canajoharie, Mr.. BAcKUs,
the mute printer and publisher of the Radij, was
stripped Of every thing he possessed. "It is now
about four years since, to use his own language,
e'we undertook the doubtful experiment of ex-
hibiting to the world mute editor. man
deprived of two important channels of intellec
tual Interchange. A man with wife in like
circumstances, whom former ages had elevated
but little above the brutes. A man who could
look around and see thousands in a like condi-
ton, without any attempt to arouse them from
their lethargic degradation. This was underta-
ken by the proprietor Of this paper"
The experiment was successfully prosecuted,
until Mr. BAcKUs was visited by the misfortune
to which we have above referred. An effort has
been made in Albany, and in other places where
this most worthy and deserving man is known,
to raise a sufficient sum to enable him to resume
the publication of his paper. The Evening jour
nal suggests that those out of the city of Albany,
who are disposed to contribute to such fund
should leave their gifts with the Postmasters in
their respective places of residence, with re-
quest to forward the same to the Hon. j. L.
Rathbone, Mayor of Albany, by whom it would
be properly applied.-.N. L. Cotu. s. Eng.

RICHES OF OHIO,

We recently took occasion to illustrate the
great resources Of our country, and especially the
Western portion Of it, by the statistics Of part
Of Monroe county, y Y. The result of that IN
quiry was, that the people of that section actu-
ally raised near flee times as much bread-stgfs
as they could consume, and therefore .fottl,tfths
Of it was clear profit.
We shall now continue the illustration of
this fact by the agricultural statistics Of WAYNE
COUNTY, Ohio, as published in the Wooster
Democrat.
Wayne county is large county containing
some Or SEQ square miles, on the great central
table lahd Of the State; partaking of the same
general character as that vast plateau which ex-
tends from the foot of the Alleghanies to the
Mississippi. 1t is not intersected by any Of the
great internal improvements Canal or railroad)
in the State. 1t is therefore fair specimen of
the agricultural condition Of Ohio.
The county Of Wayne contains about 5000
male adults, which may therefore stand as re-
presentativcs Of the families. OF these 1000 or
seven hts of the whsle are farmers.
We ! now see what proportion of bread
stUGs, what may be deemed the staff ofHfe
to man, raised in this country.
Wheat, $4,000 bushels.
Rye, $4,000
B1ckwheat, 10000 g
Corn, 395,000
Potatoes, 132,0O0
OF these arti les we may exclude from men
earn, which, though brea6-stq6; is in Ohio
cheerfully fed to animals, and include potatoes,
q which man is almost the only consumer
We have, then, 945, 900 bushels Of grain, or its
equivalent, used as the food of man.
Allowing the usual average for the conStGnp-
ton of these articles by the population Of
Wayne, and the result is that the people there
raise four and half times as much bread
stuff as they consume. In other words, of 45
bushels of grain or potatses raised in that coun-
ty, 81 NAV be set down for erportation. In
this great fact we see how it is that such enor-
nous amounts Of Ohio -four arrive at the ports Of
Buffalo and New Orleans. At Buffalo, 81 900
barrels Of Ohio flour arrived single day! But
this is Only one side of the statistics of this
county There are raised in il:
Oats, $4,000 bushels.
Hay, $4,000 tons.
Wool, 10000 lbs.
Sugar, i77,90e "
Horses and Mules, 10000
Hogs, $4,000
Sheep, 5000
And we may add, there are le q 500 bar
rels of Whiskey made in tn. count

TIIE MEETING OF clNGREss.

Yesterday, for the first time in a great many
years, neither House of Congress formed
quorum on the day appointed for the opening of
the Session, owing to the Unprecedented occur
renee of the roads in all directions being block
ed up earlier in the season than ever was known
before, by nearly as heavy fall of snsw as is
Iecollected ever to have occurred in this part of
the country, accompanied by high wind and Sc
we're cold.
In the SENATE, sixteen members attended,
and in the HsUsE OF REPRESENTATIVES one
hundred
In the latter body, it is probable that quorum
of Members will be in attendance to-day; bat
we have doubts as to the Senate. Without the
presence of quorurs in both Houses no bust
ness can be transacted; so that it is possible our
readers viii not have their curiosity gratifed

day or two 10 come Nat. Intel Of Tuesday.

OURSELVES.

We are greatly indebted to some of the reli-
gious papers, for the notice they have taken of
our controversy with Bishop England, and con-
fdently hope that a subscription, more than equal
TO the expense of publication, win be obtained.
The daily subscription, in this city, is ncreasing
and the subject is commanding public attention
elsewhere.
The moment that others see that the paper can
ride out the first storm, friends will come in: and
additional advertisements. Many Of our present
subscribers have expressed desire that we
should exclude Lottery Advertisements. This
we propose to do, when our present contracts
expire.

CENSUS MEMoRANDA-1S40.-f Through the
politeness of Mr. Sibley, U. S. District Mar
Shall, we were yesterday favored with the gene
raj aggregate Of the recent United States census
of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as
taken under his direction during the last sum
ner The official returns are not yet so far
complete as to be arranged into counties, but the
total amount of the population is found to be
739, BOG, which is an increase since 1880, of
l29,292, or 81 per cent. This is doing wonder
fully well for the sold Bay State" and will
enable her to hold her own in the next Congress,
allowing the ratio to be fixed as high as 81, 500,
with small fraction. The ratio, however, will
not probably exceed 10000, in which case she
will be entitled to her present number of II
with fraction of 1896. Should however, as
may be the case, the ratio be fixed as low as Sc.
$40, which will be an increase of more than
5000 over the last ratio, she will be entitled to
ID representatives in the next Congress, or an
increase of one. This, however, is not to be
expected, and she will do far better than most of
her neighbors, who, we are sorry to say, will
not hold their own, as may be seen by the fol-
lowing table, which we have CLEANED from va
riOuS sources.

A PREVALENT M1srAKE.=The sen.
n. merriam.

A PREVALENT MIsTAKE.-The SEN
timent, that it matters not what man be-
lieves, so that he is sincere, is as unscrip-
tural as it is absurd. Sincerity of belief
has no more effect in warding off evil in
the spiritual, than in the natural kin gdom.
If the teachings and persuasions Of a re-
puted chemist should prevail on you to
beliere that arsenic is harmless, would it
therefore be harmless? Could you mix
it with your bread, and you and your child
rem eat it without injury to health or life ?
Oh no Neither will the sincerity Of
your belief save you from the consequence
of error IN religious faith. Right belize
truth, Gods truth, my brethren, is the
only foundation on which you can safely
rest your hopes.
But true belief is not mere act of the
understanding, it involves exercises of thu
heart; the emotions are purified, and low,
pervades the soul.-E N. Kirk.
