Der OF passengers on the Hudson in the sea
son OF 1914 was one million. This year, ON
account oil the very low rates OF fare, that ag-
Sregate will be increased TO 100000. As
there are only nine months OF navigation, that
will divide 10000 passengers every month
OF the navigating seasons. This evinces the
magnitude OF the traffic to be divided among
steamboats,. We doubt whether the Ohio or
the Mississippi will show a greater number of
passengers.-Albany argus.

CUTTING FOR CALIFORNIA.

Gov. Simpson, the chief Of the Hudson
Bay Company, has lately returned from
Oregon, and reports that the United States
citizens there are dissatisfied with the
country, and that one fifth Of them have
left there for California.
Governor Simpson may have stated
truth in the last part Of the above extract
but he would have made the matter more
Ineligible to the generality Of readers, if
he had added, that the Hudson Bay Com
pany have adopted measures, to either
drive citizens ofthe United States out Of
the territory, or force :hem to pay tribute to
this monstrous monopoly. This fact has
been long well established: and we are
not at all surprised. discovering as we do
in the above, an indication, that owing 10
the present aspect Of affairs between this
country and others, the company have a
dopted measures even more oppressive than
heretofore, for Kidding themselves of neigh

are the enterprising and intelligent emf.

our government station troops there. te

legitimate rightsa This might be done
without the infringement of any existing
treaty.
Is there not also necessity for an immc

squadron, now in the Pacific, Tor at leas

coast TO range from Acapulco TO Juan d,

1885. Washington county contained a
less population IN l649 than in 1885,
The evil is just beginning 10 operate. in

Without the aid of agricultural science,
the wheat growers Of Western New York
must give up the unequal contest. Nor
can they compete in growing wool, rails
ing pork, making butter or cheese to any
better advantage. The expense Of freight
on all these staples is less according to
their value per 100 lbs than on wheat and
flour. There are few farmers in this
State that make money in spite of western
competition, by legitimate farming opera.

Mexito has no naval force whatever, and as
for land forces she has none that will ever
get as far as the frontier of Texas. lfhow-

Grated the plough--it is the symbol Of true
nobility, the foundation of national pros
perity. Heaven holds the farmer in high
esteem. Well has the grea, apostle of
American liberty observed. that they are
Gods chosen people; and he who holds
them in light esteem, commits treason a
gainst nature, and blasphemy against his
Maker. Agriculture is the mo her Of vr-

national wealth, and 1t should always be

and yet how few are there Of this class of
men, who stand forth and claim the pre-.

tied! Ii there is a profession or calling
upon earth. that is truly enviable and truly
honorable, it is that Of the farmer. What

The leader is the Rev Mr.. Prince. His
