IHE CENsUs.-The Springfield Republican of
yesterday publishes returns of the new census
from the greater portion of the towns in the five
western counties of this State From these we
gather the following facts.
Sixteen towns in BERKsHIRB COUNTY have
made an aggregate gain of 376I over the census
of 1885, while five other towns have lost $40,
leaving net gain of 342l in 81 towns, and nine
towns yet to be heard from.
Eight towns in FRANKLIN COUNTY have gained
1910 since 1885, and fifteen others have lost $50,
leaving net gain of $50, and three towns to be
heard from.
Ten towns in Hampden have gained 5,627, and
others have lost 1883, leaving net gain of 1884,
and four towns to be heard from
Five towns in Hampshire have gained l sos,
and thirteen Others lave lost l, S5S, leaving net
loss of 253, and six towns tc be heard from. In
those to be heard from are included Northampton
and South Hadley, the gain in which will much
overbalanee the above loss, and leave the balance
on the light side.
Thirteen towns in Worcester County Gas cor
recled by u.s. have gained 1885, and thirteen
Others have lost 796, leaving net gain of 1905,

RAILROAD WARFARE.-The depot strife at
Fitchburg, between the agents of the Boston and
Fitchburg and Worcester and Fitehburg Railroad
Corporations, which has ragged for some time, is
now in prospect of soon being settled by the
Courts. OnSaturday, Crawford Daggett, Albert
Granger, Leonard Day, Albert fainter, Ibencis
Tainter, Charles Fox, and Lyman Sanderson,
agents of the Boston and Fitehburg Road, were
brought before the Police Court in this city, for
assault and battery upon employee of the Wor-
cester and Fitchburg road, it being the fourth
time the first five of said defendants have been ar
ranged for that offence. The cases were all post
poned for trial till Thursday next, before the Po-
lice Court 1t is understood that able counsel are
engaged on both sides, and the occasion will
doubtless attract together large crowd.

FAMILY WASHING SoAP.-One of the most

ing day, With its trials and annoyances affords
standing subject of remark, and has been the
theme for many writer, both Of ,n0esyt a|E nc
ciitate the operations of that day, and to mili-
gate its labors, is to some extent public bene
factor, aud is deserving, not only of grateful
elections, but of adequate reward.
We have been led to these remarks, in special
reference to a new article, recently put into the
market, called " Family Washing Soap manu-
featured, we believe, by VIM. S. Mascroft of SUIT
ton, and which, in the handbils accompanying it,
is warranted to excel every other soap now in
use, for aoRShi'lg clothes, remoUing grease spots,
purifying the skin, &C." 1t is also recommended
in numerous testimonials of those who have tried
it, as superior to other soaps and washing fluids,
and worthy of general use, if it were only for its
labor saving properties, as washing may be
done in one half the time required by ordinary
soaps.
We have made use of this article.in our family,
and can most fully concur in recommending it
to the public for general use. We have, hereto
fore, tried many of the imoroved soaps and wash
ing fluids, some of which have been decided i'm
proyoments on the common soap, while others
excelled in some particular, but were obiectiona-
bic on some other account. This, however,
proves to be of the highest quality, without any
apparent objection or drawback, and, we have no
doubt. that as the public become acquainted with
it, it will be received with special favor and will
successfully stand any trial to which it may be
subjected

call for Convention, addressed to the peo-

preliminary steps for the organization off new
territory, to extend on either side of the Co.
lumbia river, from Cascades to the Rocky
mountains. The Pioneer says that the late
treaties by Gov. Stevens and Gen. Palmer
with the Indians in the proposed new terri
tory, have thrown open for occupation all the
fertile valleys of the vast scope of country,
and its admirable adaptation for stock grow
ing has already induced large number ofiar-
mers from the Willamette valley to emgrate
thither. There are also gold fields in that sec.
ton Of the country, and ifpublic expectations
in regard to them are realized, the Pioneer
thinks that three thousand people would be
found there within month.
