The inhabitants Of Brownsville now number
two hundred and twentyeight, showing an In
crease Of one hundred and seyenty-eight since
the first day Of January 1855. In other words
there are times as many now Us then. Should
the increase be the same for the present year
that Is. all addition Of l1s souls, there will thef
be on the LIST Of Jan. 1857. 406 inhabitants
But should there be ~, times as many then a
now which is the ratio Of increase for the las,
the place will number .036 inhabitants
and should that proportion continue for two
years, the number Of people in Brownsville on
the LIST Of Jan. 1858, win be 46l1; but this
the most sanguine can hardly expect. Shonlt
the place number 5000 on the LIST Of Jan 1888
none need complain.
We now suggest the building Of good warn
school house and church together with The
grading Of the levce, as soms Of the improve
ments for the present.
