ELECTION SERMON. custom, obsolete for
twenty years, was revived by the present LegislA-
ture-that Of an election sermon. Rev DR. Childs
of Castleton was the invited preacher, and we I'M
derstand he performed his duty with ability and
satisfaction to his employers. But this mixing up
matters is not to our taste If the practice is con-
tinued there will soon be a wrangle about the de-
uominational procliyities Of the preachers, which
will extend to chaplains of the two branches, and
thus do quite as much harm as good We cannot
but think that our legislators and executive officers
had better attend to the special business assigned
them by the Constitution and entrusted to them by
their constituents, without reyiving the obsolete
customs of our ancestors.

CONFISCATTON OF CHURCH PROPERTY
IN MEXICO.

II is impossible TO say what il the exact or even ap-
proximate value Of the property contscated. Some
authorities set down the whole ecclesiastical properly
of Mexico as high as four hundred millions of dollars
although il is said that onetOurth OF the whole Is I'M
productive. Thisvast wealth yields the clergy an an
nual income OF about twelve millions OF dollars. Inc
church establishment thus supported consists OF the
Archbishop or Mexico and nine Bishops, whose aggre-
cate income amounts TO $500 900. The number OF tue
1arocbal clergy is 3677 There also 10 cathedrals,
having log canons and other dignares and one cole
giate church. Thereg1ar clergy comprise ~ MONKS
Chiefly Franciscan, and there are l56 converts
Ecclesiastical property in Mexico has hitherto been
free from taxation, and the management OF all prop
erty bequeathed to the church for pous uses such Tor
instance as raising chapes and saying masses for the
souls of the donors has always been in the hands OF
the clergy Ii is more especially this last species OF
cbprcb property estimated by Baron Humboldt some
fifty years ago to be worth s4OoOU,oou "hicn II Is
Intended at present 10 cCntscate. The greater part
M This vast property is administered by chaplans who
perfolm no parochia duties whatever. Dr. Jose mora,
one of the most intelligent men III Mexico thought
that Humboldt had moderated the extent OF those 40
nations which he estimated at near eighty millions OF
dollars. ,u
In the year 1904 the King of Spain ordered the
funds of these religious foundations 20 be seized ana
confscaed. OF course the clergy protested against
this measure without avail At that time the esti-
mated value of the property in question was between
| $4,000 900 and $50, 100000 The Government con-
| tented itself with only seven millions and eft the
remainder untouched. The war of independence
which followed greatly diminished the value Of these
| funds but subsequent endowments and the careful
administration Of the clergy repaired the loss so that
in 1891 the sum total of that kind of property had
become worth nearly $50 900 ,000 and of course is
| much more valuable now.
This property entirely distinct from that possessed
by the regular clergy and If estimate 1t at sloo-
600 600 and the unprOducve property OF the Mexican

PREMIUMS To FARMERs.-The New-YOrk State Ag-
ricuura Society offer premium of SIS for the most
satisfactory experiments in the application of all the
recognized Fertilizers to FIVE of Indian Corn,
each specified fertilizer being applied to carefully
measured rood of land and full record of the tage
and its results submitted to the Society before the LIST
of February next. Aso $50 for more limited series
of experiments on three acres of land.
Likewise, premium of $50 to the New-York boy,
under eighteen years Of age. who shall grow within
this State the best of Indian Corn during 1856
Likewise, $50 the New-York boy, under eighteen,
who shal in ls56, grow the best acre of Carrots H.
Greeley agrees to pay the two last premiums.
Also $50 for the best and $50 for the second best
cultivated Farm of not less than so acres Excluding
wood and waste), devoted mainly to Grain-growing.
Also. $50 for the best and $50 for the second best
Farm of ike dimensions, devoted mainly to Grazing

The object of these premiums Is genera! improve

all who see fit to compete for one or another OF them
should obtain and preserve the full directions of the
Society They will be found, we presume, in all the
agricultural papers. Benz. T. johnson, esq, OF Al,

simply growing great crop, without keeping accurate
notes of the process and expense, will not secure
premium as it will not to show others how such
