THE GROWTH OF New oEK.-The New
York Post publishes some tables compiled from
the State census returns, which give some idea
of the magnitude and rapid increase of the
population of NewYork, Brooklyn and their
suburban districts. In ten years the popula-
ton of the city of NewYork has increased a
little over n quarter of q million, and is now
G29,sl0. Brooklyn, and the villages of Flat
bush, East New DIRK, etc, in Kings county.
has run up in the same time from 18TH 10
2l6,S5'-an increase Of 1864, In the same
period, the population of the Jersey villages of
Hobokcn, etc, has doubled, and is now no.
600, The figures show that the aggregate
population of NewYork and BROOKLYN and
their suburban districts, is in round numbers
eleven hundred Thousand, aud that there is in
the contiguous territory surrounding the city a
population of nearly half a million, but little
less numerous than that within the CITY limits.
The Post expresses the opinion that uneyampled
as 4as been the increase of NewYork CITY and
suburbs for the past ten years, u far greater
Development of population and wealth may he
looked for in the decade On which IT has ir,st
entered.

A PErRIF1ED ISp1AN.--While engaged in
excavating recently upon the Milwaukee and
La Gross Railroad, near Schlessengervillc, in
Iowa, the workmen cam upon the petrified
remains OF an Indian, and with the remains
some singular relics of olden times. The body
was perfect, not having suffered by decay. His
height, at the present time, would be considered
gigantic, measuring seven feet two inches. On
his breast was a plate of copper, on which
were engraved numerous hieroglyphics, the
meaning of which can hardly be imagined. But
there they are, q record Of the past. Gould
these hieroglyphics be read, they might, per
haps, unveil some of the mystery which hangs
like a dark cloud over the history of the red
man. An arrow of considerable strength and
curious construction was also found with him,
and especially invites the attention of antigua
rians. louisville Courier.

in Scotland, of which he was a native In
early years, MIR. Ferguson visited America far
a short time, aud being the heir OF several
very worthy relatives, he had during he last
twenty-five years become possessed Of graat
property, which hehimself materially increased
for he was one of the few far seeing British
capitalists that preferred a rcmunerative rate o.
interest with the securities of progressive
America, to 81 per cent. per annum in Con.
soils with the security Of the British Govern
ment. Nevertheless, his wealth was so great
and his fnanciering SO judicious that he had
not only a large sum in the English funds, but
also in the various funds of continental Europe.
The bulk Of his property, however, is invested
in this country, and during the last ten or fiji
teen years, he was reported to be the riches,
in Scotland, and the largest holder
of American securities in Great Britain.
