Horse STArIsTGcs.-It is estimated that there
are 10000 horses in the State of Massachusetts,
% 900 in the New England States, and 4,500,-
600 in the United States. Ohio stands for most
in the number of horses, New York next, Penn
sylvana next, Kentucky next, and Minnesota
last Of all. Estimating the horses of Massachu-
setts at S75 per head, their value will be S3,-
100000, and all the horses in the United States
at the same rate, would make a value of S337,-
100000, or more than three times the whole
cotton and wOolen manufacturing capital in the
Union. The horse interest rs Z most important
one 10 the wealth and prosperity of the States.

We think we can show how much cheaper
it is to take the Lady's Book at Three Dol
lars than any other magazine at Two Dollars.
We will take a late number of both. The
Two Dollar Magazine contained 36 articles,
the Lady's Book W.
The Two Dollar Magazine contained 80 en-
cravings, the Lady's Book 56.
The Two Dollar Magazine contained Ga pa
ges, the Lady's Book 100.
Twenty-four more engrayings, twenty six
more articles, and thirty-siX more pages,
nearly double the quantity. The lowest club
price of the Two Dollar Magazine is S1,25
lowest club price of Lady's Book $l,67, only
~ cents difference in the price, which is three
and a half cents on each number, and for that
sum (three and a half cents), you receive
twenty-six more articles, twenty-four more
ehgraVings, and thirty-siX more pages month
ly-certainly a very cheap three and a hall
cents worth. This view of the case has
probably never before been presented, but it is
a true statement, which any lady can con-
vince herself of by comparing the two maya
zines.
