What the Census Proves.

The scattering statements which reacf
us of the population of different localities
as shown Icy the recent census proves con
cius.vely one fact respecting tho Older
parts OF the country, viz, that the gains
are all in the cities and large villages
while the country is losing in number OF
its inhabitant We have before Us at this
moment the figures for three towns
Remssn. These are all farming towns,
and devoted largely to the dairying basi
ness Boonville and Remsen contain con
siderable villages.
In Boonvile, the present population is
4,2i0 against / ,424 in l9jj-a loss Of lSj.
! But. the village Of BoonvIlle, which is Il
thriviHg place at the termination of the
! Black, River and Utica Railroad, and q

has galhed 242 while the town in which
it is liisluded has lost lS5
lt,rlsen, in the same period Of five years,
has gained six, having now 2,G1i Ava
has now 1910, a gain of %. Both Of
these towns have large tracts Of unoccu-
pied land which has been slowly taken
up for settlement, thus hayn. in one re

A missionary preacher down east who
had found metal buttons in the subscrip-
tion plate, took occasion in his sermon to
request his hearers who might make such
contributions in the future. not to fiatten
out the eyes. as while it had not the effect
of teceivng the poor heather into the be-
lief that the articles were coin, it rendered
them entirely useless A. buttons.
