plots of land, from less than Eve up to twenty
acres. The nearest relations OF farmers, Il
aged fifteen years or more, and resident on tnt
farm, are placed by the Census in the agricul-
tural class, as 1t is presumed they are more OF
less engaged in farming pursuits. There were
l ,200, 600 out door agricultural laborers return
cd In 1851.
In Scotland, the number Of farmers and oi
holdings returned was sc, ,659, and OF pasture Of

3,203 holders. The number of men employed
as laborers was 1852, and Of women, 6,l95
In the islands on the British seas, the number
of farms and farmers was 1888, who employed
1856 men and 80 women ss laborers.
Next year we shall probably be able to insti-
tute a comparison as to numbers between the
present and the past. and to note what etec'
emigration, and the improved social condition
of the masses, have had upon the labor .ques-
tion, The increase Of live stock in the ten
wears will be another interesting investigation
as bearing upon the food supply; and we shall
be able to Judge whether cattle breeding and
sheep raising keep peace with the larger wants
of the community.
We know that in Ireland, in the ten years.
the cattle have increased by 100 ,0OO; the sneer
and pigs have doubled. The increase in horses
there has been much smaller, only amounting
to about 10000 increase We have also some
data for Scotland.
In 1850, the number Of horses in Great Brit
ain, as far as can be ascertained, belonging e
farmers, was, 30s, ,573 used solely fer husband
ry; 80, ,s4S usually employed for husbandry, al
though occasionally in drawing burthens; EN- en-
ployed by market gardeners 1890; by baiiiff'
and herdsmen ,4s6; horses never having beer
used 1876, and breeding mares 1851. These
with perhaps few thousand under other classes
omitted, make total of about 370,OO horses
employed in husbardry, and the total number
Of all kinda, including young horses, ponies
and colts, was considered to be about 7UU,OOO
What the present number 1t would be diticul
to state. Ireland, however, has about 56O,OOO
Scotland 10000. In 1851, Mr.. Pool estimates
that there were 100000 head of cattle, 70,
100000 sheep, and l,5OO,OOO pigs in Grea
Britain.
IL is needless to follow out these guess-wor
estimates; for 1t is to be hoped that We ma
have, before another year runs out, some reli
able data as to the special and aggregate valu
of our land under culture, the extent OF tn
crops raised, and the live stock maintained
which may afford an index of our present agr

1 have just had a long talk with an a.
bic and distinguished member of Con-
gress from one of the border States, who
made one remark which think worth re-.
peating. He had been proving to my en-
tire satisfaction that there existed in all
the Southern States excepting South Car
olina, deeply rooted love of the Union.
but his summing up OF what ought to be-
come of that idiot State was as follows ::
He thought that Charleston deserved to
be consumed--made heap of ashes: that
the stones composing her defensive works
should be taken, one by one, and thrown
into her harbor so that no sail could ever
more whiten her waters and that the
State should be divided into two parts.

In 1886, as most people will remember,
Rev. Elijah P, Lovejoy. of Alton, Hi
nols, was brutaliy murdered by Pro-
slavery mob for publishing paper in "a
Free State, wherein he temperately dis
cussed the Institution Of slavery, occu-
pying substantially the ground covered
by the Chicago platform.
His murder took place on the 9TH of
November, 1886. In November, 1860,
we published a communication from a
gentleman of this city who was with
Lovejoy when he fell, pierced by
the balls of the furious mob, and who
received his last words. In that letter
he called attention to the cheering coin
cidence that on the 24th anniversary of
murder of Lovejoy, the 7th of Novem-
Der, 1860, the nation rang with cheers
over the election of1a President from the
same State of Illinois, chosen to carry
out the same views in defence of which
the martyr fell.
The same gentleman reminds us that
the anniversary has been signalIy cele-
brated this year by the glorious capture
OF the forts at Port Royal, and the plan
ting of the Union power in the heart of
stronghold of treason.
Thus do events keep alive the memory
Of noble deeds, and bring in the jnst re.
venges of history.
When Lovejoy fell, there was deep
and general indignation among the better
sort OF people at the North but 1t soon
died away, and the waves of pro-slavery
| feeling rolled over his head, and appa-
rently hid him and his doctrines forever.
A quarter OF a century reveals the re-
public donolel in population, and quad
rupled in resources. engaged in the mos
gigantic struggle OF modern times, for

An Extraordinary Salt Well.

One of the most extraordinary salt
wells OF record, perhaps, is now being
operated at Wellsville G olumbiana county
Ohio. The well was sunk in anticipation
Of finding oil. when at a depth of four
hundred and eighty feet, the borer struck
vein of gas, which burst forth with such
violence as to eject all the tools used in
boring. together with two hundred feet Of
pipe which had been previously introdu
ced. The boring had developed a very
strong vein of salt water, and the gas has
continued to spout the whole column Of
salt and fresh water furnished by the well
to the hight of one hundred and fifty feet
for six months. The idea of mahufactur
ing salt was then conceived, and after the
necessary pans. tanks, dc. were put up
the work was commenced, The gas was
introduced iuto the furnace in vaious jets.
which being ignited, performed the whole
office of evaporation without any other fu-
el. The furnace glows with an Intense
heat, and the fame issues from the top
of the chimney. The salt water flows al
the rate Of six gallons a minute and there
is more than sufficient gas to evaporate
the whole. The gas furnishes pressure
of one hundred and eighty-six pounds to
the square inch. which is eighty or ninety
pounds per inch more than is usually al
