Billings, in describing the Billingsville Agricultural Society, remarks, very justly: 'There are tew yoke ov oxen on the ground, several yokes ov sheep, and a pile of carrots, and and some wosted work; but they didn't t seem to attract enny sympathy. The peo pie seem to banker for pure agricultural hoss trots."

 WoMEN's RIGHTs.-In England, says the PaH Mall Gasette, the right of women are fully recognised in parochial if not in par liamentary affairs. Mrs. Sarah Wooster has just been appointed by the Aylesbury magistrates to the offices of overseer to the poor and surveyor of highways for the par ish of Illmire; and last year four women filled similar offices in the Aylesbury dis trict.

 CHURCHES IN NEW YoRK.-There are at present 419 churches of all denominations in New York, with accommodations for 290,OOO persons. With our present popu- lation of one million, only one third of the whole number could therefore attend relig- ious services. But 1t is estimated that sit tings for one half the people would accom- odate all who would ordinarily attend at one time, therefore the actual deficiency amnnnts tn only 10000.
 In some districts not more than one per- son in thirty attends church. In others one in twelve or one in six may be found among church-goers, while in the wealthy quarters the majority arc attendants.
 The average attendants for the whole city does not exceed 15O. 900, while the to- tai of regular and and occasional church goers may be reckoned at 200, ,0OO, or one- fifth of the entire population.
 THE BOSTON AND ERIE RAILROAD. To the very great satisfaction of the long strip of territory and the many thriving towns and cities along tine line of the road, the legislature of Massachusetts in 1867, loan ed the credit of that state to the company to the amount of three millions of dollars. The act provided for the appointment of ! three commissioners to keep the governor and council informed of the progress of the work. It provided also that no scrip shall be issued unless it shall be made to ! appear to those officials that the company will be able, either alone, or with the aid of other parties than Massachusetts, to com plete the railway from Boston to Fishkill The present commissioners are ex-Chief Justice Bigelow, ex-Governor Washburn, and Samuel Ashburner, Esq. After much examination, they asked at the present session for additional powers. They de- sired that the charter of the corporation oIo0i0 O0 uuuCI tu0 COutIOk OI tue l0QlSla- tire of Massachusetts, and also that they might have the power to administer oaths and send for persons and papers. The company made no objection to the bill they proposed, and it passed the house, but met with some opposition in the Senate, where there was an attempt to introduce collate- ral matter and even to repeal the act grant ing aid. A spirited debate arose, but the result was about as unanimous as last year, there being but one vote for tho proposi- tion to repeal the act of last year. We look with confidence for energetic progress in the work.
 DELEGATE. western journalists are acquiring a rare deiicacy in their way of putting things. The Chicago Times, un- der the head of s.Ornithological, speaks of cockfght in one of the lowest dens of that city as ssa series of chicken disputes" while another journal in the same city, in alluding to virago who entered a bar room, and after calling for drink, thrash ed the bar keeper and broke pitcher over the head of man who ventured to remon- strate. calls her 'sa lady of alcoholic taste and emphatic manner" Even more deli
