Rratons of Russia are indeed very far forward.
About 60, 600 rifles have been converted on va

Tho Boston 1TdDeRer contends that the
female population of Massachusetts is not
one hundred thousand greater than that of the
males. In 1865 the preponderance was
G3,O11, while in 1860 it was but 81, ,6l0, the
increase being the result of the fosses of life
among the male population during the war.
But this pre- ponderance is not by any means
made up of American women wholly In
1860 there were in the State "a, 222 more
females of foreign birth, and the preponder-
ance of American-born females over Ameri-
can-born males is thus reduced to 39,7S9.

Who Can Beat It2

We have been handed a section of, o, stalk
Of cotton tpkcn from tho farm Of Mr. FRANK
Maxwell, Of this county. Tho main stem
measures six inches in length, from which
four branches have grown, the longest being
only ten inches. From tip to tip across these
branches the widest point will not exceed
one foot. On this little section, taken, as it
appears, from tho top of a stalk of cotton,
there is twenty.one grown hollis and thirteen
small hollis and blossoms, making thirty. four
in 9 space tho sizo Of an ordinary hat. The
original stock we understand, was about five
feet high and had been topped in August.
The party handing it to us did not know the
nutnbor of hollis on the whole stalk. 1t is a
curiosity, and every person who has seen it,
says it beats anything they ever saw in the
e'tton line. The whole section will not OK
coed g cube of ten inches. We challenge
the State to beat it. Tho section can DO seen
at the "Courier" Office.
