AS has been stated above, the amount here given

But this is not all. Each barrel OF beer requires
about two bushels OF barley, which gives Tor tne

Of agricultural land representing value OF about
$1,250,000 equally interested with the brewers IN
this branch Of manufacture, and certainly over 200
souls OF the agricultural population OF the country

railroad companies for the transportation OF the ma
terias entering into the manufacture OF beer or the

rived by the national government from this indus
whole would foot up to such magnitude as few not
intimately connected with the subject have ever be-
lleved 10 be possible.
THE CONSUMPTION OF BEER IN NEW YORK AND VI
CINITY.
Not all Of the 672,OOO barrels manufactured, as
stated above, is consumed here. good deal OF 1t Is
exported to other markets, coastwlse and by rail-
roads, to small cities and villages In the INTERIOR
Yet the entire consumption OF both winter
and summer beer in the counties OF New
York, Westchester, Richmond, Kings and Queens,
may fairly be stated at $4,000 barrels, which, at
thrtytwO gallons per barrel, makes II 800 900 gal
Ions. Each barrel estimated to yield 400 glasses,
which gives total consumption in the counties
named OF go 000, 900 glasses of beer during twelve
month. Leaving out 10000 900 OF glasses for pos
sibe mistake in the calculation and reckoning the
bar drinking adult population in these counties at
$780, souls would give to each 400 glasses year.
or not even one and a half glasses per day. Con-
siderng the large foreign population in this city
alone it VIII be admitted that this Calculation Is
rather below than beyond the actual figures.
The exposition OF the bar interest may serve our
Legislature q lesson, aud from it they may learn
what extensive interests are involved and how many
industrial and productive branches are touched by
the present sumptuary Excise law.
sNoTE.-There course much larger capital invested
In the brewing business In Newark alone but the sum stated
is taken in proportion to the quantity of the beer sent from
there and other neghboring villages TO this city.

The patriotic citizens of those places
which have neg lected to provide for the
proper observap .ce of the Fourth of July
would do well to emulate the conduct of
a former ecce' ltric citizen of Milwaukee,
Wis.,:
"The For nth came one year, and the
Judge was very indignant that no prepa-
rations ha d been made for honoring the
day. After good round scolding at
everybod Y for so gross neglect of what
he considered duty, the Judge deter
mined to celebrate the day himself in a
proper manner. At sunrise on the Fourth
IN question he arose and went up to the
lake shore bluff, where he fired national
salute. At ten o'clock he marched in
procession from the lake shore tn a grove
near by, where he read the Declaration of
Independence, delivered an Grafton, which
was afterwards pronounced one of the
most eloquent of the old time oration-
After the exercises at the grove he re-
formed in procession and marched back
10 the lake shore, where he dined, aud
read and drank the thirteen toast-,
and any number of volunteers, re-
spending to one, singing song To ano-
ther, cheering 10 another, the one To
Washington being drank in silence and
standing. The ceremonies over. he re-
turned to the city, and many will remem-
Der his boast that so long ar he lived no
one should say that there was no ce-

route from Cornwall to Middlebury. for
the projected line of railroad from Bird.
port, to connect with the Rutland and
Burlington Railroad at some point. It
was found that the lay of the land was
such as to leave no doubt whatever of the
feasibility of the measure. A good deal
of interest is being manifested in MIDDLE
bury upon the matter, and it is under
stood that the line will be surveyed at an
early day, when it will be shown how
feasible the route may be.

he thrown directly under it holding on
to the reins, and was dragged some rod,
when the horse was stopped. The wagon
was broken sadly. but he escaped without

injured.
