THE following IL an abstract Of the agricultural
report OF Commissioner Capron for the present
year:
The Commissioner begins by expressing his
qualification at being able to represent the great
interest of agriculture as prosperous, although he
asserts the present season has been one to test
severely the capabilities Of soils. He says,
however, that the fact OF increased production. In
a season remarkable for excessive heat, In a coun-
try assumed to he liable to injurious extremes of
temperature and seasons OF continued arfdity, ar
fords strong evidence OF the available depth and
fertility OF our arabic land
An examination in detail OF the fact. Of the
years production, in the light OF enlightened az
ricultural experience and OF science applied TO
husbandry, would furnish hints TO Improvement
and aids TO progress, which, II adopted generally,
would increase the present value of farm produc-
ton to the extent of $500 O00O 600 1t would do more
it would tend to the increase of the fertility OF
the soil which, now, In nine farms out of ten, Is
annually decreasing, and it would proportionally
advance is intrinsic a. well as market value.
II is gratifying to believe. from indubitable evil
dence, the examples of rational and recuperative
culture relatively increasing however slowly,
and gradually making inroads upon the destructive,
irrational modes so generally prevalent. These cx-
amplcs most numerous in the Middle States,
seen with comparative frequency in the older
sections of the West arc found occasionally in New
England, and arc beginning to he noted i'm the South
ern States; but there is State In which exhaust

the cost of good land IL less than the interest on is
intrinsic value, and its yearly income may be en-
HANGED at the expense OF the permanent investment,
tncrc u iIltle nope tnat tne present necessity or
short-sighted greed will fail TO work its improve
ment; but with high prices, both of land and labor
II is more than folly to expect remuneratve profits
from unsystematic and tnscientiho culture.
After specifications, the Commissioner discusses
the subject OF industrial education. lie refer. to

THE value of child's life has been fixed
i'm one of the New York courts at 81 800.
A boy three years and two months old
having been run over and killed by
street car, suit for damages was brought
by his father, and after patient hearing
the amount stated was awarded, although
the defendants set up plea that in the
case of child so young there Is nothing
upon which the pecuniary injury 10 the
next in kin can 10y any possibility be esti-
mated There is something in this oblec-
tion-the value 10 the parent of the life Of
a babe in arms or little one just develop
ing into the charms and blossom Of child
hood, cannot be estimated-is, indeed, be-
yond all estimate, and for that very reason
we cannot but regard the verdict in the
case as simply inexplicahle. If one of
Boomers horses had been killed under pre-
cisely the same circumstances which at
tended the killing of this three-ycar old
boy. the damages would have been stated
at double or triple the figures named.-Es-

How MucH WORK HORSE CAN Do
At former meeting of the British Asso-
citation in Dublin, Mr.. Charles Bianeom,
of Cashel, read a paper relative 10 his ex-
tensiye car establishment, after which
gentleman stated that al Pickfords, the
great English carriers, they could not
work horse economically more than ten
miles day. and wished to hear Mr. Blan-
coni's opinion on the subject. Mr.. Blan
conf stated, he found, by experience, ne
could better work horse eight miles
day for six days in the week, than SIX
miles day for seven days In the week.
Nv rot working on a Sunday ne effected
saving of 10 FER cent. Mr.. Bianconis
opinion on this point is Of the highest an-
thority for although the extension OF rail-
ways in the land has thrown thirty-seven
of his vehicles out Of employ. which daily
ran 2.446 miles, still he has over nine hun
bred horses, working sixty convey
ances. which daily travel 4 ,e44 miles; Il Is
