The Harrisburg TfrgraPh says here
is statement which we find in an ex-
change, and which We suppose to be cor
rect although it will astonish most of our
readers: The fences of the United States
are estimated to have cost more than the
houses, cities included more than the
ships. vessels and boats of every descrip-
ton which sail on the ocean, lakes and
rivers more than our manufactures,
with all their machinery, and more titan
any one classs of property of real estate
excepted These are curious facts, but
they are facts nevertheless The fences
