Annexation.

New York and Brooklyn are moving To-
wards a union of the two cities, ana move
ment is on foot for the annexation OF a por-
tion of Westchester county to New York.
On Wednesday evening OF this week, the
Joint committee on this question made re-
mort favorable to the union, in which the fol-
lowing statement in regard to the density Of
population of several cities is made-viz.:
Chicago has population of only 1,341 to the
square mile, San Francisco of 1861; Boston
2,27S; Philadelphia, $500; London, 26,653;
Pekin, China, 28,393; Paris 30,15O, white
New York has population of AZ. S29 to the
square mile. The population of the built-up
portion of the city is still more, namely, ST.
900 persons to the square mile. Portland
1.-THE islands excepted) has an area of less than
and 2-3 square miles, and population of
over $4,000 to the square mile.
The following observations made by this
committee are worthy the attention of the
people of Portland:
An eminent authority on the movement of
population has stated that New York annually
loses 10000 inhabitants who cannot find suta-
bic homes oG this island, and who seek resi-
dences in the neighboring cities Of New Jersey.
Those who thus leaving New York have
been accustomed to city life, and seek, in
their compulsory exile. the advantages of NUM-
cipal administration to meet the wants of
homes for this valuable class of the population
annually leaving us in such numbers. 1t is,
therefore, proposed to increase the territorial
limits of this city by annexing to it the towns
of Morrisania, West Farms, and Kings Bridge
in the county of Westchester. This district
seems to have been intended by nature as the
territory upon which New York can overflow.
Its westerly boundary is the Hudson aud Har
lem Rivers, nearly all of which affords a navi-
gable water front, which will itself add ten
miles to the dockaee facilities New York
city, from the north to the Bronx River; a Sc
ries of ridges, all running southerly, extend to-
ward the city, having between them broad
plains upon which the homes of the people can
be bui It, and at the same time opening out up
on the Harlem River, Kilns, and Long Island
Sound, iu such a manner as 20 cause a natural
drainage into tide water
The adoption of tue measure will afford
homes where "the grass is green and the air
pure" at cost which will put them within
reach of the working men. That city is in a
dangerous condition that has no middle class to
stand as a check upon the pride and avarice of
the rich, and the resulting envy and lowliness
of the very poor. Without more territory New
York is fast becoming such city, and for this
reason above all others, we advocate annexa-

The resolution, in the National Board of
Trade. by Mr.. Dorr, of Buffalo, asking Con-
gress to clean out the Detroit river, suggests
the peoloocaI fact that the time is coming
when there will remain no natural connection
between Lake Huron and Lake Erie. In
other words, nature is at work destroying the
single water route which Chicago now has to
the sea. 1t is within the memory of man
that Lake st. Clair has shrunken in its d-
mensions, and is being surely and rapidly en-
croached on by the uprising shores. 1t is
entirely within the prescience of the scientific
prophet that Chicago will, one day, stand on
bluffs hundred feet above the water, of the
lake, while the adjacent pralries will be wood

The efficacy of Perry Davis world-renowned Pain

1t is impossible to find place this broad land
