Valuation of New York City.

New York appears to double its as
sessed valuation every fifteen years. At
least that has been the rule, starting
from 1941. Going thirty years further
back, the increase was still more rapid.
In 1911 New York had fairly distanced
Philadelphia in the number of its popu-
lation, and started as the first city of
the Union, with population of 1000,
and an assessed valuation of S25, 900, 600.
BY 1871 the population had nearly quad
rupled, while the assessed valuation had
increased tenfold, amounting then to
S251, 1914, 020. After an interval of fif-
teen years-in 1856-the population had
all but exactly doubled, and the assessed
valuation had doubled also-amounting
to S511, 74O, 492. The next fifteen years
added only 80 per cent. to the popula-
ton, but doubled the valuation of real
and personal property. In spite of sun
dry obvious obstacles to steadily main
tanned rate of increase, it is not too
much to anticipate that by 1886 the
gross assessment of property on Manhat-
tan Island will be over 81, 900, 600, 900.
Our fences are valued at one thousand
eight hundred millions of dollars, and
it costs ninety-eight millions of dollars
to keep them in repairs. Illinois has
two million dollars invested In fences,
sixty per cent. of which are boards,
post and rail, and forty per cent. wire
and hedges. These fences cost one hun
dred and seventy-fye thousand dollars
nanually for repairs.

Brooks. They scout the opinion advanced by
the report that congressman could have been

these two unless the other recreant members 60

The Eyangelicals.

New YORK, Oct. 10.
The delegates Of the Evangelical alliance
conference are very busy to-day. The first
section met in Association hall at 10 a. III.
and p. m, the second in st. Paul's
Methodist church at 10 II. IN. and 2 p. M,
the third in Fourth avenue Presbyterian
church at 10 II. m. and p. m. and the
fourth in the Madison Square church at
p. III. There will be German meeting
this evening in Association hall, and if the
attendance render it necessary the Fourth
avenue Presbyterian church will be opened
at the same time. The topic for discussion
at all the sections to-day is missionary
work. Tomorrow, Saturday, will be de-
voted to the closing business. Only one
session will be held in Association hall at
Up. III. On Sunday evening four public
meetings will be held, one at the Academy
OF Music, which will be the farewell SER
vices, for which tickets will be furnished.
At Association Hall to-day, after devotion
al services. paper was read by Rev.
Joseph Angus, ID. d., Regents Park, Lon
don, on the duty of the church in relation
to missions. The speaker said that more
was done in the last century to give the
Bible to the world than in the first ten cen
turtles. The prophecy of the conversion of
the world was being enforced 10y
the extent of the work done and the
success achieved. A paper on terri
torial divisions of missionary fields
of labor and missionary courtesy, written
by Rev. Rufus Anderson, d. d., of Bos-
tom was read by Rey. DR.. Clark. Fifty
six missionary societies are at work. from
all evangelical denominations in Christen-
dom, which spend over $5,0O0,0O0 ami
ally, and have 1000 ordained missionaries.
There is little to be apprehended from pa
pal opposition in barbarous nations, as ma
tives so learn to look ON them as of a diff
ferent religion. The obligations of sci
ence, literature and commerce to Christian
missions was the title of a paper by Rev
Thomas Eddy, ID. d., of New York. The
ringing of the anvil, and the smoke of the
furnace, and the white sails of commerce
follow the missionary. At Il session of the
second section an immense crowd assembled
at st. Paul's this morning. The first
speaker was Rev. Mr. Sheshadri, who
spoke of Christianity among the Hindoos.
If Mahomet should rise out of his ashes he
would be Mortified if Christianity as it ex-
lists in Tindostan was termed by us Chris
tianity. Time would fail him should he
try to tell the triumphs of the Gospel in
India. The immense audience was warn,
in their reception of the speaker and his
words.

MIppLEBuRY, Oct. o.

MIDDLEBuRy, Oct. o.
The annual grand hunt of the Middle
bury College boys came off to-day. Only
twenty-seven of the students took part in
the sport. Fourteen of them were under
the leadership of Capt. w. II. Hamilton
and thirteen under Capt. L. Baxter ii.
b. Sheldon, $. ID. Bragg and l.. Phelps
acted as judges. 1t was the understanding
that the party making the poorest run
should pay for the suppers, to which same,
at this writing, they are doing ample JUS
tice at mine host Riders. Bakers
party made a run of nineteen hundred and
fifty; IIamlton's, fifteen hundred and
thirty -seven. One of the Baxter boys, w.
Brown, tailed 2SS O. w. Dodge, of the
other side, 273.
The Nimrods brought in all manner
of game, everyspecies known in these parts
from chipmunk to fox. The day has
been all the boys could have desired, and
they have enjoyed the sport right well.
They spread themselves over the country
for miles abou. Middlebury and tonight
have keen appetite for the good things
Rider of the Addison House has spread
before them. The only accident reported
is the exploding of an overloaded gun,
fortunately the firer escaped injury, but was
pretty thoroughly frightened for a few
moments Everything has gone off nicely
and the college boys will long remember
with pleasure their grand hunt of '13
