Up to October 25 there we're 1850
oranges or the Patrons of Husbandry
IN operation. The West had 6.OOl. the
South 2,478, while the North had

bring large additions to the order in
the Eastern States, while the West
has about reached its full tide. iit
Hugh McCulloch, of Jay Cooke
McCulloch 4 Co., OF Lcndon. sailed
for England on Saturday. The Gsm

Four hundred and sixty thousand
Immigrants arrived in the United
States for the year ending in June
last. This shows an increase Of sc, 900
over any previous year. Of these
q 600 were from Ireland, "a. 900 from
England. and 10000 from Germany.
Some Of our country exchanges ad
vertise the fact that their newspapers
are mainly used as stuf6ng for ladies'
bustles. If some of the editors bus
tied about more and furnished more
interesting stufing for their columns,
their issues might not be devoted to
such purposes of deformity.
The Republican canvass in Texas is
going on vigorously, with strong hopes
of re-electing Governor Davis. The
fact that the last Democratic Legisla-
ture, substantially put an end to the
tree school system of the State, shut
ting the school house on 4OO, 600 chill
dren, is exciting great feeling among
the people.
The colored vote in Virginia has
fallen off more than 10000 since 1869.
1t is due to emigration-to the migra. :
tory habits of the negroes, which
changes their places Of voting and
renders re-registration and transfers
necessary--and to the extraordinary
efforts at intimidation and bribery
resorted to by the Democrats in the
recent eiectlOn.
Who does not reverence old age.
especially when it retains the freshness
of youth? Judge James De Mott.
aged SO, was married in Ovid. Senaca
county, New York, a few days since,
to Rachel Covert, aged Y. The dame
is the Judg 8 third wife, and the Judge
is the danes fifth husband. It seems
to be rather than else case of the
ruling passion strong in -; but
never mind. We do not wish to say
anything disagreeable about so aus
picious an event.
The lows City press. copying the re-
cent note to the Republican from w.
Waddingham, which stated that the
paper had been delivered at the corner
Of Main and Mullanphy streets for fifty
two years, proposes that "the newspa-
per men of the Northwest contribute
nickles enough to mOnumentally hon
or the old fellow who took his paper
for fiity-two years, and paid for it like
a man." The Press suggests as an
epitaph the following: Here lies
semicentenial subscriber, who read
his own newspaper, and let his neigh
bors do the same. He paid his sub
scription, and of such is the Kingdom
of Heaven"
The Cincinnati Enquirer refuses to
be cOmforted. 1t is bedizened with
war paint, and howls and stamps for
revenge because a few cut-throats we're
shot in Cuba the other day. It takes
Senators Morton and Sherman to
task for intimating that the country is
not in financial condition to 90 to
war, and calls it "a sickly excuse" It
says Great Britain is but shell CON-
pared with this country, and her ma
tional debt Eve times greater" Yet
| we have dim Tecolleetion that the
Enquirer was once of that class of
journals that thought the American
debt quite large eHOugh.-Ipd. Jour
