CHURCH STATISTICS IN TIE UNITED
So STATES
From the New York Times.


The late session Of the Evangelical
Alliance in this city, the recent sessions
of separate denominations OF profess
ing Christians, and very recently the
letter of the Roman Catholic bishops
concerning education, have naturally
awakened much interest in regard to
the numerical and property standing of
the various religious denominations in
the country. To take this information
from the simple statements of the va
riOus sects would be to accept in each
case the testimony of an interested and
often partial witness. The superinten-
dent of the census, therefore, put aside
all reports, almanaCs, ycar-bOOks and
statements OF scctarian journals, and
went to work as it no enumeration was
in existence. 1t was not to be expect
ed that the account thus taken would
agree with the statistics put forth by
the denominations ; yet the agreement
Is 80 near as to amount to conclusive
proof Of the accuracy OF the census.
The religious statistics Of the last cen
Bus are much o complete than any
before taken, embracing churches and
organizations, sittings, Or (as we under
stand it) about the number of members,
and valuation of church property.
These returns we have elaborated in
the tables which follow with the view
OF giving an exhaustive analysis Of the
condition of various churches for three
GteCades-1850, 1850, and 1870. And first
us to membership.

PLANTING STRAwBERRIEs.-Mr. I.
SheIlswell, in the Cottage Gardener, has
tried the following method with great
success: The way in which | planted
my bed is as follows: [ did not Ht any
runners off the old beds, but allowed
them TO run into q mass In the autumn
/ lined strips about nine inches wide
and two feet apart through Its length,
and cut them in squares of nine inches.
These I took up with a spade at three
inches deep. In the bed prepared for
them I had trenches dug two feetsapart,
and placed the. squares of strawberry
roots in them, at o distance of eighteen
inches from each other. The roots were
not injured in the least, and the crop
was excellent. had the trenches that
were. made in the old bed filled with one
part weIl-rotted manure and two parts
stiff loan, and the bed was o cover
cd with plants. Thus, by degrees, you
can renew the old bed rs well as form
new ones. Certainly, with the old plan
of planting single roots, we obtained
finer specimens 6f fruit, but, unless fruit
for show is required, TadTise every one
to try the above plan for quantity, and
they will not be disappointed.

The Horny Hand.
From the Utica Herald.

from the Utica Herald.l
0, toiler with the moistened brow,
And with the horny hand.
No matter if you hold the pillow,
Or at the anvil stand,
Your heart should fill with lofty pride,
Your mission is SO grand.
My Father worketh hitherto,
And work." was the word
OF Him whose speech was ever true,
Yet honor claimed as God.
'Tis truly loyal then to toll
With hammer, brain or hod.
Until some patient toiler rise
With cunning hand or brain,
No telescope "a pierce the skies
No steamer cross the main;
Nor distant ends Of earth be linked
With telegraph and train.
The barren earth is clothed with bloom,
The desert bears the rose,
The darkest mine forsakes its gloom
And all its wealth out-thrOws,
And wond'rous fabrics fl | the loom
Where'er b toiler goes.
No l0rdly p~alace-hOme "a stand
On towering cliff or hill,
Without the masOn's trOweled hand,
Or builders cultured skill;
Yea. all the world of labor joins
Each palace-hOme to fill.
The toIlers-nOt the drones OF earth
Are worthy of renown;
These are the men OF noble birth
With hands begrimmed and brown;
And they-when reason has her reign
Will win and wear the crown.
The mai whose ever restless brain
Or sturdy, t0iling hand,
Has reared two blades OF useful grain
Where one alone did stand,
Shall have his well-deserved applause
From all, in every land.
All hail! then, to the horny hand,
And to the mOistened brow,
To those who at the anvil stand,
Or guide the cleaving pillow;
Inc uH4 WHGH IBUUT WENTS the TTUWu -
Is dawning even now!

Grand total.... 14,234,8 1875 19,12s,75l q, 665, Of

We have made n slight condensation
from the census by putting "Baptists,
regular" and Baptist, other" in one
line Baptist" The "other" were, in
1860, go, 142 in 1860, 1914 1867 and in 1870,
463,01O. We have also treated "Pres-
byterian" in the same way. In this
case the "Presbyterians, other" were, in
1850, ;10,189 in 1850, 477,111 ; and in 1870,
499, 344.
The table needs no explanation. We
have placed the denominations in the
order of their numerical strength in
1850, putting those organizations not
recognized as in some degree regular in
the line "all Others" which is explained
at the foot of the table. The Protest
ant sects of Methodists, Baptists, and
Presbyterians hold their pre-eminence
at the head. The rapid growth of the
Roman Catholics will be noted, as also
the falling away of Quakers and Uni
versalists. But these facts will be bet
ter understood by the next table, show

The largest proportionate increase in
the twenty years is the Roman Catho-
lies. This is readily accounted for by
reference to the records of immigration.
Setting off the Roman Catholics from
all other countries as equal in number
to the Protestants from North Ireland,
we assume that the entire Irish immi-
grafton are Catholics. The number of
Irish immigrants in twenty years was
1,713,548. That accounts for the rapid
growth of the Roman Catholic Church.
The next table presents a general view
of the number of organizations, and
pretty nearly of church buildings, in
the United States at the last three CEN
sus periods:
