Foreign immigration still contin-
tlnues to exhibit a decided decline,
the arrivals at New York in April
having been 5,065 loss than for the
corresponding month last year. The
causes are well known and it is not
necessary to repeat them. There is
no prospect Of o revival before the
return of general business prosperity
throughout the republic, the great
numbers now out of employment
causing tho most discouraging reports
to be sent to Europe. The emigra.
ton to California by rail is chiefly
composed of our own people.
Whether the decline is perm anent
remairs to be seen, but it is very
clear that tho injury done to the
lmm'gr mt business is deep seated
and not to be easily rcmedied.

THE SABBATH SCHOOLS OF THE
COUNTY.


All christians. and especially, all who
are engaged in sabbath school work.
will be interested 70 learn of the con-
dition and progress of the sabbath
schools of the county. / have in my
hands the reports received by Mr. Gage
in 1872, and have prepared from them
and the reports received this year, the
following comparative statistics. Thir-
ty-four schools in all have this year
sent in reports up to this time. In the
file of 1872 l find twenty-nlne of the
same schools reporting. The aggregate
average attendance in these schools the
past year is reported to have been 1898.
The same schools report in 1872, 1895.
making gain of %. Seven of these
schools report loss in the average at
tendance of rs in all /; consequently
there has been a gain in the remaining
twenty-five schools of 176, or an aver
age of to school. In some of the
schools the gain has been very great
The number of conversions reported
from these schools in 1872 was 43. The
same schools this year report 27O con-
versions. OF the 43 reported in 1872,
Ia were in one school-East Albany.
Sixteen schools that year reported no
conversions, the remaining 20 CONVEX
sions reported being distributed among
IL schools. This year, Of these twenty
nine schools, only three report no con-
versions. The largest number reported
from any one school is 40 in the school
at West Glover. 8IktEHE
From the five remaining schools re-
porting this year, one reports no con-
versions; the remaining four reporting
an aggregate of As, making the whole
number reported from thirty -four schools
3lS. Every school with one exception,
uses the uniform lessons
This is certainly most encouraging
condition of things. 1t is evident that
God is working by His spirit in the
sabbath schools, and blessing the efforts
of those who are striving to honor His
name and advance His cause by labors
in this branch of his moral vineyard.
1t is to be regretted that reports were
not received from all the schools in the
county, and the attention of Superin.
tendents throughout the county is called
to the subject. If those who have not
reported this year will write me, giving
their p o. address, / will see that the
proper blanks are furnished them fol-
next years report. Let US all enter up
on the labors of the new year, encour

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
NEW YORK, Dec. %, 1875

NEW YORK, Dec. %, 1875.
Ed. Monitor :: They say that "a
green Christmas makes fat church

Compliant cemeteries in this vicinity, for
certainly The balmy air at this writing
savOrs of Spring rather than December.
One can hardly suppose that New York
is so small or SO quiet place as to be
entirely overlooked by the clerk of the
weather, and as the familiar proximity
of the Jersey shore forbids the SUPPOSE
ton that Manhattan has suddenly been
translated to those tabled "Isles of the
Blest," where Winters blasts are IN
known, the only plausible theory left is
that the aforesaid clerk, under the con-
fusing influence of holiday cOnvivalIty.
has stuck into old Father Knickerbock-
er's stocking the Christmas gift intended
for the Bermudas. 1t is very pleasant
mistake for us, though, and l only fear
that seeing this letter, and being remind
ed of his error, he will send our aspiring
mercury down to keep company with
that of our neighbors.
But it is an i'll wind that blows no.
body good, and frosty air and carpet of
snow can come none too soon for those
gay sleighs that line the walks in front
of stables and carriage bazaars. These
have waited leng for their opportunity,
and now, with their gracefully curving
fronts and swan-head ornaments, they
look for all the world like lot of big
turkey cocks strutting proudly in the
face of heaven to provoke the storm that
is to raise them from contact with igno-
BILE planks and stones that will bring
out the bells and the bellies; that will
