Fences in the United States.

The latest and most reliable statistics
furnished by the U. s. Agricultural Bu-
reau show that in the United States
there are ESQ, 505,8l4 acres of land en-
closed by fences. The total length Of
fences standing on this land is / ,619, 2OO,-
600 rods. This fence costs, excepting
near the great pineries of the country
from $1.25 to $500 per rod. Taking the
lowest figure of $1.25, the total cost for
fences now standing in this country,
the amount of the national debt. This
enormously costly property is wearing
out, rotting out, and burning out at the
rate of over $2o0,0o0,O00 per annum.
This, too, is only one item of the burthens
the farmers of the United States have to
bear. Is 1t TO be wondered at that so
many farms are suffering under the bane-

Improving the Mississippi.

The chamber of commerce of st. Paul
has sent out call for q convention in
that city on the 18th of October, to 60
cure united action upon the part Of west
ern people in behalf of the improve
ment Of the Mississippi river from St.
Paul to the Gulf. In the preamble Of
the call the chamber Of commerce Gets
forth the fact that the great wheat pro-
ducing states of the Union are in the
Mississippi valley-the state of Mime
sofa heading the column with &c, 000, 900
bushels, Iowa following with "a, OO0. 900
bushels, Illinois 81, O00, 900 bushels, Wis.
consin $4,000, 900, Missouri $4,000, 900
|-aggregating nearly $50, 000, 900 bushels,
or nearly one-half of the entire product
of the United States, which is estimated
at 325, OO0, 900 bushels. The wheat pro-
duct Of the New England states 10 esti-
mated as barely sufficient to supply them
with bread three weeks, that of the state
of New York six months, Pennsylvania
and Ohio twelve months, leaving the
states of the Mississippi valley the great
and almost only exporting states of
wheat; and, furthermore, that the Mis-
sissippi river is the trunk line for heavy
transportation, upon which the whole
country must depend ~ check upon
exorbitant freights, which consume the
fruits of our industry, and cause US to
pay higher prices for all we consume,
and receive lower prices for all We sell.
In view of these facts the st. Paul cham
Der of commerce declares 1t the duty OF
the general government to make this
great highway of commerce navigsble
with minimum Of five feet of water
from st. Paul to the Gulf Of Mexico,
and to do it ss speedily and with as little
red tape as possible.-Burliagten Hoax

AnecdOte of Paley.

The career of Paley presents an instance
of the saving power of proper word
spoken at the proper time.
It is q well known fact that in
his earlier days Paley was some
what wild. Yet for all this, he
held his place at the head of every class
of which he was a member, besides rem
dering assistance to classmates who was
not so fortunately endowed by nature.
Among his warm and devoted friends
was the young and wealthy Viscount
