A Pioneer-Press reporter recently OBJ
tanned some interesting figures from the

have been completed. This does not
include the Bishop Ireland colony, 49,
OOO acres more, the Odd Fellows Col
ony of three townships, nor the Red
Wing settlement i'll this and adjoining
counties, embracing about 1000 acres.
Gen. Bishop reports that the earn
ings of the road for the past three
months have been 10 per cent. greater
titan for the corresponding months of
1877, and for March they were 10 per
cent. more than for March of the pre-

It is a little curious to notice that Germany
has outstripped Ireland in the work of filling
up the empty places in this country. The
statistics of immigration for the last thirty
years, compiled by Superintendent Jackson,
show that those countries have furnished
more than 100000 immigrants each, but
that Germany is more than 100000 ahead OF
Ireland

Tt was not believed that the Paris Exh1bi-

the government commissioners already feel
that they are out Of financial difficulty The

The Western farmers hope for good results
from the congressional appropriation of S1O,-
600 to investigate the diseases Of swine. The
so-called hog-cholera causes an estimated
loss OF $2.0OO,OOO a year to the farmers Of
Missouri and Illinois alone, and though the
Legislature of the former State offered re-
ward of $4,000 for the discovery Of specific
remedy for the disease, no such remedy has
ever been discovered.

The virtue of some of the English hard
ware manufacturers, according to the London
Engineer, is being severely tried by the de

American asserts that edge-tools and Cottons
