Eggs ana Egg Culture.
Boston Cultivator!


The traffic in eggs in this country is
estimated, by competent, authorities, to
equal $3.50, ZOO, 900 per annum. New York
received in a single year 100000 barrels
of eggs, valued at $1,000, 900. In 1877
there were exported from this country
5,202 ,205 dozen eggs, valued at $66S, ,701.
1t is claimed that Philadelphia consumes
daily $4,000 dozen eggs. The approxi-
mate receipts of eggs in Boston for the
year 1873 have been as follows: 107, 1927
cases, containing 49 dozen each; 43 900
boxes, containing 100 dozen each, and H.
783 barrels containing 20 dozen each.
These figures give, as a result, 168 ,410
packages, containing 6, ,515, ,652 dozen eggs,
or rs, ,187 1886 single eggs. 1t is estimated
that fully 50 per centum of all receipts are
consumed in Massachusetts, and that
about so per centum are consumed in and
near Boston. In nearly all small towns
and villages enough eggs are raised to
supply the local demand. The number of
eggs consumed in this State, when COM
puted, is found to be at an average of 81
eggs per year to every inhabitant, or one
egg per week. All these eggs come to
Boston from various sections, in about
the following proportions: Eastern eggs,
mostly from Maine by boat and rail, at all
seasons of the year. "A per centum of total
receipts; northern eggs, from Northern
New York and Canada, 81 per centum
/ P. E. 1. eggs, from Prince Edwards Is
| land, between the months of April and
/ November, IL per centum; western eggs,
| 10 per centum; and southern eggs, from
| Virginia during a few weeks in the
| Spring, per centum. OF the northern
| eggs the greater parts comes from Canada
and this trade is constantly increasing. A
single Boston firm, the largest receiver o.
eggs in this market, handled nearly 600,
600 dozen eggs last year.

The embarrassment of the widow of
Bayard Taylor, mention of which has
been made in an official communication of
the Secretary of State to the Senate, arises
from the large expenses incurred in rent
ing and furnishing the house for the use
of the Minister and the Legation in Ber-
lin. AS there was no ''outfft,'' this ex-
pense falls heavily upon Mrs. Taylor, es-
pecially as she is bound by the lease. The
sacrifices she will be called to make, in
her circumstances, are very embarrassing,
and it would be only fair for Congress to.
grant the relief requested.-C Commercial.

The President approved the act author
izing the Secretary of War to erect head
stones over the graves of the Union SOL
diers who had been inferred in private,
village, or city cemeteries. The act au-
thorizes the Secretary of War to use in
this work, so much of the 81 ,OOO, 900 ap-
preparation of 1873, for placing head
stones to the graves of Union soldiers who
were inferred in national military ceme-
taries, as remain unexpended.

The latest greenback idiocy is that $40
OOO, 900 should be issued in legal-tender
notes to pay the arrearages of pensions.
That done, they would want $50, ,OOO, 900
formud walls along the Mississippi, and
$4,000, 900 for canals between the head
waters of unnavigable rivers, and $84,-
900, 900 for cotton tax to be refunded and
then there would be no use to tax any
body. The way to produce money would
be to ''stomp it. "-C Cincinnati COMMERCIAL.

M'Kimie and New York Charlie Sen.
Genceds

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
HLLsBoRo, o., Feruary 1g.-McKimie
was brought into Court this morning,
and by advise of his counsel, pleaded
guilty to two indictments-the first being
for the Roads robbery, and the other the
Redkey store burglary in Rainsboro. On
the first he received a sentence of five
years and on the second three years in
the Penitentiary. He also agreed to plead
guilty to the Ross County Indictment, and
will be taken there next week for that
purpose. This leaves the Pike County
Indictment still hanging over him, the
other Indictment here for shooting with
intent to kill being nollied. New York
Charlie, alras Charles Howard, who was
implicated in the Redkey Burglary, was
also brought into Court to-day and plead
ed guilty. He was sentenced to four
years in the penitentiary. McKimie and
Charley are both highly elated, as they
expected much heavier dose. In con-
sideration of their pleading guilty, and
saving the county the heavy expense of
trials, it was thought best to get them to
do so, and the sentences were thus made
lighter in consideration of that being
done.

Close calculations are being made as to
the next census. There is reason to be-
will be shown to be nearly forty-eight
millions. There must be more members
of Congress, or the Representatives must
represent more people. One calculation
is, that under the present apportionment
the South will gain nineteen members of
Congress and the North forty-seven. It
is our impression that the proportion of
the Solid South to the whole country will
be reduced to a greater extent than these
figures imply. Commercial.

Tax Titles

The following circular sent out by Au-
ditor of State Williams to County Audi
tors, will be of interest alike to people
whose property has been sold at tax sales,
and to those who hold titles:
Under the laws existing prior to July
1, 1873, the purchaser of tax sale, or
holder of a tax certificate, is entitled to
% or so per cent, penalty on all that was
paid according as the lands and lots were
redeemed within one year, or if over one
year and within two years; but on the
first day of July, 1873, the act to F'amend
and revise the statutes relating to taxa
tion,'' ETC.. (ehap. T.. Delinquent Lands,
page 487, o. L., vol. 75) went into effect;
this act prescribed different penalty,
viz: Is and % per cent. for one orstwo
years as the case may be. Now, on the
taxes becoming due and payable after
July 1st, 1873, and (which were or may be
paid by the holders of certificates of tax
articles, purchased before that time, the
holders are not entitled to receive or ex-
ceed Is per cent. penalty, if in one year
from the payment of such, or % per cent.
if over one year and within two years,
and the person or persons desiring to re-
deem can only be required to deposit ac-
cordingly.

way his great namesake, also of Ken

Boone divides them between the inte-

Boone divided them between the ribs.

we believe a restrictive license would be
better than the present mode of trying to
restrict the traffic, we do not want any
license in the Constitution at all. We
want local option; but where the people
vote in favor of the traffic let the legisla-

well regulated license sYstem.

had any sheep killed by the worthless
''purps' that prowl about the sheep pas
