We learn by disps. cnes fiJm Washington
that Gen. Francis A. Walker, Superintendent
of Census, is vigorously pushing forward the
preliminary work of his Office, and completing
as rapidly az practicable the classification of
subjects to be confided to the charge of special
lists. Mr.. +. II. Wines, Secretary of the Illinois
State Board of Charities, has been en-
gagged to conduct the inquiries respecting
the blind, deaf, and dumb idiots, in
mates Of prisons and reformatories, etc,
The statistics relating to these classes
have hitherto been so defective that, az Gen.
Walker expressed it, they were not worth print
ing. Not only is this true, but like all other
worthless statistics they were worse than use
less, because they have been quoted and false
conclusions built upon them. An important
feature Of the new Census law is that which re-
qures the Superintendent to obtain the facts
relating to the condition of each railroad
corporation, and to the condition, char
acterstcs, and operations of each rail
road The schedules for these inquiries
have already been prepared, aud are now being
sent out. II anything like full replies are re-
ceived, the people OF the United States will be
placed in possession Of mass Of most com
plete and valuable information respecting rail
roads to be found in any country. Gen. Walker
says that he finds the matter of obtaining sta
tistics OF State, county and municipal debts the
most diff cult and Important of any with which
he will have to deal No plan for gathering
this class Of statistics has yet been determined
upon.

said, that l saw a day of sunshine. 1t was

He describes the crops in England as ruined

condition is not much better. The soil is full
of moisture. This misfortune will benefit the
American farmer. The demand from Europe
for grain will be immense, and draw heavily on
the magnificent crops here

Mr.. Joseph b. Frye, a Boston man of
considerable wealth, was murdered two or three
weeks ago in manner 30 mysterious as to baf-
fie the ingenuity of the best detective talent,
and for while it looked as if the authors Of the
foul deed would never be brought TO justice. But
the mystery has been cleared up by the confess
sion Of the murderers The murdered man
was alone in his house on the night of the
tragedy, his family being absent from the
city, and had invited three BARRIERS, Greek
and two Italians, to spend the evening
with him. He had somehow contracted
q liking for these people, who were vastly
his interiors in every respect, and through the
frequent visits of one of them to the house
in tonsorial capacity the trio of assassins
gained knowledge or the presence of rich
plumber on the premises. His good-natured
entertainment of the villains gave them the OPP
portunity they sought, and, after partaking of
his hospitality for an evening, they murdered
him in the most horrible and fendish manner
stabbing him nearly to death with pair of
BARRIERS shears, and then finishing him of with
bullet in the head.
