THE Irish agricultural statistics for
1882 have been recently published in
Dublin. United Ireland, the organ Of
the Land League, makes the following
excerpts from and comments on its con-
tents: 1.-The main fact which they
emphasize is that the extent of land
under crops has decreased from $780,
S75aeres in 1881 to 5,0Sl ,O4S acres in the
present yesr-being decrease Of ll4,-
327 acres Of crops. The acreage under
grass, on the contrary, has increased
from 1O,075, 424 acres in 1881 to 10,l1O,-
O72, being an increase of 1865 acres.
Thus of the ll4,327 acres distracted
during the year from the sup
port Of man, S4,655 were given
to the support of beasts, and the re-
.mainder must have fallen away into
barrenness, for we find the return OF
bog, marsh and barren mountain land
increased from 4, 70S, 047 acres in ISL to
l. Isl. 275 in 1882. Another frightful
fact disclosed by the statistics Is that OF
the decrease Of 1901 acres Of land
under hllage this year as compared
with last. Ulster is charges with no
less than 4O,55s acres Of the decrease
the decrease in the acreage Of fax alone
being SO, 64S in one year. The sppall-
ing picture ofdecay presented by these
figures is only heightened when We
find that the aeresgs under crops has
been steadily declining from 5,204.sO5
acres in 1878 to 5,Osi,05s in 1852, or
barely one-fOurth Of the land Of the
country

Garfield County Seat Election.

Late on Tuesday night we received the
following telegram:
PoMERoY, Jan. 10, 1882.
EpIroR TELLER, Lewistou;-Pomeroy.
4l9; Assotin, $50; Pataha, 23s; Mentor, 81.
This is within half dozen Of right.
REPUBLICAN.
Thus it would seem that Pomeroy won
the victory. as a plurality vote elects under
The law. Pomeroy managed the matter but
too shrewdly. by encouraging division Of
the votes against thai place, among several
other points. Could the Assotin, Pataha
and Mentor votes been consolidated upon
any one Of the rival points Pomeroy would
have been left out in the cold. A little sa.
gacity could have forstold the effect Of q
split. The vote as reported shows 1924
votes in the county. II the ratio Of
vote to population be no larger than in the
Atlantic States, that county must have up
wards Of 5000 inhabitants, good show
ing for newly organized county. and w
know it has fine agricultural territory t.
support it. and We predict for it much pro
gress and prosperity in the near future.
