NEWSPAPERS OF To-DAY-People gen orally, and even those who may be termed steady readers and close observers, have but faint conception of the magnitude and influence tue press of this country has attained From careful examination of the advance pages of the 1885 edition of the American Newspaper Directory, is- sued May 1st, by Geo. P. Powell X Go, of New York, it appears that there are IA, 147 newspapers and periodicals published in the United States and Canada; of these the United States has F, ,973, an average of one paper for every 3,867 persons. In 1884 the total number of newspapers was less by 823 than at present, and while the gain this year is not so marked as in some previous years, 1t is still considerable. Kansas shows the greatest increase, the number being IS, while Illinois follows with gain of IT. It is curious to notice that New York, the scene of so much po- litical activity during the last campaign, should have only about one-third as many new papers as the state of Pennsylvania
 As an index to the comparative growth and prosperity of different sections of the country, especially the territories, the number of new papers forms an interest
 ing study, and may well occupy the at tention of the curious.

Waterbury American The fox has heretofore been reported as cunning, but it has at length been outwitted by the shrewdness of Daniel Burton of Camp vile, Conn.,, and had to break camp and go into close confinement at his command. The facts in the case age these: MT. Bur- ton recently discovered den of young foxes on his farm, so situated that they could not easily be dug out, and with some effort succeeded ill trapping one of them. He then set his wits together to devise some method by which he might more readily capture the remainder, and hit upon and put ill execution the plan of at taching line to fish-hook and batting the hook with small piece of fresh meat, and casting it into the den, where he soon had bite, and succeeded in drawing forth lively young fox, which was easily secured. The hook was again baited, and fox after fox was drawn to the surface, each one making his individual protest of such informal proceedings, until nine more had been drawn and bagged, when, arriving at the conclusion that s'it wasn't much of hole for foxes after all, opera tions were discontinued, no odd SOy) Fox having come to the spread, or put in an appearance to report the number of fox families occupying the ''f1at." MT. Burton has the eleven foxes alive on exhi- bition and for sale.
