Arranging the Census.

How SUPT. PORTER HAS DIVIDED
New ENGLAND INTO DISTRICTS.
WASHINGTON, DC, July 5.--The
superintendent of the census has di-
vided New England into census dis
tricts as follows:
Maine.-Two districts, the line running east
of Somerset, Kennebec and Sagadahoc coun-
ties; population in 1850, 299, sos
New Hampshire.-One district; population
in 1880, SAG, 991.
Vermont.-One district; population in 1880,
1872 2S5.
Observation-Disclosures district: population
, in 1880, |, 1888 ,0S5; in 1885, ,942 ,141.
Rhode Island.-One district; population in
1880, ,531.
Connecticut.-Two districts, the line run
ming west of Hartford and Middlesex counties
population in 1880, 500, 700
The estimated increase in popula-
ton, for the decade, as indicated at
the census bureau, is about 80 per
cent. A supervisor will be appointed
for each district next year, men who
acted as supervisors in 1880 being
preferred. Each supervisor of the
census will receive S125, and, in addi-
ton thereto, in thickly settled districts,
81 for each thousand or majority frac-
ton of the population enumerated in
his district, and in sparsely settled
districts, S1.40 for each thousand or
majority fraction of thousand of the
population enumerated in such dis
trict, such sums to be in full compen-
sation for all service rendered and ex-
penses incurred by him, except that
an allowance for clerk hire may be
made at the discretion of the superin-
tendent of census. No supervisor will
be paid less than the sum of $500.
The supervisors will appoint the ex-
aminers, who will be paid according to
the number Of names collected.

HOPE FOR VERMONT FARMERS
Although large tracts of Western lane
are yet to be thrown open to settle.
ment, it is expected that the next cen.
sus will show that the public domain is
practically exhausted an area equiva-
lent to the aggregate of Germany and
France and double that OF Great Bri-
tain and Ireland having been made
productive within ten years. Mil
lions of acres yet will remain unoccu-
pied; but they are poorly fitted for
mans use and are not likely for many
years to come to be made the subject
of attempts to render them productive.
1t is evident, therefore, that with the
public domain occupied, there must be
a turn in the tide, which must newt
ably raise the value of farming lands
In the East. When once Western
farms cannot be obtained for the bare
cost OF surveys, Eastern farmers will
be less likely to emigrate to the West
and healthy demand must be created
for farming lands in Vermont and
other eastern States. The increase of
population in the West will also tend
to decrease the amount of shipments
to the East, owing to the greater home
consumption ia the West and this
will be benefit to the East by stimu-
lating increased production here, aud
must add to the value of farms in
Vermont and other Eastern States
Vermont farmers have every reason to
view the future with confidence and
hope.-IPutland Herald.

The brutal prize fight between the
notorious John Sullivan and another
of his ilk, Jake Kilrain, came off al
Richburg, La, Monday. There were
loud protests from the newspapers OF
the country against allowing such a
diSgraceful affair to take place, and ii
was thought that perhaps those in
authority would prohibit the fight.
Aside from the issuing of a formal
proclamation by the Governor, there
was no interference, and thousands of
men were allowed to see these brutes
pummel each other, and not until 76
rounds were fought and Sullivan de-
clared the victor, did the battle end.
Notwithstanding the apparent interest
manifested in this affair, we believe
that public sentiment is strongly
against sports of this character, and
that the time is not far distant when
they will be thoroughly prohibited.

cannot stand continued cropping Sup
plement the pastures with soiling crops,
He preferred for soiling crops, first, rye
for the second crop, oats and peas; and
common field corn for the third.
Col. Hooker gave an eloquent address
upon farm life. He considered the care
of the health the first great essential to
success upon the farm; he believed in
pure air and water. Let the house be
well ventilated and do away with screens
and allow the flies to come in, as thew are
for purpose. Do not allow vegetables
to remain in the cellar without ventiIa-
tlon-let ventilating tubes run from the
cellar out of doors. Be regular in your
meals and also in feeding stock. Do
away with pastry; If all the wheat flour
could be kept out of the State for ten
years, at the end of that time there would
not be doctor within our borders. Let
meat and potatoes and cornmeal bread be
your diet 800 days in the year. In stock,
keep one good. sound brood mare and
raise colt each year. If each farmer
would keep one good brood mare and
few sheep for raising early lambs, all the
hogs which can be kept well and clean,
aud few good butter cows, Vermont
would be one of the richest states in the
Union.
