the result of the census-and there are some of them in this state-can now fall back upon the directory. What it is capa- ble of in the way of remarkable exhibi-' tions of mathematics is beginning to be demonstrated, and the town that cannot now prove that 1t has grown fifty per cent. since last summer "isn't in it,' as the small boy says.-Neao BsstGin Herald.
 MARSHALL PAss.-The Great Divide in it's August number gives an art supple ment in seven different colors, showing Marshall Pass, the. longest, loftiest and widest of the Rocky Mountains. The Great Divide artist spent three weeks in camp on the spot, making sketches, talk ing photographs and painting studies, from which this magnificent picture of the scene, as it actually exists, was made. The cart supplement- is worth a whole years subscription to the journal whose enter prise has produced it. The literary fea- lures of this number are up to it's high standard; the illustrations are copious and exceedingly handsome. The picture of the snow tunnel near Ouray, Colorado, Is the first ever made, and graphically H. lustrates a wonderful formation, namely, a tunnel existing in midsummer in the snow, through which four-horse coaches are driven, on the much travelled Silverton and Ouray toll road. This August num- Der will be sent on application to the pub fishers at Denver, Colorado, on receipt of only ten cents. -'."
 It Is to be feared that, unless the na- tional government or some patriotic order like the Sons of the Revolution comes to It's rescue, the famous site of Washing tons encampment at Valley Forge, the spot around which cluster some of the most memorable and trying times of the revolution, will be divided up and sold, and in this way it's preservation as 8 whole to the nation and state will be lost. The tract itself is situated in one of the most picturesque valleys of Pennsylvania, close to Valley Forge Station, on the main line of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad, and twenty-three miles from the city of Philadelphia. -s. ......-5.. .....
 Upon the tract Is located the site of Fort Washington, the ramparts of which are still visible, and from this point the country on all sides for many miles can be seen, and the visitor, standing within the fort, can readily realize the greatness of Gen. Washington as 8 master of the science of defensive warfare and his skill as an engineer. -@t s.
 Upon the grounds are the remains of the intrenchment erected in TIT and IT'S, the site of Washington's headquarters in 1777, the Cold Spring, we'll known in his tory; the site of the Valley Forge, first built in 1757; the site of the artificers' Maxwell's and Woodford's troops and the spot where Washington was found pray ing during the trying times from Decem- Der 17, 1777, to June, 177S, at this camp.
 The census bureau, having had all the mortgages of record of June 1, 1890, look ed up, has sent to each owner of mort gagged property blank to be filled out, by which the actual amount due on the mortgage at that date may be stated thus correcting the record, which stands for the full sum until the whole is dis charged. .t.
