ALBANY REGISTER. f General .1. P. Orterliaiw, our CodmiI at I.y.ms, France, lias fur nisheil ihe Agrtonltuml Department tome statemeids relative to poultry raising in Krai.ce u-liich may lie ot interest to our reader. He sav that wmtitry teeds 40,000 000 heus ai.niia ly, worth a total of about 100,000,000 rramw The practice of making capons (emas culatii j the males) is very common, and the female ar also rendered incail)lc of breeding, being unsexed the Preiauh use in this connection the term rtformt and in tlia' con dition they are known upotjardea. This give thera a tendency to fat ten, and is done when they do not promise promise well for laying, or have ceased to In? fertile. Pul lets of the largest breeds are gener ally selected tor this purpose. About one-fifth of the 40,000.000 hens are so treated, and yield, at the above quotation, 20 000,000 francs. Besides the ponlardes, 2,000,000 capons are annually sold, yielding 5,000,000 francs. The 400,000,000 atock hens produce every year at least 100,000,000 young chickens. If, of this immlx-r, 10,000,000 are allowed to replace the one-tith sac rificed to Epicurus, and another 10,000,000 fin- various casualties, there remain 80,000,000 spring chickens, which, sold at 1 franc 50 centimes, (30 cent,) represent the gum of 1 20,000 ,000 francs. For the sake ot accuracy, the enhanced value of the poulardes and capons must be taken into the account; this ia not less than 6,000,000 francs, and raises the aggregate realized annually from the sale of the vari ous kinds ol chickens to 151.000,000 francs. Estimating the other pro ducts of the 40 000 000 stock hens I at 240,000.000 rancs, we have a grand total of 391,000,000 franca, ($74,000,000,) which the clnckens of the i' renoh tarmers annually yield to them. A new combination in the Atlan tic and l'acitic 1L It. Co. on the 9th, is the result of a trip from which .1 Edgar Thompson, Presi dent of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, has just returned, in which he went over the completed portion of the road to Venita, In dian Territory, the point of juncture of tlie Atlantic and Pacific road with the Missouri, Kansas and Tex as road. Mr. Scott, the new Presi dent, is now in Europe on business connected with the foreign debt ot the Texas and Pacific road, but will probably return immediately upon receiving notification ot the new arrangement. The Directory is now composed of some of the heaviest railroad men in the East Mr. Thompson, Mr. Scott, a- d Mr. Solomon, of the Pennsylvania Cen tral. The latter is financial agent of that Company. Alfred T. De vine is 'resident of the united rail roads ot New Jersey, and the New York connection of the Pennsylva nia Central. Besides these, Gener al Fisk, the new Treasurer, states that a number ot heavy capita ists of other railroads have taken large interests in the Atlantic and Pacific. Iu consequence of this combination, the line ot the Texas Pacific road will probably be deflected north ward, and form a connection with the 35th parallel road at a point between Alta Querqu, New Mexico, and the southern line of that Terri tory, thence westward, both roads to use the present located route on the thirty-fifth parallel to the Pa cific Coast. Upon Mr. Scott's re turn, the construction of the road will agaiu be pushed forward rap idly. A few years since there was a Pres byterian minister at Columbus, Miss., who had a horror of shouting In church, which fact was well known to his congregation. One day, after he had preached a very spiritual sermon, an old lady was observed to leave the church In a very hasty manner. Meet ing her a few days afterwards, the minister asked lier why she had rushed from the church so suddeuly the Sun day before. "Well," she responded, "the fact is, I was so filled with grace in listening to your sermon that I found that I really could not contain myself, and so I ran over to the Methodist church across the way and touted." A Nkk S'lack to!,ik. (here is a farm in ''ewisylvaii'a where stones, bones, green wa nuts and a variety of other small missels are continual y coming down from no where in unexpected showers, to the exceeding discomfort of the dwellers. ,ll this happeni in brd daylight, a1? does likewise the mak ing ot tracks under the very eyes o' the beholders. These tracks are of the m.-st remarkab e and unusual i kind, Ix'i g of tremenduous size, j and all made with the right foot. I i hey are seen to nn low people on ! horseback, while, horrible to think j of, the lorm that makes them is wholly invisible Lung Yow, a Chinaman, was hung at Walla Walla last Friday. The Statetman, in sjieaking of the execution, says: "The hanging of Lung Vow is the first legal execu tion that lias been had in Walla Walla county, and this, notwith standing we have had scores and scores of murders, some of them characterized with circumstances of peculiar atrocity. In all these cases the offenders had eitl er raoey or friends, and so they escajied punishment. Lung Yow had neither money nor friends, and for him the law had no mercy. It is the old story. Gild crime with gold, and the bloodiest offender can snap his fingers at the law; but let the poor and friendless dip his hands in blood, and all the enginery of the law is at once set at work to hunt him down." A writer in the Statesman says : "A suit has just been commenced against the Salem Flouring Mill Company by Wra T. Wythe and Laura his wife, of California, who claim as heirs o . ilson, ue ceased, one-fourth interest in the real estate of the Salem Mills This brings this disputed question ot Salem land titles directly into court, and as the business portion of our town and the entire half com prising the land set apart aa the special claim of Dr. W. H. Wilson is involved in the suit, it is ot course of the utmost importance to all our citizens to have the nutter settled as soon as possible." The recently elected General Assembly ot Kentucky will contain in the Senate 32 Democrats and 6 Republicans; iu the House, 18 Dem ocrats and 19 Republicans. The Rpub'icans gain 2 in the Senate, and the Democrats gain 1 iu the House. A new and ingenious divice for concealing smuggled goods was ex posed on Havana steamers on the 11th. The Custom House officers discovered that the crew had stored a large lot ot cigars and cigarettos in sails on the tore topmast. Seiz ures of the goods thus concealed were made on the steamers Cleo patra and Moro Castk. As mamma was putting fiertlia to bed. the little one said. "I'm not afraid of the dark." "No. certainly you need not be, tor it can't hurt you " "But I was afraid, mamma, when I went into the pantry after a eookey." "What were you afraid of?" "Atrald I couldn't And the cookey." In Texas the Minister of the Gospel of Peace knows his business. When a crowd of jayhawkera started a dts turbance in church on a recent Sunday the preacher raised up a shot-gun and said: "William Dello, sit down, or I'll make it painful for yon." William sat down, and was as quiet as a lamb. John Newsom, Esq., as agent for Marion county, on Saturday the 16th inst., let the contract for build, ing a bridge- across Pudding river at Newsom's mill The contract was awarded to II. D. Mount tor the sum of $999. The bridge is 313 feet long with 100 feet span; east apron is 175 feet in length, west, 38 feet. There was a Warm Spring In dian in Pendleton last week buy ing horses. He had the ornaments once worn by the notorious Captain Jack in his ears Mr. Switzler purchased them of the Indian, and intends to keep thera aa relics of the late Modoc war. MISCELLANEOUS.
