—General Walker gays that the• centre
of populatioanf the 'United States, which

population ten years ago was about forty
eight miles east of Cincinnati, or rather
north of east. The large increase in the
Southern States would give the centre a
slight Southern course, and the growth
of the great West would probably take it
westwardly,- about fifty miles. These
causes acting together will throw the cen
tre of population very near to Cincinnati.

Montrose, declined buying toys unless

mitting it to a close inspection, it turned
- out that the "choice foreijor toys" were •
made in Montrose `.] —Pittston Gazette.

—The Hazleton &Write states that the
indications point toaetions - trouble among
the working damsel of this State at no,
distant day, caused mainly by the impor
tation of the Hungarians and - •ltallans,

- thins of the coal and iron regions in such,
numbers as to cause sedans apprehension
among thorightfal - American birs that
• they will - berevontnally ruined' by coming
in with cheap labor. The
brawny Hungarians are • diseazding the
harp, ViOlitl and organ, and taking up the
- *hovel, pick and wheelbarroir to work in
many places for fifty cents a day. The
' I-macme coal fields are not the only places
affeoteu by this growing evil, but from all
--the-industrial centres of the State mite
the mutterings of 41100DIZOL trent tit"
