AGRICULTURAL REPORT , The monthly report of the Depart ment of Agriculture for February shows that horses have increased slightly in most of the western States, but very lit tle in the middle and eastern, not enough to keep pace with the increased population. The Atlanticsea bound States, Nebraska, Kansas wa,,Mne sota, Wisconsin, and the ,Pacitic coast States exhibit the largeskincrease..That the numbers are not equal to the demand is shown . -by the general though elnall advance in prices. The increase of mules is also - slow in comparison with the rapid- aggregation of, boptilation, and the range Of prima , appears to be high er than last year. The return's of oxen and other cattle point Ito a poositive de crease in New Jersey, Maryland, North Carolina, Florida, Texits, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, the diminu tion: amounting to five per cent. in the latter State. Iu match cows a reduction is reported in Texas, Ohio and Illinois, and in some of the` Southern States. -A general increase in the prices of cattle is reported. The reduction in the num ber of sheep appears to, be general, the exeeptions being Rhode island,.Tennes see, Missouri, Minnesota, Kaniias and the Pacific States. The logs cannot be much less than ten per cent. In some States it is placeifat one-:hundred or rriorn. The' prices of, sheep have; declined Slightly in certain sections and advanced in others. In districts where merino stock monopo lizes sheep walks the decline is general, and in some seederto heavy. The re.. turns of swine oorrobtorat‘those of last fall, showing in thenomparative numbers of fattening hOga a'. very decided-reduc tion, amounting to fifteen per cent. , in-a large portion of the Ohio Valley. Prices are largely increased, in many States twentY-five or thirty per cent., and not unfrequently fifty or sixty per cent. Au inspection of the tables will show mark ed advance, the ;resultnot 7; only of a re duction in numbers, but of : a speculation naturally caused by such a` State of facts. trIciPOUNDED.f i k • . - • ;Theis is authonty4or th e statement_ Wit the representation against the United, Stateoldinisterat Madrid which recently appeared the New York; Jou - mat, to the efrect that ;be 311hister`doesnot wathige with the Republican movement infiSpidn, 'Ana confirmed 14 official and , otherzorreispolidenmof ME Rale. • -GOVERNOR orrxissrasrprr. •-• ,„ - - - - - • • - - - -Gen. - : Ames, Who has been' assigned tO duty In command of the Fehrth Military Diatri4, will also retain the prekistonal Governorship of Mississippi until Con- Faatt,r , / - ocorPiEn _k • • : President Grant shit his family to-day occupied the, pew set apart for them in the new Metropolitan Church, in which he is Trustee.

Passed seriatim: Resotved,. l'hst we are,' If possible, more thaia ever: convinced of the magnitude of the evils of intemperance, and the importance of an earnest and untiring prosecution of the temperance work. t Beaolved, That we still adhere to the doctrine of-total abstinence from all that would intoxicate, as the only true tem perance. _ Resolved, Teat we deplore the fact that so"many good citizens,•and • even church members, stand aloof, and neglect, or re-: fuse to assist 118 in this work of saving the rising generation from this monster evil,'which is :destroying its by thousands all over the land.' Resolved, That' we believe it to be the duty of every Christian tv be a total ab stainer from intoxicating beverages, and to unite with all lovers of humanity in, our, effort to put away this terrible evil from stud* us. , • ' Besolimd, That while. We believe' that every church ought to be strictly a tem perance organization, and do all they can ,in that capacity, yet the magnitude and urgency of the work demands that every Christian should also work with the Temperance orders, and thus help to use every means to restore the fallen and rescue those in danger. Besolved, That in our opinion no one is justifiable in standing aloof from the temperance work 11D011 the plea that it will injure their. business. We must sacrifice when necessary for the good of others. * %Rev)NO, That we- recommend the or ganizing of Bands of 'lope in. the SEM" bath Schools in'all the churches. -- - - Besdlved, .That we deplore the use of domestic wines on any and all occasions, as being productive of serious eVils, and warn all triothers not to allow any such poisons a placeln their cupboards. Resolved; That, all. -laws licensing the sale of alcoholic liquors'as a beverage are pernicious and wrong and should , be re-, pealed. .Resolved, That while we will continue the use of moral suasion, and all mild means to reclaim the intemperate, and to prevent men from engaging in the liquor traffic, yet past experience has convinced us that we need, and in order to succeed must have legislation lathe shape of pro hibition,. • • • Resolced; That we respectfully b u t ear nestly request the Honorable Court 'of Beaver County to grant no licenses to sell liquors when they can honorably re fuse to do'so. • .Reaolved," That our G.
