A FEATURE OF THR CENSUS. From the Aibeay Argus, July 14.) From the census returas which we find in ourex changes, we notice many instances where the popula ton has decreased in agricultural towns. We suspect that this will prove « pretiy general characteriatic of the progress of population in the old settled rural dis trieta which Ite bebond the neighborbood ‘of ‘cities and vilages. It is pot difficult to understand this process, and it bas appeared in our former census. From changes in the circumstances of families, a desire to seek an- other locality or to engage in a different oczupation, farma are of course occasionally for asle. Amit inne cording to human nature, as developed in agricultural We, for aman to desire ‘to ‘own all the laad which joins bim,’' a neigbboring farmer, well to do tm the world, with a few thousand dollars in cash laid aside, maken the purchases, and enlarges the ares of hia farm: ing operations. Thi process ia steadily going on ia the aistricts remote from cities and villages, and tous the tarma are constantly growing larger and the population ler The inducements to emigrate to the cheap and fertile lands of the west, have increased the tendency to thin renuit. Ip the cane of lands lying near a city or large village, the tendency ia rather in the opposite direction. Small cols of land are in demand at high prices in such locality for the ure of those who, for one and another ire a residence gear a vorhood are usually rous aod. if the town & constantly increasing reat increars of population which th» preseat cevsus will show, will be in the cities and villages: gricul except in newly rettied olstricts, will tur beem stationary or re- 4 the opinion some days ago, in « casual , that the prevent population of the State wn by the census to reach four millions This is a higher number than the past ratie of increase would give, apé it may be too high.
