- AGRICULTURE IN NEW YORK Genesee Wheat Once the Great Crop. Comparison by Counties of the Yield in 1850 and 1870. New York Leads in Buckwheat, Rye and Potatoes. ae QIMENSE QUANTITY OF HER DAIRY PRODUCTS. Latest Statistics of All Crops Compared. Winter whoat was the chiefcrop in Western New York from the earliest settlement until about twenty years ago, when winter-killing, the midge and other annoy- ances led many farmers to the cultivation of other rereals or fruits. Still winter and spring wheat are largely grown, though the yield seems to grow smaller year by year, The crop this year is light and will not yield more than thirty-five to forty per cent of the aver- age standard. To show the extent of this crop we give In the following table the number-of bushels harvested im each county in 1850 (the earliest fuil returns) and 1870, with the bushels or fractions of a bushel to each acre of improved land in the county. We place the counties in tho order of quantity per improved acre in 1850:— WHEAT CROP OF XRW TORK—1850 anv 1870. —th 181. Bushels Bushels Counties. Bushels, per Acre, Bushels, per Acre.

When the Western States began to send down their vast crops of wheat the farmers of New York looked around for other crops. They devoted more land to | barley, oats, corn ‘ind potatoes, and made rome suc- eesstul experiments in tobacco. Buckwheat, hops, broom corn and hay were looked after, and certain localities wore devoted to one or two articles. For Instance, of 2,478,125 bushels of rye Columbia county produced 426,408; Rensselaer, 187,383; Albany, 120,635; Dutchess, 174,194; Saratoga, 173,509; Ulster, 107,502, and Washington, 105,932—more than half the State trop in these seven adjoining counties. Corn was more generally diffused, but the leading counties were Monroe, 802,261 bushels; Ontario, 727,661; Cayuga, 103,148; Livingston, 579,313; Wayne, 695,309; unon- daga, 566,558; Dutchess, 509,608; Queens, 535,796, and Suftolk, 515,099. Of oats Steuben raised 1,598,117 bushels; Monroe, 1,217,955; 1,125,880; Sof. ferson, 1,058, 22 Onondaga, 1,119,263, and 8t.

Gf late yoars much attention has been paid to butter and cheese. Of the latter article New York retarnea, tn 1870, 23,769,964 Ibs., nearly half (42.57 per cent) of all made in the Union, Of butter the return was 107,147,526 Ibs, more than one-fifth of the product of the United States, * The following table comp»res all States returning more than 10,000,000 ibs. of butter: — BUTTER, CHEESE AND MILK—1870, Cheese, Lbs.

All along the bleak shores of Lake Ontario the farmers planted trees, not doubting that they would ina short | time rival tue famous orchards of France. [t was a foolish delusion, but was only abandoned after great losses of money and labor. There is much capital and industry employed in wool raising and cattle breeding. Besides the 1,350,661 milch cows for dairying, and 64,141 working oxen, there were 2,781,578 sheep, most of them of the best breeds, Steuben county had 145,645; Ontario, 131,485; Livingston, 113,983, and Wasbington, 102,045. ‘Tho yield of wool was’ 10,599,225 pounds. The State re- | tnrned 526,861 horses, 630,522 other cattle, and 518,251 swine, the value of live stock being $175,882, 712. OLD AND NEW METHODS. The invention of reapers, mowers, thrashing ma- | chines, cultivators, seed sowers and planters, steam ploughs, horse ri straw cutters and a score ot smailer labor ng machines, has within a quarter of acentury entirely changed the methods ot cultivation. | Thirty years ago most of the thrashing was done with the hand flail, and the c! ing of grain by the old- fashioned fanning mill. Sowing and plantingwere done by hand. The cradle was the only machine for cutting grain, and the hand rake and pitchiork the only tools | for making hay. If aman and boy cultivated twenty | or thirty acres they had about all they could do, We | need not dwell upon the wonderful changes brought | about since the successful introduction of McCormick's reaper. Machinery now does all the farmer's heavy | work, and he 18 no longer limited to a patch of a | few ‘acres, but may - plant a township if he | pleases, and do as a great farmer in Ohio did afew | | | minable corn field, and say, “This is mine,”’ or the more wonderful farm of the present day, Mr. Georgo | than the entire State of Rhode Island, except its bar- | ren lands, | NEW YORK PRODUCTS COMPARED WITH THE WHOLE uxioN, The following tables present, in condensed form, all the leading facts concerning agriculture m the Empire | State as far as returns can be found.

A STARTLING RECORD OF THEIR INEFFICENCY— WHEN DID THEY EVER WORK UP A MURDER | | CASE TO A SUCCESSFUL IssuE? | Bostox, Nov. 4, 1875. | The recent failure of the so-called Boston detectives— | the pets of the daily press of the “Hub’’—in the | handling of the Langmaid tnurdor case, in New Hamp- | shire, recalls their record of inefficiency in and around Boston. In the matter of the score of horrible mur- | ders which have been committed in the city and | vicinity it is diMcult, if not absolutely impossible, to | single out a solitary instance where they have worked | acase to a snecessful tesue. Even in the case of Jesse Pomeroy, who committed two murders, the smart- estof them were baffled by the shrewd youth, and nis final detection was owing to the accidental discovery of Katie Curran's body in the cellar of a house once occupied by his mother by some workmen who were digging for a new foundation, In the case of Pemberton, who was hung a few weeks since for the murder of the Bingham woman, im Fast Roston, their stupidity was equally prominent. Some rings taken from her finger were described to the s0- called detectives, and the information was treasured by them as sacred. hold of and published adercription of the rings. The Boston Herald accidentally got A man in Salem who bought them of the derer saw the account, followed up the assassin, ‘had him arrested,’ and — trial, conviction and hanging followed in quick sureession, Thus the press served the ends of justice in this ax if the Langinaid case, and in spite of the so-called detec- tives.

Favorite Land- marks for Sale, REMINISCENCES OF THE PAST Vicissitudes in the History of a Temple of Momus. The old building on Chambers street, opposite the County Court House, until recently occupied by the | United States courts, was put up for sale at the Real | Estate Exchange yesterday morning, tho upset price being $200,000. There were no bidders and the sale was indefinitely postponed. The property extends from Chambers to Reade street and covers about six full lots. Interesting and pleasant memories cluster around the old building, Except to residents of New York, with long and tenacious memories, its past history is little or but vaguely known, It was built in 1842 by Palmo, who first intro. duced Italian opera in Now York, and was called Palmo’s New York Opera House, At that time it occupied a central location, as much so as Daly's Fifth Avenue Theatre does now, The boarding houses and hotels were all around it or within five or ten fin- utes’ walk, Beekman street was a fashionable prome- nade that the march of business had not yet invaded. Palmo had been’a cook in Pinto’s saloon on Broadway, where he cooked to some purpose, as he finally started restaurant and free and easy of his own im near | proximity to his old employer. He was very fond of music, especiailly of the operatic oper. His great ambition was to introduce Italian opera in New York. Having accumulated considerable wealth he resolved to put his darling project into effect, ana for this purpose he built what he styled the New York Opera House, which was afterward to pass through many vicissitudes of fortune. There was an Italian opera company performing at Havana and this he managed to secure for the delectation of the New York public. The following was the very brief form of announcement, with programme included, of the intro- duction of opera in the United State PALMO'S NEW YORK OPERA HOUSE. First night of the Italian opera. In consequence of the in- disposition of Signor b. Perozsi, in place of the opera “Ii Pirata,” on Monday, September 40, 1844, Donizetti's muc ‘Lucia di Lammermoor,’ will be performed. Signor Borghese Signor Antoquini Signor Valtellina nd tier of box First tier of 50 cents. Palmo’s ambitious enterprise, like many of a similar character in more recent years, proved an utter finan- | cial failure. Palmo was ruined, and it is but a few years ago since be died in a downtown tenement | house, in a state of destitution. After Italian opera had been surrendered as a bad speculation the theatre 4 into the hands of atravelling showman, who fave variety performances nightly, and finally aban- doned the place for want of luck. It was then taken possession of by @ troupe of model ar- tists from Paris, who drew large audiences by the novelty of their performances. The | present antediluvian Commissioner of Police, Matsell, was then Chief of Police, and on its being represented to him by a delegation of pious and decorous citizens that these exhibitions were of a lewd and demoralizing character, he sent np one night a force of officers, who arrested Hotn artists and audience and marched them through the streets—the former in a state of semi- nudity—to the station house. By degrees the Cham- bers Street Theatre descended in reputation until it came to be regarded as a miserably low resort, But the day of its glory was coming, and, as Burton's Thea- tre, it was celebrated in after years ‘as the home of su- perior comedy. It was THE GRKAT CENTRE OF ATTRACTION for tho best class of citizens and the scene of Burton's greatest triumphs. Old New Yorkers revert to the performances there with feelings of tender deligh. Some go so far as to maintain that there is nothing produced Aowadays on the boards of our fashionable tieatres up town to equal in strength of cast and per- fection of acting the performances that made the Cham- bers Street Theatre the joy and pride of the town. It was asmall theatre compared to Booth’s. In fact, it could hardly seat more than eight hundred persons.” It lacked the light, brightness and conveniences ot the modern temples of Terpsichore; but, for its day and generation, it was behind none in America. BURTON, THE MASTER SPIRIT of the place, was a well known character both off and onthe boards. It was emphatically “Burton's Th goers, Among the many incidents related of the great comedian is one in reterence to the working of the tele- graph in those days. The night of the opening of the Chambers Street Theatre he was bringing out a new | play at his house in Philadelphia. He waited with | feverish impatience for the telegraphic despatch an- nouncing the fate of the venture. Finally he received the following:—‘‘New play No, 90."’ Over this Burton and his company cudgelled’ their brains considerably between the acts, until John Brougham, who had been in a brown study over the puzzle all the evening, came wy glowing with the discovery that it meant “New play no go,”? which was as much a relief to the bewildered Burton as if it had been a success, The sketch of the theatre would be incomplete without some reference to Burton’s career prior and subsequent to his connection with it, BURTON'S UPS AND DOWNS. Burton made his first essay on the theatrical boards of New York at the old National Theatre in Leonard street, then under the management of Mr. James Wal- lack. When the theatre was burned Burton returned to Philadelphia and fitted up Cooke’s Circus building in Chestnut street for theatrical representations, and called it the National Theatre. In 1841 he leased the theatre in this city at the corner of Leonard and Church streets, which was soon after burned and all of Burion’s splendid scenery consumed. He went again to Phila- delphia and became manager of the Arch Sirect Theatre, the theatre at Washington and the one on Front street, Baltimore. Next to the Park he had the best company in the country, and was distinguished for the liberal way in which he mounted new pieces, He did “London Assurance” with a real aviary and real foun- tains, but that the birds would not sing and the foun- tains would not play. The result of Burton’s mana- geriai speculations in the provinces was not pecuniar- | ily satisfactory, and he resolved, in 1848, to have adash at the metropolis. He selected a spot between the fires of the Park and Bowery theatres—namely, Palmo's old opera house. Burton's speculation was regarded as a suicidal affair. He was full of pluck, however, and alter the expenditure of considerable money he mado the. following announcement in the H«rato of July, I OPENING OF THR THEATRE, “Burton’s Theatre, Chambers street, will open for the season July 10, 1848. The whole of this establish ment has undergone a thor: izh renovation. A new proscenium has been erected, private boxes con- structed; handsome gold ornaments, highly burnished, by William C.

Loder; balletmaster, Mr. Fredericks; rincipal machinist, Mr. De Wilt; acting manager, Mr. urton. ” Most of the actors who in after years at Wallack’s and other theatres in New York made distinguished reputations graduated, so to speak, under the man- agement of Burton. It was a great school of comedy aud turned out the best comedians—Joe Jeferson and Lester Wallack among the number—now living on American soil. During the frst part of tno season ho lost money nearly every night. He worked on unceas- ingly and was almost ubiquitous. He acted one ight here, another in Philadelphia and another in Baltimore, and then repeated the operation week in and week out, Though the theatre in Chambers street was opened in July, the regular presentation of legitimate plays did tot take place until September, when the following programme was issued.

In 1856 Burton, after ‘A MOST PROSPEROUS CARER in Chambers street, succumbed to the uptown movement and purchased the theatre on the Lafarge estate, which went by the name ot the Winter Garden, His audience followed him, and the protits of the theatre for the first season were very great. Alter Burton leit Chambers street the theatre was closed for a time, when the premises, which were held at tho sum of $215,000, though originally purchased Jess than ten years before for $15,000, were rented to the United States government fur judicial and other offices: at $16,000 per year. Alterations to suit the new condition of things were made, and all interior traces of ‘the building formerly ‘dedicated to Momus Were wiped out. ‘The Tederal offices were re- tained inthe building uniil the present year, when they were removed to the grand chambers in the new Post Office, The premises, on which there is a mort- gage of $100,000, will be held on lease.

By a special call published in the New York Heraup those who were intorested in the Van Cott estate were invited to attend a meeting of the Van Cott Heirs’ Asso, ciation yesterday afternoon at three o'clock, the party to meet in the basement of No. 214 East Thirty-ninth street. At that time the place was full of people, most of whom were ladies, The object of the assemblage was to raise $315 to defray the expenses attending Mr. E, B. Humphries’ search after the record of the Van Cott estate in Holland, The history of this family is, to say the least, romantic, In the year 1662 a family lived in Holland, of which an elderly burgomaster, now known ouly as “‘Kaats,’’ was the head. He had four or, as it is said, tive sons, named Claes Corneillius, David, Peter Prau, John and William, Of the last, by the way, nothing definite is known; the other four came to America, whither they had been sent for safety in their childhood by their father during the celebrated eighty years’ war. They settled among friends in Long Island, in the vicinity, itis thought, of what is now known as Bush- wick, and marrying remained with their children in that locality and became property holders. It is re- corded of Claes that he paid taxes on thirteen ‘‘mor- gens” (something akin to acres) of land and owned be- sides a great deal of live stock. In those days a pro- visional law in Holland, made for such cases, gave “Old Kaats” the right to deposit a sum of money for the welfare of his children in an orphan fund, which paid two and a half per cent interest on the investment, In 1811 this law was amended or changed and a new one framed, under which all the moneys in the orphan furd, it is said, were escheated to the governinent after a Inpse of thirty years. Just here arises a diflicult’ question to settle in connec- tion with the ‘“Kaats,”” or Van Cott, estate, The heirs do not know whether the statute applied to deposits made on or after 1811, or whether it einbraced also those made prior to its enactment. How- ever, the tradition continues:—The ‘Kaats” estate was exempt, and the new law only affected moneys in- vested after the law of 1811 was made, According to the showing of the association, which met yesterday this must have been so, because in 1841 an advertiso- ment appeared in the newspapers in Holland, and some of those in this country, asking the heirs of the j “Kats” estate to ‘come forward and pro- sent their claims, Anterior to that, by a century or more, interest had been paid’ on the orig- inal investment in Holland in the shape of merch ise delivered to the sons’ descendants on Long Island. This was continued, according to the tradition, up to the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. Thereafter nothing moro can be said other than that the enildren of Claes and his brothers lived and begat children on Long Island, in the vicinity of Bushwick. The mem: bers of the association say that nearly a century ago the record of the births and marriages in the fumily existed until it was destroyed by fire in a church (name unknown) in Brooklyn, Since that day the family nomenclature has been changed from ‘Kaatsbon” to Von Kaats”” frst, and afterward to Van Cott, watch it now is. Soon after the advertisement hereinbefore mentioned as having appeared upward of thirty years ago, an effart was put forth by a few of the surviving heirs to recover the property, which was believed to amount to several millions of dollars. It failed, as did one or two subsequent attempts, and nothing nore was done until recently, This last essay was begotten by the present descendants of the brothers, and an associa- tion was formod to secure to them if possible the largo fortune now bolieved to be in the hands of the govern- ment of Holland under an illegal escheat. As the matter stands the heirs have undertaken to recover the money, and the association is under the guidance of Judge William H. Van Cott, who 1s Presi- dent. He was not at the meeting yesterday, and tl Secretary, John Coutrell, conducted the business. The desire of the members, 1 the proceedings at East Thir- ty-ninth street be a fair indication of the intent, 1s to invest Mr. Humphries—now in Holland looking ‘after his wifo’s, the Van Seidens’ and Albertsons’ claims to soquestrated property—with power to obtain a record of the Van Cott or “Kats” estate and transmit the same to America, He needs $315, $125 of which have already been raised, for immediate use; and when this shall have been accomplished he will proceed, if duly empowered, to recover the property, claiming as re- heirs. There were some additional contributions made yes- terday, but not until Monday next will any completo or definite action be taken. THE MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILROAD. A SEPARATION FROM THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC RAILWAY DEMANDED, A meeting of those interested in the affairs of the Missouri Pacific and Atlantic and Pacific railroads was held yesterday at the offices of the latter company. ‘The meeting was largely attended, the recent action of | Judge Treat, of St. Louis, in placing the Atlantic and Pacific in the hands of receivers, having brought the affairs of the roads in question to a crisis, Alderman Van Schaick presided. Mr. F. J. Bowmax, Attorney for the City and County | of St. Lous, read a letter from Mr. Thomas C. Rey- | nolds, giving the details of the manner in which the | road was forced into bankruptcy by Mr. Calvin Little. | field, and stated that he knew nothing of the man or | his proceedings until he learned them from the peti- | tion. He recapitulated the history of the Missouri | Pacific, its lease by the Atlantic and Pacific and its sub- | sequent embarrassments, and said that Littlefield’s ac- tion was a trap sprung upon the creditors of the Mis- souri Pacific. He advised that the stockholders pro- ceed with the bankruptcy, and stated that unless this was done the $4,000,000 mortgage would become 4 FIXED DEBT against the Missouri Pacific. If the bankruptcy is gone through with, only the amount actually paid for the mortgage bonds will have to he paid to the holders of them. " He stated that a committee should be ap- pointed to co-operate with the city and county of St | Wis, Mr, Beexvey said that the Missouri Pacific was as valuatie a property as the Chicago and Kock Island, which was saying a great deal. He thought it was very | desirable to separate from tne Atlantic and Pacific, | which was confessedly bankrupt, He condemned the action of the officers of the Atlantic and Pacific in ad- | vertising bonds for sale when they knew that the bank- rupley proceedings prevented thetn from selling bonds. It there was a Just debt due the Atlantic and Paciiic 1 snould be paid, but the two roads should be divorced. Mr. Ciixtos B. Fisk said tbat his absence from a previous meeting had been misconstrued. _ If the bonds of the company wére worthless, as Mr, Bowman had given them to understand, why should Mr, Bowman be 50 anxious to get hold of them? He had not refused to answer the questions asked him, but had called the Board of Directors together and consulted them as to the action to be taken. He said that Bowman had been perseenting the roadtor years. The city of St. Lonis will be-paid; no railroad could afford to run into acity of 500,000 people who believed that they had been cheated of $700,000. The Missouri Pacific was a great property and should be to the State of Missouri what the New York Contral and Pennsylvania Central were to the States through which they run. The At Jantic and Pacific directons bought itand thought they had made a most excellent bargain. WAR WAS IMMEDIATELY COMMENCED by Bowman and his friends, and they have been fight- ing itever since. The harassing hard times and bad changed the business of the road that inste bringing us in $500,000 it was an expr $1,000,000. The mortgages made were made in y this state of aflairs, and were contracted with the full knowledge of the shareholders of the Missouri Pacitic, ag is evidenced by the circular in my hand, acopy of which was sent to every holder of stock. — He believed the charges brought against some of the persons in- terested in Atlantic and Pacific of unionding their stock to be false.
