We invite particular attention to the following - 
timely and important suggestion from an earnest May, 1850. 
friend of improvement residing in Central New 
York. It will afford us great pleasure to receive 
and publish a statistical abstract from each county 
in the State, and we request those who can. do so 
to furnish the same. We will cheerfully send the 
New-Yorker to each person interesting himself 
in the matter, as j)roposed by our correspondent, 
though we are aware that this will be but a triv'al 
compensation for the valuable service desired. 
Mr. Chapman is entitled to the thanks of the 
public for his proposition, and offer to procure the 
statistics of Madison,county. Who will “ do like¬ 
wise ” in other counties? Let us hear from you,, 
friends, as early as convenient, in order that we 
may “report progress,” and give the names of 
such as will furnish the information sought:
