IIEALrn or New ORLEANs.-Tho New
Orleans American, Of the 9th ultimo,publisli-
es list Of the intcrments in that city for the
fourteen weeks commencing May ]. and end
ing August G. From this table we learn thn,
the whole number Of deaths during that peri
od amounts to seven hundred and sixty-ive,
or a little less than fifty-fve per week, which
is certainly no great proportion Of mortality
for city of upward of sixty thousand inhabi-
tants, in the most unhealthy season of the
year. In 1875, during twelve weeks com
mencing May l, eight hundred and ten per-
sons were inferred in the different burial
grounds-bcing an average of sixty-soven
and half persons per wcek-thus showing
that twithstanding the increase in popua-
tion,the bills of mortality are lighter the pres
cnt than the last year.

pressing an opinion as their woulJ-be
leaders in Staunton. I should like to
see my brethren of the plough shake off
all this Staunton influence, and, il we
will examine and judge for ourselves. l
have no doubt, the public and private
character Of our best men will not be
made the subject Of SO much vitupera-
ton and billingsgate. Let nan pre-
sent himselfto the people as a candidate
Tor Office, and il matters not how fair and
upright his character may have been. he
is certain to be villified, and his charac-
ter torn to pieces, as by set of Vandals.
We, as farmers, canno, couutenance the
Prostration Of the character Of any man,
for we would be recreant to the duty
which we owe to God and our fellow
man. should We directly or indirectly aid
in his downfall.
Let US remember the injunction "to
do unto others as we would they should
do unto ms" in all our canv assings Of the
characters of public men.
A FARMER.
