THE FoREIGN POPULATION, by the census Of
1850 it appears that Of the white population of
the United States, then amounting to 10, 553 058,
there were born in foreign countries 2,240, 635
persons, viz: males, 1888 434; females, LOCI, .
10l. Those ascertained to have been born in the
United States amounted to IL ,279,375, and BE-
658 were reported unknown as to their nativity.
1t thus appears that the proportion Of natives
to foreigners in 1850 was nearly eight to one in
the whole United States. Itshould be observed
that since the census of 1850 was taken the for
eign population has largely increased BY immi-
grafton, amounting to over one million in all I;
! so that the number Of persons of foreign birth
now in the United States may be stated at
about three and half millions. The proper
| ton Of Germans among the recent immigrants
has been very great

Mrs. William Tillman, of this county, was draw
ing water from we'll, she by some means fell
in and was drowned 1t was some time after
the sad occurrence before it was known. She
was last seen at the well, and examination hav-

We learn that the well was curbed at least
three feet above the ground, and alse covered.

and she. in this state, jumped into the well.
