Heads dropped and surprised shame like

Hon. MI. w oodford was announced. Hold

down East often enough, to have us re-

strings, the astonished audience, hardly be-
lieved it, and looked around for some res
pectable' t1iatron with a'basket Of necessary
articles and q nursing bottle. Hon. Mr..
Woodford was hyfalutin, was vocifererous,
was theatrical, was! full Of words and froth,

that was going to be exceedingly dry-it
proved to be the only truth to which he
gave utterance. He poked along slowly.
The audience began to leave; he told them to
stay and hear one more point; they waited
but one more point, followed one more point
till they could not be gulled by promises
and with one accord arose, and left him

various measures before Congress, in which
they were deeply interested, than to hin,
whose arrival we have had the pleasure to
