The CENsUs.-We understand that the towns
of Waterford, Lyndon, Wheelock, Sutton and
Kirby have fallen off in population, in the ten
years past, about 300 in all. Newark, Shelf
fele, Burke and st. JOhnsbury have gained
about 900. In the County there is loss of
population of about 500; but when we consid-
er that ten years ago there was nearly 1000
railroad employees in the County, used in the
construction Of the Passumpsic R. R., who are
not here now, there has been in reality no DIM
mutton of population in the County. This
town has now a population of a little less than
$500, gain of about 700, and only ten unoc-
,upied houses and within the limits of the
village there are about 1850 inhabitants.-CG

it unless general, energetic, prodigious effort
be made to ward off from the country such ca
lamity."
