THE HEALTH OF JEFF. DAvIs-The For
tress Monroe correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Inquirer gives q totally different account
of the health of JEFF. Davis from that of the
New York Herald correspondent. He says
Davis health is better than when he arrived
at the fort. His appetite is good, his diet such
as is prescribed by his physician, and his lease
on life, as far as bodily infrmities go, is strong
er now than it was the day Richmond fell
His eyesight is just as it was when he was in
Washington, six years ago, the sight of one
eye being then apparently gone, and that Of
the other much impaired. Out Of door exer-
else was not accorded to Davis because of any
critical state of his health, but was discussed
and prescribed weeks ago, to take effect in this
sultry term. The sea breezes are becoming
rare now, and the weather is intensely sultry.
The outdoor exercise is granted to Davis to
keep up his vigorous health, not to restore
failing or broken down physique.

CAThoLIG FAIR IN RUTLAED.-We clip
the following from the Irish Amer-
can
EAST RUTLAND, Vt, Feb. Q, 1855.
10 tile Editors Of the IRISH american
GENTLEMBN,-Permit me to announce
that Fair, in aid Of new Catholic
Church, was held in the town hall of
this village, on last week, by the Catho-
lie ladies of Rutland. It commenced on
Monday. the Both of January, at IL
o'clock in the afternoon, and ended on
Saturday, the 4th inst, at II o'clock
P. M.
The hall each evening was filed to
overlooking by all classes Of the com
munity, without any distinction Of sex
or creed. The names of the clergymeu
who attended are as follows: Rev. Chas.
Boylan,o our esteemed pastor; Rev. Fa-
Their Lynch, Y. G., West Rutland; Rev.
Father McCauley, C. c., West Rutland ;
Rev. Father O'Reilly, P. P, Bratteboro;
Rev Father Ryan, P. P, Bennington +;
and Rev. Father O'Carroli, G. O., Bur
lington.
1t is no eXaggaratiOn on my part to
state that it has been the largest, most
successful, and best attended Fair that
ever has been held in THIS town.
Through the noble exertiOns of the la
dies ia previously preparing articles
suitable for the occasion, and also the
active and generous part which all
classes have taken in bestowing their
patronage, the handsome amount Of
$4,000 has been realized.
In conclusion, l would respectfully
beg leave to state that the most sincere
thanks of the Rutland Catholic Fair AS
ISOLATION, are rendered, in the kindest
manner, to the Americans OF Rutland,
who so nobly came forward in lending
their aid by their generous presents and
otherwise. Please excuse my lengthy
description. In the meantime, re-
main, gentlemen, very faithfully yours,
T. J. Hooks.
