When Foote was canyassing the
State Of Mississippi, previous 10 the
Congressional election, for which he
was a candidate, be arrived one day at
the town Of L, whore he was en-
gagged to make speech While wait
ing for diGnrt he chane,d 10 pick up q
late number of tho Tanner little
one-horse paper published in that
place and found contained therein q
very severe article against himself -
He Clipped the article from the paper.
and after eating his dinner proceeded
70 the court house, where n very res
pectable crowd had already assembled;
among others, i'll company OF his sweet
heart Billy Cox, the editor of the afcre-
mentioned paper Foot, in the course
Of his speech took occasion TO speak of
the many severe and unjust things
which were said Of him by the news-pa-
pers. and foremost IN bitterness, but
last in importance" he said, Il may
mention II seunilous little sheet pub
lished IN this town, the editor Of which,
Judging by the reading contained there
in, has but a thimbleful of brains TO bal,
ance @ worldful Of spite r This was
too much for Billy to stand; he sprang
Iup and commenced yindication of
himself
"Sit dtwn" commanded the orator.
"the people came here to hear mo speak,
not you
We'll you needn't get your cholcr
up about il, replied Billy
"ButI have my collar up and i al
ways Keep my collar up answered
Foote, at the same time giving a pull
to that much-needod article Of dress,
which already reached the noighbor
hood of his cars; "and would adcise
1 the gentleman to keep the other end
4 Of the same garment down."

VTu STATISTICS or VERMONT Ac-
cording I'd the eighth annual Registra-
tion Report for the State Of Vermont
containing returns from all but twenty
four towns, it appears that the number
Of births during 1866 was 1853, less By
GIG than those Of the year preceding,
accounted for principally by an absence
Of more than a tenth Of the adult men
OF the State. The number Of marriages
was 1904, less by 203 than those Of the
preceding pear. The number Of dooths
was 5293, less by All than those Of
1868.
In 422 instances ofma1iago the bride
was undor twenty years Of age, IN 45
the bridegroom was under twenty.
Two hundred and nincty-fou! widoWors
were married and only hundred and
eighty-tye widows. The number Of
deaths was 960 more than the average
for the eight preceding years In that
respect the influence Of the war is APP
parent, not only in the greater preva-
lence Of some forms Of disease, but also
in the deaths Of many returned soldiers
Diptheria was the most fatal disease,
and occasioned St3 deaths; consump-
ton stood next, having had 1888 victims.
Only eight deaths were suicides, less
than half the annual average.

The Dublin Erpress has good authority
for saying that the Irish Americans who
lately arrived in Ireland to participate
in the Fenian outbreak, disgusted with
prospects set before them arc rapidly
leaving the country Saunders Neps
tefter, another Dublin paper, says the
probability Of any disturbance has
greatly diminished, and that vessels
which leave Cork fer New York and
Philadelphia are crowded with men
who went to Ireland to act Us the mil
itary leaders Of the intended rebellion,
who have seen that the cause is hope
less and who make more haste to leave
the country than they did to enter it.
