PouGTSEY.-Thc Poultney Bulletin,
under the head Of "Auld Lang Sync,
gives the following extract from letter
received from former resident

human nature, think, to be interested in
incidents that occur near home, though
in themselves unimportant. You also
have nv hearty thanks for beautiful
map of Poultney sent gratis. In looking
over the map it awakens in my mind
many recollections of the past. Some
pleasant ones, some sorrowful. Some with
whom have held sweet counsel, now rest
from their labors some have gone to
their rest full of years, some in youth;
some in infancy, all sleep the sleep that
knows no waking, until those in their
graves hear His voice and come forth.
Rests there one on your green hillside
dear to me as life itself; snatched away,
a prattling child just at that tender age
when our affections were so intertwined
with it's very life, that it required more
than human strength to say: Thy will
be done" Her last words on earth were
Papa; and how oft the question presents
itself to my mind, shall that sweet voice
greet me when / enter the pearly gate,
where death and parting shall be no moreS
I think a dozen families are all that re-
main Of your villages population Of twen-
ty-fve years age. Alas how changed !
where once familiar voices greeted
nv ears, strangers unheeding pass me
by. Youth has ripened into manhood and
in distant homes have made new friends
and with the big throng have sought
wealth or pleasure; but how many have
instead, drained the bitter cup Of sorrow,
l think but few villages in the State with
the same natural advantages have shown
as much enterprise and spirit of progress
as yours. bid you hearty God speed

you, that your intellectual, moral, and re-

WoNDERFUL PREsENTIMENT OF AP-
PRoACHISG DEATH.-A most singular
and surprising realization of PRESENT.
ment Of death has just occurred in this
city. A lady on the eve Of becoming a
mother, anticipated that she would not
live after the birth Of her child. This
being 80 deeply impressed upon her mind,
she mentioned TO friends visiting her that
it would be the last time many Of them
would see her in this life. Her death
followed the birth Of her child an hour
and half. More singular than all per-
haps, is the fact that her husband,
upon searching for paper to record the
names Of the pall-bearers for his wife's

pacity to allow steamers suitable for econ

ocean by way of the lakes, to the heads
of Michigan and Superior, with inward

(unless Congress shall provide that the rati-
fcation shall be lone by conventions in the
several states called for the purposel before
it can become a part of the Constitution. In

and the ratification of twenty-eight is thus
necessary to constitute the amendment a
part of the Constitution. By the list it ap-
pears that nineteen states have already rati-
fed it. Nine more are therefore necessary
to render the ratification complete. By the
requirements of Congress, Mississippi, Texas
and Virginia must ratify the amendment be-
fore their reconstruction can be completed.
These three states, added to the nineteen
which have already ratified it, would make
twenty-five states, leaving six yet required
to render the action complete. And the
states from which these six must be obtained
are; Alabama, California, Delaware, Georgia
Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Ne
braska, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode
Island, Tennessee and Vermont.

LONDON PAUPERIsx.-The book lately pub
lished in London, and reprinted here by
Fields, Osgood & Co, on " The Seven Curse
of London. " describes the plague of paupers
ism worse now in London than anywhere
else in the world, and the latest authentic
details are given. 1t seems that in the last
week of April 1869, l3S ,563 persons, exclu-
sive of ~lunatics in asylums and vagrants,
were dependent upon the public for support
In London alone. If We add to this the
probable number of Iunatics they Will cousid-
erably exceed l4U 600 persons. In 1868, in
the corresponding week, there were 40 ,4S2 /;
in 1867 only l29, 493, and in 1866 lOI ,564.
1t would seem, then, that within three years,
the number of the London poor, provided for
under the poor law, has increased more than
&c per cent
The Springfield Republican says of this
exhibit, as compared with Massachusetts,
The population of London is now :, lOO. 900.
That of Massachusetts, is about 1900, 900, OF
nearly halfa as much. If pauperism here were
as great a curse as it is in London, we should
have in Massachusetts to-day more than co.
900 paupers. In point of fact we have less
than $1,000. or only a quarter part as many,
in proportion to our population. That is one
way of enabling US TO compare our condition
with that of England.
If we consider the money spent for the
public relief of the poor, we shall have an
other means of comparison. In London, in
1851, the cost of relief was E659. 900, in
1858, il was ES70,000 in 1867, II. 1870. 900,
and in 1868, 81 81 600, or more thar twice
as much as in 1851. Reduced TO our currency
dollars, this last sum would be about eight
and a half millions. The Massachusetts ex-
penditures, by this standard, ought to be
about four millions of dollars they are, in
fact, but little more than a million, includ-
ing all that is paid by the towns and cities.
Here, again, we find our Massachusetts, figures
quadrupled.
We trust the free farms which our broad
territory offers every family who will go and
occupy them, will put off for many years any
such exhibit of pauperism as is now shown
bn England.
