Somebody sent to the Board Of Health,
q few days ago. a Tuckerton. New Jer-
sey. paper containing an announcement,
to the effec. that 'dhe scolopax eallinaso
has appeared upon our shores; and not
only hero. bu, at Atlantic City, where it
has created some excitement among the
people" The Board of Health was alarm.
ed. 1t thought it perceived in the scolo.
pax gallinago an epidemic disease of a pc
culiar!y deadly description so it sent four
hundred barrels of chloride of lime to At
lantic City. with the suggestion that i,
should be sprink!cd upon all the places
likely to be infected; and then it began
to consider the propriety Of establishing q
quarantine station at llammontou. in or
der to keep the malady away from the
city. Before the plans we're perfected in
quiry into the exact nature Of the scolopax
developed the. fact that the name is the or
astrological designation for the bird which
is usually called snipe. The Tuckerton
editor hunted It up in the cyclopcdia.-
And now the Board Of Health prctends
that it knew the meaning all the time, and
behaved as il did merely for the sake Of
the joke. v.-- ...-
A correspondence woman apparently,
judging from the hand writing us 10
inform her ''whc.her Mr.. Jefferson, who
il now playing Rip Van Wrinkle at tho
theatres. il the same man who was Presi-
dent Of the United States? or is it his SOM"
We do not know Mr.. Jefferson personal
ly. and 50 OF course VIC have never had an
opportunity TO converse with him upon the
suhject. But our Impression is that this
is not the man who wrote the Declaration
of Independence. We do not base this
conjecture upon the theory tha. Jefferson,
il alive. would be Too old man TO per.
form upon the s,age-for We know that
Hancock. who signed that very Dcclara-
ton. is now q general in th. army and q
prominent candidate for the Presidency.
We are led to the conclusion rather By our
knowledge Of the fact that. While tho ori.
ginal Jefferson. when he played Rip Van
Winkle always drcssed 10 pink tights and
spangles. this other man persists in wear
ing atrociously bad clothes. and hc pock-
ess oil the money he eaEns instead Of di.
vidiag il With the newspaper editors. ~
the 6rst Jefferson used to do. These
things are scsndaIous-particularly The
latter in:quisy We cannot bring our
selves to believe that any man Who had
been President of the United States would
be guilty Of them. Our correspondent,
will probably understand how easy i, is
for persons 70 be misled By similarity of
names when We tell her Of that man over
