 About q dozen Litchfeld people went down to see Joe Jefferson in Rip Van Win kle, at Waterbury, Saturday, night. The City Hall is fine large room, not quite suited for theatre but very.good sub stitute. We cannot commend the music which was very inferior, nor the subordi- nate actors who were of no remarkable merit, but Jefferson made up for the de- ficiencies. The last We heard of him was at the Scoyin House cautioning a depart ing friend in his quiet way to 'skeep out of the lock-up.' John A.

eve nave attempted no deduction for natives of Connecticut living in other states who are of foreign parentage.)
 The foregoing table, accurate enough for all practical purposes, answers the im- portant query proposed at the outset, and proves that while our native population is losing something of its old enterprise and growing more home-abiding, the old stock, stationary from '50 to '60. has &C., tually d,cindled 48,0OO during tue last decade! A decrease of ten per cent in ten years is simply terrific. If perserver- ed in, it will probably make the last of the Yankees contemporary with the last of the Mohicans.. But the war has made an important difference and an exception al decade. The emigration from Connec- ticut, heinz chiefly that of persons in youth or in the prime of life, leaves the unfruitfulness of old age and of infancy to make poor show in the census re. turns, while the children of such emil grants count as natives" in the returns of other states. Still, the increased ex- pense of living, and the late marriages and small families consequent thereon are undoubtedly telling against the race, in way not very satisfactory to contem- plate.

is alive to-day. The Irish are celebrating on a grand scale. It Is ''St. Patrick s day, in the morning" the day in which, tradition says, that some old gentleman drove all venemous creatures out of Ire land. The procession was lengthy one, brought up in the rear by large number of small boys, each with the green scarf and feather Several bands rent the air with strains of no ordinary music. Some of them were fine German bands, of one of which our city is justly proud. The day is March like, cool and exceedingly clustering. But let it come, anything but winter weather and such winter as that of 1872. To many onthese Western prai- ries, the piercing cold, and merciless, driving snow has been their death knell. Suddenly overtaken far from home and friends they succumbed to the remorse- less destroyer. But the glad Spring time Is here, the children and birds sing songs of welcome to its coming. The Father of Waters" over whose massive bed of ice, many skater has whiled away q merry. hour with his fun-loving compan- ions, and more than one sleighing party, have, with fleet horses and merry drivers skinned over this sea of ice. never mind ing the cracking sound that ever and anon sweeps across the Mississippi. But to-
 day great cakes of ice are speeding their way on and on, down the current, al- though immense banks of ice crowded up on the Illinois and Iowa shores, in one instance lifting steamer high up the bank and leaving it wreck several rods from the river. s -. s The great saw mills are running-men are busy saving their. rafts of logs from the moving ice. By the way, it would as- tonish some of the inhabitants ''down East" to see these great lumber mills in operation. Rafts of logs are foated down the river and then these logs are hoisted into the mills by steam and go through at the rate of one minute. The lumber is piled along the bank in im- mense quantities, and much of it, Is trans ported by rail into the ''far Vest" One of our editors remarks, that 'people liv- ing on low grounds, along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, want to commence now, to roll up their pantaloons, to keep them out of the wet, " for every thing in- dicates ''big rise" when It comes.
