A Premature Announcement.

In Mobile, Ala., one may see the window at which Cade Godbold, United State Marshal, made the memorable proclamation when news came from Montgomery that Alabama had seceded from the Union: “Oh, yes, fellow citizens! Oh, yes! Take notice that the honorable Court of the United States for the Southern district of Alabama is adjourned forever!” The announcement was somewhat premature.—Mobile correspondence. Out of a population of 1,206,29!) in New York city in 1880, 727,629 were natives of the Umtecl States, and 478,670 foreign born.
