SHAVING.—It cannot but be a custom meal, ivault.
log to nature to shave off the beard, which, if he pt in pro-
per trim, as birds and beasts instinctively keep t/ heir plum-
age and hair in good order, completes the pr rfectien of
man's face and the external distinction of the sexes, and,
whatever ladiep pretend to the contrary, rev den him far
more attractive to women—at any rate whr u custom has
had time to lessen their seeming repugnance ; for their pre-
ference to men with good whiskers is certai a. Shaving was
forbidden by Moses, and tkerefore, aceoF ding to Jews and
Christians, by God ; it was a severe pun' .shment among the
Indians, and an irreparable insult ar Jong the Germans.
The Osmanli swears by his beard, ar.d speeds half hi, day
upon it. Shaving prevails in Europa, because the Kings of
France set the example to their onue,iers, who were followed
by the nation, which formerly gay, the ton to neighbouring
nations, and therefore was at lea gth followed by all in this
troublesome and unmanly fashie n.—Dr. Elliotson's Hutson

GREAT SLAUGHTER OE SHEEP.—About 1 o'clock
on Monday morning last, ar the Great Northern mail train
was proceeding to London from the north, it passed
through a flock of about 100 sheep, which bad strayed on
to the line from an adjo'.ning field near Corby, about eight
miles south of Grantham, killing fourteen of them and
maiming several ofb en. The sheep which were killed
were literally eat to. pieces, and the line was covered with
gore and mutilated portions of the animals for some dis-
tance. The flock. bad strayed through a gap in the fence
near the line, ar,d ran in front of the train se it approached
them. The ol'Atruction, though momentary, was sufficient
to alarm the passengers, but no personal injuries were sus-
tained.
