A citizen of Schwtyz, in Switzerland, named Charles
Herlobie, died lately at the advanced age of 103 years. He
was a remarkable personage, as being the last descendant of
Margnerite Herlobig, wife of Werner Stauffacher, who. ac-
cording to history, took a great part in the foundation of the

Swiss Confederation.

THE WORKING CLERGY OF THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH.
—The Church and State Gazette, in its last number, sup-
plies a statistical description of this class of the Established
Clergy ; and founds upon it an earnest appeal in their behalf.
The document states that, " Of these curates there are 3,088
who are so to non-resident incumbents; 1,720 who are resi-
dent in glebe-houses; and 1,722 to resident incumbents. Of
the 3,088 curates who are so to non-resident incumbents, 295
receive incomes under £5O per annum ; 493 under £6O ; 231
under £7O; 379 under £80; 395 under £9O; 111 under £100;
493 under £110; 33 under £120; 256 under £l3O ' • 30 under

A very curious case came before the civil tribunal on Fri-
day last. The circumstances ar, as follow:—Madame Guil-
mard, a corset-maker in the Passage Saumon, suffered so
severely from grief for the death of three children, and lastly
of her husband, that she completely lost her reason, and was
ty of a thousand acts of extravagance. Whenever a
hbour, or even a customer, came to her, she required
to kiss the portrait o her deceased husband, and ca-

they all, on becoming acquainted with the real state of the

O'Hara. The Pennsylvania legislature passed an act setting
aside this legacy, and giving the revenues to the trustee ; but
it may be supposed that such a law is null and void and of
no effect in a court of law and equity. It is most probable,
if the law thus passed be correctly represented, that the lady's
ultimate right to the property is fully conceded, and only
prevents her claiming it until she becomes of age. At the
time of her elopement she resided at Mrs. Inglis's seminary,
