Heath an Iosvn and Country.--By com.
pairing the bills ofmortality, for several wears
past, in the New England States, it has been
ascertained that more persons in proportion
die in sea-ports, in given time, of acute dis.
eases, than in the country; but, tho number
of deaths by chronic maladies, is consider.
ably greater in the country. More unmar.
ried females. die, annually, between the ares
of eighteen and twenty-siX, in the country
than on the shores of the Atlantic; and The
whole number of deaths throughout the
northern states, yearly, shows most conclu
/ sivcly, that the mortality of married women
i in either place, by acute or chronic disease
is less than that of the unmarried. A great.
I Ell number OF young men die in cities. be-
tween the ages of nineteen and twenty-seyen
than in the country. More men die in towns'
than women; but, on the contrary, in the
country, the number of deaths amongst fe
males exceeds those of males. More un
married women die of pulmonary consump
tion, than unmarried men; but in the mar
rage state, more men die Of pulmonary af
feotions than women. The mortality is al.
ways greater among children, between the
period of birth and the second year of thcis
age, in the town than i'll the country; but
from the age of six to eleven, fewer children
are lost, in either place, than before or after
those ages.-BoSton NedicQi Iafei
Horrid 1Turdcr.-A most shocking mur-
der was committed on Tuesday, the 28th
ult. near Elkton, Giles county, by Col. Ioa-
chin Lindsey, Of Maury county, on the body
of his wife to whom he had been married
about six months. This horrd crime was
pcrpetrated by the discharge Of a loaded
pistol in the side Of the head Of the deceased
as she was walking by his side on the road
with her arm locked in his, and in company
with her mother and cousin. The contents
of the pistol passed through her head and
she instantly expired. Lindsey immediate
ly made his escape to the woods, and had
not been heard of by the last accounts. He
is tall man, finely dressed, genteel in his
person, and Of agreeable manners-NaaE.

no prospect ofimmcdiate use for them on
