IOoen unannlhllafed, and with dire intent, set about their work ofblOod. The most approved remedy, and one which we un- idcrstand will be adopted, by the virtuous, for the current season,i is knocking out their teeth with junk bottle. The sufferer should have halter, with slip moose, to entrap the little rascals after which, pla- cing them one by one on chair, with one foot on their wing, maui them into contri-
 ton. If there is any thing from which we pray deliverance, it is the inveterate wiz of these creatures, while of summers night
 they hold their unhallowed caucusses a. round our drowsy eyes.-BostOn States.
 MARCH OF INTELLECT" 4 true StOry." "A few years ago, as Mr.. Earle was g"-
 ing round the wards of St. Bartholomew's
 Hospital, he was told that person wished
 particularly to see him; and immediately
 after, butcher of prodigious dimensions
 made his appearance, and accosting MT.
 Earle, informed him that he had willed his body for dissection to the hospital, and
 that he was anxious the circumstance
 should be known beforehand, that no im- pediment might be thrown in the way of
 his wishes being accomplished. MT. Earle
 was evidently at loss to know whether the communication was made in jest or earnest, and answered, "I should think, sir, you will be as large c bequest as ever was made to St. Bartholomew's in truth, as fat legacy as we have ever had" !" Very like, very like," replied the butch- CT, :" but wish to do away the soalgGr prejudice against cutting up people after they are dead, and hope the thing will be done." MT. Earle seeing he was in sober earnest, asked if he had wife or friends, because they might not like it, and it was fair that their feelings should be consulted in so uncommon display of his love of science ? fTo which our fat friend replied, "As for that, I've tackled the old woman, sir: have left her in my will, the choice of either my body or money if sho likes to keep me, look ye, the mo- ney comes to the hospital: so there is lit- tie doubt which way it will go." MT. Earle then begged that, if convenient, he would die in the winter, as in a hot summer it might be difficult to do justice to so e1ten- sive e subject: but that, at all events, he should be made into skeleton, and his name be honorably mentioned in the re- cords of the hospital" With which as- surance the scientific butcher departed perfectly satisfied.
 Since the establishment of the consti- tuition of the United states, 1789, we have had seven Presidents, ten Secretaries of State, nine Secretaries of the Treasury, fhirteon Socratarieo af War; ten Secreta- ries of the Navy, seven Post Masters Gem eral, and eleven Attornies General. Of these seventy four distinguished public officers, but two, we believe, have died in office, and these were both Vice Presi- dents of the United States. As it is not probable that the offices herein enumera- ated have been attained at an earlier age than 50, the above statement would war rant the belief that we average the attain ment of as great an age in this country. as is usual in any part of the world.-Press.
 AbeynethiGma.-The following is the last and best that we have heard of the above named gentleman "A lady went to the doctor in great distress of mind, and stated to him that, by strange accident, she had swallowed a live spider. At first his only
 reply was "whew! whew whew' a
 sort of internal wbistling sound, intended
 to be indicative of supreme contempt. But
 his anxious patient was not so easily to be repulsed she became every moment more
 and more urgent for some means of relief from the dreadful effect of the strange ac- cident she had consulted him about:
 when, at last looking round upon the wall,
 he put up his hand, and caught fly.
 "There, Ma'am," said he, "I've got a
 remedy for you. Open your mouth, and
 as soon as put this fly into it, shut it close
 again; and the moment the spider hears
 the fly bnzzing about, up he'll come, and
 then you can spit them both out together"
