fifteen days TO find house. Before the fifteen days
expired, the tenant called and paid his rent--the
landlord handed him piece of paper, saying, there
is your receipt Upon the expiration of the fifteen
days the tenant again called, and informed the land
lord that he had obtained house, and was moving.
The landlord replied you fool sir you fool
20 look at your receipt; you will find that it is in

Interesting to the Ladies-A Scottish philosopher
has amused himself in calculating the chances thai,
maidens have of marrying at different ages. The
following is the result. OF thousand females, 81
may marry between and Is; an hundred and
one between IS and II two hundred and nineteen
between Is and 80; two hundred and thirty y-three
between 20 and II one hundred and sXty-ive be-
tween % and % one hundred and two between "a
nnd 25; sixty between 26 and 27; forty-fiye be-
tween % and % eighteen between 80 and 81
fourteen between 80 and 35; and one between 3a
and 80. There is only a small fraction in favor o.
her who reaches 40 and this calculation holds good
in all countries, for the who is single at 4t
seldom marries.

From the Life of Alexander Hamilton.

Afecfing Scene.--In letter to Miss SCHUYLER,
afterwards Mrs. HAMILTON, he gives an account OF
the pursuit thai he in company with others had made
to oyertalc Arnold, Immediately after his detection
he thus writes respecting the situation in which he
found Mrs. Arnolds

tor 10 his country and his fane--a disgrace to his
conncxons-It was the most affecting scene ever
was witness to. She for considerable time, entirely
lost herself The General went up to her. and she
upbraided him with being in plot TO murder her child
One moment she raved, another she melted into
tears. Sometimes she pressed her infant to her
bosom and lamented its fate occasioned by the inn
prudence of its father, in manner that would have
pierced the bosom of insensibi!ity itself All the
sweetness ofbeauy all the loyeliness of innocence
al the tenderness of wife, and all the fondness OF
a mother showed themselves IN her conduct, We
have every reason to believe that she was entirely
unacquantcd with the plan and that the first knowl-
edoc of il was when Arnold went to tell her that nc
must Danish himself from his country, and from her
forever. She instantly icll into CONFUSION, and
he left her in that situation.
This morning she is more composed. l pait

method in nav power; though you may imagine sht
is not to be consoled. Added TO her other distress

Distressing and Singular Dc0ths.-A friend has
informed us of the following circumstances, and as
surcs they strictly correct. The naturalist
will here find an interesting and entirely new field
for study.
About the month of Nov. 1881, Aaron Kerrs, of
Pcquanack, Morris County, died suddenly with a
disease, supposed to be the Cholera Morbus. In
the fall of 1882 his wife and only died sudden
ly of the disease, and all the remainder of the
family were attacked with the disease, but survived
In the fall of 1888, Mr. Kim, living in the family
I'D suddenly, was supposed with the same dis
case os I'M, former and several of the family were
affected as before. About the 9th Nov. 1884, a
Mrs Beckhorn living Ii; the family died suddenly
ofthe cholera morbus, and tie remainder oi the
family were affected as before.
Suspicious arose that there must be some cause
for the five persons having thus died about the same
time of the year, and with the same disease: when
Mr.. Charles Burnet, who married in the family, ex-
amined the spring where the family got their water
for use, which was hollow tub, put i'll the ground
some years ago. and finding it too deep, filled it W
with stones, and in this among the stones, were
found twenty four large water snakes aud two BLACK
racers-in all 26, which had collected for winter

A most savage and brutal murder lately
committed in Charles county, Maryland. A free
colored man, named Ben Day, by some means had
excited the jealousy of the husband of black wo-
man owned by Mr.. J. VI. Brown. of the same coun-
ty. The husband returning home from work one
evening found Ben in company with his wife; with
apparent pleasure he welcomed him, and begged
him TO partake of liquor which the latter indulged
in so freely as to become completely helpless. When
in this situation, the husband with truly demoniac
feeling, seized an axe and commenced to hack off
the limbs of the unfortunate man; he commenced
ut his shoulders, attempting to cut off his arms, and
followed the with regard TO his feet and
finished by fracturing the skull Notwithstanding
all these injuries, the man survived for time

Evidencc ct-Marioge. All civilized nations re-
qure marriage TO be duly solemnized and evidence
of the fact in some way or other, perpetuated. 1t
has long been laudable practice to give the world
notice of the consummation of marriage through
the medium Of newspapers; and perhaps no better
method can be adopted TO give them publicity. But
in this there is iliicuty sometimes the printer is
imposed upon by the communication of a premature
or suppositous marriage, and is often mortified to
find that he has been the innocent agent of imposing
upon his friends and the public. To prevent this
he ought to be furnished with evidence of the fact
and as legal rules arc always the safest and best,
the parties should furnish the best evidence the ma
ture of the cause admits. Parole testimony is never
perfectly conclusive. The memory of witnesses IS
treacherous, they mistake misapprehend, &c. To
furnish record evidence of marriage would be
troublesome and expensive but there is a kind of
symboIical evidence which is easily furnished, and
which never fails in printers mind, to convict to a
demonstration A bottle of wine and loaf of cake
is the best evidence of marriage, and the printer
who would reject such evidence is a hymenia
skeptc of the first order.-Hartford Reriew.

William Penn. man is now living in Bucks
County, Pennsylvania, by the name of Preston,
whose grandmother died in the year 1774, and
had seen Wm Penn when he first landed at or near
where Philadelphia now stands-lIe states that his
grandmother told him that when the ship in which
Gov. Penn sailed, came up to the Neshameny, he
was met by the Indians, and that the mast struck
the Levede hill, the site of navy yards. She said
that the white people had prepared the best enter
tatnment they could for the Governor and family ;
the Indians had done the sane, VIM. Penn walked
with the Indians, sat down with them on the ground
and ate with them roasted acorns and homlny, that
pleased them SO that they began to show they could
hop and jump; that VIM. Penn stepped up and
heat them all. Such wise complaisance won and
secured their friendship and affection for h:n during
his life.

We would invite the attention of our readers to
extract from the eloquent remarks of Mr. Il. Fisk
delivered at a great meeting of the Democratic
Workingmen of Massachusetts holden at Charles
ton on the 9th inst. 1t has been said, and are
willing to acknowledge the truth of the saying, that
not TO know distinguished worth augurs ones self
unknown. We therefore confess we know nothing
of Mr.. Fisk other than what have learnt from his
speech. Whether he belongs to the agricultural,
manufacturing mechanic class of our fellow cit-
zens is wholly material His speech is sufficient to
satisfy every rcaded that he is man ofsuperior in-
tellect and sound democratic principle and the
tments he utters worthy of the cause which he
supports and the meeting which he addressed. We
are highly pleased with them and feel proud in the
reflection that the democracy of the United States
contains not two, but thousands of such spir-
its, who possess too much sense to become the dupes
of unprincipled and designing demagogues, whose
sole object to be the attainment power tho
the consequence be an utter submission of the con-
stitution of the Union and the liberties ofthe country

Our friends in Philadelphia will read with mourn
full satisfaction the expression of public opinion in
regard to the murder of the unfortunate Perry which
is contained in the resolutions adopted at recent
Ward meetings. We collect them for their use, and
assure them that deep political as well as moral
impression has been produced here by that bloody
deed. The better portion ofthe bank party cannot
view with appreciation any longer plan OF proceed,
ings which in the sister city has already produced
such awful consequences, and whether the black

,d or not there is little doubt thet it will be vrtu-
