STATISTICAL FAcrs-MARRIAGgs

In CHANGING over the census tables, fot Virgiaia,
the other day. were surprised to 6nd that there
is a majority Of 1879 white males in the State.
Eastern Virginia has 1872 o7i white msles, and
1877 324 white females --being $3.50 in favor of the
Ladies'; whle Western Virginia has 1879 i49
males, and les, 42l understanding a msjorify
Of 6 728 agsinst them.
Our impression has always been that emigration
carries of such number Of male. to the South and
West. that there would be large majority of fe-
males in the State: and hence surprise at dis
covering our error. The Virginia ladies do not
emigrs,s in numbers equal to the men; and whether
males compose majority Of births. in the State, is
a question which has bearing on the ascertain
ment OF the cause Of this disparity. If the male
and female birth, be the SANE, the difference, now
existing, must be produced by deaths among the
females-snd should this be so, ii would be worth
the pain. to discover what are the causes. Are We

MR.. SCOTS SPEECH.

Next week, we shall lay before our readers the
excellent speech Of Mr.. Scott. Of Fauquer, upon
the subject Of receiving the States share of the
Land Fund.- which The ineorrupti6le Locofocos Of
the Senate. by lie vote, have rejected. There is
much other matter in tbs speech. which will com
mend itself to the candid reader. The argument OF
the Locos. that il would corrupt if we received
this fund. i. very amusing. These patriots have
become very pure, of ate days. indeed
The issue made by the Enquirer FOR the elections
this Spring, is tbs reception or rejection Of the
Land Fund. and We hope it will be borne in mind
by the people. Should the Legislature have ma
jority in the Legislature next winter. they have
threatened to every effort TO bring sbou, re-
Deal Of the Distribution Law, and il behooves our
friends in every quarter Of the State to bs wide
awake.

HypRoPHoBIA.-The New Orleans
papers relate a distressing case Of this
dreadful malady, which occurred in La.
fsyet.e week or two since. The VIC
tim, Mr.. q. S. Johnson, formerly resi-
dent Of Norfolk, Virginia, was bitten by
his own dog in December last, as were
also two of his children. The dog was
instantly killed, aud nothing more was
thought OF the matter until the Sd inst.
Upon approaching The water bucket, from
which he was in the habit Of drinking,
Mr.. Johnson became suddenly sick ard
giddy, and nearly tainted. The truth
instantly flashed upon his mind. Telling
his wife that he was dead man, and that
the dog he had killed was mad, he re-
qucsted to be confined. He was fastened
down upon his bed, and continued in tho
most excruciating agony, until the night
Of the 4ih instant, when he expired in the
