NOTES ON THE CENSUS.

We hnd the following Interesting Cal
culati0ns and on the recent census Of IN,
United States, IN . late Cincinnati paper
Il 10 stated that there occurs, between 1!
and 25 one death in 2lS; between 2;
and IS, one dssih in 43; between IS an,
IS, one death in 76; between 20 and 55
one death in 81; between IS snd IS. one
death 10 "a; between 65 and rs. one
death in 10; between rs and IS, one death
in les; between rs and 95. one des,h in
lie: between 95 aud los; ons death in
ll6.
The above shows less proportion oil
deaths between Is and 25. in proportion
10 those bs,wsen 5 and Is Than The bills
Of mar,al,iy generally sho~.
From the age Of IS. the proportional
number Of deaths continually increase. IN
Ill al The age ofl00 bu. lew remain. The
lac, census shows $50 persons above the
ags of loo. Noi~i,hsland the grea,
number Of those who die young, yet
more Than two hundred thousand white
persons in The Unned States are pas, The
age OF seventy.
The laws Of life aud mortality between
the sexes are vety remarkable. They
may be stated thus:
1. In The psessnt condition Of The white
population 81 The UnneJ Ststes. The num
Der ef females born per annam are about
Twelve thousand less then The males. This
de,ermines OF itself tina, pol, gamy 10 no,
a natural condition Of man; and that The
laws Of nature and religion are The same;
that one man shall be the husband oil
one woman.
2. Attsenty years Of age. the feaales
exceed The males. This proves thar. be
tween birth ant twenty, the mortality
among the boys has been much greater
than that among the girls.
3. Fran twenty 10 forty. the men again
much exceed the women. which shows
that this 10 the period of greatest msrtali-
" among women.
4. From forty 70 seventy, the dider.
ence rapidly d,m.nishes--.hs femsles. as
in the early par, Of life. gaining on the
males. This shows that this 10 the peri
cd of creates, danger and exposure 10
men--lhe least to women.
5. From seventy on~ards the wonea
sutnumber The men. This shows. con
clusively, that. relatively speaking. in
comparison with men. the heal,h,est pc
Iiod Of female life 10 the clnse oft. Ab.
snlu,ely, however. no period 10 either sex
is so healthy as that tot you,h--,he bloom
ing period Of boyhooi aud girIhood.
The above deductions Of statistical To-
bles correspond with every day cbser'a
,ions on human life.

SOUTHERN PRODUCTS.

A graf many baneful rrrors have pre-
vailed with respect 10 the capabilities OF
our climate and soil, that are daily fading
before The light Of experiencs and better
system Of husbandry. Amongst these we
reckon the idea formerly very prevalent,
thar our climate was TOO hot TO grow hay.
that il would burn, and that We must de-
pend upon the North Tor this great article
Of animal consumption. The truth is the
greater attention Of the northern farmer to
lhe Lesser crops has been followed with a
success that had induced the belief, that
we could grow nothing bu, wheat and to-
bacco, rice and Gotten, in the South.
Those great staples have engrossed too
much Of our aiiention-ihey have appro-
priaied our best lands. and secured our
entire car9 whilst The hay crop, the most
profitable that is made. has bsen neglect
ed. with the unsulhonsed presumption,
that the climate was unsuitable, the ever
ready excuse for bad hussandry. ID is a
lilde remarkable, that IS our lands be-
came more and more worn, the climate
blsame unsuiied 10 a greater number of
crops, until We had bsgnn 70 believe that
ihe generous products of nature were con-
fined 70 the frigid regions Of the North.
But az necessity drives us 10 abetter sys
ten Of cultivation, il is astonishing 20 find
how much better the climate is adapted
70 vegetable growth. Strange to tell, in
thu sunny fields Of the South. where we
have but glimpse Of the chilling storms
Of winter, we are beginning to raise fruits
alrnosi equal 10 those that are matured by
ihe, gliumerings Of sunshine that illumine
lhs miserably curtailcd summer Of the
North. We have even seen Irish pota-
tees sold in lie Richmond market fully
equal TO any that are exhibited in Boston,
and cur poor taste has confirmed US in the
opinion expressed by na,uralists general
ly, that j, is to the glowing regions Of the
South that we are 10 look for highly ia
Vorcd fruit. Let US make our lands rich,
and cultivate them carefully. and we may
trust 10 our climate, inferior to none in
the world, 10 do its part. We have for
merly expressed the opinion, that rich
land is the best antidote 10 all the evils to
which The wheat crop is subject: we will
here add that we know gentleman who
has four lots Of ten acres each, made ex-
.remely rich, from one Of which he never
fails TO raise splendid growth Of wheat
in defiance Of the casualties TO which the
balance Of his crop may be subjected.

BRIEFS.

MEssRs. EDITORS: In looking over
yourAugust number, | find request from
Mr.. William Massie for information as 10
the best mode Of getting rid Of briers. ]
presume he alludes to those bricrs which
run upon the ground, commonly known
by the name Of dewberry. The black
berry brier grows up with perpendicu-
lar stem, and is easily eradicated; but the
brier in question, is surprisingly difficult
to remove. This arises from the depth
Of its roots and their various branches,
which run and spread over the land at the
distance Of SIX or eight feet, and from the
multiplicity Of joints in those spreading
branches, which put out roots and enter
the earth, and ultimately, if undisturbed,
form complete mat over the ground.
Some of my fields were formerly much
infested with this pest, which has been
happily nearly removed. The best mode
10 get rid Of them that I have discovered.
is to have them cut up Tor at least the
tops cut OF below the surfacel several
days before ploughing for corn or other
grain, and suffer them 10 wilt or dry be-
fore following with the plough; else eve
ry branch will produce new growth
from each joint, thereby increasing the
crop Of briers, probably, tenfold: espe-
cially after the spring ploughing for corn,
when the earth is cool and moist, will the
branches multiply. If the land is plant
ed in corn, in the month Of June, just be-
fore harvest, turn in all hands with grub
bling hoes, and take up by the roots the
remaining briers, which may have es-
capped the implements Of cultivation, and
then again in the month Of August use
the same process. ....~. 50. nz
uprooting on the wane of the moon in
August, the Dutch say, will prove most
destructive. .-. .-...... .... ..s.-.
Remember to cut them up several days
before ploughing, so that the tops are life.
less before being turned in. The stric1
observance Of this process will efiec.ually
eradicate this great annoyance Of the far
mer. s. DAVIS.

Cor. McKEssEy AND THrApoRlsIsEs
We learn from the eastern papers that
Colonel Thomas L. McKenney delivered
discourse one evening last week at Port
land, in Maine. which is highly spoken
Of, on the origin Of the North American
Indians.
The Colonel holds that the North Anne
rican Indians are Of Tartar origin; that
they found this country propled on their
arrival, and in their march gradually ex-
terminated the original possessors Of the
soil. To prove these positions he cited
Ledyard's personal experience among the
Tartars, and points out large number Of
identities between the two races; in their
crania, their habits, tempers. and domes-
tic institutions. TO sustain the latter POI
siiion. be points TO the well contrived,
well-situated. and welLbuili Notifications
TO be found stretching from the great
Lakes 70 Florida---lorlifed camps, indeed
with basiions. angles, and curtains
gates. covered ways, &c.-altogether SUI
perior to any thing our Indians have evor
yet been known to produce.
