WARM WESTERN AFRICA.-A letter
from Mr. Raymond, Missionary ofthe Union
AbOlition) Society, dated, Mendi Mission
House, Little Boom River, Sherbro, Nov. 10th
says:
"The whole country is in state ofgreat
commotion and excitement on account of
war. Theregion North and North East of
us is in ashes. Even Tiboom, the residence
of King Sy-cum-mah, which is but two or
three miles distant, has been burned. During
our absence at Sierra Leone, about two hum
bred persons who fled from the scene of war,
came TO the Mission Station for shelter and
protection.
"Some time since, one of the war parties
surrounded a village, set il on fire, and burn
ed the men, women and children with their
dwellings,, Many of the people inhabiting
the ravaged towns escaped, and fled to these
parts, but were pursued and demanded ofthe
Chiefs, who refused to give them up.
2 "Of late the tide of war has turned in ia
vor of the other party, and they are now en-
ployed in retaliation and revenge. Those
who escape from the towns which they con-
quer, they pursue and take wherever they can
fnd them--and whenever they capture
man having been engaged in the war against
them, who belongs in this region, they come
and burn the place in which he lived. In this
way thew have DESTROYED several of Mr. Tuck
er's towns. Il will be readily perceived that
the tendency of such measures will be TO in
volve the whole country in a war"
A letter from the same gentleman, dated
Sierra Leone, Jan. IL, says:-"The war still
RACES with increased violence" He also
states that much sickness was prevailing on
the Coast, aud that many Europeans had di-
ed. These letters are published in the Union
Missionary.

THE WHEAT CROP, The Detroit Ad-
vertiser says; "a gentleman writing us from
Dexter, says Think the prospects of a great
wheat cropin the interior, were never, at this
season of the year, more promising than Mt
present. II appears to have stood the winter
we'll, and every grain sown seems TO have TAX
en- root and looks we'll"
The Wheeling Times says that the Wheat
crop in that quarter is suffering for want of
rain.
Respecting the crops in Illinois, the Chica-
go Journal gives encouraging reports. It not
only looks better, but a much larger crop has
been sown than in any previous year. The
accounts from the Northern section of the
State, as also from Wisconsin, are equally ia
vorable. .t.
The Cecil (Md.) Democrat of Saturday last,
says: ain passing down the peninsula, as far
as Queen AIMS county, we embraced the OPP
portunity ofexamining the wheat fields upon
the route. We are confident that we have
never seen wheat at this season of the year
look more promising. Even upon the poorest
land there is great promise of considerable
yield" .I'

information. If in person, for exam
pie, whose pulse is usually u, the
beats rise in number to SO, some alarm
ing disease is certainly present; or, on
the other hand, should it have perrna-
nently sunk to so, it is but too proba-
BILE that the source of the circulation,
the heart itself, is laboring under incu-
rable disease, or that some other of the
great springs Of life, is irrsmediably in

Surprising, again, the pulse TO beat
at ~, each beat ought te occur at an
interval of6ve .sixshs ola second ). but
should amp deviation from this rhythm
be perceived, the pulse is then said to
be irregular. The varieties of irregu-
lanfy are infinite; but there is one SO
remarkable as to deserve particular
mention. It will happen sometimes
that the interval between two beats is
so much longer. than was expected,
that it would seem that one beat had
been omitted; in this case, the pulse is
said to be an intermittent one. When
the action of the heart is irregular, the
beat of the pulse is SO likewise; but it
will occasionally happen that the latter
rregularity takes place without the for
mer one, from SONS morbid cause ex-
isting between the heart and the wrist.
1t is hardly necessary to observe, that
in all doubtful cases, the physician ex-
amlnes the palsation Of the heart as
well as that of the wrist-just as the
diligent student, discontenedwith the
narrow limits Of provisional
information, repairs to the metropolis

these points, and the technical niceties
involved in anything more than bare

is one point, however, which it would
be objectionable to pass over in silence:
sometimes no pulsation can be felt at
the usual part of the wrist. This may
proceed from so great langor of the
circulation that it is .imperceptible at
the extremities; or from the radial ar

THE PULSE.

Every one knows that among the
numerous inquiries and examinations
which precede the prescription of a
careful physician, the. state of the pulse
is never omitted; yet as it is probable
that few Of our readers are acquainted
with the reasons for this inquiry, or,
what is-the same thing, with the facts
TO be learned from it, we think it may
not be undressing if we ,enumerate
some of the more prominent ones.
1t is almost unnecessary to premise
that by the pulse is meant the beat of
an artery, that the one commonly cho-
sen for examination is the fadial artery,
which beats at the wrist. TT first point
generally attended to is the number Of
beats; and since in this, as in all other
medical questions, it is necessary to be
acquainted with the state of health in
order to recognise any deviation from
1t, we must mention the ordinary fire.
quency of the pulse at different ages.
In the new born infant, il is from 100
to lao ina minute, but decreases in
frequency as lie advances SO that, in
middle-aged adult in perfect health,
it is from u to rs. In the decline of
life it is slower than this, and falls to
about 60. 1t is obvious that il we
could suppose practitioner ignorant
OF these plain facts, he would be liable
10 make the most absurd blunders, and
might imagine boy oftento be labor
ing under some grievous disease, be-
cause his pulse had not the slow sobri-
ETY. of his grardiather's. A more like
ly error is, to mistake the influence of
some temporary cause for the effect OF
armore permanent. disease: thus, in a
nervous patient, the DOCTORS knock at
the door will quicken the pulse some
10 or 20 beats in a minute. This fact
did not escape the notice cf the saga
cious CELSIUS, who says: "The pulse
will be altered by the approach Of the
physician. and the anxiety of the pa
tient doubling wha, his opinion OF the
case may be. For this reason, a skilfu
physician viii not feel the pulse as soon
as he comes but he will first sit dowr
