! TIE FEMALE ARMY OF SwITzERLAND.-We
have mentioned in previous number two regi-
ments OF the women of the Canton of Uri. but
we find in French paper notice Of them,
which we translate literally: "The two baitalions,
numbering fourteen hundred famales in military
dress, present an aspect at the time formida-
bic and captivating. In their evoutons and de-
clpline they drilled to perfection. Curiously
enough, superiority Of form and beauty has been
very much the reason of difference of grade,
the handsomest Of the advance guard, aud this
post OF distinction and danger seems willingly
conceded them by their companions who are less
favored by nature. Some Classification has been
guided by temperament also. The more vivid
ana nightly have been rolled as voltgeurs. or
llSht-horses--the more phlematic as grenadiers.

at the wings. The coarse and rude are enrolled

powerful genius of Saas-Saglio, who has reserved

MARRIAGE BETWEEN TWO WoaRN.-Two per.
sons. the male apparent, dopper young tailor,
with a splendid FORM agreeable manners Sc, the
charms recently entered into the holy bonds of
matrmony at MarseiIles, France; when, 10 and
behold, it turned out that neither belonged to
the "ords Of creation" A suit at law has
grown out of this singular affair.
Soloing Seeds.-Cullivaters overlook ihe fact
that seed should be as soon as ripe; it never
should be thoroughly dried. The plant itself
asks, as plainly as plant can ask, for immediate
sowing. The circling downwards of its pedun.
cles. with the seed vessels, after Towering, to
convey the seeds to the soil, should be our lesson.
Here nature suffers not the seed TO be dry by sus-
pension Of the atmosphere; but, by independent
Iocomotion, the plant nes!les its brood, aud, even
previously to the maturity OF its offsprng con-
veys them in her bosom to the EARTH
PET CRocoD,LEs.-A serious result from the
Keeping OF pc: crocodiies believed to be tame
took place at Damietta, Egypt, in the early part,
OF June. The Governor of the town, Arif Eff
iendI, kept in his ga rdens two, he had succeeded
IN tanning. One OF the negroes whose duty it
was to attend to these favortes having ilItreated
one OF these animals, its natural rocty returned

youth about II years Of age, who was walking

IHE O'CoNNELL OBsEoulEs IN New YosK.-A
letter writer, in speaking of tho recent O'Coneeu
procession in New York, says: 'After carefully
watching the procession, should say that it was
composed of at least twelve thousand persons
coming down Broadway, with banners dressed
with crape--the band playing the dead march in
Saul-the funeral car containing a sarcophnprs
and cofn and drawn by twelve horses, covered
with crape-the spectacle extremely impos-
ing. The most ignorant hardened could rot
but be convlned that grea; man had fallen, and
that he must indeed have been great or this So
lemn pageant would not have taken place."
fl prince ,corthy Of has Ihrone.-Tho violent
occupation of Feraro by the Austrian troops np-
pears to have excited considerable sensation in
France. What cource will Frnce take, is now
the question of the Paris Press
The Journal Des De5aies replies that she will
aroy the 'virtuo of the Pope against the bayone,s
OF the Aus,rians." When the Pope heard Of the
invasion, he is reported have said: 81 will issue
new protest. If that does not suffice, | will ex.
communicate tho Austrians. II that does not
answer, : will mount horse ard put myself at
the head or my people, and two millions of Chris
tlans will respond to my appeal.
