- Miss Lind's concert at the Fitchburg
depot on Saturday night was so numerously at
tended that great inconvenience was expert
enced and dissatisfaction expressed. The noise
during portions of the evening, was tumultuous
the ladies were alarmed, windows and
benches were broken, and the whole affair was
but little short of riot, although the musicians
went through with their performances. The
Evening Gazette says
''The outcries against Barnum were loud
and general from the sufferers forced out of
their seats by crowds promenading throughout
the room; he was severely censured for allow
ing the extra sales ofSl tickets.
The Musical Fund Society, fully appreciate.
ing the generous donation of Miss Lind, made
arrangements to give her grand serenade after
the concert, and sixty performers collected,
when request came from Miss Lind that it
might be given up, she being fearful that the
many who had been grossly wronged by Mr..
Barnum-who was obliged to refuse admit
lance to some hundreds tcho had tickets-would
take the opportunity to make demonstration.

A Damper to Bathing.

The last number of the Boston Medical and
Surgical Journal utten thesopihion that once
a week Y often enough to bathe the ,chole body
Tor the RRposesof luxury orcleanliness. Be-
yond YIN we considers bathing al INJURIOUS
flanrisworn next to the Sin al IN seasons is
proper, and j infinitely more heaIthful, than
all the daily 6sths now SO fashionable.' The
argument BY which this opinion IS supported.
The oil which is secreted by the sebaceous
glands Of the skin, serves the purpose If -lubr;.
eating its surface. Now if this secretion is
constantly removed as fast as exuded. its des s.
I tined objects are thereby defeated. The excre-
tory ducts of the respiratory glands, and the
glands themselves, require this unctuous mat
ter of the skin to keep them in healthy ac.
ton. livery frequent bathing of the whole
body is practised, it must be obvious that this
matter cannot be long present to perform its
Office. As to the assimilation of functions o.
the skin and lungs, it will be apparent, thai
when the skin acts imperfectly, OF ceases &c
act at all, the lungs have an extra amount o.
duty to perform; and it is generally Just such
cases that engagement of them takes place,
