Godey,s Lady's Book.

The January number Of this splendid and
unique periodical is already on our table,
Cooley has fully redeemed bis promise that
this number should surpass its predecessors.
Itcontain 72 pages, 10 different designs en-
bracing % engravings ana 80 contributors.
Theengravings on steel are very superior and
the designs original and highly artistic. "The
Constant. Is beautiful work of art and is
rather dangerous picture for single gentle
men to gaze upon, representing as it does in
all its parts the most enchanting scenes of
domestic and matrimonial felicity. 1.-THE
-Four Eras Of Life" represents scenes which
are suggestive of some Of the most happy as
well as the most solemn reflections ''The
Sylphs Of the seasons" is an exquisite thing
and finely designed The only fault we have
tofind with the double fashion plate, repre-
senting the merry Christmas and the happy
Newyeaf, is, that the two individuals in the
splendid sleigh are both in ladies' attire. This
contrayeiiss all our ideas and experience o.
the pleasures of slelgh-riding and if the fash.
ION now will MOTIVE think last through the
\ holidays. The music isa pretty little air, but
I not quite lively enough for newyears. The
lprose and poetry are better perhaps than ar
average Of preceding numbers, which is say
ing no little in their favor.
Now is good time to subscribe for this
work and asit should be found in every par.

A MEDICAL DUEL.-A quarrel be-
tween a general officer and a physi-
clan in Paris has provoked some lit
tie laughter. The learned professor
OF the medical art being challenged
by the son Of Mars, claimed the priv
iIlege Of choosing his own weapons,
and proposed that lots should be
drawn which of the two should
swallow a drachm of arsenic, plead
ing his perfect ignorance of the
small sword and firearms, to which,
OF course, his adversary was duly ac-
customed. The objection raised by
the seconds of the military man was
that the doctor was acquainted with
the antidotes and means of cure
The reply was, that the challenger
was necessarily acquainted with the
probable nature of gun shot wounds,
who had great experience and skill.
Fortunately the friends interfered,
and the affair has been settled with
out poison, pistols, or poniards.

OF whom are females. The King
takes great pride in his female army,
and they are selected with an eye to
beauty Of proportions, and look, Of
course, magnificent in their peculiar
uniforms. Marriage alone is for
hidden them. In all services requir-
ing hardihood and intripidity, these
Amazons are said to be foremost and
successful.

Three Men Shot.-Bazil Harrison,
a widower of about fifty years Of age
living with his son-in-law, VIM.
Harman, in Jasper county, went out
on the I'd. inst, to watch deer path,
and set down behind a log for that
purpose. On the same evening Har.
men took his gun TO hunt turkeys,
not knowing the whereabouts OF the
old man, and passing the spot whers
he was concealed, and seeing his
head move above the log, mistook il
for a turkey, and fired, the ball en-
tering the right eye and penetrating
the brain, causing instant death.
We have also been informed that
another man was shot, in Jasper
county, few days since whilst hun
ting deer. q.
And that still another man was
shot and killed, whilst hunting tur.
keys in Clay county. We think the
constant recurrence Of those fatal
should teach our hunters
more caution.-Otnsy (M.) Rep.

DREADFUL MoRrALITY.-In ths

great malignity. In one school dis
trict, occupying a sand ridge hither-
to esteemed the healthiest part Of
the township, there have been 26
deaths within a few weeks one out
of every six of the population
Hardly family has escaped, and in
many there have been three or four
deaths. The duration Of the sick.
ness is usually five or six days, but
medical skill seems entirely unavalla-
bic. A physician Of the neighbor-
hood informs US that the disease ap-
pears TO be contagious. II prevails
in the sandstone region near the
Vermillion river, quite generally,
but with varying severity. Lorain
county was similarly affected last
year. but during the present season
the localities hitherto scourged are
exempt, while in those which escap-
ed a year since, il now prevails.

TOBACCO CRoP.-The recent frosts
have damaged the tobacco crops in
this section to an incalculabIe ex-

entire crop, while many have lost
one-half, two-thirds and so on, but
few indeed there are who have been
fortunate enough $50 far as we can
learn,) as to save their entire crop.
We think that we are safe in sta
ting that at least one-half of the
whole crop in this section has been
totally ruined by the frost. Hard
times therefore. truly awaits the un.
fortunate, while the more fortunate
have cheering prospects before them.
