The POPULATION OF THE GLoBE.-lhc
population of the globe is supposed to hc
less than one thousand millions-a31, ,OG0,
900. A French writer alludng to the sub
ject, SAYS
Ifall mankind were collected in one place
every four individuals occupying a square
metre, the whole might be contained in Il
field ten miles square. Thus generally
speaking, the population of a country might
be packed, without much squeezing, in It's
capital. But the mean idea this gives US
of the number of the human race, is coun-
terbalanced by its capability of extension.-
The new world is said to contain Of pro-
ductvo land, 100000 square miles of
m'ddl'ng quality. each capable Of support
ing two hundred inhabitants; and 1000, 900
ofa better quality, capable of supporting
five hundred persons. According to this
calculation, the population of the new
world, as peace and civilization advance,
may attain t. the extent of 1000, 900, 900.
II We suppose the surface of the world to be
double that of America, (and notwithStanl-
inS the comparative poverty of the land,
this calculation may hr accepted. if we say
notllin" of Australia and the varions arhi-
pcligoeS,) il would support s,ooo,00o,0ou
and thus the aggregate population Of the
entire globe might amount to l2.o0O, 900
| 900, Or twelve times the present number.

Hunter, Franklin Branch, John c. Kings

were elected members of the Town Coun-
Gil. with the positive pledge that they would
not grant license to sell liquors under any
circumstances. They refused license, and
then it was that the disgraceful scene was
enacted to which the writer referred, and
which caused majority of the Council to
back out from their high position, and to
again throw open these "sinks of iniouitv. -
Some Of those who were engaged in that
memorable scene, are now ornaments r.

Livingston, David Lessly, Augustus Hamil-

s'ecsed members Of the Council, with the
'"me pledges, and suffice it to say, they did
not back out-they maintained their ;nte-
gnty for two entire years. They not onlv
refused license, but they indicted every vio-
lation of the law which came to their no.

TALE OF EXTRAORDINARY SUFFERING, WANT
AND DEATH.-The Fredericksburg lVa.) News
narrates the following extraordinary incidents in
the life of man named Watson, who, some fif-
teen years ago, left Alexandra, settled in King
George county as a merchant married highly
respectable young lady, by whom he had four
children, and subsequently became widower and
bankrupt:
With his little children, two of whom were
daughters he lived on small farm which he
rented, three miles below the line separating
Stafford and King George. During the coldest of
the weather in the latter part of December last.
his children were seized with whooping cough.
and every one of them prostrated Whilst thus
confined, some fends broke into his meat and fowl
houses and stole every fowl and piece of meat on
the farm. In doing so they passed through the
garden, leveling the fence and thereby permitting
the cattle and hogs to destroy all the vegetables
intended for winter use. The only thing left for
the support of that family was small quantity of
corn meal and some unroasted coffee In that
condition they lay large portion of the time
without water, without fire and without food
poor widow in the neghborhood sent them
small piece of meat, and the oldest boy, not quite
