"THE LAWS OF LIFE" by Elizabeth Blackwell,
NJ D.-A series of lectures delivered to a class OF
Ladies during the past Spring, devoted physical ed
ucaton, the conditions of health and the correction Of
vicious habits The subjects treated of in this volume
are of the utmost importance. They relate to the
moral and physical well being of the community
Too often they kept of sight through negli-
gence, or false decacy. Quite often they dis
cussed in manner that repels intelligent readers by
its grossness and charlatany. The present work is
not only uneXceponabe in this respect, but is mod
ell of dignifed and refined discussion 1t eyinces d
thorough scientific education rare practical sense, and
great breadth of observation, the part of the disn
guished authoress Her statements are lucid and CON-
prehensive, her counsels uniformly judcious and heI
manner calm and selEpossessed. She thinks clearly
and writes we'll we seldom meet Win d srientin,
treatise that is remarkable for cearness of meth
od soundness of reasoning and profuseness and beau
ty of illustration. The work is presented as ''the
first fruits of the medical studies of the authoress
who We predict will triumphanty substaniiate hel
claims TO an honored place in the medical profession

Hon. 10 get upa Dinner uithOm Regard 10 Expense
The delegation from the city of Boston, who visit
ed Gen. Pierce at Concord, few days since, gave
him dinner at the Eagle Hotel. A member OF
the New Hampshire Legislature writes, @'Major Glib
son had been notified by the Boston Committee few
days previous, to get up dinner in the best style he
could for eight ten, without regard to the expense,
Now the Major is not to be outdone in matter OF
this kind and as the city of Boston 10 foot the
bill he thought he would let them know what could
be done in New Hampshire. He accordingly took
measures to procure all kinds of game and every
luxury that could be obtained, and after completing
the department Of the dinner, he went into the fancy
line, spending about seyenty-fve dollars in the pur-
chase of boquets of flowers, single of which was
priced at ten dollars the bill of fare provided for each
deliberately adorned and printed on very
nice satin, and cost two dollars apiece and everything
else was of course the same magnificent scale
The bill for the whole dinner amounted to four hun
bred dollars fifty dollars apiece, and this is said tc
be exclusive of the wines used the OCCASION which
probably amounted to fifty hundred dollars more
