IN Extraordinary fhnily Some thirty years
since there lived in Montpelier, VI, family of
the following description; The husband and
wife, son and his wife; the husband and his
eight children--ive sons and three daughters
the husbands father and mother The ages OF
the four patriOrchs averaged over eighty years
oach-total age Of the grand parents, three hun
dred and twenty-five. All the members Of this
family sat together at the same table and wor-
shipped at the same altar. Its head was one of
the officers of the town at its organization, in
March, 1871, and is now living at the advanced
age of 50 in October next and so vigorous in
mental and physical power as to labor daily in
his fine fruit nursery, and travel, on foot, twice
in the week, a mile or more, to attend meetings
for religions worship. We doubt whether a par
allel to this extraordinary and prosperous family
can be found in the Union. II is the family of
the venerable CLARK STEVENS, member and
minister Of the Society of Friends. Y.

a Hord Of advio' for people abroad The n.
Orleans papers confess that the yellow fever
never was so bad as it is this year; and the
newspapers tel us that the disease has travelled
as far North as Philadelphia and New York, and
some deaths are reported on board a Boston
ship. At the West, the season for agnes and
bilious complaints is at hand Our advice to
Southern and Western people is to come to the
North and our opinion is, that of all the Nor
thern States Vermont is both the most healthy
and the most attractive. At Burlington, Brat
