Correspondence ofihe ~ Y. Express.
BowL,sa GREEN, o., March l4tb, 53.
A most hcnr,-re2ding tragedy oc-
cured in this vicinity few days since.
The circumstance, as far rs ! have
been able To learn them, are ns follows.
A man by the name Of Valentine Sage,
had been for about ten days attending
IL prolrac,ed religious meeting, III which
he took deep interest. On Tuesday
even ~ last. from the exceeding earn
cstness wllh which he prayed in The
putlic congry gaiioo, som o. his riends
feared iin,t MS reason Mas about 10 be
again ovcrthrown. lie had once been
of excessive grief AT the loss Of Il son.
No symptom Of insanity was Ia wever
discovered on his way home from
church hut emly Oh The vext morn
ing lie went into the house Of II neigh
bor an, commenced singing after
which he prayed, and particularly for
the vile of the man in whose house he
was, that she might have grace TO
enable her to endure The great trials
that awaited her, &c. Having then
informed his friend that he lad been
commanded by the Lord to Kill! hlm,
and admonished him to prepare Tor
death Oh that day, he went home. Soon
afterwards he seized one Of his children
by the feet, and dashed her brains out
Oh n .oy. Throwing The child on the
ground he exclaimed, - That child now
is happy" His wife, who had just
been confined, now sprang from the bed
and attempted to make her escape.
She was however overtakcn by her hus'
band and ielled to the ground. HaPpi-
" she was not sericu ly luju. ed. BY u s
time several Of his ncighbors had c"I-
iec,ed, and the unhappy nan was with
much difficulty overpowered and con-
vcyed fer security to the Jail in Perrys
burg. He is now a raving maniac, hut
has a perfect knowledge OF what he has
done and says his child is in heaven.
One could almost wish that his reason
may never return while he lives, that
he may be spared the anguish which
would then overwhelm him. Before
this he had been kind to his family, and
lat,erly had been altogether exemplary
in his general conduct.

foreign countries, hcsetables will be quite
different; but for obvious reasons they
should not be rcckoncd in such statistics.
We have another table illustrating the
healthincss of different States, ms shown
by the number Of deaths for the year end
ing June !, 1850
The following shows the ratio Of deaths
to the number of living, emitting fractions !:
Maine. one death to "a inhabitants.
\. Hampshire one 10 II
Vermont. one " to 100
Massach'sis, one " TO II
Rhode Island one TO G6
Connecticut. one 10 % q" &c.
Looking through all the United States it
seems that there were less deaths IN pro
portion to the population in Vermont than
IN any other State, with the exception of
Wisconsin. where the ratio was one in
1875. When we consider that Wisconsin
Is new State, and that large share of
its population is composed Of recent cmi-
grants, who are mostly healthy persons !;
when we consider, also, that the returns
from such q State must be less correct than
from older States, no one can doubt ,hat
Vermont Is, by far, the healthiest portion
Of the United States.
We have other tables showing the same
thing which have not time 10 present
now. We may, if desired, give more Ia
bles hereafter, upon other statistics. In
,hc meantime, may express the hope TINT
the subject will attrac. the attention of
Nermoutcrs, and arouse them TO the in.
portance Of collecting such information.
Truly, yours,
