MISCELLANY.
How Pipkin B1owed HimseIf,

Bill tPipkin hadn't been married yery
long; hadn't got out of the habit oftaking
a little punch at drinking frolics with his
friends on particulara occasions. lIe was
first rate at making excuses for staying out
all mig mt now and then; he was terribly
pressed with business,sand as he took very
good care never to 90 home ross-legged,
his wife never suspected anything; all went
on very well. One night, however, Bill got
rather more than he could carry straight,
but he did not find 81 sout until he was on
his way home. He Wouldn't have Susan
know he was in suchsa situation for the
world, and he began blinking, as we'll as

The Ages of the Patriarchs.

Some have not hesitated toyascribe to our
forefathcr Adam. the height ofnine hundred
yards and the age of almost thousand
years. But the accurate and rational in
vestigation of modern philosophy has con-
verted the supposed bones Of giants, found in
different parts Of the earth, into those Of the
elephant and ,rhinoceros; and acute the
ologists have shown that the chronology of
the early ages was not the same as that
used at present. Some, particularly Hens
Ter, have proved with the highest probabili-
ty, that the year, till the. time Of Abraham,
consisted only of three months that it was
not till the time Of Joseph that it was made
to consist of twelve. These assertionssgare
in certain degree, confirmed by some 81 the,
Eastern nations, who will reckon only Tires
months to a year, and besides it would be
altogether inexpicable Why the life of man
should have beenI shortened one- half imme-
diatcly after thuTfood Il, would be equally
inexplicable why the patriafohs did mot,
marry till their sixtietb, seventies and even
hundrcdth year but this difficulty vanishes
when we reckon these ages according to
the before mentioned standard, which will
give the Goth or thirtieth year; and conse-
quently at the;aame periods at which peo.
pie marry at present. The whole, thereof,
according to this explanation, assumes. d
different appearances. The sixteen hundred
years before the flood, will become foul, hun
dred and fourteen, and nine hnndfed dyears,
the highest recorded which athsselah
lived, will be reduced TO .twoy hundred sh
age which is not impossible, and to which

A writer in the Cincinnati Gazette says he
has been over the states Of Indiana, Kentuc-

number of hogs at least 20 per cent. larger

a million and half; and in view of these
facts, he thinks packers cannot afford to pay
over ss3 per hundred for pork.

six packers would commence operations that

AWFUL DIscLosURE.--The Buffalo Republi-
can of Friday says, that rumor has been cur
rent in that city for several days. that the schoon-
or Robert Wallia, which disappeared suddenly
from Lake Michigan about year since was Ia
ken and scuttled by the Mormons of Beaver Isl
and, and her Captain and crew massacred. Az
the time the schooner disappeared she was on
her way from Chicago to Buffalo with cargo
of wheat, and was last seer by the schooner
Lansing, on the 22d of November OIL Sheboy-
gan, bound up the lake in very heavy north,
east gale. The news OF her capture, &C., Is said
to have been received through a Mormon who
escaped from the community at Beaver Island,
and who has made an oath to the facts above
stated. It is also said the u. S. Steamer Mich
igan has been sent to the Island to look into the
affair
