An INTERESTING INCIDENTAL correspond
ent of the Greenfield Republican relates the
following interesting instance of maternal affec-

"a few days since, Mr.. Joel Rice, of Con-
way, discovered on tree what he supposed to

instead of a brood of unfedged corn-pullers, a
litter Of flying squirrels. Not a little pleased
with his booty, he thought it fine opportunity
to secure an acceptable present for his chill.

at the foot, contemplating his prize, when the
old one made her appearance. A mothers
temerity, when her offspring are in danger,
knows no limits. She jumped upon his hat,
crawled down to his hand, seized one of her
young ones, and endeavored to take it away.
For moment Mr.. resisted her claim, yet only
for moment. Sympathy for parents agony
made an appeal and was successful-his better
feeling trumphed, and the dam gathering into
her furry folds little one, sought new home
for her family. After short time she returned,
and then again, till she had taken them all

FACTS In HUMAN LIrE.-The number Of
languages spoken in the world amounts to
1914; 5s7 in Europe, s96 in Asia, 276 in
Africa, and 1,274 in America. The inhabi-
tants Of the globe profess more than 1000 differ
ent religions. The number Of men is about
equal TO the number Of women. The average
Of human life is about % years. One quarter
die previous to the age Of years; one-half
before reaching II; and those who pass this
age enjoy facility refused to one-half the hui
man species. To every 1000 persons, only one
one reaches 100 years Of life to every 100, only
six reach the age Of S.; and not more than
one in 500 lives to see 80 years Of age. There
are on earth 1000, 100000 inhabitants and
of these 33,333,333 die every year, 81 1884 every
day, also every hour, and go every minute, or
one every second. The losses are balanced by
an equal number Of births. The married are
longer lived than the single, and, above all,
those who observe sober and industrious con-
duct. Tall men live longer than short ones.
Women have more chances Of life in their
favor previous to being so years Of age than
men have, but fewer afterwards. The number
Of marriages is in proportion Of IS to every
1000 individuals. Marriages are more frequent
after the equinoxes--,hat u.s. during the months
of June aud December. Those born in the
spring are generally more robust than others.
Births and deaths are more frequent by night
than by day. The number Of men capable Of
bearing arms is calculated at one fourth Of the
population. a

Disastrous Fire.

About halEpast nine o'clock last evening, COM
menced one Of the most disastrous fires it has
lately been our lot to record. Owing to some
carelessness in the handling Of matches behind
the scenes of the National theatre, at the corner
Of Ninth and Chestnut street, fire was communi
Gated 10 the scenes, and the flames spread with q
rapidly that defed all the efforts of the fremen.
The National Theatre was entirely destroyed.
The audience escaped, we believe, without a
single exception.
The Chinese MUSEUM building, in the rear of
the theatre-one of the most massive and exten
sivc structures in the country-was entirely de-
stroyed.
The theatre originally did no, join the Museum
building, but some years since the back pert Of IL
was extended TO the rear wall Of tho Museum by
a wooden addition, in order 10 afford additional
space upon the Stage for the professions and
other spectacular plays. This connection unfor
tunately caused the flames 10 communicate 10 The
magnificent Museum building, which, though
sodly built, could not be saved.
The Girard House caught fire al the cornices,
which was Of wood, but was eventually saved
with much difficulty. When il was feared, from
the malignant fury with which the caves burned,
that the hotel would be destroyed, the proprieiors
notified their dodgers of their danger and advised
them TO seek quarters elsewhere
From the Museum aud Theatre the flames
spread eastward to the adjoining houses on Cbes.
NUT and SAMSON streets. The buildings occupied
by James s. Earle's picture gallery, and Evans g.
Co.'s large dry goods store. were soon utterly
destroyed Many Of the valuable pictures in MIR.
Esrle's gallery were burned, as also large amount
Of picture frames, looking glasses, and other stock.
Some Of his pictures were saved, though In .
damaged condition. His loss IL quite large. on
which we regret 10 learn that he has but compa-
rstively little insurance. From these bulldogs
the flames spread TO the rear Of all the build
ines along Chestnut, SAMSON, and Eighth streets.
Most of the goods from the stores along Cbes-
nut and Eighth streets were carried out and saved,
and some ofthe furniture from the dwelling houses
along SAMSON street.
The Ere extended TO the southeast, as far ~
Eighth aud SAMSON streets, where the sssiduous
and unremitting exertions Of the fremen checked
the progress Of the flames. The Girard House
was saved--ihe upper stories only being damaged
and much Of the furniture spoiled by the deluge
of water.
The Bou,illier Brothers are among the heaviest
losers by the conAsgrsfion. Their fine stock Of
dry goods has been almost entirely destroyed.
The pictures Of the Art Union Gallery were
saved by prompt and continued exerions. The
loss 10 this institution will not be Of much moment
The loss by this great fire is estimated at one
million Of dollars.

CHOLERA MARROW ESCAPE FROM BEING
BURIED ALIvE-A correspondent of the Bos-
ten Journal, writing under date of Manepy,
Jaffna, Ceylon, April 18th, furnishes the follow
ing thrilling accounts:
a. have alluded TO the prevalence of cholera.
The ravages of the disease in the parish Of
Manepy have been fearful. never before re-
allied the presence of death as for some time
when the pestilence was at its height. In some
instances the attack seemed to be nothing but
death itself from the outset, and the victim
was hurried into the grave within six hours,
and even less, from the time of the first appear
ance of the disease. The people have such a
fear Of having corpse in the house that they
bury as soon as possible after the breath has
left the body, and in some cases we have reason
to believe, even before life is extinct. Several
instances Of this kind have been reported, and,
in regard to the death Of some Of the native
Christians by this disease, we have had most
painful suspicious and fears.
~ will mention one or two authentic cases
where persons narrowly escaped being buried
alive, as such instances may not be without use
as warnings, even in America. One occurred
in February, in village (Aslavorlty) adjoin-
ing Manepy. A person who was attacked with
cholera requested his friends not to bury him
at once if he died, but to wait for some time.
He died within eight or nine hours, as was sup
posed, when his friends, without regarding his
plainly expressed wish, prepared for the inter
ment; but one Of them, having recalled the
dying mans request, delayed the funeral three
or four hours. Meanwhile the body moved,
and the man asked for congy or Cruel; the
heat Of the body returned, and the man has
since regained his usual health. Again, only
few Sabbath mornings since, teacher in
the Sabbath school at this station--whichs school,
by the way, has been entirely broken up tor
more than three months by the cholera
pointed out to me little girl, a member of his
class who was supposed to have died, but as it
was late in the afternoon, she was wrapped in
mat--nearly all are buried here without
collins of any sort--and the corpse left till the
morning for interment During the night the
poor little creature revived SO much as to com
plain Of the cold, or to ask for food, when she
was cared tor, and has since become SO well as
10 be able to attend the Sabbath and day
schools.

The NAVAL Schools AT ANNAPoLIs.-The
annual examination of this academy, which has
lately closed, was Of the most gratifying char
acter and the class of young officers Just
graduated have by their attainments in nautical
science, &C., reelected upon themselves the
highest credit, and shown their worthiness Of
the fostering care bestowed on them by the Of
fcers of the institution.
On Thursday last the Scholarship Preble
sailed from Hampton Roads with forty mid
shipmen on board, who will pass the summer
on the ocean in acquiring practically know
ledge of all the duties of seamen. Before her
return to our shores, the Preble will make a
brief visit to the great naval stations of Ply
mouth and Portsmouth, in England, and Brest
and Cherbourg, on the coast of France.
The visit of our young seamen to the estab-
lishments will serve not only to instruct them,
but also to impress them with the power of our
great rivals and thus early awaken in them
an honorable emulation and Just sense of the
responsibilities to which they aspire, and which
it may be their high privilege to share.
Il is much to be regretted that time did not
admit of the cruize of the Preble being ex-
tended to the Baltic, which now bears upon its
waters the most magnificent feet that ever
lifted anchor, and displays to naval officers o
school of instruction and observation such as
has never been opened to them before.
An earnest desire is thus very laudably mani
tested by the Secretary Of the Navy to rear up
corps of officers every way qualified to SUI.
tain the naval character of the republic. There
is no department of the government which
might be made to yield richer harvest Of per
sonal fame and of public good than that over
which he presides.
