The forlon condition of bachelors has always
been a favorite theme for ladies, editors and
other wits to expatate upon. The untidy room,
the buttonless shirts, the stockings, full Of holes,
and the thousand other inconveniences of the
unmarried state are familiar, in this way, to the
most obtuse Of us all.
The poor bachelors have, in fact, hard
time Of it. They have been ridiculed by the
sex, and sometimes taxed by Legislators, and
now staticians deal them "the unkindest cut OF
all, by proving that they die earlier than
married men. The celebrated DIR. Caspar, OF
Berlin, estimates the mortality among bache
Tors, between the ages Of thirty to forty.five, at
twenty-seven per cent; while the mortality
among married men, between the same ages,
is only eighteen per cent. AS life advances the
difference becomes even more striking. Where
forty one bachelors attain the age Of forty,
there are seventy-eight married men, differ
ence OF nearly ten to one in favor of the latter
AT the age of sixty there are forty-eigbt mar
ried men to twenty-five bachelors at seventy,
eleven bachelors to twenty-seven married men,
and at eighty, nine married men to three bache.

Heavy Haul of rfsh.

Probably the largest number Of large fish ever
made by a.single haul of the seine was made
in the Patuxent river on Sunday week. 1t seems
almost incredible, but such is the fact, that
twenty-six hundred large rock fish were drawn
TO the shore; the aggregate weight Of which
was twenty-five thousand pounds, or twelve
and half tons, When they we're ready to be
taken TO market, two small vessels were pro
vided, both Of which we're filed, one for this
city, and the other for Philadelphia. The boat
arrived at the wharf in this city yesterday morn
ing, and attracted large number of persons
to witness SO rare a sight. AT 6rst they were
sold at very low prices, bat they went of SC
rapidly that the price was soon raised. Long
before night however, they we're all gone and

A CURosrTY.-We are informed that the old
sulphur springs, which few years ago was To-
Gated in the bed of Falling Rnn, near the old
bridge on the lower Vincennes road, but which
for the last few years had disappeared, broke
out yesterday about two hundred feet up the
side of the knob, just above the place where
some years ago some of our citizens were bor-
ing for salt water or coal. The water which
in times past was Of slight blush tinge, has
changed color with the change of location, and
is now Of deep lilac color and more strongly
tinctured with medical qualities than formerly
The stream 1t issues from the spring, is raised
TO the height of some three and a half feet, and
presents beautiful appearance. IL is well
worth visit, to view this wonderful freak Of
nature.
Some Of the water is now in the hands Of
skillful chemist, and as soon as thoroughly ana.
Used, we will endeavor to lay the result before
our readers.--New Albany Tribune, 3lst.

Iodine derives its name from iodos, a Greek
word signifying "violetcolorcd," but the tran
scendent beauty of the color of its vapor re
quires further elucidation than simply saying
that ii has "violethue.n If little iodine be
placed on hot tile, it rises into a magnificent
dense vapor, fit for the last scene Of theatrical
representation. This remarkable substance was
discovered by accident about forty years ago.
At that period chemical philosophy was in great
repute, owing principally to the brilliant dis
coveries of Sir Humphrey Davy. SO singular
substance as iodine was to Davy source of in
finite pleasure. He studied its nature and pro-
perties with the fonduess and zeal of child at
puzzle map. His great aim was to prove its
compound natures but in this he failed; and to
thia day II is believed to be one of the primi-
tive "elements" of the world we ivein. Iodine
is found in almost every natural substance with
which we are acquainted, although in very
minute portions. The sea furnishes an almost
inexhanstible supply Of iodine. All the fish,
the shells, the sponges, the weeds of the ocean
yield 1t in passing through the chemical sieve.
Whatever be the food of sea-weeds, il is certain
