The Will Of DIR. J c. Warren--SingulaT
Orders

DR. John C. Warren. probably the most
eminent physician in the United States who
recently died in Boston left singular orders
in regard to The disposal OF his body. One of
our Boston exchanges says:
The will Of the doctor provided for the
disposition of his body with an especial refer
ence to the science which h- had long pur
sued and adorned The will required that
the BODY should remain twenty iour hours.
ar the close of which time arsenic Should be
infused into the veins at the end Of the next
twentv-four hours, the funeral ceremonies
should take place, and the body be disposit-
ed benea h St. pauls Church, and twenty four
hours thereafter was to be given for examin
alton to the officers OF the Medical College and
the physicians of the Massachu sets General
Hospital, TO ascertain certain peculiarities
which he had suffered TO exist. After this
the flesh WAS 70 be taken from the bones.
the bones mascerated. wired and depos-
tied in the college museum. The will we
understand, is peremptory upon the exact full
fllmtn: of this requirement. and 1t has been
complied witt. as far time has permitted
We learn tha. his youngest son. from strong
ilal regard, requested the gift Of his fathers
heart which he would preserve.

responded TO Mr.. De Courcey in an off hand
humorous manner that kept the audience IN
perfectly good humor during all his sharp
sayings for another hour.

a defence of his voting for Harry Clay, and at
the end was greeted with much applause
The meeting adjourned to meet in New
port. AT Newport the organization Of the
Republican party in Campbell county was
completed. and delegates chosen to the Phila-
delphia Convention Addresses were made
by Messrs. c. NJ. Clay and Jas. Elliott Very
great enthusiasm prevailed. and at la,e hour
the Convention adjourned.
At Alexandria not the slightest disturbance
occurred, but TO both sides patient hearing
was granted by the audience who filed the
Court Room and crowded eagerly around the
doors and windows.

No Young lady can be too well instructed
in anything that VIII effect the comfort of
family. Whatever position in society she
may occupy, she needs a practical knowl
edge of the duties of house keeper She
NAV be placed in such circumstances that it
will be unnecessary for her to perform much
domestic labor: but on this account she needs
no less knowledge than if she was obliged
70 personally preside over the cooking stove
aud pantry. Indeed, l have often thought
it was more difficult tn direct others. and re-
quires more experience, than to do the same
with our own hands
Mothers frequently So nice and partc
ular in the domestic arrangements, that they
do not ike TO give up any part of their care
10 their children. This is a great mistake,
for they are often burdened with labor and
need relief Children should be early taught
to make themselves useful-to assist their
parents in every way in their power, and
consider it privilege to do SO.
Young people cannot realize the import
ance OF thorough knowledge of house
witerv, but those who have suffered the
Inconvenience and notifications of ignor-
ance. Children should be early INDUCED
in their disposition to bake and experiment
in cooking in various WAYS 1t is often but
a troublesome help they afford still it is a
great advantage TO them.
