YEARLY FooD OF ONE MAN.-From the army
and navy diet scales of France and England,
which, of course, are based upon the recognii:
ed necessities of large number of men in
active life, 1t is inferred that about two and
one fourth pounds avoirdupois of dry food,
per day, are required for each individual; Of
this about three-fOurths are vegetable; and
the rest animal. At the close of an entire
year, the amount is upwards of 500 pounds.
Enumeratlng under the title of water all the
various drinks coffee, tea, alcohol, wine, &c
its estimated quantity is about Is, 900 pounds
per annum. That is for the air received by
breathing may be taken at 500 pounds. With
these figures before US, says the Medical
IF0ria, we are able to see how the case stands.
The food, water and air which man receives,
amount, in the aggregate, to more than 500
pounds year; that is to about a ton and Q
half, or more than twenty times his weight.
This enormous quantity may well attract our
attention TO the expenditure OF materal requi-
red for supporting life. A living being is the
result and representation Of change on a prodi-
gious scale.

WASHINGTON AS A FIRHMAS.-We take from
the Alexandria Gazette the following inter-
esting reminiscence Of Alexandria sixty years
ago:
about sixty years ago, the house at the
northwest corner of King and Royal streets,
which was burned On Tuesday morning last,
caught fire, at the northeast end, on Roysi
street. General Washington was Just riding
into town at the time he dismounted, gave
his horse to his servant, and got upon an en-.
gine near the fre, on Roy yal street, and worked
like working man, as he was when he had
work to do. The engine is said TO be the Old
Friendship, which was then kept in q small
house al the mouth of Sharpshin Alley, and
the nearest one to the fire The Friendship
Company were at the fre of the Sd inst when
the old house was destroyed; but their old en-
gine-the one on which Washington worked
was not there it was sold, il is said, into the
country, some years ago. If so, the present
owners ought TO prize il highly, and when
called on to use it, remember who set them
the example of a good fireman. The old
house. sixty years ago, wss a tavern, and be-
longed to William Mcknight, an old revolu.
tionary soldier. A venerable gentleman, his
son, lately deceased, is the author of the
above reminiscence, and saw the occurrence
himself"

In Atlanta, in this State. Well, once upon q
time, two gentlemen (the one decidedly under
the influence Of a spiritual presence, and the
other apprOximsting the same condition) stop

some extraordinary manifestations Oh the part
Of tho tightest" gent, he soon found himself
" nigh unto a muss" with the Doctor His
friend, however, carried him of before mat
ters reached crisis. After slowing him avay
the friend returned, and accosting the pro-
prietOr, said very emphstically:
:" Sir, you have been treading upon danger
Gus ground, sir; that man is not to be tamper-

Killed his mani" says Thompson, with a

ANEW ARrIcLE.-In his last letter from
IdIewild, N p. Willis. Esq, like perfect
wretch, +" makes mention Of fact, concerning
which he should have been confidential, as
follows:
The main objection you urge against riding
on horseback in the winter, (cold legs.) has
been somewhat lessened, Of late, by a result
of the present fashion Of ladies' potticoats-
the difficulty of warming those vast apart
ments in which Beauty principally resides,
having necessitated contrivance Of separate
temperature for their two almost unenclosed
suppositions.l This new article for ladies
wear is very thick St0ektnet LeSSts; and,
encroachment on woman's rights though y be
to recommend them for gentlemen profane
warmth, there is nothing to be bought ready
made, that will SO well answer your purpose.
