Where ariU Mcy gct Husbonds!-Tt appears
ny -thc last census, that the excess of females
over males i'll the State Of Massachusetts is 3I.-

tendency among the sons of tho Bay State to emf

resort Of native and foreign females To the flcto

males IS S,uSS. One thing is certnin: Massachu-
sets cannot furnish husbands for its nl;rraqca-
Ole female population, and Lowell, especially
