MORE OF THE FAMINE IN MICHIGAN.-
Distressing scenes.-The Michigan famine
is sadly pictured by writer from Detroit,
who says that in Gratiot county he saw a
woman who sustained her sick husband and
two children on maple sugar and leeks
several days before she could get other
relief; she then had to carry the provisions
several miles on her back. This woman
had taken care of her sick husband since
last August, and her family of two children,
beside which she made 100 pounds of
maple sugar, cleared the ground and hoed
in two acres of spring wheat, and planted
some corn and potatoes. She was habited
in tattered garments.
Another family of father and three
daughters, aged fifteen, twelve and ten,
said they lived on milk, maple sugar and
eeks for week after they could borrow
nothing more, before supplies reached
them. Two other families, consisting of
four grown persons and seven children, and
who considered themselves well off, had no
breadstufs except two bushels of spring
wheat, and like quantity of oats, which
they had got for seed. This they mixed
together and ground in a coffee mill. Milk,
and few fish they had caught, constituted
their supplies,

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT..
Can a. Child lire soithout Clothing

Can a. Child Lare sctth0ut Ctohtng
The following account of an extraordinary
experiment recently made by parent with
his infant child, for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether he can dispense with cloth
ing, is taken from the Dublin Evening
Mail:
The subject of the costume of the an
cient Britons has often been discussed; it
has been asserted that they were naked
Those who opposed that view adduced as
reasons the GOODNESS and variable nature of
the climate. The question has been set
at rest by an experiment which has recent
ly been made on child at ST. Anne's
Blarney, near Cork. The child is fourteen
months old, and is the son of Mr.. -, who
determined to ascertain what the human
frame would bear. The child is perfectly
naked night and day; he sleeps without
any covering, in a room with the thermome-
ter at 80 degrees from this he goes in a
bath at 1l8 degrees; he sometime goes to
sleep in the bath; he is perfectly indiffer-
ent to heat or cold /; is lively, active, cheer
full, and intelligent: his appearance CON
stantly reminds the observer of the best
efforts of our best painter and sculptors.-
Therein is the beau ideal he is the reality
His simple, natural, easy, graceful and
ever-varying postures, are charming. lie
arrests the attention and commands the
admiration of all who see him. The pecu
liar character of his skin is very striking :;
it is exquisitely healthy and beautiful. 1t
may be compared to the rays of the sun
streaming through painted window
During the progress of the experiment he
has cut three teeth without manifesting any
of she disagreeable symptoms usual to
children in that condition. He appears to
be quite ;nsensible to pain Occasionally
he has an ugly fall, but not sound escapes
from his lips. His manners, demeanor and
general behavior, are equally striking. His
mode of saluting a person is to take the
hand in graceful manner and kiss it. He
is under the complete control of his father,
and is perfectly quiet during meals, and
also whenever he is told to be so. He goes
about all day, amusing and occupying him
self in quiet way. No one accustomed
to children would know there was a child
in the house. So incredible are these re
suits, that some of the residents at st. An
| ne's regard the whole matter with mingled
feelings of horror, amazement and wonder.
| Those who have made careful observa-
| ton for themselves and prefer the evidence
of their eyes rather than their ears, see
nothing but to admire and respect. No
doubt some of them would even go so far
as to repeat the experiment on their own
! children, were it not for the fear of that
terrible question, What will Mrs. Grundy

Lawrence, K. T., under date of April 10Th, as
follows
1.-The rush of emigration seems 10 increase
every day. 1t is amusing to watch it from day
to day. We have names on our register every
day, from almost all the Northern States, and
occasionally name from slave State
Yesterday, party of Germans came in from

They are fine singers, and have been practcing

erythng is quiet in the Territory now, and most
people think it will remain Ii the pro-slayery
party want another fuss, they can have it, but it
will be sorry thing for them.
The late election in Leayenworth has caused a
great sensation here, and has quite dashed the
pro.slavery party. They thought they were strong
enough to carry the day, without any help from
Missouri so they agreed with the free State men
not to let any one vote who had not been in that
Territory six months. The result proved their
vain confidence Leavenworth being their strong
est point in the Territory, you will perceive that
their glory is departing"

MAY DAT.-Yesterday was an unusually pleas
ant day for the lst of May, and it was generally
improved by the young people of the city, There
was great deal Of riding out into the country,
and not little walking in the fields and woods /;
and if May flowers were scarce, there was no
doubt a great deal of satisfaction and enjoyment
to many, in the thought that the frost was nearly
out of the ground, and that the snow upon the
hills was dissolved, except in few places that
were partially sheltered from the direct lays of
the sun, giving promise that at some time, not
far removed, the real Spring time of the year
would come.

that the opinion of the Supreme Court ANNOUNCE
