Seduction and Revenge.

The Washington Union Of Wednesday
last, gives the following account Of the last
murder in that city:
A cold blooded murder was yesterday
afternoon added 10 the metropolitan chron.
icle Of crime. Mr. Thomas Berry, the vic
tim, called at the house Of bis wife's mo-
ther, on Pennsylvania avenue, TO visit bis
wife and change bis clothes. While there
be was attacked by two Nessrs Devlin,
(brothen to bis wife and by a third per-
son whose name is unknown, and was cru.
ely murdered. The brothers Deylin, we're
arrested, aud after examination before Jus.
tice Goddard, were committed TO JAIL
The testimony was full ard conclusive.
Itappean from the evidence that Mr..
BeTy, about two years since, seduced the
sister Of the Deylins, but afterward maHi-
ed her and removed to Ohio. He return.
ed to this vicinity few weeks since, aud
bad commenced getting up business d.
rectory at Washington. The Devlius
have never forgiven him the wrong done
their sister, and have often threatened that
they would sooner or later be revenged
upon him. They had also warned him
never to come near their mothers house.
When they found him there yesterday
afternoon they at once attacked him, ac-
companied by another man. The elder
brother, John T Devlin, caught him, threw
him down, and held him fast, until the
younger one struck several fatal blows
with dirk knife at his heart, causing al.
most instant death. The affair caused q
great excitement on Capitol Hill, and it
was at cue time thought that Judge Lynch
would open bis court for the summary
punishment Of the culprits.

why COusims should not Marry.

In the Annual Report Of the Superin-
tendent of the Kentucky Institution for the
Deaf and Dumb, we find the following con.
elusive argument against the marriage of
cousins;
From ten TO twenty per cent of deaf
mutes are the children Of cousins 1t is
greatly to be regretted that the law forbid.
ding the marriage of first cousins did not
pass the recent Legislature These mar
riages are violation of law Of nature, as
is evidenced by the affections visited in al
most every case upon their offspring in
deafness, blindness, and idiocy: and ought
to be violation of human laws also. The
Commonwealth has the clear right to pro.
tect itself against these illstarred matches,
whose offspring it has to surtain, too fre-
quently for life. 1t mag be hoped that
this important subject will not escape the
action Of our legislators many years longer
1t is confidently believed that by forbid
ding marriages ofthis kind and by proper
attention Bnd care ofinfants laboring under
the diseases stated, the number of dea
mules in the community, might be dimin
ished one half in a generation.

The cattle trade of 0his has grown We.
ry extensively Of late years. In 1856 the
state sent $4,000 bead to New York city,
and in 1857 50,OUo head, besides some
$4,000 sent to Philadelphia, and many to
Baltimore. At least 10000 head Of cat.
lie were sent 10 these three cities in 1857.
The hog trade is far greater; and not
withstanding that the number vf live and
dressed hogs exported from the state has,
in the past few years, increased rapidly,
the numbers packed at Cincinnati have not
declined. According to the annual report
of the commissioner of statistics, just pub.
lished, the aggregate value of farm pro-
ducts is S1S2, 100000, and the net profits
$57, 100000. The price Of wood for fu-
el varies from $3.50 to $275 per cord, and
is highest in counties through which main
lines Of railway pass, on account Of the
vast quantities Of wood consumed by the
locomotives. These roads consume annu-
ally the product of twelve thousand acres
of land. Farm labor is uniformly high,
the average wages being SIS per month
and board This is owing to the growth
of towns and manufactures. which Seadi.
y causes tue agricultural supply to dimin'
ish, so that large farmers only are able tc
secure their crops by the use Of machinery
There are 5000 steam engines, equivalent
to 10000 horse power, 2,2OO griSt mills,
3,740 saw mills, It's planning mills, and
10 oil mills. In 1857 there were made
by the principal factories 5000 agricultu'
raj machines.

rER.-Perfumes are the poetry of the toi-
let, and persons of elegant tastes and Tefn-
ed perceptions, are always more or less
fastidious in the choice of these articles
The ladies of Spanish America, who are
critical in such matters, have for num-
Der of years given the preference to this
odoriferous Toilet Water. Until lately it
has been manufactured almost solely fr
South and Central American consumption,
but its superiority over the oppressive per
fumes of Europe having been discovered
in this country, demand has been crea-
ed for it which the proprietors are now u.s.
ing their utmost exertions to supply. Be-
sides its merits as delicious fumigant,s it
is, when blended with water, an excellent
preparation for the skin and an admirable
dental wash.

TEMPERATURE OF THE ISTERIoR OF The
EARTH.-It is found that the increase Of
temperature in the earth's interior is about
one degree Fahrenheit for every IS yards
Of descent. In all probability, however,
the increase will be found to he iu a geo.
metrical progression as investigation IS ex-
tended, in which case the present crust will
probably be found to be much thinner than
has usually been calculated. And should
this found TO be correct, the ingenious the.
ory will become matter Of much more
importance, in a geological point of view
than it is at present considered. Taking,
then, as correct, the present observed rate
Of increase, the temperature and IFS phe.
nomena will be as follows: Water vii
boil at the depth of 2,430 yards; lead viii
melt at the depth of s,4OO yards; there i
a red heat at the depth Of seven miles
gold melts at tweuty-one miles; cast iror
at seventy.four miles; soft iron at ninety
seven miles; and at the depth of one hun
dred miles there is a temperature equal tC
the greatest artificial heat yet obtained
a temperature capable of fusing platina

tory substance.
