A WARNING To OLD BAcHELoRs.-The
members of the Royal Statistical Society OF
Great Britain have paid great attention to
the subject of human life, and have just
concluded thorough investigation, which
has occupied the last fourteen years. The
result of their labors is, that the duration OF
life of married men is greater than that of
unmarried men-the difference being 3-4
years in favor of,the former.-Detroit Ad-
vertiser.
Besides that married man lives more in
one year than bachelor would in an entire
eternity. How much longer, therefore, does

Rowdyism.

The spirit of profanity interminged with the
love Of fighting, is apparently on the increase in
this place. Scarcely an evening goes by with
out an outburst from the many miniature hands
of " Plug Uglies" and Side Winders," which
abound and have abounded in this place and
New Hope That rum has large and in the
matter we need not avow. A few evenings
since as the trains were passing the depot, and a
large concourse of people had assembled in the
neighborhood of the Canal Bridge, party Of
drunken rowdys from the other side of the water
pounced upon an inebriated man who was pas

fell in a remarkable short space of time, but be-
fore any arrests were made alb engaged in the

here would stay outside Of our bounds if were
not for the spirit of retaliation existing among
many of our " nice young men. We hope our
officers will check these scenes before they arrive
at anything more brutal Our town is not in
the mood to allow any manifestations of this
species of rowdyism, and it has been determined
among many to effect premature death to all
glorious old sprees," which spirit we hope will
not die out No benefit will be derived to the

A Bold Robbery.


The house of Mr. Jonas Melick, in Round Val
ley, Clinton Township, in this County was en-
tered on Tuesday night the 14th inst, by par
ty of thieves, and five hundred dollars stolen, be-
sides lot of jewelry belonging to the family
and half dozen shirts, and various other small
articles The money consisted of about two
hundred dollars in gold the balance in silver and
bills on the Hunterdon County Bank, Somerset
County Bank, and the Iron Bank at Morristown.
The entrance was affected through window,
and the locks of the bureau containing the prop
erty was bored off. There was four or five per-
sons sleeping in different parts of the house at
the time, and, strange to say, not one of them
heard the least bit of noise during the night, nor
did they know that a robbery had been commit
ted until morning. No clue to the rascals can
be found The only marks left behind them was
that they had burnt the window curtain little
where they made their entrance, and the marks
of wagon and two horses where they had been
tied near the premises. 1t is extremely surprising
how they got off without being discovered by
some one, when we consider what beautiful
light evening it was and that the house is situa-
ted right along the road and surrounded by
large number of inhabitants and close neighbors
We hope that some clue may be had of the ras-
Gals, SO that they may be brought to Justice

named George Leise, committed suicide in the
Berks county prison, Pa, on Wednesday after
noon last by hanging himselfin his cell with some
carpet strips. Leise lived in a shanty on the
Neversink, in the vicinity Of Hener's Spring, and
was noted for bad conduct generally. He was
committed to prison for threatening the life of
the Hon. j. Pringle Jones. An inquest was
held by the coroner and verdict returned in
accordance with the facts. The deceased was

ten miles an hour. During the blowing on
Wednesday, cogwheel gave way which sus-
pended all operations, but this did not happen
until the crowd was satisfied that the machine
did its work well and is a very valuable inyen-

QUITE A SEVERE HAILsToRM passed across
Baltimore county, few miles north OF this city,
on Thursday evening. 1t is reported to have
extended from Howard county on the. west to
Long Green on the east, and how much further
we are not informed. The damage done to the
crops, &c., is supposed to have been greatest
near Govanstowns where Mr. Niles had from
fifteen to twenty acres of wheat destroyed. In
Long Green the stones are said to have been as
much as three inches in circumference, though
not abundant, and therefore not very Injurious
The damage in other places is not stated to be
very considerable. Bali naore Patriot, June
