Mr.. W1NsHIP's New LEoruRE.-We find in the
Boston Traveller the condensed report of the topics
treated in new lecture by DR.. Geo. B. Winship,
of Massachusetts. He advocated keeping the
head up, the chest expanded sleeping in a room
through which there is draft of air. after getting
gradually accustomed to it; exercising with dumb
bells, or something similar every day or two, or
three times week, from twenty to forty minutes
a day; avoiding all deliberations, and everything
that has come in contact with zinc, lead or other
poisonous substances; performing ablutions twice
a week, and lifting to strengthen the muscle. IA
Tie speaker gave an account of progress in lift
| ing until last May, when he succeeded in 1iftng
l20S lbs, and by means of harness apparatus he
will Lift 1000 lbs, his aim being to get to lift
1000 lbs. before great while, thus verifying the
prophecy of Sir David Brewster that could be
shown to be the weight medium sized man could
raise. After the lecture Dir. Winship gave some
examples of his strength. He lifted 1882 lbs. dead
weight with his hands, raised himself by the little
finger of each hand in leather strap, in one case
raising himself up for about minute. He con-
cluded by lifting barrel of flour, weighing 2l5
pounds, direct from the floor and placing it on his
| shoulder,

Mr.. EdHor---In your weekly issue of the 9Th
December, notice q short article on the above
caption. As ! think there are some errors con-
tanned in the article mentioned, 7 propose to give
you q hint or two on the same subject which you
may dispose Of as You think proper.
In the first place, never shoot partridges "sixty
yards" | never aim in advance of the bird at
which am shooting, let it fly in whatever direction
it may. If the bird flies at right angles, with line
running in front of me, invariably aim as near at
it as possibly can, but take care to keep my gun
moving in the same direction with that taken by
the bird. Those who aim in advance of birds fly
ing never make very accurate marksmen, from the
fact that they cannot be sufficiently accurate in
Judging Of the distance, in order to make the
proper allowance; bird at long range requiring
less time to pass the line taken by the shot.
By always aiming directly at any moving object,
with the gun moving in the same direction, and
with the speed necessary to cover the object with
the aim, III ensure you always "dead shot,
II this should be favoraby received by you, /
may give you a few other hints in regard to the
size and weight Of the gun, the manner of taking
aim, ETC.; but / shall only give such as have
gained from long experience in shooting every
species of bird Or fowl to be found in our climate.
SPARTA, Ala. W. LEE.
We cannot acquiesce in our correspondents the
ory unless he can show that the relative speed of
the birds fight and the passage of the shot have
nothing to do with the matter The article he al.
ludes to was, we believe, from the Spirit Of the
Times.

| THE ANTARCTIC REGIoSs.-Lieut. Maury, of the
| United States Navy, who is now on a visit to Eu
rope, addressed the Royal Geographical Society Of
England on the 18th ult., in relation to the An
tar:tic regions. he stated that the winds near the
equator, on the south side, were more southerly
than those farther SOUTH until between $50 and 400
aouth latitude, the wind during exactly half the
year southerly and for the other half northerly
| The larger proportion Of water in the southern
hemisphere is sufficient to account for its warmer
temperature, and Lieut.. Marry accordingly sup
poses the effect to be produced by the greater fall
Of rain observed in the south. On the coast of
Patagonia the annual fall of RAIN if estimated from
the observed fall during forty-one days must be
nearly twelve feet instead of two feet, as in the
neighborhood of London; and this great conden-
sation of the vapor, he assumes, causes it to part
with its latent heat, and warm the atmosphere.
The mean height of the barometer is half an inch
less than north Of the equator. Beyond 500 south
the wind blows generally toward the pole, which
he attributes to the comparative heat of the An
tarctic regions. The wind is also much stronger
than in the north. The frequent appearance Of
large icebergs in those seas indicates that there
must be land in the Antarctic region, for ice
bergs are never far at sea. The region to be
explored is only ten days steam from Australia,
and Lieutenant Maury urged the Society to enter
upon the work of exploration. Important re-
sources may perhaps be opened, and if the Geo
graphical Society does not shortly undertake the
matter, he said the United States would. Lieut..
Maury was received with much applause by
crowded auditory, and at the close of his address
the thanks Of the meeting were voted to him.

"Garibaldis nglishman,n Major Peard, is in
Disgrace at home. A correspondence of the
Liverpool Times asserts that in Italy nothing can
exceed, the detestation in which he is held. He is
naughty aud overbearing in his demeanor toward
the volunteers, and both Incorporate and cruel.
On one of his marches he stepped aside into a
farmhouse in which an old man, whom the war
had impoverished, lay sick in bed Peard put some
questions to him which he did not understand and
could not answer, upon which the Major drew bis
dagger and stabbed the poor man in various parts
OF the body. He threatened to shoot his men fire.
