US all to prepare for that summons
which all must obey, calling US away
from our earthly labors.
Resolved, That to the widow of our
deceased brother, in her loneliness and
distress, we tender our heartfelt SYM

hour of peril and distress.
Resolved, That as mark Of respect,
the Lodge will wear the usual badge
of mourning for thirty days.
RESOLVED, That copy of these reso-
lntions be sent to the widow and pub

GlOcuI1Ondry.
Annexed we give an article from
the Hunterdon Gazette, relating to
Professor Slbbett, who is now in this
place endeavoring to raise class to
study Elocutioh. We have every rea-
son to suppose the Prof. competent to
the task of teaching this branch, and
recommend him to our rising popula-
ton.
"Prof. Sibbet, of Detroit, Mich,
has closed his classes in Reading and
Elocution in this place, and we are
happy to say that he has given univer-
sal satisfaction His method of teach
ing is one that cannot fail of success, as
he teaches principles rather than
rules. This plan of teaching is the
only one that can effectually draw out
the mind. so that it can comprehend
the philosophy of science, without
which there can be 10 true progress IN
any department Of knowledge. The
Prof. has had large and intelligent
Glass of ladies and gentlemen in our
place, and the rapid Improvement they
have made in their reading, proves
that the training under which they have
been put, has had about it the ring of
the true metal
eve hope wherever Mr.. Sibbet may
go that his merits as a teacher of Elo
cution will be acknowledged and ap-
preciated."

Importance of Pure Air.

Importance of Pure Air.
The vital statistics of this country
and of England clearly prove that
health is promoted and life prolonged
by breathing pure air, while the con-
trary effect is produced by inhaling the
foul air of close and unventilated rooms.
In Massachusetts, from l843 to 1851,
the average age at death of farmers,
gard eners, and nurserymen, who pass
the most of the time in the pure open
air, was fraction over 81 years. The
average age at death of those engaged
in indoor occupations was much less,
and varied according to the degree Of
crowding, and the closeness and i'm
purity of the air in which they worked.
Dressmakers died at the average age
of 33a, clerks or book Keepers 3355,
milliners IS, bookbinders 37dk, teachers
80, tailoresses 4Oaa, tailors 4244, print
ers 40, editors AZ, shoemakers 43; thus
losing on an average from 20 to 80
years of life as compared with farmers
chiefly from want of pure air to breathe
That 1t is not owing to a want Of ex-
ercise alone, is shown from the fact
that those engaged in other indoor
occupations requiring no less physical
exertion than farming, live no longer
than those engaged in more Inactive
occupations. Thus glass blowers die
at the average age of 57a years, nail
makers and machinists 38, furnacemen
All, and founders at AZ years. Much
of the benefit usually attributable to
exercise. is due to the fresh air in which
it is taken
