:. DB- A recent work on longevity states
that in the long list Of very aged persons,
there was not a solitary instance of a
bachelor or an idlcr. Almost all were
hard workers, bat the labor was of the
body rather than the mind. At the pres

our cities, it is notorious that mental anx-

~ a writer in the Horticultural Cab
met says that he has for several years pre-
served his cabbages from the attacks of
caterpillars by placing little bags Of sui
pher on sticks, about eighteen inches high,
among the beds of all the cabbage tribe
He has found the same effect from strew-
ing sulpher over all trees and shrubs which
are subject to the attacks of injurious in
sects-they cannot stand the smell Of
sulpher. A teaspoonfal enclosed in

~ The Louisville Journal, while not
liking Senator Summers speech, was still
more displeased with Senator Chestnuts
reply. 1t says:
"We do not think that any gentleman,
Though We have hitherto thought Mr.:
Chestnut one, could have been guilty Of
such remarks. If the South Carolina
Senator was anxious to denounce and
grossly insult some Abolition member of
Congress for an Anti Slavery speech, he
certainly knew good many Of them who
had made far ooarser, and bitter, and more
Eferocious ones than that of the Massachu-
setts Senator. Mr.. Chestnut spoke of
Sumner as coward, and We have no doubt
that he was perfectly sincere in his opini-
. on. He meant to be discreet in his selee-
ton of the subject of his attack. He
didn't like the thought Of being cracked
chestnut.
Il p| A distressing case of suicide took
place on the Northern Central Railway,
about three miles from Baltimore, on Sat-
, urday afternoon. Mrs. Sarah Rebecca
Davis, young married lady, jumped from
a an embankmcnt along the bank Of Jones'
a Falls She struck sharp rock, causing
the brain to protrude, and fell into the
