The Hillsborough recorder. [volume] (Hillsborough, N.C.) 1820-1879, 1861-03-06

A woman, about seventy years Of age, died
recently in Syracuse, n. T., in great desti-
tuition aud received a panper's burial. She
had endeayored to sustain herselfby making
/" Grecian paintings" and fancy work. She
represented herself to be the widow Of fur
mer United States Senator Of New York,
and that at his death she had been defrauded
Of an estate Of seventy thousand dollars BY
his brother. Her statements were not cred
tied. But il is since discovered that the
deceased was the widow Of Obadiah Ger
main, who resided at Norwich, Chanango
county, and represented New York in the
United States Senate from 1909 to 1878.

The PowER OF HEARTY LAUeHTER.-The
following incident comes to us thoroughly
authenticated, although we are notat liberty
to publish any names: A short time since
two individuals in this city we're living IN
one room very sick, one with brain fever and
the other with an aggravated case Of mumps.
They we're so low that watchers were need
cd every night, and il was thought doubtful
il the one sick Of fever recovered. A gem
tlcman was engaged TO watch one night, his
duty being to wake the nurse whenever it
became necessary to administer medicine.
In the course Of the night both watcher and
nurse fell asleep. The man with the mamps
lay watching the clock, and saw that it was
time to give the fever patient his potion
lie was unable to speak aloud or to move
any portion Of his body except his arms, but
seizing pillow, he managed 70 strike the
watcher in the face with it. Thus suddenly
awakened. the watcher sprang from his seat,
falling to the floor and awakening both the
nurse and feyer-patient. The incident struck
both the sick men as very ludicrous, and
they laughed most heartily at it for fifteen
or twenty minutes. When the doctor came
in the morning, he found his patients vastly
improved said he had never known SO sud
den turn for the better-and they are nov
both out and well. Who says laughter il
not the best of mediciness

ErrToMIsEp FAcrs.-The number Of Ian
guages now spoken is 4.O64. The number
Of men is about equal to the number of wo-
men. The average of human life is SIS years.
One quarter die before the age of Z; one
half before the age of IL. TO every 1000
persons, only one reaches 100 years, and not
more than one in 500 will reach so years.
There are on the earth l,OO0, 200, 600 inhabi-
fants. OF these S3,553, $3.50 die every year,
el,s24 die every day, 1870 every hour, and
60 per minute, or one every second. These
losses are about balanced BY an equal mum
Der of births. The married are longer liy-
ed than single, and above all, those who OBJ
serve sober and industrious conduct. Tall
men live longer than short ones. Women
have more chances Of life, previous TO the
are of fifty years, than men, but fewer after.
The number Of marriages are in the proper
ton 20 to 100. Marriages are more frequent
after the equinoxes, that is, during the
months of June and December. Those born
in the spring are generally more robust than
others. Births and deaths are more frequent
BY day than night. The number Of men ca
pable of bearing arms is Onefourth Of the po-
pulation.

THE BORDER STATES.

The current revolutionary proceedings have
undergone SO many changes Of aspect, that
popular opinions expressed in one stage Of
them, cannot be assumed to apply to another
stage Of them.
In this region of the country, upon the first
shock of the success of a political party, which
had substantially no sdherents and was the OBJ.
jsct of accumulated prejudices, the minds Of
men were accessible to almost any suggestion
which promised relief from disagreeable re-
suit. The most common and plausible Of these
suggestions, was that of the reconstruction
Of the Government, which amounted to carry
ing it on in the old hands and under the old
dynasty, with Washington retained as the cap.
ital, and with New England and some other
" "fanatical" regions sloughed off, Time has
quietly disposed of this suggestion. 1t is seen
that Mr.. Lincoln is to be iuaugurated, that
Washington is to remain the capital of the
old United States, and not of a reconstructed I"
United States, and that the question for South
ern States, is the simple one, of remaining in
the Union, or going out of it.
Thousands of men who were inclined to the
idea Of reconstruction" revolt at the idea Of
disunion, and it is thus that as time develops
the true issue to be acted upon, the fomenters
Of mischief in these border States are becom.
ing every day less formidable.
