might be made into rustic pleasure ground
similar TO the Springs Gardens or Bromiaw of
formcr days. A spring on the grounds might
be turned to account, aud the low grounds near
}I,lfs Run would make if need be an excel
lent skating rink in the winter season.

Geneseo s lev days since. Just before
the time tor the lecture smallpox
made it's appearance in g single family
IN the village. A panic followed, the
Normal school vas cloeed aud the pu-
pjls sent home. the toll gates were
shut, the lecture was postponed, and
Genes4o dissolved her connection with
the res. o; msnkind When notified
nv the committee that the lecture had
been POSTPONED, Mr.. Beeches made 8
sensible reply SIS follows

Somebody who has been studying
our weights" reports thst, upon the Az
erage, BOYS, at brit, weigh 8 little
more. and girls g little less, than elk
pounds and malt. For the next twelve
wears the two sexes continue nearly
equal in weight, but beyond that time
males acquire decided preponderapce
Thus. Young men OF % average l43
rounds each. while young women OF
20 average 10 pounds. Men reach
their heaviest hulk a. ahout 81. when
their average is about l52 pounds; but
women slowly increase in weight until
so when their average is about l29
pounds. Taking men and women to-
geJber. their weight az tull growth sv-
ersges about ~ times As heavy ss
they were on the hrst day
Of their existence. Men range
rom one hundred and eiCh, to two hun
drei and twenty pounds (the Tichborne
