Editors IntCllissnccr;
1t was some wise man who said, when
you have nothing To say, say nothing"
| have no doubt you think that the same
rule would apply very aptly to most Of
my jottings to your paper, and y0Ilywill
doubtless think that when | have
nothing to write should write nothing
But you must remember that It has al.
most becOme habit to write two or
three times u week and, whether the
dose given Is relished at all times by your
many readers, still 1t must be given, We
wish II known that Ec arc still alive and
that ALOnndsvillc il not entirely dead.
These bright warm days are causing
the trees to bud, and our beautiful valley
will soon be clothed in natures living
green. Gardeners and farmers are very
busy at work preparing the ground for
the coming crop. Much planting is
already done, and everything looks lively
in that line.

Geo. Edwards expects 10 go East soon

ceptlOn.
Our rolling mill is now in full blast,
and we think 1t will soon be paying IN

We want good company to start u
nail factory at once. 1t will pay well,
and we will no doubt have one soon,

Prof. Beamer understands the subject Of
PhrenolOgy well, and has one Of the finest

We wrote yesterday but too late for
the train
Prof. Beamcr's lecture last night was
listened to by nm audience Of about 200,
the great ma lority Of whom were, young
folks, and as the subject Of the lecture
was "MntrimOny' ii pleased that elias.
very much. lie made some very good
points and some not no good. The
majority Of our people vote him
humbug, but an inclined to
think that lie il not, from the fact, II
nothing else, that he had no small IN nr,
dience-humbugs generally draw lnlI
houses. GHGHsg4 iyu
There was n wedding at the NJ. i. Par.
Sonage yesterday, Two happy heaFIS
were made one. A Mr.. RulOng was the
happy man, and the fair brides name
was Zinck. They remained In town last
night and the young folks gave them II
real old.fashiohed serenade. May long
life, much peace, prosperity and happi-
ness be theirs. Thus two by two they go
and giddily rush to their fate go.

committee at the PcnitGntiary tn.day-
the Secretary Of State and others. Fur
ther particulars We know not. ~
The Hours Most Fatal 10 Liie.
(From an old NOwspaper) ...
Wehave ourselves ascertained tho hour
of death in 1850 instances of all ages,
and have arrived at interesting cOnclu-
sions. We may remhrk that lhepopula-
tion from which the data are derived Is II
mixed population in every respect, and
that the deaths occurred during apetiod
of seyeral Years, III the deaths Of the
$3.50 persons had occurred indiflerently
nj any hour during the twenly-iour, ont
hundred and twenty would have occur
red at each hour, But this was BY nc
means the case. There arc two hours II
which the proportion was remarkably
below this, two minimd, in fact, namely,
from midnight to O'clock, when The
deaths we're liily-three percent below the
average, and from noon TO | o'clock, whei
they we're twenty and thtee.fourths pei
cent below. From 3 to 0 o'clock A. NJ, In
elusive, and from 3 TO O'Clock II. 81. there
isa gradual increase in the former OF ~!

Inc the hour before midnight, when 1t
% per cent III excess; third hour Of y
cess Ia that from o tO 10 o'clock In Tilt
morning, being 81 pet cent dbove the ay'
erage. From IL A. N. to 3 r. N. the death
! are less numerous, being lBl per cont be
low the average, the hour before noon be
ing the most fatal. From 3o'ClOck r. n, II
7P.M. the deaths rise to % per cent abov
the average, and then fall Iron tina

below the mean. During tho hour iron

the morning until midnight the death
are at or below the mean the hours from
10 to II A. NJ, 4 to 8 and 0 to lOr. NJ
being minima, but the hour alter mid
night being the lowest maximum; at a
the hours, from 9 to 10 A. ~, the death
