the same time, bill for regulating the elec-
tions in the colony was passed in the Assem-
bly, and sent to the Grand Council for ap-
proval. The Governor and his council treat.
ed this bill with the greatest possible con-
tempt. It was not so much as read over.
This insult was resented by many of the best
members of the Assembly leaving the house.
The majority of the Assembly weregood men
who studied the interest of the people, and had
the prosperity of the colony at heart. A
small minority were nothing but the tools of
the Governor. On the next day the members
who had Withdrawn returned and declared
their willingness to sit in the Assembly, pro-
vided the rest would unite with them in as
serting their rights. One-half Of the men,
bers had protested against the proceedings OF
the Governor, and others would have protest.
ed, but were prevented from doing so No
sooner had the members, who had left on the
day previous, entered the house, than they
were loaded with abuse. The Governor
Joined with those members of the Assembly
who were said to be "of no credit and no
sense" in scurrilously abusing the oldest and
best men in the colony. The thing did not
end in vile epithets and empty threats. The
Governor commenced to treat the multitude
InAamed by liquor and encouraged by the
Governor, his tools commenced work Of in
fanny and shame which was kept up for sew
eral days. John Ash, member of the AS
sembly, was beaten in the street by drunken
crowd and forced to rush into the bed room Of
friend. The house in which he took refuge
was surrounded, and at last, under false preten-
ces, he was induced to come out when he was
seized and dragged on board of Captain Will
liam Rhett's ship and threatened to be hanged,
sent to Jamaica, or sent off and placed on
some uninhabited island and there left to
perish. Colonel George Dearsby drew his
sword on Thomas Smith, who was an old set
tier, landgrave, and had at one time been
Governor If the colony. Captain William
Rhett beat Edmund Bellinger, justice Of
the peace, over the head, because he attempted
to restore order in the town. Neither age nor
sex was respected. Private houses were bro
ken open and private apartments entered and
deeds of horrid cruelty perpetrated. During
all this time, Governor Moore was either 81
lent spectator or drinking and carousing with
the infuriated rabble. Petition after petition
was sent to him by the insulted and injured
people, begging and entreating him, as Gov
ernor, to put stop to the riot. The only re-
ply they got was, "that is the business of q
justice of the peace"

THE PREVAILING HOUR OF DEATH.-Dr.
Lawson has recently published some curious
observations regarding the time of the day
when the greatest and least number of deaths
occur. He finds, from the study of the statis-
tics ofseveral hospitals, asylums, and other in
stitutions, that deaths from chronic diseases
are most frequent between the hours Of eight
and ten in the morning, and fewest between
like hours in the evening. Acute deaths from
continued fevers and pneumonia, take place
in the greatest ratio in the early morning,
when the powers fife are at their lowest, or
in the afternoon when acute disease is most &C.
tive. The occurrence of these definite daily
variations in the hourly death.rate is shown,
in the case of chronic diseases, to be depen-
dent on recurring variations in the energies
of organic life; and in the case of acute dis.
eases, the cause is ascribed to the existence of
either a we'll marked daily extreme Of bodily
depression, or daily maximum Of intensity
of acute disease.

How MARBLES ARE MADE.-The chief
place of the manufacture of marbles those
little pieces of stone which contribute so large
ly to the enjoyment of boys-is at Oberstein,
on the Nabe, in Germany, where there are
large agate mills and quarries, the refuse of
which is turned to good paying account by
being made into small balls, employed by ex-
perts to knuckle with, and are mostly sent to
the American market. The substance used
in Saxony is hard, calcereous stone, which
is first broken into blocks, nearly square, by
blows with hammer. These are thrown by
the hundred or two, into small sort of mill,
which is formed of fiat, stationary slabs of
stone, with number Of eccentric burrows
upon its face. A block of oak or other hard
wood, of the dametric size, is placed over the
stones, and partly resting upon them. The
small block of wood is kept revolving, while
water flows upon the stone slab. In about
fifteen minutes the stones are turned into
Spheres and then being 6tfor sale, are hence.
forth called marbles. One establishment, with
but three mills, turns out about sixty thou
sand marbles each week.
EFFECT OF L1GHT.-Dr. Moore, the meta
physician, thus speaks of the effect of light on
body and mind "a tadpole confined in dark
ness would never become frog and an in
fant being deprived of Heavens free light will
only grow into shapeless idiot, instead of
beautiful and reasonable being. Hence in
the deep, dark gorges and ravines of the Swiss
Valais, where the direct sunshine never
reaches, the hideous prevalence of idocy star
ties the traveller. 1t is strange, melancholy
idiocy. Many citizens are incapable of any
articulate speech; some are deaf, some are
blind, some labor under all these privations,
and all are mishapen in almost every part of
the body. I believe there is in all places
marked difference in the healthiness of houses
according to their aspect in regard to the sun,
and those are decidedly the heathiest, other
things being equal, in which all..the rooms are,
during some part of the day, fully exposed to
the direct light. Epidemics attack inhabi-
tants on the shady side of the street, and to-
tally exempt those on the other side and even
in epidemics, such as ague, the morbid inAu-
ence is often thus partial in its labors.
sl1sn"Sir," said the astonshed landlady to
traveller who had sent his cup forward for the
seventh time, "you must be very fond of cof
fee" "Yes, madam, am" he replied, "or I
should never have drank 80 much water to
get little"
