MATRIMONY TO tlOLOMJ LIFE. Dr. Caspar, ft learned physician of Berlin, has made some curious calculations from which it appears that the chances or life are highly in favor of married over unmarried men and women. He asserts that the mean dura tion of life for married women of 25 is about 3G years; whilst for unmarried it is only 30. 12. At 30ther is a difference of four years in favor of the married, ut 3d two years and so on. He says, that according to the Amsterdam and Deptucioux tables, the mortality nmong unmarried men from 30 to -15 is twenty-seven percent., and only 10 for married ; and that for 11 bachelors who arrived at -10, there arc 7U married men. As age advunccs the difference is even more striking; at the age of sixty there are but 22 unmarried men alive for 43 married ; at the age of 70, eleven bachelors, for twenty seven married men, and ut HO, fur three bachelors who may chuncc to survive, there are nine married men. For females, the same proportion nearly holds good, as

seventy-two wives live until the ugc of forty-fie, whilst only fiftytwo spinistcrs reach the same time of life. Now, as lonjreviry nnd marriage appear to go hand in hand, we would advise such us inav desire.

Il is true the prospect is a bad one for such as may become paired and outmatched, but that is a mere circumstance nnd will cure itself in the long I in. 'Rait. . 'I me r icon. lV.r'.u.o-? or a itr.ADi.r. mn. The N. V. Mr a has the following. "Some of the most eminent physiologists of Germany nnd Trance, ore pertinaciously arguing the very curious question as to whether a man feels after his head is off. And this inquiry is considered by its conductors to be of more than physiological interest, because it involves a refined principal of humanity with regard to the punishmentof death by the guillotine. It is considered on all ndes that ihe body does not feel one instant after decupitation ; for the brain being the seat jof sensation to the w hole frame, through the medium of the spinal marrow, every part of the body beneath the joint at which the latter may be .. , , , , . l divided must be deprived ofi.i . ,. I. . ' feeling. But it by no means fl; lows that behead is deprived of sensation immediately after decapitation, nor that it may not rctuin its consciousness, and like Ihe head of (he Irish Knight who was killed of Sludin in the.

In support of this unpleasant theory many facts are adduced, with grave vouchers for their authenticity. Among others, is the most unfortunate Mary, Queen of Scotts, whose lips continued to move in prayer for at least aquarttr of an hour after the executioner had performed his duties. Windt states that af. ter having put his mouth to the ear of a decaoitated criminal's head, and called him by name, the eyes turned to the side from whence the voice came; and this is attestea uy rontenello, Mo gare.GaUotine.Nauche, and Al

ological possibility of consciousness after decapitation. In diseases of dislocation of the spinal marrow, the mind remains in full possession ( of its faculties, although all the lower limbs are utterly devoid of feeling; and at what point of scperatioti arc we justified in saying that the mind must loose its rational powers? If the brain retainshc images of vision, &f the forms of touch long after the Objects which Created them are withdrawn, why may , ' . ' we not suppose that it retains them after a sudden operation of the axe or guillotine1 Likt the ... e , , ... thlgll Of an amputated leg, Which (eels its toes lor ilnys, unci even weeks after the operation it may remain in imaginary possession o f all its corporal members, until the curtains of oblivion are gathered around its fading visions & j sinks to repose in the chamber of; ; oeath . t i !

Dloomington Indiana MONROE C0UNTV FEMALE SEMINARY. Mr. Perino, Principal.' In presenting the claims of this institution to the notice of the public, we would respectfully invite attention to a brief history of its origin and progress. A few individuals aware of the paramount importance of Female educ. tion, and of the comparative inutility of the establishment of Colleges and IligltSchools for youth, while Ihe female mind was neglected, petiutioed the State Legislature of 1833 4 to grant a charter for a Female Institu tion,-(not one at the time extstinginthe State) with an appropiihtion of the Monroe County Seminary fund for the erection of a suitable building for this purpose. This bping grunted, Ihe services of a gentleman, then just from Engi.jtd, were secured, tvhuec character and attainment?, as well as high recommendation? from most respectable individuals in his own country, warranted the faithful discharge of the duty devolving on him in so ressponsible i situation. A part of the buil ding ha been occupied two j ears ; but, owing to the want of si.(iicicnt luml, it has never been completed. Since the orgnniz ttion of tl3 Sem inary, neatly 1QQ ) oung ladies, from Vaiious parte ol this, and other states, havetreceived instruction, in Ihe difIrrcnt brandies ofaue"ij and orna, mental education.
