REMARKABLE LONGEVITY IN NEW JERSEY. -*lfjf?-2mviali Stewart, widow of David Steivrlof Kingwopd, Hunterdon cooniy, died on the 31si ult. at the advanced age of 103 yifcars, 7 months, and 19 days. By her first /husband, George Opdykc,she had 11 children —including ihem her descendants are as follows: 84 grand-children, 180 great-grand-children making aItogether 314.

We have remarked many similar cases of longevity within few years past,and incline to the opinion that a careful examination of the vital statistics would probably show that there has been a decided relative diminution of mortality within the last century. It is now, indeed, the received opinion among statints, we believe, that (he value of human life has gone on improving for ages, and that it hns not been diminished since the period of our first hia^ricai records. Concerning the causes of this improvement there isdoubtlens room for debate. It has been referred tojthe progress of the arts which minister to human comfort 10 the moreampla. supply of food, clothing, and fuel better habitations ameliorated habits of cleanliness, and ventilation, and improved medical practice.

Whatever may btf the cause, the bills of mortality sufficiently establish the fact. If we leaie out of the calculation the antedeluvinti periods, respecting the chronology of which historians differ, there is good evidence that the duration of life is now, to say the least, much the same as it has ever been. Of the ordinary longevity 4000 years ago, we have undisputed testimony in the earliest historian, who tells us that in his day— "The days of our years are three score arid ten and if by reason of strength they be four score years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow, for it is soon cut off and we flee away." ,v

Some 500 years later, Brazillal excused himself to I ho King from visiting the royal palnce at Jeru^leni in this most graphic representation of the feelings of an octogenarian: "i am this day four score years old, and can I discern between good and evil? Can thy servant taste what 1 eat or what I drink? Can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women Wherefore, then, should

-servant be yet a burden unto mv Lord the

reports that have come down to us of itreme longevity of tke sages of Greece me rest upon apocryphal authority.— reliance can bo placed on ancient chroand statistics, especially in regard to c* of individuals. According to the tformation we have, the mean duration of Roman life through ten centuries was not above 35 years whereas recent tables published in England show that the expectation of life among the easy classes there is about 50 years, and the mean term of life among the cnrres|nnding classes in Paris is given at 45. The fow well authenticated cases of extreme longevity among the ancients may bo fully met with more extraordinary instances a* mongst the moderns.

The subject is invi

ibject is inviting, and it is remarka

ble that it has attracted so little general attenOur tables are extremely mengre, and ,tion. some one having 4he leisure and the data, might ronder a public service by pursuing it with a view to an intelligible exposition of the facts in the ease. We notice, in turning to the'statistics of our last census, that there wore in the United States, when it was taken, 52,172 white persons over tho age of 80, ef whom 701 were above 100. Of blacks there were 1,080 more thtm a century old.—Netoark Adv.

A GOOD ONE.

Quito ft ludicrous sceno (says the Albany Atlas,) occurrcd the other evening at the residence of the District Att'y, who had gone to New York, leaving his family in a state of alarm from the fear of robbers. About six o'clock Messrs. Howe and Freomon, who had been making a coat for Mr. V\\, sent the boy with it to his house. On arriving, the boy rang tho bell, but was not answered. Again he pulled the bell violently. This brought tho femalo servant to the door, who, without opening, exclaimed in rather a high key, *You rascal if you don't clear out I'll shoot you*" The youngster explained his business, but it was no go. The woman a real heroine, we suppose, again made her threat. Expostula lion was useless, and the boy tired of wait ing, was going to leavo the coat on~the stoop, when the door suddenly opened. Here was a sight calculaftol to try the metal of the most courageous^!) tbe servants of the house had been mustered, armed anJ equipped, though not as the law directs. An old man stood foremost with a rusty old musket to his shoulder, then women filling up the rear, with tongs, broomsticks, &c.» thus presenting an impenetrable phalanx, ready and willing to do kattlo with the enemy. It is needless to say, that when they discovered their absurd mistake, their heroism fell considerable below par. The poor boy in his fright threw the coat into the hall,apd vanished in double quick time.

^NATURAL ATTRACTION. «»t don't like to bo alone with a pit, it's plaguy apt to set me a soft sawderin' and a oourtin*. There's a sort of natural attraction like in this world. Two ships in a calm, are sure to get up along side of each other, if there is no wind, and they have nothin' to do but look at each other natur* does it. Well, •ven the tongs and shovel won't stand a'one lone they're sure to get on the same side of the tire, and be sociable, one of 'em has loadstone and draws t'other, that's sartain. If that's the ca«o with hard hearted thing*, like oak and iron, what is it with tender heaited things like humans! Shut me up in a *sarvatory with a handsome gal of a rainy day, and see if I don't think she is the sweetest flower in it. Yes, I am glad it is the dinner bell, for I ain't ready to marry yet, and when 1 am, I guess I must get a gal where I got my hoss, in old Connecticut, and that State takes the shine ofT all creation for g^ese, gals, and onions, that's fact."—Saw Slick in Eng* land.

"THE Stnwv Stoi."—How much more pleasant it is to tho pure Heart to do good, to kindle the more gentle and noble feeling of our nature, than by misrepresentations, hint* or dark imiendoe, to brenk in upon long established friendship, and disturb the feeling of years of intimacy. In all ocr associations, comtwmde us to him who ever presents the sunny aide of life's picture to the ga»—he who hae always a "pleasant word to apeak," fc«nd is evor disposed to fling the mantle of oblivion over the foibles of erring man—such a man we could wear in our heart's cot* ay, in our heart of hearts. jfe

VAI.UK OP NEW8PAPKR8. it it said that ti» father of aa interesting family near Detroit, Mich., not long since stopped the only newspaper which he allowed himself or family, and solely oo the ground that be could not afford the expense. This man he 14,60 tforlh of tobacco a year.— Exchange paper.

No wonder, then, he is stupid enough to discontinue his newspaper. His torpid, tobaccoridden brain, must loathe intellectual aliment as much as a sea-sick man does-pork. Such man cannot understand that the real value of a newspaper is greater than the pitiful two or three dollars a year which may be its price. As a cotemporary remarks, a newspaper is a school in a family, .worth ten dollars a year. Even the most barren paper brings something new. Children read or hear the contents, gain intelligence of the affuirs of the world, and acquire useful knowledge, of more importance to them in life than a present of fifteen acres of land. Parents are not aware of the vast importance of a newspaper in a family of children. We have made the remark before, and we repeat it, that take two families of children equally smart, and both going to the same school—let one of them have the free use of a newspaper, and it would excite astonishment to mark the difference between them. Full one half, and an important half, as it respects the business of the word, and an ability to rise and make one's self respectable in it, is derived from newspapers. What parent would not wish his children respectable? Who would be filling to have his neighbor's children more intelligent than his own? Yet how trifling is the sum a paper costs I It is even in these hard times absolutely contemptible in amount, and no man ever felt it, except in its beneficial consequences, who paid his subscription regularly.—Harrisburg Tel.

DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF MARRIAGE PROMISE.—At the term of the court of common pleas held in Ottawa county last week, there was a trial had in the case of a suit brought by Sacah Hineline against Isaac Mizener for breach of marriage promise. The jury brought in a verdict against the defendant of 8500 The case was an aggravated one Miss Hineline being an idiot girl who had been seduced by Mizener under promise of marriage, and as we learn the jury wero only prevented from assessing still heavier damages by the supposed inability of the defendant to pay. Such baseness richly merits some punishment more severe than that of compelling the guily one to pay damages.—Sandusky City Mirror.

AN ODD CASE.—The Pittsburg Sun relates a story of a German who stole pitchfork from his neighbor, Mr, W. The owner of the fork at last found it, and threatened Hans with the law. Hans was frightened. Mr. W. gave him his choice, to go with his blessing to the chain gang, or take fifty lashes. He chose the latter, and Mr. W. administered them. Hans goes straightway to a magistrate, and presecutes W. for assault with intent to Jkill, nod W. in his turn presecutes Hans for theft! Both were required to give security, and bouhd to appear-as witnesses against each other.

The Knickerbocker relates the following on the authority of Mr. Robert Tyler.

ROPED IN.

"Captain," ssid an up river raHer as he stuped aboard of a boat at the landing yesterday, "what tinie'll you be off!" "In a few minutes now the second bell's rung," replied ibe captain. "Jist in time," said the rafter, 'well, I want to know whether you would'nt take a few lines to Whee1 "Well," said the captain, "I don't know—the laws of the post office deportment are very strict, and Mr. Wickliflu has already prosecuted several boats." "No fear o* that," said the rafter '*1 know Wickliffo like a book —his aunt's niece is a cousin to a friend of my wife and ke don't care ad -n." "Well, well," replied the contain, "fetch the lines aboard but can you keep dark V' "O, yes," said the rafter, with a wink, "loaderstand. Thonkee."

In a few minutes the rafter was seen rolling a huge store box up the gangway plank and on to tbe forecas* lie. "Hallo, there! what the deuce is thatt" cries the captain. "Them lines," snid the rafter. "Them la!" exclaimcd thecaptain-"I thought that it was a letter you wanted me to take." "No, no, a box o' clothe* line» Tor my grocery in Whoeling but for the matter of a letter, if you've

a clark that could write me one afore you start,

"Go ashore—go ashore!" said the captain, as he rang the "last bell," laughing in spile of himself "I'll take your bloody line—Bock her! Roped in, by ."

Ahd away pufied the "Express Mail" one way and the rafter another.

MISSISSIPPI RLKCTION.—tn the Vicksburg Whig, of the 18th inst., we find pretty full returns from Mississippi. In forty-four of tbe fifty-seven counties, the vote for Governor stands for Brown, Locofoco repudiator. 10,904 Clayton, Whig bond payer, 15,036 Williams, Locofoco bond payer,804. Brown's majority, in the whole State, is no doubt between 3,000 and 8000. hi forty-eight couutics the repudiators have elected forty-eight members, and the bondpayers thirty-five to the Legislature to the Senate eight repudiators, three Whigs.—Louisville Journal.

MMAI MOTION.—Light air, as the atmosphere in motion is termed, travels at different rates, in proportion to its pressure, which is very variable and hence propels it at degrees of velocity from one to three miles per hour a breeze is wafted at a rate of from four to six miles per hour a gale from nine to fifteen a fresh gale, from twenty to twent-five a strong gale, from thirty to thirty-five a hard galo from thirty to fifty a storm from fifty to sixty a hurricane, from eighty to one hundred and four mites per hour.

NEW Ktsroor WBEAT.—We hare at our office, for the inspection of the curious, a specimen of grain, called **3outh American Wheat," raised in this county, and which is said to yield from 80 to 100 bushels to tbe acre. The head resembles very much in sise and appearance, the fruit of Hie Shu mac, and the berry seems to be almost entire farina, with very little hull or bran. It may be planted in drills, or sowed bmndcaste, (the former method bosmver, is thought to be preferable.) and His said to require far lees labor, if drilled, than common emu, yielding double the quantity per acre, and are should judge it to be as nutritious food for man or beast as any grain we ratee.

We have a few bends of the grain, which we are autborisod to dispose of.—.Vwli Esrperimtmi,

expense is actually incurred by

the sufferer for prescribing, or ordering from the apothecary, this wonderful mineral, in all its diversified

look at the result. In New York, with popation of 300.000. we have upwnrds of 7000 deaths per annum. In this intelligent city, then, where most people are ao careful of their healths ns to confine themselves during the slightest nttnek, and call in medical advice, we have about 25 deaths among every 1000 inhabitants. Mark the contrast! I can point out a single town in New England, within24 hours ride of New York, containing 4000 inhabitants, where there does not occur ten deaths within the year—and many of these are persons from 70 to 90 years of age!

The principal physician in this place is Dr. with whom I am well acquainted. He uses principally vegetable medicines prepared by his own hand.- it is only ift feme desperate cases that he employs mercury, or Cklomet. in any shape. The conseqaence is he is successful in the highest degree in his practice—and is frequently called 20 miles distant.

GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK

It is unnecessary for us to go intodeisil touching the merits of this gentleman. There has perhaps no w(Afc ever been published in this country, from which extracts have been so frequently made, as the far-famed Charcoal Sketches.

The Proprietor of the Lady's Book was the original publisher of these Sketches, and can vouch for their popularity. Besides Mr. Neal, arrangements have beea made with all the contributors of any repute in this country, whose contributions will the Book.

The embellishments of the number will be nuutsrous, at Ipnst asra&AvsBsra* of different kinds.* One particularly—

•JP3ES WSn&MX (DI? Anticipates all others, as we hare receired from Paris and London the plates containing tbe la teat fashions for winter cloaks, beautifully coloured This alone for the ladies makes the number inraluable-

Are the public aware that we nerer omit our fashion plate This should be looked to when subscribing for a fashionable magazine. They are tn eetry number, and coloured at a great expente.

It is pleasant to look back upon our long career, and reflect upon the millions that hare received instruction and amusement from our work—it is alsogratifying to know that we have in no instance ever published a line that would give offence, and have never excited the ire of our brethren of the press. This shall be pur future course.

THE EMBELLISHMENTS of Oodey'a Lsdyls Book are ol the first class, both for selection of subject and skill in engraving. They consist of Mezzotint, Line and Stipple, snd alwsys engrared by tbe first artists. We continue to have the largett circulation of sny magazine ever published, and we presume tini eourse we hare al wars followed is the reason.
