Florida Land Sates.—Xn extensive sale
of lands belonging to the State of Florida,
is to take place in April and May next. Of
these lands, the Tallahasse Sentinel says:
elor of 24 married a woman of 42, another
bachelor of 35 married a widow over 60
and still another bachelor under -40 marri
ed a Widow W 75 ! Instance like these
are called “marriages” by courtesy, we
suppose. Among other odd cases,:: a female
of 18 married a second time, another fe
male of 59 the fifth time, and a male of 39
tiie third time. But the hardest fact of all
ifo that there was not gallantry enough a-
inong the bachelors of Berkshire for one of
them to marry a widow. It .may iulerest
our^fair readers to learn that, by an analy
sis of 24,000 marriages, it is found that
when a ,:females arrives at the age of 20
years, andds unmarried, one quarter ofthe
probabilities of her ever getting married are
gone; if she passes 25 years nearly thne
quarters of the probabilities are gone,-and
l 8 ie passes unmarried at . the age of 30
nearly nine tenths of her chasnees of becom
ing such a blessed thing as a wife, are for
ever gone.—Springfield Republican.
