SEPULTURE. At Saulieu, Burgundy, a mild catarrhal fever was epidemic. A very corpulent body was buried in the Church of St. Saturnin. Twenty three days after, a pit was opened by the side of that in which was the empu lent body, to bury a woman, who died in childbed, under this fever. A most fetid odour immediately tilled the church and af fected all who entered. In putting the wo man’s coffin into the pit, some sanies issued —its odour strongly affected the assistants. Os one hundred and seventy people who en tered the church, from the opening of the pit till the burial, one hundred and forty nine were attacked with a putrid malignant fever, somewhat resembling the epidemic. Its na ture and intencity left no doubt it owed its malignity to the infection of the church— Mem. su Vusage d , enterrer dans les eglises etles villas: pur Marat, cclcbre med, Dijon 1773. *. A malignant epidemic fevor caused by re moval ot the earth ot the cemetery of St. Peters Church also shows the danger of buri als in churches and populous places. At Auvergne an old cemetery was dug over to embellish the town ; soon after, an epi demic appeared which carried oft' a great many people, particularly the poor, and in the neighborhood ol the cemetery. Six years before a like cause produced an epidemic in Ambert, in Auvergne.— Dissert, de. M. Huguenot, ProJ, cn Med, dunsl’ univers, de Mt'pcllier.

To place his coffin according to Ids friends’ wishes, it was necessary to remove several coffins among which was that of his relation. A most fetid odour spread itself in the church. Fifteen of the visitants died shortly after? the four per sons who removed the coffins died first: six curates, present at the ceremony, hardly escaped death— Gazette de Satne, February 1774.

Richard ML Johnson, Senator in Congress from Kentucky, who was one of a nu merous Class at Washington. SENATE CHAMBER, City of Washington, Feb. 26 ih, 1823. To all whom ii may concern, 1 have attended a course ol Lectures delivered by Mr. Ezra A. Stevens, on Astronomy—l consider Mr. Stevens a complete master of his subject, and his Lec tures are well calculated to atnuae and instruct 'he learned and the unlearned. This nianitel* is interesting, his language chaste and appropriate, lus Astronomical knowledge appears to be pro found, and bis illustrations are extremely happy, and calculated to give the most distinct idc&s and dear conceptions of the various laws and com plicated revolutions and motions of the whole heavenly bodies ; and 1 do recommend him in is 1 earnestly to all who are patrons of learning and science. RICHARD M. JOHNSON. From the Rev. Dr. Woods, professor of Theolo gy, at Andover. Theological Seminary, Andover, Nov. 22, 1823. ILvi' g attended the Astronomical Lectures which Mr. E. A. Stevens h;,s recently delivered before a majority ol the students of this seminary and many inhabitants of Andover, I take great pleasure in testifying the entire, and J believe uni versal satisfaction, which he has given. The hap py taViu winch he possesses of illustrating, by a simile apparatus the most important principles of astronomy, renders them invlligibJe, mid highly inlei eating 'o nil his hearers, whether more or less icqnuuited with the science ; and what adds much ' ° tlle of his iecures, he takes frequent oc casi'ins to show the tihserviency of this sconce to no priiicipi sos religion* Hy bis unassuming and unable manners and nis unexceptionable conduct, while resident h re, Mr. Stevens has endeared inui-elt to ail who have bad any intercourse wi.b m I joinl most cordially, with many others, ie i/e, m . .ending him to the .pail linage of the pub nek, wherever he may go.
