A few weeks since, we announced the serious and dangerous illness of this widely known and eminently devoted missionary, who had just embarked on the French barque Aristide Marie, bound to the Isle of Bourbon, for the benefit of his health. There was then scarcely a chance for bis life; and late accounts inform us that he did not survive many days after the vessel sailed. Rev. Adoniram Judson, D.

Scarce ly has tbe sound died away till the, whirring of its wingi? indicates ifs re turn ; for breakfast is on the table, and “ blacky” does not wish to be behind. On such occasions the bird enters the window or door with .the most perfect assurance, just as if the house was its own and everything in it, settles upon the table, hops from dish to dish, and helps itself according to fancy. After satisfying its appetite, it generally re mains awhile gamboling with the chil dren; and if it flies off' again before dinner, il is sure to be back ere the se cond meal is despatched, in order to get its share; and what is very remark able, it has a penchant for raw meat; in the matter ot bread and butter, also, it is quite at home and thinks nothing at all of running off* with a slice of the latter commodity, if fresh, for Mr. Blackbird's palate is still so unsophisti cated as not to covet salt. Its nocturn al roost is on the kitchen chimney-piece, and we understand, by the regular hours it keeps, it is quite a pattern to young lodgers. The bird is on all these accounts a great favorite with the fami ly, and is certainly a pretty creature as well as a curious one. We saw it one night last week on its accustomed perch, and next morning again half a mile off, on the boundary wall of Cally estate; we had no difficulty in recognizing the leathered favorite by its shape, familiar ity and intellectual air. It had, we dare say, discernment enough to see that we were eyeing it intently, and, as if aware of our design, waited long copugh lor us to •• talcs holes" regard ing its demeanor, so as to be able to identify it. It then flew over the wall and handsomely repaid us with “notes” of its own. Of late ij has been seen in the company of another blackbird, and we hope to hear of them both popping in some fine morning lo breakfast— Blacky having first begged leave to in troduce his mate as “ one of the fami ly”—a permission which we are sure would be willingly acceded to.—Dum fries Journal. 2d.

Vir ginia ; 5th. Tennesse. The increase in the whole popula- in of the States has varied very little from 33^ P er cent, in each period of 10 years—but taken separately,. the States vary from this greatly. Ohio in her first period of Statehood, gained 10S per cent. Virginia, in the same period, 13 per cent.; North Carolina, 15 per cent.; Maryland 11 per cent.; Con necticut only 4 per cent. What on earth could have ailed Connecticut in these 10 years? Pennsylvania rose from 602,305 to 810,091 or over her full proportion of the entire increase. In 1820 ihe first three Slates have over a million; Ohio gets up 140 per cent., taking rank as the 5th State; North Carolina, in the same period, gained in white population 11 per cent., in slave population, 75 per cent, and had to give up her political caste, of which she was ousted by Ohio. But looking again at Connecticut we find her all the time a doing; nothing this way, very fast. In 1S20 she gained but half oi one per cent; not even that in 1830!

So great were the difficulties caused by the rapids that in two days not more than twelve miles were accomplished; and on the third day, the wooden boat brought down from the Sea of Galilee was aban doned, on account of her shattered con dition. None bur 'tnelal boats could have stood the severe work of bis pas sage. It was, nevertheless, made at the time of flood—at the season that the Israelites passed the river—and which, although the most unfavorable without boats, should be the most favorable with them. In fact, it is stated that a few weeks earlier or later, the passage down the river in boats, would, as in the case of Lieut. Molyncux, have been imprac ticable, from the lack of sufficient wa ter to carry them over the rapids.

AN INTERESTING ASTRONOMICAL FACT. Two persons were born at the same place, at the same moment of time*— After an age of fifty years, they both “ How solemn these funeral obstacles ! a i so a t the same spot, and al the U ” —LI Mr* Pnrrinnrtnn. ns sh« looked ! same j n3lan , t yel onc |, a ,| lived OOP 'ays more than the other.— How was this possible? Not to keep friends in suspense, the solution said Mrs. Partington, as she looked . SU111C ,p 8 i a0 i, down from an upper chamber window i hundred days the day of the procession. She look off her specs to wipe the moisture from their dices, tapped her box mournfully to the measured time of the distant drum, and looked anxiously down the street to catch the first glimpse of the funeral train. “ Here it comes at last,” quoth she, •* with the soldiers all play ing with muzzled drums and their flags, flying at half mast. Is that the catas trophe?” whispered she of a gentleman near her. “ That is the catafalque, madam,” replied he. “Well, well,” said she, “ no matter; I kuowed there cat about it* and I didn’t know but it might be cataplasm, it will be a catastrophe, I guess, artcrall. Cata falque ! some furren name, l guess.— Will you tell me sir, when the artillery flies over,” continued she; “ 1 mean the flying artillery, that came away from turns on a curious, but, with a little re flection, a very obvious point in circum navigation. A person going round the world towards the west, loses a day, and towards the cast, he gains one.

One, therefore, will have lived one hundred days more than the other, though they were born and died iu the same place, at the same moment, and even lived continually iu the same latitudes, and tinct ling in the air, probably to serve as a warning to others. We are credibly informed that this summary mode of ju dicial administration is by no meaus an unusual proceeding amongst- these sa gacious birds, several instances of the kind having been known_ to occur in this identical rookery.—*&cotch paper. Manners otYonnf Ladies. In endeavoring to avoid everything like display, young ladies especially should be careful not to fall nuo tbe opposite extreme-—that of prudery. There is more sincerity, if there be less nicety, in the conduct of a really virtu ous woman than there is in that of a prude; and some degree of freedom, so far (tom being incompatible with the strictest virtue, is one of its principal privileges. If a Igjjy is obliged lo receive company en dishobile, it is a sign*of her good breediog.if she appears per fectly al ease, and makes little or no apology for her appearance. A person who changes, hermanner with her garb, must be innately vulgar. The Rev. Henry Giles thus de signates the four great characteristics which have distinguised mankind: ^“The Hebrew was mighty by the power of Faith; ibeGreekby Knowledge and Art; the Roman by Art; but. the might of the modern man is placed^ in work. This is shown by tbe peculiar pride of each, The pride of the Hebrew was in Religion; tbe pride of the Greek as in wisdom ; tbe pride of the Roman were one of the wings of the army, and; whichh ; s fa|her Hired an< f dic< i al flew when they marched.

Orchards, to ensure continued fruitfulness and fair fruit should be pe riodically manured, in order that the lood annually carried off in the fruit, should be restored to the soil. Six parts peat and two of lime, or six parts marsh mud and two of marl, would form an excellent dressing, in propor tion of twenty loads to the acre ; the, cost of which might be covered, by growing a crop of corn, potatoes or oth- roots thereon, the year of any appli cation. 13.
