Murtiuitij. Mr. C.ispar, Professor at Berlin, lias pub- 

 lished a series of observations, tending to show the com- 

 parati"e longevity of persons employed in ditForent oc- 

 cupations. Tiie result of the whole is that of one hun- 

 dred clergymen, forty two reached the age of seventy; 

 of im tarniers, 40; of 100 military men, 32; of lOU 

 lawyers, 21); and of 100 physicians only 25. In order 

 to arrive more accurately at tlie result, he confined liis 

 ohservations to physicians in practice, excluding such as 

 were in a consideiable degree occupied by the sciences, 

 connected with that of medicine, such as naturalists, sur- 

 geons, itc. 



Mammoth Cabbage.— X Cabbage was raised on the 

 farm of Mr. Anthony Halse, of Bushwick, weighing
