After some further routine business, the House adjourned. F THE REMOTE CAUSE OF EPIDEMIC DISEASE. (From the London Spectator.)

Tins is the title ofa work by Dr. Parkin. Its object is to endeavor to prove “ that epidemic diseases are not only produced by volcanic action, but also that the immediate cause of their production is the genera— tion of a poisonous substance in subterranean reservoirs, and its extraction on the surface, by means of those channels which exist to a greater or less extent in all situations.” Examining the various \alleged causes of wide-spreading pestilence, Dr. Parkin endeavors to prove theirlinsufficiency: and referring to the fact of admitted volcanic actions in earthquakes and eruptions, he shows that they travel ,in right and curvilinear lines,—a line of volcanoes from Chili to Mexico, for instance, “ existing so uninterruptedly, that is‘is rare to find a degree oflatitude in which there is not an active vent.’ An earthquake in 1827 was felt at Santa Fe da Bagota, and on the same day, in a town in Siberia, pro- pagating itself, says Humboldt, in a linear direction. Touching upon the theories of Col. Reid and others, on the law ofstorms, Dr. Parkin asserts that the course of tornadoes is limited to the line of volcanic formations ‘ and that the whirlwind, or rotary motion, in 'Whlcl; Colonel Reid’s discovery consists, is the precise action gaseous emission would take. Coming down to some ofthe most extensive and fatal ' Parkin shows that they have travelled in certain defined and to a mere superficial observer, arbitrary lines, being: preceded and accompanied in their more violent stage:

' derangement cf Lt’he seasonsf—great droughts, great floods, and preternatu- ral heat, cold-and moisture, alternating with each other -—took. place during the cominuance of the black deatli and cholera, the ravages of the disease bearing rather a close proportion to the volcanic action and atmospheric

Ara F)an on Wcs'rMORLAND.—-A . curious that stance of WeStmorland’s presence of mind is onlrecord; His lordship was twice married, and his first union was a runaway match. He had paid his ’addresses to the only daughter of the rich banker of I‘ernple-bnr, Mg; ClIlltl. fl . . l ilie suitor, posscsslng the la y’s affections, determiner to run away with his bride. In consequence, a post-I chaise and four, un beau iriutin, carried away the, confi- ding pair; but, the affair having reached the papa 5 cars, another pair of postillions and two pair of fleet horses were soon in request. Stimulated by the lavish pro- mises ofthe rich banker, lost time was compensated for by the postillions, and the gay Lollizrrio soon had the (Iéscspoir of belioldlng Mr. Child’s eqiiipage neck and neck Willi his own. In this crisis of" fate, however, his presence of mind did not forsake him, and, drawmg a pistol, he shot dead one of the leaders ofthe pursuing post—chaise. Before the horse could be detached from . the harness, and a substitute procured, it was too late to pursue the fugitives, who were quickly manned by the grimy high priest ofGrcina.—-1lIorning Post.

TEACHING CHILDREN T0 VVALK T00 YOUNG.--Some fond parents, disregarding the fact that the bones are comparatively soft and pliable in infancy, in their hurry to see the little objects walk without support, are confi- nually soliciting attempts at standing or walking long before the bones have acquired sufficient power of resis- tance, and the muscles sufficient power of contraction, to cope with the laws of'gruvitation. The natural con- sequence is a curvature ofthe bone, which yields just like an elastic stick bending under a weight. The ends approach nearer to each other than they ought to do; and, to accommodate themselves to the change, the mus- cles become shorter on one'side, and perhaps longer on the other, each losing part of its efficiency in the unna- tural change‘it undergoes. From this view, it will be seen how hurtful leading-strings must be. In the first place, by the mechanical force, they compress/the chest, and impede respiration; and in the second, prevent the body from falling to the ground, or rather by preserving tin-upright position, they cause more of the weight to fall on the bones ofthe spine and lower extremities than these parts are fitted to carry. From this obnoxious practice, flatness of chest, confined lungs, distorted Spine, and deformed leo‘s, often originate.—Dr. Andrew

THE HOWARD House, PlilLADELPHlA.—An Institu- tion was some time since established, with the object of rescuing drunkarrls from their degraded condition, and affording them the means of'liveliliood, until they could review and amend their habits, and obtain the means of honest support. A house was rented in German street, Which for many years had been known as a low tavern. A worthy man was appointed to reside there, and to take chargeof'such miserable inebriates as might be picked up in the streets, to keep them until fully res- tored to reason, togive them their board for a few days or weeks, as the case might be, to induce them by all proper means to reform, and on securing their signa- tures to the Pledgeflo secure for them honest employ- ment. This movement was commenced in December last, under the auspices oftlie Howard Benevolent Tem-

liave been ofthe most satisfactory character. A num- ber of poor drunkards have been rescued from degra- dation, and restored to comparative respectability. Al the present moment there are three persons in the House, who presented a most melancholy aspect when first taken I charge of, and who now, redeemed from the embraces oftlie tempter, are industrious, sober, and able to pay their board. Some touching incidents of the depths to which this vice of intemperance has led individuals of respectable connexioris, and who formerly occupied re- putable positions in society, have been related to us, in connexion with the Howard House. Some of those, who iii their moments of delirium presented the most repulsrve spectacles, exhibited, on restoration to a terti- perate condition, the utmost horror at the portraits of themselves, as described by those who had assisted in their recovery. v

How much more sad are the crumbled embers ofa home, the casting down ofthat urre‘nt altar where the worst among us sometimes perforr; the wor— shipofthe heart; and where the‘ best have offered such sacrifices and-done such deeds of heroism as, chroni- cled, would put the proudest temples of old time, with all
