“ With regard to |kk try in g( nenil, I am

one as much as a’lother; that we are uimii

have not yet seen statements of the number
of deaths in tiie cities of New>Yurk and
Philadelpliia, but the Ia»t annual Report of
the nealtii Oflicer of Baltimore states, that
“ the mortality in Baltimore in the year
1830, has been less in proportion to popul«>
tiou, than cither at 1‘hiladelphia or New.
York.” If this be correct, Charleston ig
the second healthiest among the great cit-'
ies of tlie rnion, being next to Boston,
and mure healthy than either Baltimore,
I’hiladelphia, orNew-York. It ia believed
that Boston, the last year, was much more
healthy than during any of the preceding
five or six years, whereas Charleston, du
ring the last summer, suffered by an epi
demic know n among us as the Stranger’s
Fever. In addition to this it is a well known
fact, that many (lersons of the North, la
bouring under pulmonary or otlier disorders,
seek our city during the winter, with a hope
of benefit from our milder climate, and that
many of them are included in our bills of
mortality. It it! bolievtHl that if a statement

//oir tof/nirken a dullapprihen,iion.—It
is said that in Ibrmer da_\ s, ;ui eminent coun
sellor wa.s called on b\ a countrvinan for
his professional advice, who entered on the
consultation thus;—“,Mr. A. my Father
died, and made his will’’—'I'he lawyer pro-
1'jssf‘d hiniself utterly unable to understand
him ; the iroiiiitrvman m vain endeavored
to make himself uiwlerstoKl, ancl took his
ile[Mirturc, Mirpris;d at the dulness of one
reputed to Ik; singularly acute.—.Meeting
w ith a friend, he expre.ssf;d to him liis dis-
ap|K.intment ; he, more knowing, at onci;
inquired whether he had given a retaining
lee to the lawyer; “No,” was the reply,
“ I left that for another opfwrtunify.”—
Ills friend advised him to return, ami by no
means to |)ost|)one that [treliininary step.
He did si; placed a shining guinea in the
learned gentleman’s hand, and l>egan otice
more, ‘ .Sly father died uiid made his will.’
—'I'he lawyer stop|»ed him saying, ‘ Oh ! I
understand you now, you iiieaii, your father
made his w ill and then died.’—From that
time forward, the client fiHind no cause to
complain that his counsel was either dull of
apprehension, or negligent of his interest?.
—Hmts should not Ik: thrown away.
