at Mount Vernon about noon on Satur-
day. Discovering the case to be highly
alarming, and foresecing-thc fatal tenden-
cy of the disease, two consulting physi-
cians were immediately sent for, who ar-
rived, one at half-past three and the oth-
er at foul-o’clock in the afternoon. In
the meantime were employed two pretty
amines Headings ; a blister was applied to
the part affected ; licomoderulc doses of
Cilloillt‘l Were given and an injection was
administered, which operated in the low-
cr intestines, but all without any percep-
trililc advantage ; lllc respiration beéom-
lug still more diflicult and distressing.
" Upon the arrival of the first of the
consulting physicians, it was agreed, as
there was no signs of any accumulation
in the bronchial vessels of the lungs, to
try the result of (mot/121' bltedi-ng, when
about thirty—two ounces (I!) of blood were
drawn without the smal/ept apps/rent alle-
viation of Me disease. Vapors of vinegar
and water were frequently inhaled ; ten-
grains of Cnlomcl were given, succeeded
by repeated doses of emetic tartar,nmoun-
ting in all tofirc or sir grains, with no
other effect than a copious discharge of
the bowels. The power of life seemed
now nmnifcstly yielding to the force of
the disorder ('?) ; blisters were applied
to the extremities, together with a cat-
aplnsnl of brain and vinegar, to the
throat. Speaking which 'ns painful
from the beginning, now become almost
impracticable; respiration" grew more
and more contracted and imperfect, tilt
at half-past eleven o’clock, on Saturday
night, retaining the till possession of his
ililellcct,wllen he expired without a strug:
glc.” '
We would not presume to say that
any course of' treatment. would have rc-
snlted differently : “death is our com-
mondestiny.”

:9. The editor of the N. Y. Express
having alluded to Henry ‘Vard Beecher
as a “sensation prenclxcr,”, Mr. B. says
in the Independent :—
“ Well, we confess the belief that
preaching was originally ordained to pro.
duce decided sensations, and that as long
as men are bad and need to be made bet.
tcr, no preaching will ever do any good
that produce: no sensation. * *
That. preachers sometimes employ poor
materials in prot‘aiieing sensations may
be true. But the fault is not in the aim-
ing at sensation, but ill the putting of
wrong shot, or no shot at all, in the gun.
Pulpits are sometimes built now-a-days,
like Chinese forts, with wooden guns.»~
These, we suppose, are non sensation pul-
pits lint a pulpit with wooden heads
in it will soon have pews with blackheads
or no heads at all.

ing account of an affair, however it may
move the laughter of our readers, we fan-

cerned, “laugh on the wrong side ofthcil'
mouths.”
“ Sometime ago there was a dancing
party given ‘ up north ;’ most of the la—
dics present had little babies with them»,
whoscnoisy perversity required too much
attention to permit the mothers to enjoy
the dance. A number of gallant young
men volunteered to watch the young ones
while the parents indulged in a break-
down. No sooner bad the women left
the voting ones in the charge of the mist
chicvous devils, than they stripped the in-
fants, giving to one the apparel ofanoth-
er. The mothers hurriedly took each ba-
by, in (/w (II-i-swyf/u'r 0201i, and started,
some to their-homes ten or fifteen miles
off”, and were far oinhcir way before day.-
light. But the day following, there was
a prodigious row in that settlement,

A SLY HIT AT FASHIONABLE Caucuses.
—The New York Evening Post has pub-
lished the alleged translation of ‘Mohnln-
med Pncltn’s Letters on, America. in
his last letter his Highness visits one of
the churches in New York :—
OII a sunny morning of the'first day of
the second week of my sojourn here, I re
quested my young fellow-ledger at the St.
Nicholas, to conduct me to one of the nu- -
morons sanctuaries. He proposed that
we should visit the church of the Shining
Kaleidoscope, and we wentlhither. On
our entering the sacredgdifice, the sex-
ton received us molly, as if ,to say " phat
business have you in this establishment?”
But when my companion cpencd his coat
and displayed a diamond breast pin of
inordinate size, the face of the ofiicinl
blossomed with smiles, and he conducted
as to an excellent pew in the central
aisle.
My attention was first attractedi by.
the unique decorations of' the Welland
ceiling. The principal colors used :in the
work of adornment were light blue,"hrigllt
yellow. and deep red,each endeavor-Eng to
display itself to the best advantago.'——
Their effect. when combined with all oth-
er tims of the Rainbow shed-through the
stained glass windows, was somewhat re-
workable and I- observed that a portly
lady just. behind me had, as the result of
the play of light, a green forehead, a blue
nose, yellow lips, pnl‘plezchin, orange hair
and a patch of deep violet over the Jeff:
eye. Indeed, I had'observed no~ such
sterling style of ornamentation anywhere
else, except in the brilliautrcstonront of
Mr. Taylor in Broadway. Wonderful,;Q'
my Lybiun lion, is the power of nssocta:
lion—for such was the influence offt'hil
paint upon my imagination, that I. come
near asking the usher, who was promena-
iling the aisle, to bring me a lamb stored
with pistachio nuts and a vase of iced
sllcrbcrt. ‘ '
The Services commenced presently, by
reading on the part of a person Who oc-
cupied a room in the rear part of the
building, and responses iron) a‘p’ortioh of
the congregation. The reader pitched his
voice so that it seemed to issue from his
toes, and you may judge, therefore. that
his intonations were hardly natural.(sinco
he did not stand on his head) but os-it
was his office to deal with the supernatu-
ral. it may be presumed that such sepal-
chral utterances were appropriate to the
occasion. - .
Next came a song of praise by four
persons in the organ loft. How beauti-
fully tney warblcd. I was carried sleight
back to the opera, with its pride and
pomp of scientific illusions, intoxicating
sounds, brilliant eyes, brillant jewels, daz-
zling toilettes and immaculate kids. The
soprano led off with a splendid staccato
passage, in which the high notes danced
and eupcrcd like lambs on a hill-side.—
Then she ceased, and the tenor took up
the strain, and prolonged it with cleor,
trumpet tones ; then he stopped and the
contrnlto sang a low street notes, and
lastly, the basso added his voice to the
others, and the whole party commenced
a terrifiic struggle for the supremacy in
the final fugue. The contest 'was' exci—
ting and the result doubtful for a few mo«
meals, but at last the soprano was victo-
rious, ending with a tremendous thrill,
which entirely silenced her antagonists.-—
I lifted my ha‘nds to applaud, but was
checked by my friend, who informed
his that however ~ delighted I might
be with the performance, I must
not express my gratification in the some
way that I would at the Academy of
Music. Though this distinction seemed
rather nicely drawn, I, of course yielded
to the suggestion of' his experience.

'The Stamford Advocate says that
there are now living in the town of Groom
wich, seven children of Edmund and
Theodosia Mead, whose aggregate use
exceeds five hundred years. The oldest
was born in 1780, and the youngest in
1 {97. There has not been adeoth in'tho
family for more than sixty years, and not
one of them has been confined by nick-
ness, a single day in that time. The
whole seven are now in vigorous health.
A rare instance of longevity and one
which must have been the result of a dif-
fercnt set of habits from those of the pres-
ent fast ago.

353., On Tuesday morning last a little
girl run into the breakfast room, where
her mother was sitting at the head of the
table, exclaiming : ‘
“ Mother did you ever see o'cow eat a
calf ?”
“ No, but why do you ask such a silly
question '3” said the mother.
“ Because it’s a fact,” said the dough-
tcr, “ I saw it just now.”
“ Where ?” asked the mother.
“ Why, out at the cow-pen,” said the
daughter.
“ What cow ?” asked the mother.
“ Why,” said the daughter, " you
know the big red cow, Rose, don’t you 2'
Wed, she came trotting up just now,
with a beautiful spotted calf following
her, and as this is Coweta county, ain't
the call a Cowetn calf ?"
“ Bc oil" to school,” said the mother,
“ or I’ll Coweta Calf you l”

back than any we have yet seen. We
'ree‘olfcct‘tlla‘t one of ‘ them was a copper
coin of Egypt,‘madc a hundred or two
years before Christ. On one side is a.
representation- of the head of Jupiter
Animon. and on the other side on inscrip-
tion, which fixes the period to which it»
belongs. There Is no doubt whotcvef of
its authenticity. There was also an En-
glish silver coin, without date, but tho in-

old. The other specimens, Donal Doro
