Errgeru or Feta. The Nord vouches for the
authenticity of the subjoined narrative, showing, in •
remarkable manner, the effect of fear on the hoegina-
tion —A gentleman of great energy of character, while
staying at an hotel at Turooing, was seised with 'tenni-
sting toothache, acompanied with great swelling of the
gums. He was recommended to apply • leech, and the
keeper of the hotel undertook the denote operation,
using for the purpose a piece of paper screwed up so as
to form a kind of case. At the end of • few minutes,
as the sufferer did not feel the leech, ILO examination
took place, but the leech was not in the paper, and it
had disappeared. It was immediately concluded, to the
great horror of the sufferer, that be had swallowed the
mordant worm. No sooner vestige dreadful coneluden
arrived at than the affrighted man felt terrible bites in
his stomach, and, although he swallowed a glare of
sweet oil of almonds, renewed bites showed that the
leech was still alive. A doctor wee called in, and an
ounce of castor-oil was administered immediately, but
repeated agonizing pains proved time the leech was in
another part of the stomach. A dreadfil fear now
took possession of the unfortunate man, who anticipated
that his intestines would be soon perforitted, and that
death was certain. A second doctor was oalled
In, pee-
scribed two more ounces of castor oil, which the psitent
swallowed moat stoically, but the bites and pains were
renewed. The hotel-keeper happened then to
his *oat, and in the sleeve he found the leseli,e=
had mule its escape at the end of the paper bold to the
gum of the sufferer. The unfortunade wan was lbws
unwed that his life was no loftm• in danger, but he was
a prey to the most anoomfortaMe sensations, consequent
on the effects of the three ounces of caster-oil which be
swallowed.

terfield, indifferent as be was to the shuck in February,
vu startled from sleep by the one which shoolt
London in March. Then • tnad trooper in Delawares
regiment prophesied a third, and final ruin, for the 2nd

sixpenny pamphlets recorded their names, and ladies

in the Park or fields beyond; and Archbishop Seeker
preached against earthquakes all night at St. Jaiins
and ladies and gentlemen rode to country inns,

Turner, the chinaman, who, having awaked s tantalum
pair of vases, declared they bad been arseked by ea
earthquake, and doubled th6r pries became of that
distinction.
