Instead of the conventional "pound of cold pudding"
for calming her lv, and whose lamp very nearly
went out, has brigh,vied up very much since she was
removed to the kindly care of Governor and Mrs.

bf we she rallied from the " comat,ae" state
which so touched the heart., of elpectators in the
Borough Court, and at present she shows not the
the lesst sign f being snuffed out. She Ia to be
brought bekre the magistrates at the Court on

object fas much interest as any Yankee speculat'w
who ham "suucic 1i.." Let us hope she willwot suffer
a relapse into that pitiable state
