clap of thunder, the horse ran away, and the boy, com-
pletely stunned, fell to the ground. When he returned

leg was gone. His uncle, who had ridden by his side.
and his own horse, bad disappeared. The poor boy, at

horse, end on examining his nephew he observed that
the right leg was entirely wanting. The patient's shirt
and clothes were in shreds, and burned along the seams,
and on the body were many soars. The boy was con-

stump, and much alarm, at the hasmorthage, which

of a great discovery originating in England are emin•

As the pulaatioes of the heart seed the stream of life
through every fibre of the frame, so does each beneficial
development in science, emanating from British genial

receive due honour in its own country, fails in the ease
of Thomas Holloway. His now and simple, yet rapid
and effective remedies, were thoroughly appreciated at
the outlet by the people of England of every class, arid
foreign experience has merely confirmed the verdict of
the British public. The Canadea, the least remote of
our important transatlantic possessions were the first
to echo the laudations bestowed upon the preparations
hers- They appear to have displayed the ineffective
prescription of the _ provincial phannecoporia with
singular dispatch. The stereotzed preparations for
fever and ages, dyspeptia, argot , Ito., were at once
superseded by them, and the press announced their
cares as the eommenoement of a new era in the sanitary
history of British America. It was mainly, we have
understood, to meet the ever-growing demand of the
Canadas for his pills and ointment, that Professor
Holloway, • few years ago, established a depth 'taboret!.

colonial popularity of the preparations is the mere

value both the sagacity and the independence of our
brethren beyond the sea. They may receive our opinions
with respect, but they test them in the crucible of

amid when the excitement is at its height the house
resounds with pioua exclamations, after the manner of
camp meetings. Allen himself wanders about, in a
disconsolate manner, on the outskirts of the crowd,
with his hands in his pockets, and, according to the
testimony of all the new.paper reporters, constantly
fuddled. This charge of drunkenues, his religious
patrons do not deny; but they say this is the only one
of his numeroas vices which he has not abandoned, and
that it is Impossible to expect so hardened • sinner to
become °mph tely virtuous all of a sudden. What
Allen's real feelinp about the performance. are it is
difficult to mske out. When he is drunk, he angrily
denowiees the religious people for buying spoiled his
business; but in his sober ictervals he speaks of their
doings with respect, though finding some fault with
their management. Of coarse he is somewhat puffed
up by the notoriety he has attained, aud it occurred to
him, or some of his advisers, • week ago, that it would
be well for him to begin the instruction of others, and
he secordingly started out as a lecturer on moral and
religions subjectz. He made his first appearance at
Stamford, • town in Connecticut, thirty-flee miles from
the city, and demanded a small charge for admission ;
but the public was not prepared for the teaching of a
gentleman fresh from his own brothel, and, more-
over, be Was drunk, and there was consequently no
audience, and he has come back to town diagusted. The
contagion, as might have been expected, is spreading
amongst the other rough, of the same neighbourhood ;
other "dance-house" keepers are urging the missiona-
ries to bold meetings in the dens on the same temp.
Other competitors, too, are springing up for the title of
" the wickedest man in New York," and two of them
are very formidable. One of them is "Kit Bums,"
who keeps • bar-room, with • rat pit attached, in whittle
he haa rat-killing and dog-fights resent times a week,
and the room in which theta exhibitions take place be
offers for an hoar every day for • prayer meeting. The
other is "Tommy Haddon," the keeper of • sailers'

for the chips in the harbour, and drug and rob them
when they come home from voyages. He, tea, is
ready to have religions exercises in his den, but neither
he nor Burns makes the slightest pretence of baring

speak of the religious world, and of John Allen's •

gus.:e, and acknowledge that rat-killing, "Shang- !

unanimous in its expreedon• of disgust with the whole
affair, and my excuse for saying so much about it is
that it has for, • fortnight occupied • lerge amount ,L 4
mace in every newspaper in the city, that the doings at
John Allen's and Kit Barn's every day are now
chronicled as regularly as the sales on the Stock En-
change, and are telegraphed all over the country, and
that they are the oouintOo topic of conversation amongst
the public. Most people I think, find the exhibition
revolting, but all those who believe in sudden conversion
(and they are a very powerful body in the United States)
approve of it, and think it • desirable thing to have
prayer and exhortation going on in any haunt of vice in
which permission for them C•l2 be obtained and anybody
can be got to listen to them, on the ground that,
