PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 28. —Some months since
Dr. Coolidge, of Waterville, Maine, was condemned to
death for murder, and to avoid an ignominious death on
the scaffold he committed suicide in his cell. An inquest
was held and ho was buried. But, strange to tell, he
has come to life again, and is now (private letters say)
digging for gold in California ! It is supposed that
justice was sheeted by the substitution of a dead body
for the living Coolidge.

ground at Ballantrae. Some boa's procured twenty
hundred at a take. They pie making their appearance
south earlier this season than formerly. They, are
beautiful in appearance, but their contents clearly indi-

generally admitted.— Gleenock Advertiser.
