SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—An incident of an ex-
traordinary nature took place lately in the parish of
Gulspie. The wife of a shoemaker had been, for a con-
siderable time, lying ill of a fever, but was gradually
recovering. She, however, suddenly relapsed, and, as ,
her husband and friends. supposed, she died on tie,
second day after her relapse, about two o'clock
in the afternoon. The usual formalities of stretching
and laying out the body were adopted, and her husband
procured money from his employers, and ordered mourn-
inga for his family. Next day, about 12 o'clock, as the
joiner was taking measure for her coffin, she gave a sneeze,
and otherwise made a stir with her body. On taking 4,A1
the grave-clothes she looked up in a wild manner, and
made a motion with her hand as if she wanted something
to eat. A few cordials were administered to her. She
was then put to bed, and enjoyed a goodsound

WHALE-FISHING IN LOCHFINE.—For more than

five young lads belonging to the town, under the
are%qveueekntpeut

euidance of an old South-sea whale-fisher, set out, and

after a chase of nearly
enormous ormofouisns
fwhale,e about eighty feet long,
rary. A
ten miles, came up with the
monster, and succeeded in planting a harpoon firmly in
its side. It instantly set off at a fearful rate, and in
less than a minute above 100 fathoms of line were run
out, when they fixed it to one of the beams of the boat;-
and in this way were dragged above a mile in an in-
credibly short space of time. Unfortunately, however,
just as they had made sure of their prize, and while con-
gratulating each other on their good fortune, the line,
which was much too small, suddenly gave way, and
on' went the whale with about forty fathoms of it. It
was seen soon after, with the harpoon stuck in its side,
and evidently very uneasy, rising frequently to the sur-
face, and blowing tremendous clouds of spray high hi
the air. From the position of the harpoon, it is sup-
posed that- it will run on shore on some part of the
coast ; in which event it is likely to be claimed by the
crew of the boat.--Glasgow Herald.
The Phare of Cherbourg states that a dreadful ac-
cident took place at the fort of Ilooinaet on the 25th inst.,
when the cannons were fired ofr for the funeral service ,!!
the Duke- of Orleans. Two artillerymen of the 10th
company of veterans were loading a 36-pounder, when
the touch •hole having been badly stopped, and a piece of
wadding having remained unextingutshed in cleaning the
piece, the gun went off, and carried away the right baud
-of one of them, and the left of the other, who was, be-
s:des, seriously injured in the side and hip. The may
who lost his right hand has undergone amputation of the
arm,
