ASTONISHING pREsERvATIoN.

A paper printed in the west of North
Carolina, says, an esteemed friend, in
whose relation we can place the utmost
confidence, communicated the substance
OF the following which we think we are
juslifiable In terDing remarkable
phenomenon
Mr. James league, of Davidson coun
ty, residing on the waters of Abbot's
creek, was struck by lightning while
walking IN his corn field, on Wednesday
the 9th inst. He was bnt few hundred
yards from his house; his sons, saw him
iails ran TO him. found him apparently
dead, and brought him TO the house,
They sent immediately for their next
neighbor, capt. Oral, gentleman of im.
proved mind and much medical reading,
though pota physician. The most con-
venient and ordinary resuscitating reme-
dies were applied, particularly the warm
bath and friction. In perhaps forty mi.
nutess he Showed symptoms of returning
life, and gradually mended, so that when
DIR. Shunan arrived there from Salem,
there was nothing to be done but give
general directions.
Now TO The phenomenon the electric
fluid struck him near the top of the head,
on the left side; and took range down
behind his ear, singeing all the hair and
burning the skin in its passage, about the
breadth of half an inch when it came
in contact with the shoulders il inclined
to the front taking course down the cen.
tire Of his Bosom, taking all the hair off
and scorchlng the skin; in coming to the
abdomen; it inclined to the left, and made
the deepest burn on the left of the navel !;
il then took course dowDwards and
separated into Two columns, the largest
one continued down his LETT thigh, and
leg, and the lesser took down his rights
burning Oft all the hair in its passage -
and where the skin was not actually eau
terized, it was changed to livid color -
The fluids Id passing from him; offered
the ground, making hole OF about IL
inch in diameter; after it penetrated the
| earth 6 or 8 inches, it was opposed by a
small stone, which divided it, whence IL
descended by two apertures and so far
as they have been examined, the passa
ges widen as they descend!
Mr.. leagues hat was torn to frag.
| ments, and some of them propelled on
every side to the distance Of thirty feet.
T@ehty. five Of the fragments have beeu
collected his left shoe torn into three
pieces, one of which was found 40 feet
from where he lay. l saw him on
Thursday-he was then able TO walk a.
bout his house, and said he felt pretty
we'll, excepting the pain arising from the
burns his shirt was on FIRE at the point
of the deepest burn, when his soDs got to
him. The apert1res smeIt like the
washing Of gun barrel, and so did Mr..
league until he was washed. 1t was
supposed by Mr.. Us neighbors, tina, iis
intellects we're not perfectly restoaed
when saw him.

Patent Elastic Saddles.

"A word TO those fond of easy Riding.
The complaint against hard and uneasy sad
dies, which is for the most part just and gene
raj one, and is really great grievance to those
who have much riding to do, has caused him TO
turn his mind particularly TO that subject, with
view, If possible, to remedy the evil. RE can
with confidence assure the public that he has
accomplished it. The plan projected is by means
of strong and we'll tempered steel springs, so
constructed as to support the saddle seat and
give much greater ease TO both rider and horse
than saddles made in the common way or any
other that he has ever seen can possibly do
The plan is entirely different from the English
elastic saddles with spring bars Of steel, whale
bone &c. and also from those with wire springs,
aud he conceives much superior to either, as the
elasticity is greater, and the tree not being put
out OF its original form, will not be subject 10
hurting horses on journeys,which is complained
Of 10 the saddles with spring bars number of
gentlemen have those saddles now in use, and
ont one sentiment exists among then in favor
OF their superiority. The invention is equally
asspplieabIe ladies saddles as to gentIemens'
