Cure BY THE Kick OF 4 HoRsE.-A
very extraordinary instance OF the sud-
den recovery Of speech occurred at
Forest-row, near Brighton, the other
day. A man named Newman, who is
horse keeper to Mr., Hoare, of Lewis,
had been dumb for twenty-seven years.
About three weeks ago he received a
kick from horse which he was comb
ing down, and was laid up in conse-
quence for week. Upon leaving his,
room he was seized with !, severe at.
tack ofthe nerves and became defirious.
He continued in that condition for some
days, and upon recovering his senses he
returned Immediately to his old occupa-
ton, but did not remain long at il when
he was again desperate y afflicted. The
third attack was, it seems, the charm.
He appeared in the yard where he had
been accustomed to answer all inquiries
as to his health with turn of the head,
and when his master said " Well Dick,
how are you to day GA great deal
better, thank you, MASTER" was the re-
ply, to the astonishment of Mr.. Hoare,
who actually staggered at the miracle.
The poor man, we understand, contin-
ues in good health
Instance Of generosity in CT .ayab.--
Traversing sandy desert, a wandering
Arab found a youth extended on the
burning soil, and ready to expire With
thirst The camel of the Arab had
vessel Of water swung over him, but
there was only sufficient to last for "a
hours. "To what tribe do you belong 2"
said he to the child-"To Velled-HiIli."
The name sounded dreadful in the
ears of the Arab, for it was that to which
his family bore the most inveterate en-
nifty, and no hatred is more cruel than
that of the Arabs. "Thou art fellow
creature" said the savage, and instantly
presented him with drink. They Jour-
neyed together, the vessel was emptied;
it was two days journey before they
could arrive at any spring, and the child
was again choking with thirst the Arab
drew knife from his side, opened a
vein in his own arm, and quenched the
thirst OF the son of his mortal enemvl
singular Chastisement.-A spruce lit
tie gentleman, who, during the summer
season, is employed as waiter of one of
the Inns in Harrowgate, called to regale
himself at the Elephant and Castle,
Knaresborough, on the evening of the
fair, and while in his cups, became ex-
ceedingly noisy and quarrelsome with
the rest of the company, drinking off
their glasses sans ceremonie, and, if re-
monstrance was made, challenge TO
light was the immediate consequence.
Al length an honest athletic farmer, to
whom he had "shown fight" whipped
the dapper hero under his arm, and
examining him into sack, tossed him
into his cart, which stood at the door,
and drove down the street to the dis
lance of mile from the town, where
ne was unbagged, to the great amuse-
ment of vast number Of spectators, and
to the evident Improvement of the man
