TRICK OF A FRENCH QUACK.


A gentleman, after having ruined his fortune by
Iextrayagance, belhought himself of turning quack.
He attempted 1t at Paris without success. and then
directed his views to the provinces He arrived at
Lyons and announced hl,nself " the celebrated
DIR. Mantaccinl, who can restote the dead ife,'
and he declared that in fifteen days he would go
TO the church yard, and excite general resuIrec-
Ion.
This declaration excited violent murmurs against
the Doctor VINO, not the least dsconc ered, applied
10 the magistrates, and requested he might be put
under guard TO prevent his escape, until he should
perform his undertaking. The proposition inspired
the greatest confidence, and the whole city came 10
lconsut DR.. Mantaccini, and purchase his Beanie
de Vie
AS the period for the performance OF this miracle
approached the anxiety oil the Inhabitants OF Lyons
Increased. At length he received the following let
ter from a rich citzen :" The great operation,
Doctor, which you are going to perform, has bsoke
my rest have wife buried for some time, who
was fury: and | am unhappy enough already
without her resurrection. In the name OF Heaven
do not make the experiment; will give you fifty
louis to keep your secret to yourself"
In instant after two dashing beaux arrived
who. with the most earnest applications, entreated
the doctor not 10 revive ther old father, formerly
the greatest miser in the city, in such an event
they would be reduced TO The most deplorsbe in
dsence. They offered him a fee OF GO louis, but
the Doctor shook his head in doubtful compli-
ance.
Scarcely had they retired, when young widow
on the OF matrimony, threw herself at the feet
of the Doctor and with sobs and signs implored
his mercy in short, from morn till night, the Doc
tor received letters, visits, presents fees, to ex
that absolutely overwhelmed him. The minds
of the people differently and violently agi-
lated, some by fear, and others by curiosity that the
chief magistrate OF the city waited upon the Doc
tor, and said, Sir, have not the least doubt, from
my experience Of your rare talents, that you will
be able to accomplish the resurrection in church
yard the day after Tomorrow. according TO your
promise; but pray you to observe, that our city
is in the greatest uProar and confusion, and 10 con-
slder the dreadful revolution the success Of your
experiment must produce in every family. | en-.
treat you therefore not TO attempt it, but 10 go away,
and thus restore the tranquility OF the city. In JUS
lice, however, TO your divine talents shall give you
an attestalion in due form, under seal, that you
can revive the dead, and that II was own fault
we were not eye witnesses Of your power"
The certificate duly sigued and delivered,
and DIR. Mantacclni went to work new miracles in
some other city.

Singular legal qaestion.-An Interesting law
suit is at this moment carrying on at Paris. The
city had sold house condition ofits being pulled
down within certain time, retaining the property
of the ground. The workmen employed in pulling
it down louud a treasure, concealed in one OF the
walls. The city now claims this treasure, because
it has never ceased to be the proprietor of the
ground; while the purchaser asserts his right, as
the not found below the surface, but IN
the wall bought by him. The brickayer, too, pre-
tends that It is his, because he found 1t and, as it
this vas not enough the admin, raors of the do
mains come forward and affirm that hone OF these
parties have any title whatever. AS the coins dis
covered arc ancient, and the building before the
Revolution belonged TO a Convent, it is very likely
tina, the whole will be declared the property The
State. The Judges will fud it difficult to make
peace between these four conlending parties.
