From the Little Falls Friend.
Ssigular Case.-A friend, who is well scquaint-
ed with the fact, has given us the following Ill.
Formation: A yoAng man named Davenport, aged
10 wears, and resident ot West-Brunswick, IN
the north part OF this county, was returning home
from his days work in usual health on the even.
ing of Thursday the 9th ult., but was dead Tor
apparently SOY the next morning, in the road, a.
bout 100 rods from his fathers house. On the
18th, Coroners Inquest was called, who pro-
nounced the cause of his death unknown. From
this time, the body was observed to discover va
rious signs Of gradually returning life, and after
the funeral ceremonies on the 18th, the coffin be
ing opened for the view ofspec,ators, the corpse
presented most unusual appearance--the col
our had returned to the cheeks--the countenance
like that of person in quiet sleep--and large
drops Of sweat were standing on the forehead!
The Young mans father refused TO have him bu-
red--physcians were called and several expert
ments were tried, in the hope of restoring the Vi
tai spark--al however proved unavailing, and
after keeping him till Tuesday, the .4tli ult., the
body was committed to the grave.
The Rev. Mr.. Tenant, Of New-Jersey, many
years ago, we believe, put ON similar appear
ance, and his friends kept him nine days. delay
ing, from day to day, the funeral, and making ex-
peritnents TO revive or resascate him. The
physician persevered in his efforts, and entreated
the family TO allow him to proceed, and finally,
he begged them to allow but fifteen minutes long
er, and in that time he revived and lived many
years.

already had seats in the Legislature, must
therefore have been very young. Can any
parallel be found in history to the cxplora-

4 Breach Of The Marriage Promise.--
A most summary way of repairing thes,
breaches WAS adopted last week, in this city
A young and pretty girl not over Is year
of age, residing in the neighboihood OF New
York, received the addresses of youn,
man in rather hasty manner, the conse
quences OF which could not be concealed. Th,
young man, whether he had business in thu
city or repaired here to avoid the fuIfilmen
OF an honorable and implied contract, is no

and deceived anghter.-They young man wa

the case, agreed forthwith to make the onl
amends in his power by marriage A justic
of the peace was sent for, and he entere,
the prison. On one chair sat the weeping girl
| her head reclining like broken lily, AM
on the other the consciously offending youth
also in tears, while the sturdy father pace
the room, grasping his oaken staff. and, Wit
knitted brows, regarding, occasionally, tn
sinful pair. Fhe light cleaning throug
the prison bars did not tend to enliyen tn
scene. Tho parties stood up and made tn
usual responses, received the marriage Ger
tifcate, embraced each other. and with til
contented father, left the prison, an homes
welded couple. A large party of poo
debtors were present to witness the cere
mony, and who accompanied the oung cou
pie as far as the turnkey would permit.
