to enter upon his duties in Sweden, with the Of
warm weather. But he has been constantly declining
since his arrival at Pars and had strength only to proceed
about forty leagues to the south Of where he died in the

MACADAMIZED STREETS.

The breaking up of the frost and long conIlnu'
ance OF wet weather afford opportunity OF ludg'
ing OF the stability and goodness of the macadsml'
zed streets, compsred with others. Those, VINO
will take the trouble of drive through BEACON
street, which has been macadamized, and alter
wards through the parallel streets, similarly situated
namely, Chestnut and Sumner-strees, will see inc
great superiority of the macadamized streets over
grayelled streets, made in the common way.
comparison may be made also between the part o'
Sumner street, near the State House, and the para
lei streets Walnut, Belknsp, and Bowdoin- streets
equally advantageous TO the new mode. Inc ma'
cadamzed streets are in better order than any OF INC
grayeled streets, and even than many paved srees'
besides possessing the peculiar advantages OF qus
and great saving Of horses and carriages. Pafl"

The apprehension, that frost would break up 'h'

difficulties will be seized to furnish the most salts

resident OF West Brunswcs, in the north part of
this county, was returning home from his days

next morning, in the road, about 100 rods from his
fathers house. On the lth coroner's inquest
was called, who pronounced the cause of his death
unknown. From this time the body was observed
to discover various signs OF gradually returning life
and, alter the funeral ceremonies on the 18th, the
coffin being opened for the view of spectators, the
corpse presented most unusual appearance--the
color had returned to the cheeks--the countenance
like that OF person in quiet seep-and large drops
OF sweat were standing on the forehead The young
mans father refused to have him neutrality-suspicious.
we're called and several experiments were tried in
the hope Of frestoring the vital spark. All, however,
proved unayaiing and alter keeping him till Tues.
day, the l4th ult the body was committed to the
grave.
From the National .fdrocate.
The Rev. Mr. Tenant, of New Jersey, many
years ago, we believe, put on similar appearance,
and his friends kept him nine days. delaying, from
day to day, the funeral, and making experiments
revive or resuscitate him. The physician persever.
ed in his efforts, and entreated the family to allow
him to proceed, and finally he begged them to al
low but fifteen minutes longer, and in that time he
revived, and lived many years.
