Remarkable Circumstance. fol.
lowing may be relied on (says the Eas-
ton Penn. Argus,) as fact, and
persons are now in this borough who
were present when the occurrence took
place. There is no doubt but that du-
ring the prevalence of the Cholera,
numbers were inferred prematurely.
Albert t. Whelden, left Easton,
Pennsylvania, on the 9th of June,
1882, and arrived on the line of the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal, near Shep-
herdstown, Maryland on the Sd of Ju-
ly. On the 18th of August, at 3 P.
NJ. he was attacked by the Cholera,
which was then raging in this neighbor-
hood, and which in almost every case
proved fatal. Whelden sent for ply
stefan, who attended and prescribed the
usual remedies. At 6 o'clock he was
pronounced in the collapsed state of
the disease, and at 7 was to all ap-
pearance dead. At O'Clock he was
placed by few friends in coffin, and
taken in light wagon to the place Of
interment; about half a mile Distant
When arrived at the grave, groan-
ing was heard proceeding from the cof-
fin, and on opening it, poor Whelden
exhibited signs of life and was liberia
ted from his disagreeable confinement.
He is now alive and well, and resides
IN our borough.
The standard weight for merchanta.
bic wheat this season, has been fixed by
the city millers of Richmond, Va, at
5elbs. the bushel. Last season it was
go, and half the crop weighed 81.
General Cass returned to Montreal
from Quebec, on the 18th ult., and pro-
ceeded next day for the Falls of Mag
ara.
On an estate of Gen. Wade Hamp-
toms, on the Mississippi, little above
New Orleans, out of fifteen hundred
slaves, more than seven hundred have
been destroyed by Cholera.
Three persons of Rochester, New
York, have certified 9th ult.( that
they saw, the day before, a strawberry,
the product Of garden in the village
which measured eight inches in cir
conference.
AvERY.-The Fall River Monitor,
OF Saturday, states, that Avery is a
mong the missing. He has not been
seen in Bristol; and no one can tell, SO
far as inquiry has been made, where
he has gone.
A Remittance. What convenience
U. S. Bank Note is to a friend at a
distance. How a newspaper can be
opposed to continuance of this Bank
is riddle, when it affords such facilities
for their good subscribers in all quar-
tiers Of the Union to send them what,
by merely stepping into the great pill
Jared building, they can convert into
sinners that will jingle so as to be heard
all over change. The very thing
TOO, so needful for them. No loss now,
of from 2 to 20 per cent. to dispute
with their customers about, as was
once the case. One just from Florida
is equal to Old Gold.-BoSton Ceatinel
The interments in New York last
week, were 149. In the correspond
ing week of last year, when the chole.
"a was at its greatest height, the deaths
amounted to SS7.
An honest colored man--as noble as
any other ,cork of CODA few days
since, a gentleman lost in the street
Three Hundred Dollars, which was ad,
vertised in the New York Gazette
The next morning, the faithful coloreC
porter in the store of P. |. Nevius &
Son, came forward with the money
which he found in the street. 1t is need
less to add, that he was handsomely re
warded by the owner; but his riches
reward is, consciousness Of having
performed an obligatory duty.
