.Nr. Gdgehe-:-we have observed in the "In.
tclligcncer AID Alexandria Gazette" Of this
week, paragraph extracted from the ".Aryus, 4"
printed in Easton, Pa, detailing " remarkable
cirrnmsancr,' based on the high authority of
Mr.. .fters r.. Uhcil!on, and other indi, iduai,
not namc'l. MIR. Albert y. Whel,Ion states that
he arrived on the line OF the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal. near Shepher,l-town, on the Sd day
OF July. 1881: On the Ssh Of August, at 3 o.
clock, T.. NJ, he Vas attacked by the cholers,
which was then raging in that neighbourhood,
AMI which IN almost every proved fatal. -
Whel'lcn sent for ply stefan, Who attended, and
prescribed the usual remedies. Alto o'clock, he
was pronounced ia the collapsed stage Of the dis
case, and at o'clock was TO all appearance dead.
At o'clock, he was placed, By a few friends in
coffin, and taken in l:h, wagon 10 the place Of
interment. about half mile distant. When ar
rived at the grave, grooming was heard, pro-
cceding from the coffin and on opening IL, poor
Whrldon exhibited signs of life, and Was releas-
ed from his disagreeAblc confinement, and is now
alive and we'll, aud resides ia our borough"
We would b. unwilling 20 accuse "poor Whcl-
don" Of willing mcndacity in his statement to the
editor of the Eastnn Argus-we would believe IL
was intended purely rs metaphor He did ar
rive IN Shcpher'lstovn, as many have reason 20
remember. The cholera which seized him short
iy after his arrival. was the debts which he con-
traetcd; the remedies Which the ply sician admin
stercd, and their inefiicacy, the lettering Of
his credit; the 4" collapsed stage" OF the disease,
the terrible farSs Of the sheriff; his death repre-
sent. the utter hopelessness Of his articles longer
TO deceive those whom he had duped; the coffin,
the prospect OF incarceration in another place,
scarcely less terrible; the grosning, an piled
aotiee" to his creditors; and his release from the
coffin, the polite leave Which he took Of them.
The tale Of ''poor Wheldon,"i is told With inf
nile pathos; the expert manner in which he liqui-
dated his "just debts" indicates him n fellow Of
bathos, too. The tale, like many others narra-
ted elsewhere, is romantic in all its details; but
alas for the fame OF its hero, tits bat the illusion
of his own fancy. tho chim-ra Of his own imagi-
nstion-a sheer fabrication from beginning to e1d.
Wheldon was we'll known hcre-he made sn in
delible impression on many of the citizens OF
this place. We congratulate him on his rcstora-
ton TO health, but the same congrstui.,ion we
cannot extend TO his creditors, for they are in y

which lac settled by payment, in life nature Of
