MR. GALLAHEa:-We have observed in the
| Intelligencer and Alexandria Gazette, Of this
week, paragraph extracted from the 4" Argus, y
printed 10 Easton, Pa, detailinga remarkable
circumstance" based on the high authority oil
Mr.. .albers 7. Tpheldon, aud other individuals
not named. Mr.. Albert T. Wheldon states that
''he arrived on the line Of the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal, near Shepherdstown, On the Sd day
P. NJ, he was attacked by the cholera, which
was then raging in that neighborhoOd. and which
in almost every case proved fatal. WheldOn
sent for phi ysician, who attended, and prescribed
the usual remedies. At 8 o'clock, he was pro.
nounced in the collapse stage Of the disease, and
at o'clock was to all appearance dead. At 8
O'Clock, he was carried, by few friends, 10 q
light wagon to the place Of interment. about half
a mile distant. When arrived at the grave, a
groaning was heard, proceeding from the eofio;
and on opening it, poor Wheldon exhibited signs
of life, and was released from his disagreeable
confinement, aud Is now alive and well, and re.
sides 10 our borough"
We would be unwilling TO accuse ''poor Wheel.
DOM Of willing mendacitv in his statement 10
the editor of the Easton Argus-we would be.
lieve it was intended purely as metaphor. He
did arrive in Shepherdstown, as many have rea-
son to remember. The cholera which seized him
shortly after his arrival, was the debts which he
contracted; the remedies which the physician ad
ministered, and their inefficacy, was the totter
ing of his credit; the collapsed stage" Of the
disease, the terrible fangs Of the sheriff; bis death
represents the utter hopeIessness Of his articles
longer to deceive those whom he had duped; the
coffin, the prospect of incarceration in another
place, scarcely less terrible; the groaning, an
"implied notice" to his creditors; and his re-
lease from the coffin, the polite leave which he
took Of them.
The tale Of "poor Whelden, is told with in.
finite pathos; the expert manner 10 which he IL
quidated his ''just debts" indicates him fell
low Of bathos, too. The tale, like MANY others
narrated elsewhere. is romantic 10 all its details;
but alas for the fame Of its hero, it is but the IL
fusion of his own fancy, the chimera of bis own
imasinaton-a sheer fabrication from beginning
to end. Wheldon was we'll known here-he
made an indelibIe impression on many Of the ci.
ti1ens Of this place We congratulate him on
mis- restoration 70 health, but the same congratu-
laton we cannot extend to his creditors, for they
are in "collapsed stage" as he regards the
the debts which he settled by payment, in the
nature Of swinding for his bond. aud French leave
for the security. MANY CITIZENS.
