Mrs. SIpDoNs.-As an instance of tho
great power which this unequalled actress
held over the minds of her auditory, we
need not mention the following circum-
stance when she performed the part Of
Agnes in Fatal Curiosity, and when during
the scene where Agnes goes up to Wilmont,
and produced the jewels of their unknown
son, giving remote hint of his numbering
him, she threw sucn and expression in her
coun.enance as made the flesh of every spec
tator creep. A Mr.. Crabbie Robinson,
gentleman of the bar, and scholar well
known in the world ofliterature, who was
sitting in the pit, declared afterwards, that
from this moment his respiration grew diff
ficut, and in few seconds he lost oil CON-
mand Of himself. When the murder scene
approached, he laughed aloud, and there
was general cry in the pit ef turn him
out" The process of ejectment was even
begun, and he had received some harsh
treatment, when humane woman inter-
posed, who saw his real condition. He
was in strong hysterics.---CampbeEs Life

FATAL RENCoNTRE.

A Chicago paper states that fatal rem
contre took placelast Tuesday between Mr..
Spittire, the editor of the 'sIndependent
Screamer," and Mr.. Slash of the " National
Scalping Knife" The parties fought with
battle-axes, and the engagement, which was
extremely desperate, lasted ten minutes.
The first round ended in both parties losing
an ear and part of the jaw-bone. Many
terrible gasbes were then given and recei-
we'd, till the heads of both were nearly sew
cred from the shoulders-when, throwing
aside their axes, the infuriated combatanta
grappled each other by the throat, and fell
mortally wounded, each with the others
head in his arms. This occurrence" says
the Chicago Courier, "has thrown a gloom
over our peaceful city,"

WONDERFUL CASE OF ANIMAL
MAGNETISM.
GULLTowN, Oct. Goth

GULLTowN, Oct. Goth.
Mr.. EDIToR-I am confident that you
will not refuse to permit me to make your
journal the medium of communicating to
the world one of the most extraordinary
instances Of animal magnetism upon record.
Indeed, had | not myself been an eye wit
ness and an ear-witness of the occurrence,
should have been one of the last in the
world to give it credit. But you know me
well enough, Mr.. Editor, to be assured that,
from my habits of caution and investiga-
tion, am not person likely to be made the
victim of an imposture-nay, that my ha-
bitual scepticism is such, and such my ad-
herence to old established opinions, that it
was long time before I would admit that
Mr.. Spoils, the great orator Of our county,
was an honest man and disinterested pat
riot; or that Mr.. Prosey, our village-po
would be remembered when Pope was for
gotten; or that Sir Thomas Lawrence
couldn't hold candle to our celebrated por-
trait painter, Mr.. Daubett. These facts
are now universally admitted; but it was
not till the proofs were overwhelming that
I permitted myself to give them the least
credit.
OF course, you know all about our city Of
Gulltown. 1t is delightfully."- situated at the
junction of the great Gumbugbee with the
Little Mudpuddlee, and its population Is, by
the next census, which will be taken in five
or SIX years, somewhere about twenty thou
sand. The Great Union railroad passes, or
rather will pass, right by the market-house
and courthouse, both of which are under
contract, to be built of our new Keshukoo
granite by the famous architect, Mr.. Moon
shine. The railroad will be commenced the
moment that Mr.. Bambuzel, the president
of our bank, (which will soon go into op-
eration) returns from negotiating the great
Gulltown loan in London. Nothing could
be more healthy than the location Of our
city. To be sure, we have little fever and
ague, but everv one soon gets SO accustom-
ed to that as not to mind it. The rattle
snakes are yearly diminishing, and, in our
principal street, it is not once month that
any Of our children are bitten by them.
The wolves are very harmless, and can be
easily driven away BY setting fire to the
trees. Should you, Mr.. Editor, or any Of
your friends wish to invest anything in
