Something easraordinary.-This is the
third time that the Hon. John Tyler has
succeeded TO office, in consequences Of the
demise of the former incumbent. As
Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, il fell to
his lot to assume the gubernatoriaI chair.

We learn that Judge PORTER ofLouisi-
ana, has purchased a colt in Ireland, to
which he gives the name Of Hark Eorward,
by Economist, out of the dam of Harha-
nay, and consequently full brother 10 the
wonderful horse Of that name. This colt,
one year old this spring, is now on his way
to the United States, and is described rs an
animal of extraordinary size and admirable
form. As Harkaway cannot be procured
to improve our breed of horses in the Uni
ted States, it is gratifying to learn that his
full brother comes among us. We have
at all events the same blood, and from
every indication an animal of equal power.
Superior has not yet been seen, and we
may despair of ever seeing it.-Bee.

IMPORTANT DIscovERY.-A friend has
handed us a recent number ofthe "Gazette
des Deux Mondes,' of Paris, from which
we translate the following
"Some days ago Baron Dupotet preser-
ted to the Academy of Medicine a deaf
male, ten wears of age, whose speech and
hearing he had restored by a magnetic pro-
cess. The Academy Immediately appoint
ed a commission to inquire into the truth
Of a fact which threatens to overturn all
n-cvious notions of science. Their report
Is looked for %anxiously.
.s,nc, that time the Baron submitted to
his nroc.. IS q deaf n,ale Of the age of five
years. A certificate of the members of the
academy of NNicine proves that the child
was both deaf and dumb FROM its birth
The miraculous process of the baron was
evident. for at the end Of the three s~iti.nggs
the child heard and repeated every wor'',
pronouncedin its presence. We have seen
this ourselves.
s.Assurances have been given us, which
we dare not doubt, that the Baron has
cured nineteen persons similarly afflicted.
