sionally raised his right arm. These eff

1.-The animating principle Of nature had left
Ibis frame and could never again be res
.ored. Why mott Are mot people who
have been deprived Of life longer than had
Inc oftentimes besn, restored? Then why
may he not be resuscitateds were ques-
l,ion that seemed TO engaged the minds Of
Ian. Ia the very hight Of anxiety and sus-
Ipense, DR. d ANNOUNCED that he could feel
feeble pulsations. A piece u broken look
ling glass Was Immediately held before his
nosirlls, which was Instantly covered with
Ia cloud. He breathes!" was the unani-
mous shout. All was the most intense
anxiety for some seconds, when The motion
of his chest, as 10 the act Of respiration,
became visible. "His pulse" said Dr ID
Isdoes now certainly beat 10y lie NJ the same
instant exclaimed, she opens his eyes!'
And horrible, indeed, were those eyes
to look upon! He rolled them wildly in
their sock occasionally closing them,
and giving most terrific scowls. Ia abou,
1--we minutes his breathing become tolera-
IDLY frequent--probably he would give one
breath when healthy man would give A..
His breaihings, however, rapidly increas-
ed, in frequency and strength. DR., ID.
began to speak TO him, but,he gave no IN
dications that he hearda word. he look
ed upon the scene around him, with the
!. most dea,hly indifference, seemingly alive
ito nothing. A pin was tried upon his foot.
9 He moved his foot, though not very
. suddenly, and resented the ect with
horrible frown, but frown containing
something Of sadness. His action too
began to take on more energetic char
: acter. He began again to feel his neck,
: and 10 work his body, as though in the
!. scverest agony. Young L., medical
# student Of DR.. s., approached him, and
! taking hold Of his arm and shoulder
!, White rose upon his feet, took two steps,
Z being thus supported, and seated hlmsel
' ,n an arm chair. On seating himself. he
' gave slight groan, his muscles seemed ie
d relax, and he appeared s"mewha, over
O come it'll the exeriion he had made. A
e bottle Of harishorn was Immediately ap
! lplied 10 his nose, which revived him much
!. but his life seemed to be that oil mar
' much intoxicated. He seemed, upon one
!. occasion, to try 10 give HlieEar ce TO some
!. feeling, but from an unknown cause
Y an impeachment, probably by nm accumu
: Ila.ion 10 the throa. occasioned by the exc
| Icution, he was unable to give uiteranc'
q TO single word. We are satisfied iha
!. lhe made an effort OF this kind, for imme
e Ed,ately on the exertion, he gave sorrow
y ful shake Of the head, which signifiec,
r. we rightly understood the langna 1e, -tha
" he meant something he could not dislIncll
express.

IN and Though he was pronounced TO b
