MYSTERIOUS.

A gentleman belonging TO one Of the most
ancient and wealthy families Of this city, who
must be well known TO numerous friends, having
since the year 1918 up TO recently, been bent
nearly double, aud for several years confined TO
bis bed, has been restored to good healih-has
reganed his natural erect position-and has
quilted his carriage, and now walks with ease (! |!
We believe this is the gentleman's own descrip-
ton as near as possible, and there is no exag-
geratidn in it. We ewill give nquirers his address
and doubt not his humane feelings will excuse
the liberty; so that any one doubling ,may know
these iacls-though he requests his name may
not appear in print. Among other similar in

TIE ELEcIIoN.-Our readers are already sufi.
ciently acquainted with the fact that the Wing party
OF Connecticut have sustained disastrous defeat
and that the spirit Of restless and reckless faction
IS once more in the ascendant. The causes which,
have edtosO Notifying result. are doubtless known
and understood BY the great mass Of Intelligent and
men in the State. The unhappy state Of things
which has existed At Washington for some time pasHv
could not fail ppotEuce want of confidence i'm ,hv
minds OF many The Wings in Congress, though
having nominal majority, have been prevented
from accomplishing many important measures for the
relief ct the country from existing embanassmenis,
by few pretended friends Of the administration who
Join the entire body OF the locotOcOs in casting every
possible obstacle in the path Of REFORM The course
Of the President in direct opposition to the known
will of thTeeourlhs of those who raised him to power
has also had its influence on the elections of this and
other States. These circumsta noes were eagerly sez
ed upon by the swarm 0f locOfoco Office seekers and
demagogues-new hobbys were moun.ed--fase is-
sues were made-,heir followers werc exhorted and
enreated to give them ore more chance at the spos.
and they have succeeded .s-..
In addition to these "foregn influences" there
have been causes ut home which have operated
against US. For several months previous to the cleo.
ton number Of agents were employed BY the Abo.
ton Society to traverse the State, organize distinct
political party. and obtain pledges from their members
to adhere to heirown ticket a, all hazards. BY these
means they succeeded in drawing away some twelve
hundred votes, nearly all of which would otherwise
have been cast for the Wing ticket. They have al.
so succeeded in preventing an election Of Represents.
atives in fifteen or twenty towns which have usually
chosen Wings. 1t must be peculiarly gratifying to-
the members Of the Liberty Party to reflect tina.
they have aided in placing in the United States Sem
ate man who will treat their petitions with con.
:empt-who vii! vote for sag'laws, and do his utmost
to promote Southern principles and Southern policy!
The Conserva,ives-.he License Law-and other
matters Of miner importance, have also contributed
their mite towards transferring the power from the
hands Of the Wings into those Of their opponents.

result throughout the State, (Vuluntown not heard

which in running out either killed or carried

SUPERsrlTIoN. The n, Hampshire Stand:
ard records most singular Instance Of
the fatal effect which superstition may have
ON a weak mind. 1t may be promised that
the breaking of looking glass is regarded
as The precursor Of death in the family. The
story alluded to is this:
A lady arrived 10 Exeter, N. H., last week.
having female servant with her. On the
day alter her arrival the latter broke look
'ng-gIaSS. She bccamc greatly alarmed at
the lrifling circumstance, covered over the
glass with a handkerchief, and turned 1t TO
the wall that she might not see it. Haunted
by the superstiti0us idea, she became sad and
detected, and went To bed on Wednesday,
two days after the accident, poorly aud mis-
cradle, retiring earlier than usual, OH account
of her illness
The next day she was worse, and her mis-
tresS desired her not TO get up. Or Friday
one OF the most experienced medical gentle
men ct the placC was called in. lie found
her free from bodily pain, but suffering un.
der perfect prostration of strength and
spirits. She continued to sink till twelve
O'Clock next day, when she expired, victim
to the absurd superstition of the dreadful
consequence Of the breaking Of looking
glass.
Mr.. CLAY AND Mr.. CALHouN-An ancc-
dote is told OF the meeting of Messrs. Clay
and Calhoun after the former retired from
the Senate. which shows that political strife,
though it may for while deaden the finer
feelings of the heart, cannot destroy them.
especially in those hearts that beat with gen.
erous and manly sensihilitics. AS Mr.. Clay
was passing towards the door 10 leave the
Senate chamber, Mr.. Calhoun met him
they had not spoken to each other for five
years-hut they now simultaneously cxien.
drd their hands: neither spoke, but both
wept. Al length Mr.. Clay said, on parting,
" Give my best regards to Mrs. Calhoun"
How much more noble was this reconcilia.
ton and parting, than it they had separated
looking defiance n, each other! They had
almost spent their lives together in Congress-,
and al various times stood shoulder to shout
der. Time had passed over both, and the
young had become old. One was about to
retire, and both must ere long "sleep the
sleep that knows no waking" The retire.
ment of the one would leave the other with
no companion or rival OF HIS younger days,
and it told him empha,ically that he too must
follow. thoughts like these soften the heart
not wholly indurated, and cause the fountain
Ut generous feeling to gush forth.

REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF SuIc1DE.-We
learn from the letter of friend that Capt
James Petit, residing near McNair, in Polk
county, CTenn.) committed suicide on the
10th of FEBRUARY, by blowing out his brains
with rifle. He placed the muzzle of the
gun directly between his eyes and discharg-
ed it by n string, attached in some way to
the trigger. He had no white family, nor
were there any persons on the premises ex.
cept his negroes-27 in number. A jury of
inquest was summoned, and the manner in
which the deceased came to his death SET
tied after which portion of the jury took
charge Of his effects. They got his keys,
and upon opening the first trunk found his
will. written six days previous, by which
two of the jury. then present, were appoint
ed his executors, Zone of whom is the friend
who communicates this intclligence.) They
also found, in the same trunk, ten thousand
dollars in gold and silver The purport of
the will was that his negroes should hc
freed, and all his personal effects, together
with the cash ON hand, divided amongst
them. Tho money was deposited in one of
the banks at Athens for safe keeping, and
the executors took charge of bis other prop
