markable religious revival which has recent

"The revival has embraced ia its benign
influences, nearly tie chOle pOpuIG1iOn-there

Of the two taverners in the place was entire

determined to deal out no more liquor!
At Beallsvillc, ir this county, the results OF
this glorious excitement are still more sur

Five years ago, MI. -, who keeps with.
in gun shot OF our office, found his health
failing. For several days he shut himself
I'D in his house, using such means a. were
recommended by his friends, but oil to no
purpose; it was not, however, until after
much persuas sion by his anxious friends that
a medical adviser was called in. His case
was stated. The doctor did not seem to be
very hasty in making up his mind. but prom.
iscd to srnd him something which would no
doubt cure him.
Hour after hour elapsed. and no messen.
ger arrived. In fact there had been but ono
ran at the front door during the forenoon,
and that by an awkward boy, who was rep
ri,nanded for bringing wood saw, horse
and axe to the front door, and directed to
take them round to the gate.
The Doctor was again sent for.
sWell,' says the Doctor, 'how does the
medicine work =
sThe medicine, my dear sir, I have seen
none'
'Ah, see YOU don't know how to tnke it,
But sir, there is some error-I have re-
ceived no medicine whatever
Didn't boy bring you sG~ and accom-
panimenis"
There was, Doctor, something Of the kind
brought to the door-but it that ~ your pre-
scription, how under the sun can sick man
take such indigestible articles! don't UNDER
stand. Doctor
.Well, then, ! will tell YOU said the Doc

Ice SpEcuLArloN.-In consequence Of the
scarcity Of ice the present season, several live
Yankees in this neighborhOod have been
running quite a rig Of speculation by pur-
chasing up such US they could find on tho
ponds in the country round. One Of them
found fine lot about five inches thick on n
pond in the woods Of Maiden. and forthwith
offered the proprietor fifty dollars for the
privilege of cutting it out. It Is hardly ne
cessary to say that the offer was accepted.
and The money paid over. The night follow.
ing the purchase, came up with warm rain.
and when tho purchaser went on the next
day TO cut up the ice he found it did not "cut
up" quite as well as he had anticipated. in.
stead of five inches of generalization which he
had purchased, he found only about two
inches Of ice left, and that was fast slipping
away" Tho ice. speculator miZzled for
home, declaring that when he purchased
another pond of ice he would get it insured.
Thus msiled away hisvisions Of wealth.
