that before night she would be 200 miles from
the city, that she had been provided with am
! pie means, and that, had it been Necessary, she
would have given her $50 from her own
! purse.
This is all The Information the father was a.
be TO gain of his daughter, nor has he, we be-
lieve, learned any thing additional since then.
Satisfied that farther entreaty of the woman
would be in vain, he purposed to call the law
TO his aid; but found after repeated inquiries,
that there was no enactment suited to his case.
Though he had reason to believe that his
daughter was still i'm the house of the woman
who had led her astray notwithstanding tho
story Of her being two hundred miles from
here, the law was quite useless to him until
his suspicious should be confirmed. Nor
could the woman be arrested for her entcing
the girl away for purposes of prostitution, she
being little over fourteen years of age, and
twelve being the age specified by the statute.
We saw tho father as he turned away in dis
appointment from the bench of justice, and
have seldom seen such u complete picture Of
despair as he presented. With his head upon
us heaving bosom, and his face suifused with
ears, he wendell his way to his disconsolato
hearth, to communicate 10 his little children
hat she who for years had served them as
mother, was LosT-lost for time, if not for
ternity-andto mourn in secret for the blight

ANIMAL MAGNETISM.

An operation has been performed in this city
which goes far 10 establish the fact that there is
something in Mesmersm, beyond all dispute
Mrs. Davis of Eddington, has suffered for some
time with a tumor in the right shoulder, and was
advised by her physician TO have it removed
While thinking upon the subject she heard of
Animal Magnetism. and came into the city sever
al days since TO have its effect tried upon her.
Mr.. VIM. f.. Small, of This city, who has recent
ly been practising magnetism among his friends,
and found to be sS,eessiul magnelizer, was cali
led upon, and succeeded in mesmeriZing or in
putting her into the magnetic sleep. This was
repeated several times within few. days, when
the physician and several friends met for the pur-
pose OF removing the tumor by surgical opera
ton. The excitement of the preparation Mrs.
Davis remarked, was so great that she doubted
whether Mr.. Small would be able to mesmeriZe
her sufficiently for enduring the operations.
Mr.. Small commenced nagnetZiDg her and in
eleven minutes she fell asleep, and the operation
was continued as much longer, when the surgeon,
DIR. George b. Rich, made an incision in the
shoulder over the tumor, of about two inches i'm
length, and inserted hook into the tumor which
was about haftIe size Of hens egg, and dis
sected ii out and dressed the wound. During the
operation Mrs. Davis manifested some slight UNI
eaSlneSs> like person In troubled dream, and
one or two slight spasms in The opposite ARM
On being taken out OF the sleep she was told that
they had not been able TO extract her tumor. to
which she replied that she had feared they
would not as she was SO much excited about
1t. She was at length apprsed of the result,
! OF which she was previously quite uncon-
scious, and the only sensation of which she was
! in any way conscious was that of being asleep
and wishing TO wake up but not being able. Nor
J had she suffered any pain up to last evening. We
have this statement, substantially, from those
! who were present; and the parties are of tho
( highest responsibility and have no motive fol
! an erroneous statement.-Bangor Whig.

A FORTUNE.

Ayoung lawyer OF this city, possessing tai-
cnt III his profession, but little pecuniary abili.
ty to start swimmingly into life, by one of
those singular chances which are rs rare as
they arc fortunate, has suddenly, as we learn,
become the possessor of q large estate, the at
talnment Of which is indeed remarkable. One
day, which seems to have been marked in his
calender as especially propitious and smiling,
Il laboring lrlshman entered his office to con-
suit him upon particular business, for which
he had been refused the advice of other pro-
fessiona gentlemen. Pursuing the necessary
details, he drew from his pocket sundry docu-
ments unconnected with the original matter i'm
reference, which, exciting the attention OF the
lawyer, proved to be certificates of deposite
for large sum of money in the Bank of Dub
lin, the value of which was previously un-
known TO his client.
The appearance OF things naturally enough
attracting professional observation, an examin-
alton was subsequently instituted, which re-
suited in the fact that property to the amount
OF 100000 had been deposited TO the credit
OF the hitherto poor iaborcr in the bank, and in
establishing his title also TO large landed es-
tate in Ohio, which was valued at ST., 100000,
and bequeathed to the Irishman by the will of
a wealthy but unknown relative. The graft
ndc and generosity of the Iiibernian nation
are well known, but, with liberalty which is
not generally manifested, except in cases of
sudden and unexpected accession TO fortune, the
now wealthy client insisted upon relineuishing
all claim to the iamded property OF which he
had become possessed in favor of his lawyer,
reserving 10 himself only the personal estate
in Itself a fortune. The money has in part
been Withdrawn from the bank of Dublin, and
we understand that G15,000 came out to this
country i'll one of the late steamers, the Gre
moval OF the deposites," probably being in ia
vor of some of our American banks, j. is
stated that this matter, which has resulted so
fortunately, has been in process of settlement
for several months, the lawyer himself having
journied TO the FL Dorado of the West in pros
ecuton of the special business of his generous
client, and having returned with portion of
the income derived from the large property
there held in possession.-Boston TRANSCRIPT.

THE CUT WORM.

The greatest enemy to the Corn crop, is the
Cut w otm. Whole fields have been DESTROYED
by this yoracious little animal, when the plant is
from one 10 three inches high. Methods, with.
out number, have been adopted 10 destroy it,
with but partial success---its depredatons at all
times essentially interfering with the productive-
ness of the crop. A remedy, we think, has at
length been discovered by My. Isaac Newton, an
intelligent farmer Of Delaware county. He has
tried 1T several seasons, and in all cases with enc
tire success 1t is simply by mixing fine Salt
win plaster, in the proportion of one quart Of
salt to four quarts Of plaster, and applying it to
the corn after it has come up. Care must be ta-
ken not to sprinkle the plant itself with the mix
ture, otherwise the poisonous qualities of the salt
may prove injurious.
! MI Newton informs us that such is the efica,.
cy OF this PREPARATION that the very next hills q
those not thus protected and left so as to test the
remedy, were totally destroyed.
! 1t Is now within the power Of every farmer, at
the smallest possible expense, to try this remedy.
Let each one set apar: few rows for the purposes;
and if they find i. efcacious, the benefit will be
great, and no doubt fully appreciated by them.

Il H BEES OF ST. SIMON'S

TIL + T. OF ST. SIMON'S.
For several years. the bees have deposited their hone
in the tower of the church on Saint Smon's Island
the coast Of Georgia. The Rector, Rev. Mr.. WALKER
has regularly sold the honey and sent the proceeds
the Missionary Funds.
There lies, far in the bosom of the seas,
An island fair;
All summer long the patient little bees
Sfe busy there.
The honcy which they gather in their round,
Buzzng from flower to flower,
They hoard in quaint bee hive they've found
In the old church tower
Their store is taken every year, nor do
The bees complain
They know that Con will send, next spring, new
Supply again.
The produce of their careful gatherings goes
To in lands abroad,
Who preach ''glad tidings of great joy to those
Who know not Con.
Like Jonathan, when fanting he did roam
The hungry waste,
How was he quickcncd when a honey comb
He did but taste
So TO those weary laborcrs on lone shores,
This humble hive supplies
The luscious dropping of its annual stores
To light their eyes.
Poor Christian! cen in such small folk as these
A lesson sec!
Doth Con take such good care for tiny bees,
Yet none for thee,
Then say not, Little Faith, thou hast no power
10 gather honey too
All round thee bloom the flowers and cv'ry flower
is filled with dew. J. III. H.
