The Country Physician,

A Ghost S,ory-The life OF a physician
brings him in contact with many strange events
and that of country practitioners is often made
up of as great variety of incidents, as The city
could afford.
The following incident the writer of thic can
vouch for as having occurred as related, and if
it did not turn out real ghost, at least it CT me-
very near being one. The initials only OF he
parties are given.
Dr. C was the principal physician in .ho
village of S., in Massachusetts. lie had
been attending an infant child o young cou.
pie, whose residence was mile from the yi,ig-s.
bat the child died and was buried, and the mo-
ther was more than usually afflicted at the loss
of her firsiborn.
One night, week or two after the burial Of
the child, the worthy Decor was riding at
late hour OF the night past the village burial
ground. The moon was shining brightly, and
IA cold March wind wac whislling through tie
tops of a couple Of tall pines which then orna-
mented the graveyard. (Some Nandal hand
has since destroyed ihcm.) The Doctor was
musng upon--we know not what-when sud-
denly his old white horse pricked up his ears
and began to snort in very unsual manner.
The Doctor looked around, but could discover
nothing. The old nag with instinct more a.
cute, began to shy away from the grave yard
fence as ifhc had no intention of coming in
prhi nh al
there. The Doctor was not supers.itious; he
got of his horse and climbed the fence into the
graveyard, TO try and discover what had at.
irghted his staid and steady animal.
The Doctor was man not easily frighteneds
but it must be confessed that his hair almost
stood up, and he clutched the end of his riding
whip conyulsivcly, as he looked and saw among
the tall white tombs.tones figure in white,
with long dishevelled hair, kneeling beside a
new made infants grave The figure was rock
ing to and fro, as II in pain or grici, and was 50
near him that he could see that It's white crape-
ry was scanty and thin, aud the cold wind tos.

his resolution was formed. Carefully and firmly
he approached and spoke, but he received 10

Sic odS asleep! 1t was the young mother Mt
the grave of her infant child. Her mind had
been so wrought upon by its death that even
when sleeping she was not perfec. mistress oF
her actions. She had risen from her bed arl
walked more than mile from her residence e.
the burial ground, without waking, and, as mse
be supposed, was horribly frightened when shr
found herself among the tombs. The good Do.

IEANDEa At THE RIO GRANDE.--A letter
received from Charleston gives the following
account of the causes that led to the capture
Of Lieut. Deas;
1T appears that Lieut. Deas was officer of the
day, and it was customary for the American
band To perform the national airs when the
Star Spangied Banner was lowered in the c.
vening. This concord of sweet sounds attract
ed the attention of the Mexicans on the oppo-
site side, and crowds assembled on the banks of
the river to listen 10 the strains of music-a
mong which were many ladies'. Lieut.. Deas
became cnamored with certain Mexican bcau-
ty, and signs and token of affection passed be-
tween them. On the very same evening, like
another Leauder, he plunged into the Mexican
Ilellespont after his Hero. and no sooner had he
landed on the other side than lie was secured as
prisoner. Love, and not valor or friendship
prompted him TO cross the river
