STRANGE-Bur TRuE,-Most of our read
ers recollecs that, some months ago, man named
John Scott, protesting to be deaf and dumb, met
with serious accden. in this place. Since that
time, he has been treated by some of our citizens
as an object of sympathy. He was wrthing IN
der the severest pain, and being both deaf and
dumb he could only express it by signs. By de-
grees he recovered until, with the assistance of
crutches, he could walk about his room. About
this time ne was taken with the typhoid fever,
which reduced him 50 low, that for time his
life was despaired Of Upto Sunday night there
was no change, until some time during the night,
MIR. Covington, the gentleman at whose house he
is staying, was awakened by noise in the sick
mans room. Fearing something had happened
TO him he went up immediately, and strange as it
may seem-the degf and dumb man aoas talking,
and could hee' +! as perfectly as any one. Since
he began to talk, he says he was but four years
old when he lost the power of speech and hear
ing, and has remained so for t,renty four gears.
We know not what to say. 1t is strikes us as
one of the most singular occurrences on record.

they ever, to my heart at least, nor to my eye,
lose their tender, their powerful charms How

or close to the heart, especially if they be dead
No thought is so insupportable as that Of entire,
total, blank forgetfulness-when the creature
that once laughed, and sung, and wept to us

been. She and them swallowed up in the dark
nothingness of the dust
