Z Extraordinary DiseOvery---Who
haIiRNca Ii

Professor Won Grusselbech, of Stockholm, has
| very lately brought to a state Of perfection the
art of producing a torpor in the whole system,
/ bv the application Of cold of different degrees of
/ intensity, proceeding from lesser to a greater
! so as to cause the human body to become per-
tecty torpid without permanent injury TO any or
gan or tissue Of the frame. In this state they
may remain one hundred or a thousand years,
and again, after a sleep of ages, be awakened 10
existence as fresh and blooming as they were
when they first sunk into the irigorfc slumb3r.
The attention of the learned Professor was
first led to the subject )y finding toad encased
in a solid fra gment of a calcareoas rock, ten feet
in diameter, which, when taken out, exhibited
unequivocal signs OF life; but it is supposed that
| the conclusion caused by blasting the rock oc-
casioned its death in few hoars after. The
opinion Of Baron Gruithzen, who is at present
Geologst 10 the King of Sweden was, that it
must have been in that situation for at least seven
thousand years and his calculations were drawn
from tae different layers OF strata by which it was
surrounded
From this hint the Professor proceeded to make
experiments, and after painful and iaborious
course, for the last twenty-nine years of his life,
he al last succeeded in perfecting the great dis
cavary Not less than sixty Thousand reptiles,
! shell-tish, &c., were experimental on before he
tried human subject. The process is not laid
entirely before the public as yet, but had the ho-
nor in company with friend Of visiting the
Professor.
! shall give a slight description of one of the
outer rooms containing some OF his preparations
Previous TO entering, we were furnished with an
IEda-rub5er bag, to which was attached mask
with glass eyes. This was puton to prevent the
temperature OF the room from being raised in the
slightest degree by our breathing. 1t wos a cir
cuIar room, lighted from the TOP by the suns
rays. from which the heat was dsengaged by its
passage through glass &c, colored by the oxide
of cOpper-a late discovery, aAd very valuable
to the Prof sor. The room was shalyed all
around and contains nearly one thousand speci-
mems OF animals
One specimen was a Swedish girl, from APP
pearance about nineteen years Of age. She was
consigned to the Professor by order of govern
m2nt, TO experiment on, she having been guilty
OF numbering her child. With the exception OF
aslight pa.eness she appears as asecr, although
she has benin a state Of complete torPor for two
wears. lie in ends to resuscitate her in five more
years, and convince the world Of the sOundness
Of his wonderful discovery.
The Professor, 10 crafty Us, took a small
snake out Of his cabinet and into another room,
and although it appeared to US to be perfectly
dead and rigid as marble, by application of a mix
iure OF cayenne pepper and brandy, it showed
immediate signs Of life, and was apparently as
active ever It was, in minute, although the
Professor assured US it had been in state of tor
Por six years.

liam TIE Third, there resi- led at Ipswich, family,
which, from the number of pecuiiartics belong
ing to it, was distinguished by the name of the
odd Family Every event remarkably good or
had, happened to this family on an odd day OF the
month"; and every member had something odd in
his or her person, manner and behavior; the We
nv letters in their Christian names ALWAYS hap
pened to be an odd number. The husbands
name was Peter, and his Wites. Raha5 they
had seven children, all boys, viz: Solomon, Ro-
ger, James, Matthew. Jonas David. and Ez 2Gioi.
The husband had bat one leg, his wife, bat one
arm. Solomon was born blind of the left eve,
and Roger lost his sight by accident. James had
his left ear bit off by boy in quarrel, and Mat
thew was born with only three fingers on the
right hand. Jonas had stump foot, and David
was humpbacked. All these, except David, were
remarkably short, while Ezekiel was six feet one
inch high at the age OF 10. The stump-tooted
Jonas and the humpbacked David got wives Of
fortune, but girls in the borough would listen
to the addresses of their brothers. The husbands
hair was as black as jet, and the wife's remark
ably white, vet every one of the children's hair
was red. The husband was killed by accidou-
tally falling into deep pit in the year IDOL and
his wife, refusing all kind Of sustenance, died 3
DAYS after him. IL the year l7O3 Ezekiel en-
listed as a grenadier, and although he was after
wards wounded in % places, he recovered. Ro-
ger, James, Matthew, Jonas and David, it appears
By the church registers, died in different places
and were buried on the same day, in the year
1913; and Solomon and Ezekiel were drowned
together, in crossing the Tames, in the year
1928.
