Mr.. Wise docs not seem Ia hold the military

Of his military experience.

that he Is inst as much Of a General as Mr..
Pierce, and that he performed services, on the
occasion he mentioned. just ia valuable. aud

count of remarkable incident in the life of Rev.

when he tainted and died away. After the usual
time he was laid out on q board, according to the
practice of the country, and the neighborhood were
invited to attend his funeral on the next day. In
the evening his physician returned from ride in
the country, and was afflicted beyond measure at
the news of his death. He could not be persua
ded thatit was certain, and on being told that one
of the persons who had laid the body thought he
had perceveda little tremor of the flesh under the
arm, although the body was cold and stiff, he en-
deavored to ascertain the fact. He first put his
own hand into warm water, to make it as sensitive
possible, and then felt under his arm, aud at the

finally prevailed, and all probable means were used
to discover symptoms of returning life. But the
third day arrived, and no hopes entertained of sue

fined his request to delay of one hour, then half
