took to his bed, in which he still remains.
Her friends now had the coffin dug up and
opened; they had it buried again, and pro-
eeeded to fill up the grave, when the knock
ing were again heard louder than ever.
The coffin was now taken up a second time,
and carried into the church, Whereitremain-
ed until the 18th. A doctor was sent for
from Valence, opened vein, from which
blood flowed abundantly. Incredible as it
seems, even this fact was not considered as
conclusive of death not having taken place,
and the poor girl was now buried for the third
time; the same knockings being again heard
as distinctly as before, when the earth was
beginning to be thrown in. But the assist

and this time the burial was completed, not

OF the persons present at these extraordinary
proceedings, hereupon signed petition to the
Prosecutor General Of the Republic, who
Immediately visited the spot. His first care
was to prohibit all access to the graveyard,
and it is to be hoped that the coffin will be
opened and the position of the deceased as
certained. But as yet nothing farther has
transpirod, upon the subject.

Barber-ous Edict.

The Queen of Portugal has just carried
outa general cropping or trimmingof boards
and moustaches worn by the army, her own
husband not having been excepted from It's
operation. The decree which effects this re-
form ordains that the forests of beard which
overspread the faces of most Portuguese Of
fcers shall fall under the sweep of the razor,
and that nothing shall hencefOrth he worn
but moustaches and imperials, the shape and
dimensions Of which are prescribed with the
precision and taste of one who is connois-
seur in such embellishments, general officers
alone being allowed to indulge in the luxury
of whiskers, which, however, are to be of a
certain pattern, and not to exceed so many
inches in length. The immediate effect of
this reform has been to produce such met
amorphosis in the human face divine, that
the nearest and dearest friendspa each 9TH
er in the streets without the least sign of
mutual recognition. We are acquainted with
ladies not few, in whose souls this intelli-
gence will excite the strong desire thai they
might be Queens Of New York just long
enough to issue a similar proclamation-re-
firing, then, with perfect conformation" in
to private life for ever!

If Purser Smith would send letter to the
Captain General denying the charge made
against him, the difficulty would all be set

that under no circumstances could he allow
Mr.. Smith or any other officer under his com
mand, to address any communication to the
Cuban authorities upon the subject, as Capt
Porter an officer of unblemished reputation
had on two previous occasions, under hi
own signature, disavowed the charge.

Premature Burial.

A most extraordinary case of premature
burial, says Paris letter, has just occurred
in the Commune of La Vache, in the Drome,
of which near relation of the victim, inhab-
iting Lyans, has written full accountto one
of the leading journals of that city. 1t
seems that the deceased, named Maria Vic
toire Paradis, aged 90, had been gradually
declining in health for about six months
that on the 9Th of last month, at 10 o'clock
in the evening, she appeared to breathe her
last Her father, mother, young cousin Of
IS, and other friends standing at her bed
side, had no doubt of her being dead, and in
the course of an hour the assistants proceed
ed to lay her out, when to their horror, bel
mouth was seen to open. They went on
however with their melancholy task, anc
got her at last wrapped in winding sheet
The next day the friends proceeded to bu
ry her, but as she was member Of the sis
terhood of the Immaculate Conception, il
which the dead are always carried to tn
place of burial in an open coffin, with tn
face uncovered, the deceased was seen to 0
pen her eyes, which SO terrified the bearers
that they set down the coffin, and called up
on one of the superiors of the order, t
whom they related what they had seen; bu
when the superior arrived on the spot, tn
girls eyes were closed, SO she only laughe
at their terror, and ordered them to prOcee
to the cemetery. The young woman's eyf
opened again at the gate of the cemetery
but the burial still went on. The coffin WI
: shut and lowered into the grave, but when
D few shoVels full of earth had been thrown il
j knocking was distinctly heard in the ipsit
i Of the coffin. This knocking grew loud
a and louder as the grave was filed, and at las

Mr.. Everett's Speech at Faneuil Hall.

At great meeting of the citizens Of Bos-
ton, without distinction of party, in Faneuil
Hall, convened in honor of Mr.. Webster,
and to take measures for the erection of a
monument to his memory, after the adoption
of appropriate resolutions, Mr.. Everett spoke
as follows:
Mr.. Mayor and fellow-citizens never
arose to address an assembly when l was so
little fit, body or mind, to perform the duty;
and 1 never felt so keenly how inadequate
are words to express such an emotion as
manifestly pervades this meeting in common
with the whole counryt. There is but one

with the tones Of clarion In the limos

BY eEoRa D. PRENTICE.

us Morn the sea breeze seems to bring
Joy, health, and freshness on its wing;
Bright flowers, to me all strange and new,
Are glttering in the early dew,
And perfumes rise from every grove,
As incense to the clouds that move
Like spirits DER yon wel,in clear
But am sad-thou art not here
It's Noon "a calm, unbroken sleep
Is on the blue waves of the deep;
A soft haze like fairy dream,
Is floating over wood and stream,
And many a broad Magnolia flower,
Within its shadow woodland bower,
Is cleaning like lovely star
But l am sad-tl art afar

IT'S Eve:-ou eartlrthe sunset skies

The stars come down and trembling glow,
Like blossoms in the waves below,
And like an unseen sprite, the breeze
Seems lingering midst the orange trees,
Breathing its music round the spot
But | am sad see thee not!
lis mldnight-with a soothing spell
The far off tones of ocean swell
Soft as mothers cadence mild,
Low bending DER her sleeping child;
And on each wandering breeze are heard
The rich notes of the mockiug bird,
In many wild and wondrous lay
But am sad-thou art away!
| sinkin dreams low, sweet, aud clear,
Thy own dear voice is in my ear:
Around my cheek thy tresses twine-
Thy own loved hand is clasped in mine,
Thy own soft lip to mine is pressed
Thy head is piIlowed my breast
Oh, have all my heart holds dear,
And am hapPy--thou art here!

The Crescent City.

Purser Smith was on the Crescent City
after all; and the despatch of our own cor
respondent, first published, stating the fact
to be so, was correct. Still, the evidence on
which we stated the contrary this morning
was such as we could not dispute Our au-
thority was a despatch from New York to
Mr.. Jennings, the agent of the line here,
corroborated which was needless, by reports
from other sources, supposed to be we'll in
formed 1t was, however, palpably an err
ror, if not fraud upon the agent here and
we trust that the author will be tracked out
and exposed to the public reprobation which
such conduct merits.
Purser Smith remained on board and
the inference which we drew, that the Span
ish authorities had persisted in their course
towards the Crescent City, notwithstanding
his absence, falls to the ground. Their tone
on the contrary was sonsibly lowered, in al
lowing the mails and passengers to land
but they continued to justify and insist up
on repeating the act of excluding the shiT
totally from their waters, if the offending
person shall continue to be on board
1t seems too, that they are willing t.
withdraw totally their order of prescription
