A REMARKABLE CASE = SIGHTToTHE BLIND.
The Woodstock American furnishes an
interesting notice Of an experiment made by
DR.. Caldwell, in Canada, a few days ago
Our contemporary says that a blind girl
named Sarah Hanley, of the township of
Malahide, was restored to sight almost in
simultaneously, and then goes on to remark /:
1t seems that she was born perfectly blind
and is now twenty one years of age. Dur
ing this long time, Of course she had not the
slightest comprehension of the appearance
of any objects more than she could acquire
from the sense Of touch. 1t is little won
derful therefore that her feelings were EXCL
ted when she first beheld the light Of the sun
and the appearance of all the things around
her. Our contemporary says--''To describe
the sensations of the young lady when the
first welcome ray Of light entered her hith-
erto sightlcss orbs, would be beyond u
power, In an instant, as If by magic, the
idea OF material things which she had cher
ished for so many years, through the sense
of feeling, were entombed in memory. A
new and bright world. full of light and life
full Of wonder and admiration-terrible,
because hitherto unknown in its realized
beauty and grandeur, seose before her. She
looked and trembled ; she shook from head
to foot like an aspen leaf; and unable to ut
ter q word. she gazed with wild astonish-
ment on the scene before her"
When her emotion had somewhat subsi-
ded, Or, Caldwell inquired if she saw him:
Yes, said she, | see you. Oh, how white
you loqkl subsequently, she noticed a pair
Of brass caRdlesticks in the room, and inquir-
ed what they we're, On being informed
she was increduious, The ideas tina. she
had formed of a candlestick were far differ
ent from those which her new born sight
conveyed, The candlesticks we're brought
to her: she handled them, and exclaimed,
oh, yes, they are candlesticks; hog bright
they look, DR.. Caldwell showed her his
gold watch and inquired il she knew what
Il was. She answered in a negative. and
orwbeing informed she said. What a queer
thing it is; both sides Of 1t are mot aide
We may add that the young lady's sight is
daily improving In strength. and that she
returned 10 her home in Malahide a few
days since, rejoicing in the light Of life.

Forwh,t Is Gen. Pierce Distinsuianed

Not for his Milar exploits, He did nothing
while III Mexico TO render his mans Ia nillar
to the people. So far from it, we doubt whe-
ther one man in twenty remembered. when
his name was announced, that he had ever
been in Mexico.
For shat, then, is be distinguished
Not for his Civil services. 1t is true he
has been in Congress, but was he a distinguish

House with James *. Polk. At that time
Mr.. Polk was not known as 4 man OF COM
manding talents. Yet he WIS made Chair
man OF the Committee Of Ways and Means.
But where was Gen. Pierce Not only not
at the head of any Committee, but near tue
tail Uf the Committee on the Judiciary. At
ter Mr.. Polk was elected Speaker, where did
he place Gen. Pierce I! The records answer:
not at the head of any Committee, but in the
Biddle OF the Committee on the Judiciary!
Nor was Gen. Pierce ever placed at the
head of any Committee by any of the Demo-
cratic Speakers while he was in the House.
they always placed him where he would
have no responsibilities and but little lsdor.
Did this indicate bigh appreciation OF his
profound talentsl
While he was in the Senate. he met with
but little better success. 1t was not until
the last year or two of his service in that body
that he was placed at the head of any Commit
tee, and then only at the head of that on Pen
sions.

To the Point.

The Washington Republic publishes the
atfidavits of ten more persons, who were
present at the meeting in New Boston when
Gen. Pierce made the speech in which it was
reported he declared he loathed the Fugitive
Slave Law, his heart revolted at the idea of
giving up runaway slave, &c. These make
with others already given, the affdavits OF
about thirty respectable citizens, who were
present at this meeting, and declare unequiv-
ocally Pierce did use the language attributed
TO him, or its substance. Now this places
Gen Pierce in an unenviable position. He
declared in q letter, that this report sUorn
thus by about thirty persons to be a true re-
port, was tissue of falsehoods from begin
ing to end. His own friends acknowledge
that portion of the report is true, therefore
convict him of mistake thus far. Now,
these other witnesses have sworn that the re-
port was entirely correct, and thus swore
that Gen. Pierce's letter was what he decar-
ed the report. Gen. Pierce is Interested
The witnesses are not. Suppose this matter
were left with one of our civil Courts, what
think you would be its verdict! We should
like to hear the opinic n of our neighbor OF the

Mr.. wILtARe.-The louisville Journal,
in alluding to Democratic meeting held in
Louisville last Saturday. thus speaks of our
honorable Democratic candidate for 1t. Gov
eEnor:
AS there was large proportion OF Wings
in the meeting, it was but fair that they
should have some one TO help their cause
after the gallant Major took his seat, so Mr.
Willard arose and converted the proceedings
of the Democracy into u farce.
B. Willard is to speak at the Wing
and Democratic meeting called for the 18th
inst. If the Wings wish treat they'll 60 to
it.
Mr.. Willard appears to be very happy in
winning just such golden honors" whichever
he takes the stump. We wish he would stay
at home, and make speeches in Indiana. lie
is better for making Wing votes, than any
two Wing speakers in the State. The
Wings of Kentucky don't need bis help, and
we Of Indiana don't expect to require much
of it-but still he might give us al. he can by
making his peculiar Democratic speeches till
the election.
