Gov. Wood, of Ohio, is an alroit
political trimmer, and rivals the heifer,
'we read of" that walked on both sides
the creek at the same time. Here is an
instance of his facility in making dou-
bic track:
Some years ago, when the Bank
question agitated Ohio, Mr.. Reuben
Wood was Locofoco candidate for the
Bench. Questions were propounded to
him, as they were to sll the candidates,
touching the Bank question; to which
he returned most catholic and satisfac-
tory answer. He was elected. Not
long after a case arose involving the
point upon which he had been question:
ed. He gave decision in direct oppo-
sition to his former declaration. When
asked to explain his regeneration, he
coolly said, 80, the opinion | gave when
l was a candidate, was the opinion of
Reuben Wood but in the latter case it
was the opinion of Judge Wood"

Alleged EurrinE AIIye.

In the midst of exaggeration and inven-
ton, there is one undoubted circumstance
which formerly excited the worst appre-
hensions-the fact that bodies were of
ten found turned in their cofins, and the
grave-clothes disarranged. But what
was ascribed, with seeming reason, to
the throes of vitality, is now known to
be due to the agency of corruption. A
gas is developed in the decayed body
which mimics, by its mechanical force,
many of the movements of life. So
powerful is this gas in corpses that have
been long in the water, that Mr.. Dever-
gle, the physician to the Morgue at
Paris, and the author of textbook on
legal medicine, says, that, unless secured
to the table, they are often heaved up,
and thrown to the ground. Frequently,
strangers, seeing the motion of the limbs,
run to the keeper of the Morgue, and
announce with horror that person is
alive. All bodies, sooner or later, gen.
crate gas IN the grave and it constantly
twists about the corpse, blows out the
skin till it rends with distensioD, and
sometimes bursts the coffin itself When
the gas explodes with noise, imagina-
tion has converted it into an outcry or
groan the grave has been re-opened;
the position or the body confirmed the
suspicion, snd the lscera.ion taken for
evidence that the wretch had gnawed his
flesh in the frenzy Of despair.

Singular Phenomenon.

About II o'clock on Sunday night last,
sphenemenon truly striking and extra
ordinary occurred here. 1t was the cir
cumstance of the falling of a copious
fall of rain. for the space of from seven
to ten minutes, from perfectly cloudless,
haziless, and Starlit sky. So plentiful
was the shower that the streets run with
water, which had the singular effect upon
the mind Of appearing to come without
cause. During the shower, two streaks
of feecy cloud displayed themselves in
the north and South, but far distant from
each other, and neither of an altitude
above the horizon exceeding 20 degrees.
The position of these clouds forbid the
idea that the rain could have fallen from
either of them. We make no effort to
explain this strange phenomenon, satis-
flying ourselves with bare but faithful
statement of it.-Wa5A'aytOn htclligen-

Prof. Beckeinsteiner, of Lyons, was
struck by an analogy of the cells of
electric fishes with certain minute vessels,
united by nerves and moistened by mu-
Gus, which exist in nearly all kinds of
animals, and are found most developed in
man at the period of the greatest strength,
but collapsed and dried up in old age.
He began a series of experiments, and
after three years investigator has lately
published the following results: When
the temperature is below 35 degrees,
the wind North and the sky clear, expose
cat to the cold until his fur lies close
to the skin and appears greasy; expose
your hands to make them equally cold
then take the animal on your knee, apply
the fingers of your left hand on its breast,
and pass your right hand down its back,
pressing moderately; at the fifth or sixth
pass you will receive slight shock. At
first the cat appears pleased, but as soon
as it feels the shock it jumps away, and
willnotstand a repetition ofthe experiment
during the same day. After the expert
ment the animal looks tired; some days
after it loses its appetite, seeks solitude,
drinks water at rare intervals and dies
in fortnight. The same experiment
has succeeded with rabbits they die the
same day. 1t is unsuccessful with dogs.
Once only it has been made on COW
she was tied to an iron ring the ground
was frozen; one hand was placed on the
breast and the other down the back, when
such an electric shock occurred that Mr..
i. was thrown to the ground. The COW
appeared very much irritated, but it was
impossible to know if she suffered from
it, since she was killed by butcher
three days afterwards.

A poor, forlorn, consumptiTe-looking
hen-pecked husband was seen strolling
through one of the streets in Boston a
few days since, rubbing his hands togeth-
er, and appearing as if weighed down by
soul destroying sorrow. Stepping into
harness makers shop, he inquired in
feeble and pitiful tones.

shopkeeper, pulling down variety Of

CUNNING OF A LIQUOR VENDER.-The
devices to evade the operation of the
Maine Liquor Law are very numerous
and ingenious. A Down East paper
states one of the latest "dodges" to be of
the following character;
A famous liquor dealer has put up in
quart bottles vast quantity of pure
Holland gin. These bottles are labeled
with the name of some wonderful medi-
cine which is advertised in all the news
papers as a cure for all diseases. The
knowing ones have only to be little
unwell, and procurea bottle ofthis famous
cure-all, in order to obtain what liquor
they wish.

Passing Away.

By Fl. d. WHITE.
Rolling on as rolls the river,
With a never ceasing motion,
Speeds the tide of Time, forever,
To eternity's wide ocean:
Every moment is wavelet
Every hour has its event,
Serving to impress the lesson,
Time, to man is only lent.
If we pause, supinely idle
BY the fowry isles of youth,
Or permit our minds TO linger,
Listless in the wales of truth.
From US glide the fatal moments
To return-oh, never!
We may live to win lost laurels,
But time past is past forever.

The Rev. Mr.. E., who lived not a
