Something for the Marrclous.--it is only
once in a while that we get hold of something
truly wonderful and marvellous, like the fol-
lowing from the Boston Chronicle of last Sat-
urday. "The following remarkable statements
were made to US by Mr.. Robert L. Ellis, Of
Medford, deacon Of the first Baptist chucrh,
and very excellent man. On Wednesday ev-
ening last, Mr.. Edwards, 4 NJ ember of band
died suddenly at his residence on Ship street.
Mr.. Ellis kindly called upon the afflicted fami-
ly to render his services to perform those off.
ces required at such time He had been in
the house but a few moments when he heard
the notes Of a post horn coming seemingly
from an apartment in the house; the sounds
were repeated at intervals Of from five to ten
minutes, at least half dozen times. Annoy
ed by it, he searched the house and vicinity to
discover the cause, but without success
There were ten or twelve other persons in the
roem, all of whom heard the sounds, and were
utterly at loss to account for them. Mr.
Litchffed, 4 very respectable man, who occupies
a part of the house, suggested that the sounds
proceeded from certain closet. 1t was open
ed, and the sounds were more distinct. On
shelf lay the post horn of the deceased. twas
by request, the sounds ceased and
have not been heard since We know Mr.. Ellis
personally as gentleman Of intelligence and
strictest integrity. He says all who were there
will testify to the same facts. Here is then
an item for the marvellous which has caused no
little excitement in Medford."

| IL A letter from Buenos Ayres, in the New
York Times, relates some instances Of horrid
cruelty perpetrated by Gen. Urquiza, previous
to his flight. One instance was that Of Donna
Martina Pando, wife Of D. Marino Roman, who
wrote letter to an officer named Capaco, ad-
vising him to leave the ranks of Urquiza and
Join those of the legal Government. Capaco,
who had been fed and clothed by the lady when
he was in great poverty, pretended to favor her
wishes, but at the first opportunity betrayed
her to Urquiza, who ordered her instant arrest
and sentenced her to receive 800 lashes, and
proceeded, in person, accompanied by Lagos,
his colleague, to see the sentence executed
The victim was led out, stripped entirely of her
clothing, and placed in the midst of the squadron
of soldiers assigned to inflict the punishment.
The cries and agony of the wretched woman,
at an exposure so much more horrible to her
than death ITSELF had no effect upon her heart
less executioners. Before the stripes were one
fourth inflicted she had tainted from pain and
loss of blood, and shortly after hewas apprized
that the sufferngs of the poor wretch were ter
minated. She was dead With an excess of
inhumanity which is almost incredible, the
monster ordered the remainder of the stripes
to be inflicted upon the corpse, and finally left
the spot, forbiddng the removal of the remains

The Memory of the Dead-Itis an exquisite
and beautiful thing in our nature, that when
the heart is touched and softened by some
tranquil happiness or affeetionate feeling, the
memory of the dead comes over it most power.
fully and irresistabIy. 1t would seem almost
as though our better thoughts and sympathies
were charms, in virtue of which the soul is
enabled to hold some vague and mysterious
intercourse with the spirits of those whom we
loved in lfe., Alas! how often and how long
may those patient angels hover around US,
watching for the spell which is SO seldom utter.

A Remarkable Feat.-A Paris correspondent
of the Cincinnati Atlas, noticing the recent fes-
tival in honor of Napoleon, says that among
other performances "a Madame sechi, 75years
old, walked up arope 600 feet long, and eeva-
ted at its middle by wooden tressel 100 feet
high. The ascent as well as the descent
on the other side Of the tressel, were equal, and
seemed to be at about an angle of 35 degrees.
She not only ascended and descended with ease
even with agility, but performed various feats
on the rope which frightened all the beholders.
She would fall down on the rope suddenly,
stretch out on her back, and then, with the
arms extended, rise to her feet again. This
was done several times, at a distance Of rs feet
above the ground. She continued to shout
with her shriIl old voice, 'Vive IEmpereurr
the whole time, and seemed to mock the fears.
of the spectators. The Emperor was sitting
in his carriage in the midst Of the crowd, watt
ing to compliment her when she descended
This is the same woman who walked small
rope suspended between the high towers of
Notre Dame, in the presence of the first En-
peror and Josephine, nearly fifty years ago"

Discovery in The Manufacture. Of Iron-- A
gentleman named Finch, in Pitisburg, has dis
covered, it is alleged, a mode of pudding iron,
by which the common gray Allegheny iron is
made equal to the best Juniata. Major Wade,
of the Fort Pitt Iron Works, who tested it,
says the strength of the iron, when pulled in
the direction Of its length, is sixty thousand
nine hundred pounds per square inch; and .Mr
Finch is confident he can make an advance on
this, of four thousand pounds to the square
inch. His process as is attested by persons
acquainted with the business, is applicable to
all kinds of iron, with the same advance in
strengthening that metal entirely safe and
fully strong enough for all purposes for which
it is needed. The process, it is said, is equally
successful in increasing the strength Of east
iron. The discovery is an interesting and i'm
portant one to iron manufacturers.

A Sick Slare.-Some time last spring,
slave named Page, owned by Mr.. Clarkson, of
Charestown. Virginia, was allowed to go on q

masters confidence in his fidelity, put for Cana

letter from him, dated at Detroit, in which he
complains that he can't find his family, and the
people don't suit his taste; he's SICK Of liberty
and starvation. He says people there think
more of cent than he did, when in Virginia,
Of dollar. He is anxious to return TO Kama
villa, but bis money is gone; he asks hsmaster
to send him money, Mr.. CIarkson will do SO,

Perpetual Thirst-Some yerrs ago We gave
a detailed account of the condition and appear
ance of man who was then supposed to be
the greatest drinker among men in America, if
not on the globe Hei syet living, in excellent
health, at the age of 58 years, and still remains
in state of perpetual thirst. The individual
al!uded to, is Mr. James Webb Of Fairhayen,
Massachusetts. Under every aspect in which
the case may be examined, it is remarkable, and
perhaps unparalleled in the annals of physiolo-
gy. In early infancy, the quantity of waterehe
consumed was so large as to astonish those
who witnessed it. A Development in size and
weight of the body required a corresponding
increase in the quantity of his aquatic potations.
Under ordinary circumstances, three gallons
of water is rather short daily allowance for
him, and it would be impossible, it seems, for
him TO live through night with less than
pailful. With this immense amount of cold
water into the stomach, Mr.. Webb has been in
good health and spirits. We leave the state
ment of these curious facts, unembarrassed by
comment. and simply ask of learned editorial
friends the probably cause of this unsatisfied
thirst.-Bostoa Medical and Surgical Journal
