Astonishing Power of Memory.

There is man living i'll Morrow County, named
Daniel M'Cartney, whose power OF memory are
truly astonishing. He has been totally blind from
BIRTH and is forced to acquire everything through
the sense of hearing, which is very acute. After
hearing voice once, he never forgets it, and can
recognize individual after years of absence, by
hearing them utter naturally single word He
remembers, and can give an accurate DESCRIPTION
of the state of the weather each successive days
together with every visible eclipse, either of the sun
or moon for the last twenty-five years, or since the
tenth year of his age. He can tell with indisputa-
bic accuracy the day of the week of any given day
of the month"; during that period; and tell where
he was, and in what he engaged. He has
distinct recollection of every article of food he has
eaten at every meal for the same space of time;-
and in addition to these apparently impossible
mental accomplishments, he can unaded by any
written record, quote every text from which he has
ever heard a sermon preached. together with the
name ofthe speaker and place! He can also cal
culate the number Of minutes or seconds in any
given period. without masking any other than q
mental use OF figures, much sooner than the most
ready mathematician can by the usual method of
computation. His knowledge Of sacred and eccle-
SlaStical history is most surprising. BY simply hear
ing Others sing, he has memorized and can sing
rectly some 200 church hymns. In short, his mem"
an audible leading OF an article, rehersal cf
event, 10 enable him to rival either the reader or
speaker in communicating the subject matter TO
third person at any subsequent period.
The above facts are only samples of the powers
of this remarkable person, which be attested
by hundreds of pe rsons who have put him 10 the
test in different ways. He lives in Cardngton,
Morrow County, Ohio, small village on the q. q.
d G. Railroad. Should any of readers be in
creduiouS in regard 10 these facts, they can test
them either by letter or by calling upon him, free
OF charge.-C|n. Com.

FATAL ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY.-We learn from
source entitled to confidence, that on Friday night
of a Mr.. Nissley, residing near Elizabethtown,
Lancaster county. On that day the chimney Of
his house was swept by two chimney sweeps
While they were present, man came 10 MIR. Mss
ley's and paid him several hundred dollars In
the night Mr.. NiSsley was awakened by the falling
of a stove pipe in lower room of the house, aud
on going down, heard, as he thought, noise in
the chimney. Taking gun, he went to the Chin
ney and called out several times to the person OF
persons there to come down, or he would shoot
them. Not coming down, he fired his gun at ran
dom, when down fell negro MORALLY wounded.
Mr.. Nissley sent Immediately for physician, but
before he arrived the negro was dead. He was
found TO be one of the sweeps who had been there
during the day, and was armed with loaded pis-
toll, large butcher knife. and a Ratchet, both
newly sharpened.--Hdrrisbugh Telegraph.

Hon. s. Clemens.

We publish to-day the "lam.nt" OF our repre-
sentative. He is truly i'll rather sorrowful con-
dition and now begins to feel the sad effects uf
youthful indScretion.' Had he never written
t'that bOOk' he might have been in much more
comfortable condition, but we suppose that like
the resolutions of 9S and '99, the Blacksvlle res
outIon must, for all time, constitute the text book
OF the Democracy of this Congressional District.
We certainly agree with Mr.. CLEMENS in the sup
position that the adoption OF that rule an
Findscreet' step whether not it will prove ''fa-
tap will depend upon the action of the next con-
vention. Whether this covenant of preiudiceS''
will prejudice its author we cannot determine,
though we fear it will have good effect upon his
political Prospects and will most likely enable him
to repose'' in the judgment of his constituents for
four years at least and ''to open TO utter
cluSlOn upon the representative at the very time
when, after matured experience in Congress, he
was best fitted to serve you'-(vather difficult Ian
guage TO understand). But seriously Speaking,we
agree with Mr.. CLEMENS as to the Improperly of
any such rule, and "rotation in territory
most unfortunate expression in that resolution, but
thlSiS for the Democracy to decide. The true
principle which we would advocate in any party
IS to select the best man and to keep him long
as he would serve. Mr. G. has hardly had taste
of political life and he should not be thus summa-
rily disposed of after a three months service. We
further agree with him that the river counties are
entitled to the representation for four years and
not merely to the candidate Indeed under the let
ter and spirit of the Blacksmith resolution the rv
er counties entitled to the representation for
four years more. Mr.. Brown and Col. Raymond
represented the mountain counties for six Yeas
Judge Thompson and Mr.. G. have represented the
river counties two years only, one will pre-
sumo to say that Judge T. represented them the
two years Col. Raymond was in Congress. "Rep-
resentation," and not candidacy, is the test pro-
vided by the Blacksmith rule and under that test
the river counties entitled the representation
for four years mtre- Mr. c. has had opportu-
nifty during the crowded session of Congress to do
himself justice in that body and though we do not
pretend to admire his political course yet we think
he should have fair trial and full opportunity for
displaying the very credtable abilities with which
nature has favored him.
