TIE EFFEcTs or FEAR.-The Vienna CORES.
pondent Of the New York Morning Post relate.

The EFFEcTs or FEAR.-The Vienna corres-
pcndent Of the New York Morning Post relates
the following
The extraordinary power exerted by fear over
the human mind was exhibited in Vienna in a
remarkable manner, few days ago. DR.. F.,
N eminent physician of Vienna, obtained leave
from the local authorities to try his experiment
upon the person Of q prisoner who had been
condemned to DEATH Accordingly an offer was
made to the individual in question, holding out
the promise of remission Of his punishment, if
ne would consent to pass the night in the bed of
apatient who four hours previously had been
carried off by cholera. The prisoner consented
and was put to bed, and after the expiration of
some three hours, or less, he was seized With
violent vomiting and the attendant syptoms of
cholera. He was attended Immediately by sew
eral physicians, and ultimately, being . man Of
strong and vigorous constitution, was COM
pletely reestablished. His astonishment was
great when DR.. F. informed him that the bed
was peafectly clean and pure, and that no chol-
era patient had ever lain there.

Three yards. II is IN annual III France, but
IS believed that in the southern Untcd
states its roots would survive The winter and
t"nd up new shoots in the spring.
The luIcc which is contained in the stalk
of the plant furnishes sugar. alcohol and \
t.rmented drink analogous to cider. Th.
proportion OF sugar contained in The Juice is
from ten to sixteen per cent, and about one
third part is nncrv>talizabie. Although in
northern climate this last property would

may be produced from it. In a southern eli
