Remarkable Occurrence.

A circumstance Of somewhat remarkable
character occurred in one of the fourshing-
towns Of the midland counties A clergyman
died, aud his wife and daughters, on the third
day of his decease, recolecting that no like
ness remained, it was agreed, ere the grave
closed over him, that the body should be an
'shrouded, and portrait taken A young La
dy of some professional celebrity was engaged
for the task She with the assistance of the
attendant took off the shroud and placed the
body in the requisite posture. but other du-
ties requiring the artists attention, the sketch
was deferred. till noon. About IL o'clock, at
the foot of the bed, the lady commenced, and
went through with an hours work on this i'm
age of death. At the stage Of the proceed:
ngs, by some unaccountable motion, the head
Of the death-like figure fell ON one side Moth
ing daunted, the artist carefully took the head
to replace it, when 10! the eyes opened, and
staring her full in the face, G the dead, ? nquir-
ed who are your The young professional,
without trepidation took the bandage from the
head, and rubbed his neck He Immediately
saw the shroud and laughed immoderately -
The artist quietly called the family; their JOY
may be imagined, but cannot be described
That evening he who had been bemoaned BY
mother and daughters with agonized tears
gladdened their hearts by taking his accustom
ed place at the tea-table, and at this moment

More Pearls.

Messrs Tiffany g. Co., have still on exhibit
ton the great Jersey Pearls" found some
months ago in brook near Paterson, New
Jersey, together with the smaller but beauti-
full pearls from New Jersey, varying in value
from $50 to $780, The great pearl has been
sold, but the purchaser and the price paid are
not mentioned 1t is stated, however, that in
Europe the pearl would be worth not less than
$4,000 1t is of exquisite lustre, but not so
brilliant as some of the smaller pearls, or its
value would have been almost incalcuable-
1t is pear-sbaped and about the size Of rob
ms egg. Since the discovery of the Jersey
pearls was made public, the Messrs Tiffany
have received number of pearls sent from
Ohio, Massachusetts and other parts of the
country, where people have taken to ransack-
ing the brooks. In some cases pearls of con-
siderable value have been forwarded by per-
sons who found them years ago, and were not
aware that that they were worth anything,
until they saw the published accounts One
of the Jersey pearls, worth $500 was found
eight years ago by its owner, who says be

SANCHO.

Rag The great Snake Den in East Hartford
beats the entire country. 1t is on the edge O.
the old Ritter Quarry, and Mr. Tansom White
who resides in that vicinity, has taken two
hundred and fourteen live snakes from thai
single denl No other snake den in this coun
try has as yet equalled this He took out the
first lot of 90 on the 10th of April, and from
day to day, by removing rocks and digging, be
found additional families or /" balls' of them
for it appears that the snakes, to the number
of seventy or more, wind themselves into a bal
and remain in that condition during the win
ter. Most of the number were black snakes
measuring from three to four and half feet
in length; but among these were three racers,
a long slim snake, with white ring around
the neck, and three little racers, not over
three inches in length; also seven poisonous
adders. r
Mr.. White had large show case full Of
these serpents, all alive, on exhibition here on
election day, they drew together quite large
crowd. A friend suggests that for a month OIL
more, around that snake den, few snakes will
be seen this season, but that the ground moles
will greatly increase. Let the fact be noted.

the fact that West Jersey, especially in Cam

Cape May countless possesses greater and
more varied wealth than most Of the counties
in the Eastern part Of the State. The forests

Animportant improvement has been intro

Harrson's Automatic steam Whistle. It is SC

Locomotive and registered for its route, it will
invaribly give the alarm at every crossing. OF
point where it is desirable to have the whistle
blown. AS this is usually a disputed point
whenever an accident occurs at railway
crossing, and suit brought against the com.

invention is certainly worthy of the especial at.
tention of our railway officials.

used instead and the Bermuda crop is unusually
fine also the reports from Charleston and Norfolk
bids fair for good crop. Asparagus is rather high

Alexander, so widely known as one Of the
ablest of Presbyterian Theologians, and the
father of a singl lirly talented family will sail
for Europe on the LIST of June, in the steamer
Asia. We understand that the voyage is IN
dertaken at the request of his congregation in
New York. They finding his health to be suf
fering, held a meeting, and without consuta
ton with him, determined to bear the expenses
of a visit to Europe, and to request'him to ac-
cept of this delicate testimonial of their esteem
