BABES IN THE WooD. "A correspondent Of
the Concord On. h Congrega' 'ional Journal,
writing from Stewertstown, n. H., states that
on the 26th Of October. John Brown, Jr. l3
years old, accompanied by William Brown, a
lad Of years, were sent into the woods at
Hartford. Canada, by the father Of the first
lad who had just removed thither from Cole
brook, n. H., to gather q basket of moss with
which to stop the crevces between the logs of
their new house. Until morning the parents
passed the night in unavsllIng search.
Next day from 80 to 100 men from the
neighborng towns roamed the woods until
night, with no better success. Two cold
nights had passed. and no tidings of the lost
ones had reached the anxious parents. Thurs
day morning an increased number resumed
the seorch. and continued it during the day
with no better success. Friday and Saturday
were spentIn the same manner. On Sunday
fresh start was taken, which resulted in the
discovery of the children.
The elder lad, on discovering their ap-
prOach, started up from the side of the other,
aud made an attempt to run. On being told
to stop, for they could catch him, he obeyed,
saying, "don't hurt me, have been in the
woods al night" The younger WINS sleeping
at the root of small tree, with one arm
around it. where he had lain until by wriggling
motions, occasioned probably by chilly and
uneasy sensations, he had itnbedded himself
some inches deep in the loose soil His arm
was stiff and cold, and it vas with difficulty
and caution that it could be straightened so
as to unloose its hold. The hand was black,
and SO were their feet; and the latter so
swelled. that the boots had to be cut before
they could be stripped off.
The boys were found only about two and
half miles from the house Of Mr. Brown.
1t appears that after filling their baskets
with moss, they went ''a cumming. and got
lost. They seemed not to be aware that they
had been out more than one night, and we're
probably partially deranged after the first
night. They had eaten nothing during the
whole five days.

the largest mercantile houses in Quebec, took
passage in a schooner for Bale st. Paul; on
visit to his relations. He carried with him
good stock of wearing apparel, and the check
for the amount Of his wages, considerable
sum. On the voyage he fell sick, and appar-
emily died, or, what is more probable, became
insensible, from some narcotic administered to
hun. The captain of the schooner, having
taken possession of his clothing and money,
sent two of the crew ashore to bury the dead
passenger. They dug the grave, threw him
in, and had begun to cover up the body, when
the dead man, contrary to all law in such ca.
ses made and provided, suddenly sat bolt up.

The amateur sections took to their heels

plshed. The corpse vindicated his vitality by
cries which brought the assistance of gentle
man fishing in the neighborhood, ,and the half
buried victim was released from the grave,
well cared for, and, as soon as lit to travel,
forwarded home. In the meantime, the "false
sea captain" proceeded on his voyage. Ar
irving at St. Paul, he told of the death of his
passenger, and his burial, and delivered to his
friends portion of his worst clothing, re.
tanning the best and the check for his wages.

money be denied it. Proceeding thence to

asssiling party by this time found that he
had caught Tartar, and that he was likely
to become the captured party himself. This
apprehension was rendered nearly certainty
by the capsizing of the boat Just as his bear
ship had nearly accomplished loading himself
into it. The man now, thoroughly fright
