Some weeks since the residence of the
keeper of the toll gate on the Radnor Plank
Road was burglariously entered, and a pock-
et-book containing some thirty odd dollars
stolen. Three dollars of the money belong
ed to the gate keeper, Mrs. DAVIS, a wild
ow. who lamented her loss very much, es-
pecially the pocket-book, which had been
a gift from her deceased husband. This
fact probably come to the knowledge of the
thief, and u few days after the robbery the
pocket-book was mysteriously returned with
one of the stolen five dollar bills enclosed.

St. Martin, since he was wounded, has
married. and become the father of seven
teen children, five Of whom with his wife,
are now living. At first, the only way
by which his food, after entering the msopha-
gus could be prevented from passing out
through the wound was to use congresses
and adhesive straps. The necessity has since
becn overcome by the growth Of a small fold
OF the coats of the stomach, which now ex-
tends almost over the orifco, but can readily
be reprcssed with the finger so as to allow an
examination Of the interior Of the stomach,
when 1t is empty, to the depth Of five or six
inches. St. Martin is Of medium height.
dark complexion, peculiar glittoring gray
eye, and is remarkable for his wiry toughness
of constitution.
The medical Society were much interested
in the experiment, and they passed resolu-
uon Of cordial thanks to Dr. Bunting for af-
fording them this opportunity of personally
witnessing this singular and interesting case
and for important facts which hc so freely
furnished them also to Col Colt for the
lively interest he had taken in securing the
presence of St. Martin in Hartford, in order
that the Professors here might have the BEN
eft of witnessing and testing important facts

Seth because | know he's honest"
The widow was glad, for it was time for
him to be earning something and she thought
it would be quite a hit in the world to have
him 60 in with Mr. Train and she knew that
he would suit Mr.. Train, for Seth did we'll
wherever he was.
When Seth came home from school, he was
almost as much pleased with his good fortune
as his mother was Neither mother nor son
know any thing about Mr.. Trains store it
was in the lower part of the town, but his
family lived near the widows, in fine style
Seth was to 60 the next Monday morning,
and at the time he was punctual at his new
post
The week passed away When he came
home to dinner or supper, his mother asked
him how he liked it. At first he said pretty
we'll and then he didn't exactly know, then
not very we'll and on Saturday he told his
mother plumply that he didn't like it at all,
and wasn't going TO stay.
"Well Seth said his mother grieved and
mortified at the change, "are you so difficult
to suit as all this comes to ; Do you know
how important it is to stick TO your business !,
What will Mr. Train say e.
"Mother ' answered the boy, "tho shop is
a grog-shop, and ! cannot stay thcre;'
The mothcrs mouth was stopped indeed,
after that she has no wish to have him remain;
but she was very sorry the case was so.
When Mr.. Train paid the boy on Saturday
night Seth told him he could not stay.
The shopkeeper was surprised.
GLOW is this said he haven't done

Yes sir answered the boy; | never ex-
pect to find kinder master"
"Do you find fault with the pay p
