THAr PouaHKEEPsIs GIRL The Buffalo
Commercial Advertiser, one OF the editors of
which is medicine man, says Of the girl at
Poughkeepsie, who fell into trance at q
revival meeting, and saw great many things
which astonished the natives:
"Every physician of airy experience has
seen twenty such cases as this. The disease
is well known As hysterical coma. The
talking paroxysms are more frequent and far
less remarkable than the half-ca eleptic con-
dition which previous accounts have mea-
toned. In fact, there is nothing remarkable
at all about the case, except the fuss made
over it. A little narshness. few buckets Of
cold water, for inst anee, would be far more
likely to put an end to the trance than the
constant inducements held out to her TO stay
in it. That she has never been nervous be
fore is about Us wonderful az that person
should have the itch for the first time.

A REVIVAL INCIDENT Last saturday, at
the Meeting at Buttons Iheater. Henry " ard
Beecher made the sweeping assertion that
all present were sinners. ssNot so," said q
Methodist brother who suddenly jumped from
HE seat in very exciting manner, "Not so.
for have been sanctifed.' "Glory to God
in the highest" shouted Beecher at the top
of his voice, You ought to have been in
Heaven long ago, you're not fit to live IN this
world."--Nev York Day Book.
After copying the above, the Davenport
Gazette Whose editor spent some days re-
Gently in New York; makes the following
sensible remarks:
The above is very fair example of the
manner in which the ssprayer'' meetings a,
Burton's old Theater in New York were
religious gatherings as scenes to inspire de.
votional feelings had their conceptions Of
the solemnity Of such things considerably
shocked by the light and trifing manner
which seemed to characterize those who
participated in these meetings. Especially
was this the case when Bsecher presided,
whose manner of speaking is very theatrical
and little calculated to arouse holy and rev.
erential emotions in the mind. His appeals
are to the sensibilities, and not to the reason
Of his audience, while his aim is to impress.
them with the idea that he is Henry Ward
Beecher, the eccentric divine. The opinion
thus given of the great revival meeting il
New York may appear to some, who have
read the newspaper reports of the same, and
others with unsophisticated reliance upor
everything 'sour church" does, as partakine
of the profane, but the simple fact that thu
removal of this s'prayer" meeting from
Burton's Theater, which alone gave it pres
tige, destroyed it's interest altogether, 10 I
eonvinc ng proof of the correctness Of oul
opinion. That it was productive of SOM
good we admit, but aside from the influence
It sxerted abroad, solely through the sec1la
press, we believe it will result in evil.

MusoArlNR AND OsKALoosA RAILROAD
The Washington Press thinks that on account
of the delay that will necessarily result in
getting ready to commence work again on
xhis road, many of the contractors residing
in the East. it will not be completed 10 that
place till the middle Of August. The limit
allowed the Company to have it in operation
to Washington u the first of September.
The Oskaloosa Herald thus speaks of the
prospects, of q speedy extension Of the road
to that place:
In regard to the prospects of the early
completion Of = railroad to this city, we think
they have never been more promising than at
present. Heretofore the great dravback on
our road to Mnscaline has been the indiffer
encs and inaction "t the people of Washing
ton county. But now they have moved 90
nnitedly in The matter, we need expect nc
further delay from tina cause. Mr.. Farnam
assured US, when in this city few weeks

His teacher having taken him under his care,
determined to spare no palms, and gave him
every opportunity for improvement.
Years passed away, James is no longer boy,
but man. He has entered college, and is now
surrounded by all the temptations of college life
However, with but few exceptions, he passed
through all unframed.
He had long wished to become a minister of
the Gospel, and his wish being made known to
his old friend the teacher of his school, he re-
ceiyed his assistance from some other friends,
and entered upon course of study in Theo-
logical Seminary. He finished his studies, and
has now been minister for several years, and
has been settled over the church which he at
tended when boy"
Seeing the children much Interested in his
narrative, he asked, "Would you like to know
who that boy was ?" They answered, eyes

Industrious, you may all of you become useful

It now being time for breaking up, we took

the gentleman said Many discourage their
children by making them think that their is no
need of trying to be any thing more than COM

The Tanning of Wild Horses.

A communication to the New York Evening
Post, on the subject of tanning wild horses,
reads as follows: We are perpetualy hearing a
great deal about the tanning of wild horses, but
it has only been in your paper of this evening
that have read any thing definite on the SUBJ
ject; and it somewhat agrees with the method
which, many years ago, Mr.. Weber informed
me he had seen practiced by Indians on one of
the prairies in the far West. The plan was
this: A circular inclosure or stookade was
formed of the stems of trees, driven firmly into
the ground, leaving door sufficiently large for
horse to enter A number of Indians then
by degrees, formed themselves into wide circle,
surrounding one of the finest horses, and lessen
ing their area, got the horse nearer and nearer
to the stockade, until at last they completely
hemmed him in towards the door. which, by
dint of shouting, he entered The door was
instantly closed and was left for time Then,
one of the tallest of the Indians, who had pc
culiarly large, piercing eyes, entered, and the
door was instantly shut. With his back to the
door, he stood immovable for a long time, his
eyes fixed on those of the animal, having his
spread hands close to his thighs. By degrees
he began to slide one foot forward, but so slowly
as not to be seen by the horse, who stood STILL
staring at the man. The other foot was then
as slowly slid an inch in advance OF the other.
After long interval he had thus approached
the animals head, still keeping his eyes fixed
on those Of the horse When close up he be-
gan to slide one of his hands upwards to his
breast, then the other was as slowly brought
up. In the twinkling Of an eye, having inhaled
large breath, he clapped his hands on the
horses eyes, breathing hard into his nostrils.-
The two things were done quick as lightning
but what with the power Of the human eye,
which no animal can long encounter, and the
effect of the human BREATH the horse became as
! quiet as COW.
| If, during the process Of raising his hands
upwards from the thighs, the animal started,
which was sometimes the case, the whole pro-
cess had to be recommended. Mr.. Weber told
me he had repeatedly seen it practised on the
prairies, and said it never failed. Whether this
is the mode of the Irish blacksmith many years
ago, or of Mr.. Rarey at present, speak ye VINO
best can tell. 8 Il Ags agA2A $40 II. d.
