child, when he noticed slight quivering of
the eyelids. He at once impaired the fact and
his misgivings to the parents; they put no
faith in them. The old man, however, not sat
ished, called upon the medical attendant. He
also observed the tremulousness of the eyelid
and placing a stethescope over the heart, heard
its pulsations, feebly, but nevertheless distinct
he then watched the chest; it could be seen
moving, but SO gentle as to be almost imper-
ceptbe. She was now removed to a warmer
room, frictions and warmth were applied to her
person, and in about two hours she spoke.
She told her friends that she had heard all that
they had said she knew that her body was
being prepared for interment; she heard the
toiling of the passing bell, saw and felt her
grandfather's agony, but could make no sign
At p NJ on the following day, she re-
lapsed into the same cataleptlc state and re-
NAMED in it six hours. She took no food and
requested that none might be given, as she
meant to take her next meal in heaven. For
a whole week she took no food, but lay per-
fectly quiet with eyelids closed and her jaws
clenched. She was coaxed and threatened,
but all to no purpose. The doctor then gag
ged her, and, forcing tube down her throat,
poured liquid food into her stomach. AT this
she commenced moaning and continued it
night and day for ten days or more. This was

food administered in another and less agreea-
bic manner. On the second trial of this method
she, by signs, begged its discontinuance, and
seemingly offered to take food by the mouth.
But when it was offered she again refused.
Food was now placed within her reach, and an
opportunity being given to steal it, it was found
to disappear every night She was watched,
and it was found that about one O'Clock each
night she would raise herself in bed, look care
fully around to see if she was watched, step
nimbly to the closet, and examine the food,
taking mouthful at the time, and conveying
the remainder to bed with her. During all
this time, she would remain apparently dead

scarcely perceptible respiration. The girl still
continued in this condition at the latest reports

Mexican Affairs.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Letters from the
Juarez constitutional government just received
here allude with great satisfaction to the favor
with which the decree for the naturalization
Of the church property is everywhere re -eiyed,
even in the city of Mexico, and especially is
the visit Of Capt. Adham, commander of her
Majesty's naval forces, to the President, men,
toned with qualification, as on that occasion he
took pleasure in announcing that, by order of
the British Government he would enforce the
measures heretofore contemplated for the re-
dress of complaints, nor do anything to EN-.
barrass the Administration.
Degollado is at San Luis di Poios, and has,
1t is supposed, about nine thousand troops I'M
der his command, preparing to march on the
city OF Mexico. Arms and ammunition are
constantly being received by the Liberals.
Senior Mata who has just returned from
New York, has concluded a contract for mate
rails of war, which will without unnecessary
delay be forwarded to Mexico.
Nc. Whitehead, who was banished from
Mexico, where he resided for many years
will soon return TO England in the behalf of
the British bondholders, and will exert him
self to satisfy all their claims. The church
property being the basis for the transaction,
and by which it is thought some million dol
lars will be raised for the benifit of constitu-
tional government.
1t is not thought Lerdo will make any pecu-
mary engagements in New York, but that he
will merely take preliminary steps to that end
to be submitted to his government for consi-
Iteration. His contemplated visit to President
Buchanan and Secretary Cass with view to
have full and free talk on Mexican affairs
will doubtless have the effect of facilitating the
negotiation of treaty satisfactory to both
countries
Mr.. Otway, the British Minister was at last
accounts, in the City of Mexico The dispatch
for his recall not having been received, there
is such information in this city as justifies the
assertion that the vacancy thus occasioned
will be filled by a successor friendly to the
.JuareZ government

New YORK, Aug. 16.-The researches thus far
by the Croton Water Board to detect the
causes of the unpleasant taste in the water
have been without effect. The story circulat-
ed that 40 dead bodies had been raked up in the
reservoir, is pronounced false. The Tribune at
tributes the deterioration in the water to the
many recent heavy showers, which have
overfiowed the swamps along the river.

afternoon. There were three races the prizes
ranging from 500 to 800. In the Sd race OF
4oared boats, Dan Bryant No. l, won the first
prize of 500.

Sad Accidcnt--Two Persons Drown

On Tuesday last,a small skiE Econtaning three
persons, foundered in the rapids about two
miles above Perrysburg. aud two of the inmates,
young man aged Is, and young lady aged 81
years, were drowned. We are unable TO
lean the names of the persons drowned, but
:he wife of Clark Chapman, their companion,
is their sister, and on fan found in the trunk
which was picked up we found the name Of
Samantha A. Werstever. The circumstances
connected with his sad event. are as follows:
The three persons resided at Napoleon. The
girl wished to go to Toledo to get work,and the
young man was coming down the river to seek
employment among the fishermen. They left
Napoleon on Monday in very small skiif for
such journey, aud reached Otsego Monday
night. Oa Tuesday morning they started down
the river, and when they reached the severest
point in the rapids,at about, 10 o'clock A. NJ,
instead ofkeeping near shore they allowed their
boat to take the center of the current, and in
three plunges it dipped full Of water Mr.. c..
| jumped from the boat and was followed by the
girl and her brother. The boy succeeded in get
ting the boat bottom up, and Mr.. c. placed the
young lady on it, In this condition they strug-
gled to reach the shore. but when within twenty
feet Of land the girl fell from the boat the boy,
exhausted and chilled soon lost his hold upon
the boat, and both were drowned. Mr.. Chap
man, being scarcly able to save himself, could
afford his companions no further assistance. He
held Oh. TO the skiff and cried for help, and was
heard by Mr.. Jenson, who procured boat and
succeeded in rescuing him after he had aoatcd
down about one mile. He was completely ex-
hausted and could have survived but few
nome nts longer. Mr.. G. returned to Napoleon
with the sad news on Tuesday night. The
bodies Of the drowned persons have not yet been
| recovered,
