From, the Mev Orleans Delta of ,S,,m,ov-

ed.-At the section of Povdras street not far from
the market, considerable excitement prevailed yes
terday noon. From what we learned it appears
that young woman taken sick on Tuesday
last, and after much suffering reduced to such
low state that her case was considered hopeless
Some OF the neighbors took turns at sitting up with
the dying woman, hourly expecting her dissolution.
On Friday evening" newly married sister of the
sick woman and young girl acting
Watchers in the griet-cIad chamber, and were sit
ting by the bedside. After giving the sick woman
her medicine, they sat quietly sewing, the sufferer
having apparently gone to sleep. The watchers,
on looking again at the supposed sleeper, became
startled at her deathlike appearance, and examin-
ed her more closely. The body was rapidly grow
ing cold, and the pulse had apparently ceased to
beat. looking-glass was hastily torn from the
wall and placed over the mouth of the PROSTATE
woman, but no breath-stan was visible She was
evidently dead
Ihe watchers left the room to procure assistance.
An elderly neighbor was sent for to "lay out" the
body; and the messenger, meeting the undertaken
already notified, told him of the circumstance He
proceeded to the house, arriving about the same
time with the neighbors, who had been summoned
ana all parties, after discovering the nature of the
fatal disease, and talking over some of the funeral
arrangements, prepared to enter the chamber of
death, in order to perform the last sad offices for
the deceased The young girl went first into the
room for the purpose of making it ready for the
rest to enter. She had no sooner entered where
the body lay, than succession of piercing shreks
struck terror INTO the visitors outside. They rush

the cause of her terror, her shrieks and PROSTATE

behOlder.
The dead woman was sitting up in bed! At
hrst, the entire party fed, screaming, from the
room, but soon collected their senses and returned
Inc dead woman" had resumed her recumbent po-
sluon, ana was so far from being deiunct that she
inquired, in weak voice, the meaning of the
strange scene around her. 1t seems that she had
iallen into short trance-like slumber, seemingly
ike death itself. just the girl entered the room
she had partially awakened, and moved her head
The shrieks of the terrified girl thoroughly awoke
her, and she sat up in bed to learn the cause of the
screams.
Restoratives were Immediately applied, and the
"detunct one" is now in fair way of returning to
healthy existence. The climax of the disorder had
passed.
The GAME OF EUCHRE AND LIFE-AN ARKANSAS
Fathers ADVICE TO HIS oH.-There is a genuine
humor in the idea that Arkansas man finds the
most natural expression, even of parting advice to
his son, In the language of the card table, and the
manner in which the terms of the game of s'eu-
chre' are there fitted to the game Of life is inge-
nious:
"Bob, you are about leaving home for strange
parts. You're going to throw me out of the game
and go 1t alone. The odds are against you, Bob
but remember always that industry and persever-
ance are the winning cards; they the bowers

the bowers to back 'em, else they amt worth
shucks. III luck runs agin you pretty strong don't
cave In and look like sick chicken on a rainy day
but hold your head up and make 'em believe you're
flush OF trumps; they won't play so hard agn
you
"I've lived and travelled around some, Bob, and
I've found out that as folks thought you

JoHN BRowN ExCIrEMENT IN SoUTH CARoL1yA-|
Lynch Lar Threotened.-At Clio, S. c., on the 10th
instant, two men, named Hutchings, were arrested
under circumstances that led the belief that they
were Abolition incendiaries, and that a Vigiant
Committee had been organized to investigate the
matter. Early the next day a large crowd assem-
0led at Bennettsvile, anxousy anticipating the re-
suit. Between ten and eleven o'clock the Commit
tee from Clio, with the suspected parties arrived in
the Court House Square The Court was in ses-
sion. The crowd eagerly passed around to hear the
report, which was to the effect that ample proof
had been elected to convict the accused. Upon
this announcement the widest excitement ensued.
The cry arose-"Hang them-hang them to the
nearest tree! But more moderate counsels finally
prevailed, ard further and fuller examination was
determined upon. Among the papers and cores
pondence of the prisoners were found invoices of
double and single barrel guns, pistols revoIvers,
bowie knives, balls, cartridges, caps, powder shot
&c, to the amount of little over 81, 200 bought
by Hutchings from j. Merrin, agent of the Hartford
FIRE Arms Manufacturing Company, in New York
on the 3Oth of July last. Every item was priced
the sums exteRded, and the column added up; but
there was no receipt at the bottom, or Indication
whether the articles We're paid for by note cash.
The only explanation Hutchngs offers is that he
has son whose occupation is to escort emigrants
from st. Louis (or some other point in Mssouri)
across the Plains to Santa Fe, New Mexico, &C., |
and that the arms and ammunition were intended
for him.
The old man assumes to be as deaf and stoical as
old John Brown, but his son shows great concern
and appears to be in great trepidaton.
Clio is near the spot marked in Marlboro district
In old Browns maps. This is a significant fact.

men employed in the foundry department of the
Navy Yard engaged in uncovering the
immense propeller cast there yesterday for the new
irigate Pensacola, now living at the Norfolk Navy
Yard, to be cOppered. This propeller is made on
an improved plan adopted by Mr.. Sckles, the con-
structor of the machinery for the Pensacola, and

screw propellers. 1t is the largest casting ever
made in the W Washington Navy Yard, containing

this department are engaged in constructing the
mould for casting the chain for the stem post or
bearing of the Pensacola, which of itself is job
OF some magnitude, requiring the use of upwards of
5000 pounds of metal.

tached to the Navy Yards nearly completed, and
is considered By good judges to be the finest ma
chinery belonging to the Government All the
material of the engines is of the best and the work
of superior quality, rejecting great credit upon
those employed in its construction. 1t is under
stood that as soon as the propeller can be com
pleted it will be sent to Norfolk to be put in the
frigate, which will then be towed up to our NAVY
Yard to receive her engines and armament. Thus |
