visit to Mount Vernon on Saturday, which
is now two or three miles beyond the Federal

A Surgeons Adventure.

/ A singular romance connected with the
history Of crime, is here. There are 4 few
we'll authenticated instances of criminals
who have been restored 10 consciousness
after having suffered at the hauds Of the
haogman.
In Paris, in 1875, young girl Of very
prerossessing appearance, from one of the
interior provinces Of France, was placed in
the service of man depraved BY all the
vices Of tha, corrupt metropolis. Smitten
with her charms, be attempted her ruin,
but was unsuccessful. Iucensed at his
defeat, be determined on revenge, aud 10
furtberance of his design secretly placed in
her trunk articles belonging to him and
marked with his name. He then deuoun-
ced her to magistrate, who caused her to
be arrested, aud, the missing articles being
found in her possession, she was brought
to trial. ln defence, she could only assert
her ignorance Of the manner in which the
property came into her trunk, and protest
her innocence. She was found guilty, and
the seDtence Of death was pronouced upon
her. The hangmaD's office was ineffi-
ciently performed, it being the first at
tempt of the execu.ioner's son. The body
was delivered into the hand. of surgeon.
BY whom it bad been purchased He i'm
medlstely conveyed it home, and was pre-
ceeding to dissect it, when be perceived
slight warmth about the heart By
prompt use of proper remedies, he restored
the suspended animation. Ia the mean
time, be had sent for trustworthy priest,
and when the unfortunate girl opened her
eyes, she supposed herself in another
world, aud addressing the priest (who was
. man Of marked countenaucc) exclaimed:
"Eterual Father. you know my innocence;
have pity on me" 10 her simplicity,
believing she beheld her Maker, she con
tinued to sue FOR mercy, and it was some
time before she realized she was iu the
land Of the living. The surgeon and
priest being fully convinced Of her inno-
ceuse, she retired 10 village far distant
from the scene of her punishment The
community subsequently became acquaiD-
ted With her story, aud the author Of her
misery became an object of contempt,
though i, does not appear that any attempt
was made to bring him to justice.

A story is told upon Hayuer, the emf
neut physician here He was called in, six
weeks ago, to attend a sick child. The
child-of wealthy parcn,s-recovered its
health. A few days after Rayuer had dis
continued his visits, tue mother Of the lit

said:

Hereafter, ten cents postage is to be pre-

Camping out in a SNOW Storm.

DR.. Harold II. Pope was on his way to
see a patient in Verona, early on Thursday
evening, aud was overtaken by a storm in
all its fury. Owing to the drifted roads
at some points, the path had been moved
to the adjoining fields. All traces Of the
track we're, however, soon obliterated, and
nothing could be seen-at times, not even
the horses head. The Doctor could not
fad bis way out Of one Of these fields, and
his horse finally became so completely
confused tia, be refused to bulge an inch
in any direction. Here was dilemms,
but Dr. Pope was equal to the emergency.
Instead of wasting bis vital energies in
useless attempts to extricate himself, be
prepared to camp for the night, on the
spot, 10 the following manner. He Olsen
gagged The horse from the cutter, and took
off his harness be then took one Of the
two buffalo robes be had with him, and
put it on his horse, and then replaced the
harness, buckeled it on, and made it al
safe He then tied the horse fast to tree
The Doctor then turned bis cutter up side
way, so as to make a barricade against the
storm, and, wrapping himself up in the re-
naming robe, lay down under the protec-
tion Of the cutter, aud SO spent the night.
We learn that the Doctor suffered some
damage in his feet from the frost, but
when the morning .uu dispelled the storm,
aud he discovered his bearings, be hitched
his faithful steed once more to the cutter,
and made the visit to his patient as if moth
ing had happened. Presence Of mind,
and great power Of endurance, saved our
medical friend from great suffering, and,
perhaps, from death.-Roman (N. "
