his residence in Turkey, owed his life to this
simple and efficacious treatment. DR.. Graves,
from whom this anccdote is quoted, also re-
ports the case Of a gentleman thirty years
Of age, who, from long continued sleepiness,
was reduced to complete living skeleton,
unable to stand on his legs. II was partly
owing to disease, but chiefly to abuse of
opium, until at last, unable to pursue his
business, he sank into abject poverty and
woe. DR.. Reid mentions friend Of his, who,
whenever anything occurred to distress him,
soon became drowsy and fell asleep. A
; Student at Edinburg, upon hearing suddenly
Of the unexpected death Of near relative,
threw himself on his bed, and almost in
simultaneously, amid the glare Of MONDAY,
sunk into profound slumber. Another per
son, reading to one Of his dearest friends
stretched on his death-bcd, fell asleep, and
with the book still in his hand went on read
ing, utterly unconscious of what he was do

Another is recorded to have slept once four

Schofield authorized Col. James H. Moss, f
Liberty, Clay Co., notorious Copperhead,

Platte and Clinton counties. He is doing

NEvADA.-A great city is springing up in
Nevada Territory, called Virginia. 1t al

although it is but two or three years old. 1t
is located in the heart Of wonderfully pro-
ductivc gold and silver region. The territory
Of Nevada is filling up with population with
unparalleled rapidity. Steps have been ia
ken to ask for admission into the Union as
State. An election was held on the 9th inst
Tor members 10 form State Constitution,
and on the question also of organizing State
Government The Copperheads were over
whelm;ngly defeatcd-the Republicans car
rying nearly every county.
THERE is considerable excitement lust now
in business circles connected with the Lake
Superior trade, in consequence of the dis
coyery Of an immense deposit Of silver bear
ing lead in that famous region. Marquette
county is the fortunate locality Of this new
discovery. 1t is stated that the ore yields
twenty per cent. of pure lead, and that every
ton of lead yields twenty five pounds of sill
yer, worth $500, besides the value of the
lead. Operations well ere long be commcnc-
ed for removing the deposits"
