A SINGULAR CAsE.-Officer Furniss reports that colored man named Martin as brought to Mir. William Bells embalming depot, on Carondolet street, on the I4th inst, for the purpose Of being embalmed. On an incision being made OF the left arm on the brachial artery, the man showed symptoms of life. At l2 o'clock, M., life was completely restored, and now, two days afterwards. he is doing we'll and pursuing his usual occupation.
 This singular and we'll authenticated case of resuscitation calls to mind the circumstance of man who was tried, convicted and hung in 1889. in the town of Plaquemine, parish of Iberville VI hen the doomed man was pro- nounced dead; by the attending surgeon, the body was taken from the scaffold and handed over to some men for burial, but on the way to the graveyard rain caused the men to seek shelter, and depositing the rough coffin containing the supposed dead man on the gallery, they went into the house for the pur pose of taking drink while doing this the dead man recovered, burst open the coffin. weRt into the coffee house near by, took q drink, and skedaddied-to Mexico. In l846, we saw this same man at Los Somitas, where he was recognized by quite number of his former fellow townsmen, who, with us, belong ed to company commanded by Capt. G. s. Rosseau, at that time the Sheriff or Iberville. the parish where this man had been hang seven years before.-N. Q. Picayu1se.

 The enemy had reached Fishers dill, and have doubtless fled beyond. Their defeat was thor ough. The inevitable darkness has prevented
 the cavalry and the army from making far ther pursuit, which would, to use vulgarism, have effectually shut up Early and his men for the season.
 We thus occupy Strasburg tonight with cav airy and division of infantry. The main ar my is encanped in precisely the same position which it occupied during tho morning.. Its camp-fres, as I~write, gleam brightly in the darkness miles around, and the men, ere they lie down to sleep, are cheering over the news from our cavalry at Strasburg.
 The scene at General Sheridan's head-quar- ters tonight has been wildly exciting. Scores of officers are here. talking the battle over. General Custer arryel abopts, 9 o'clock. The first thing he did was to hug General Sheridan with all his might, lifting him in the airJ him around and around, with the shcut: By MI, we've cleaned them out and got the guns! Catching sight of General Torbert, Custe, went through the same pro- ceeding witt him, until Torbert was forced to cry out: There, there, old fellow; don't capture me 'f@FH 'FSFe&s &s
 Both Generals Sheridan. and Custer must pardon me for making such literal use of cer- tain expressions used by them which serves to illustrate in its true character the earnestness and excitement ot the day. Let it be said, too, oaths in this battle meant something, and were therefore not in vain.

P EARTHQUAKE IN MExIco.--The latest intel lig,ltee from Mexico informs us of sudden and disastrous earthquake which devastated the country within radius of several leagues from the Peak of Orizaba A number ol French soldiers and many citizens fell victims to this sudden revolution of the earth. A correspondent sends full details of the awful catastrophe, collated from the latest Mexican journals. This earthquake was very sudden one, and, considering the extent of it's ravages, has been disastrous Mexico is in every re- spect volcanic country, and it may be that this frightful eruption is but the precursor of other and still more fearful convulsions of the elements of destruction, which have slept in the bosom of the mountains for hundreds of years, long before Cortez and his followers came into the land. The full details of this calamity will, doubtless, be of absorbing in- terest to the learned of the world.
 The Emperor Maxinian is reported to have made a very successful tour through the interior of the States, where, according to all accounts, he has been we'll received. But we do not yet hea: of the dispersion of the libe- ral armies. nor of the flight of President Jua- reg. These are things t, be accomplished, and meanwhile the Mexican republic still lives, and the chances of the enplre are scarcely growing more secure.

The Sympathizing Woman.

If we were called upon to describe Mrs Dobbs. we should. without hesitation, call hel d symPathzng woman. Nobody was troub- led with any malady she hadn't suffered. She knew all about it by experience, aad coulc sympathize with them from the bottom of her heart.
 Rob Turner was wag, and when one day he saw Mrs. Dobbs coming along tie road toward his house, he knew that ill the absence of his wife, he should be called upon to enter tain her. so he resolved to play little on the good woman's abundant store of sympathy
 Hastily procuring d large blanket, he rolled h msrll up in It, and threw himself on d sui; near by.

 There have been times, Mr. Turner, said the sympaI hzing woman, when tho't should have gone distracted with the toothache.
 Then, said Bob, who having temporarily ran out of his stock of pedical terms, resorted to a scientific name, I'm very much afraid I've got the tethyasaurus. -a ~sa- .-.

 Oh, MT. Turner, is it possible! exclaimed the lady. It's horrible l know it is! ire quently have spells of being out of my head myself!
 Bob could stand it TO longer he burst into roar of laughter, which Mrs. Dobbs taking for the precursor of violent paroxysm of in- sanity, she was led to take hurried leave.
