a Broken Heart.

The interesting case of literally brok
en- heart we subjoin, was related by Or
j. r. Mitchell, of the Jefferson College
Phladelphia to his. class last winter
while lecturiug upon the diseases Of the
heart. 1t will be seen, on perusing it.
that that expression, 'broken hearted .
is not merely 6gurative.
In one part of his medical career, DR.
NJ, accompanied packet that sailed
between Liverpool and one of our South
ern ports. On the return voyage, soon
after leaving Liverpool, while the doctor
and the captain Of the vessel, weather
beaten son of Neptune, but possessed of
uncommonly fine feelings and strong im-
pulses, were conyersing in the latter's
state room, the captain opened a large
chest and carefully took out number
of articles of various descriptions which
he arranged upon table. Dr. NJ, sur
prised at the array of costly jewels, orna-
ments, dresses, and all the varied para
pharnalia of which ladies are naturally
fond, inquired Of the captain his object
in having made SO many valuable pur-
chases. The sailor, in reply, said that
for seven or eight years he had been de-
votedly attached to lady to whom he
had several times made proposals of mar
riage, but was as often rejected but her
refusal to wed him, however, had only
stimulated his love to greater exertion
and that, finally, upon renewing his offer,
declaring in the ardency of his passion
that without her society life was not
worth having, she consented to become
his bride upon his return from his next
voyage. He was so overjoyed in the pros
pect of marriage, from which, in the
warmth of his feelings, he probably anti
cipated more happiness than is usually
allotted to mortals, that he spent all his
ready money while in London, for bridal
gifts. After gazing at them fondly for
some time, and remarking on them in turn,

them to his afhanced bride. On reaching
his destination, the captain arrayed him.
self with more than usual precision, and
disembarked as soon as possible, to has
ten to his love. As he was about to step
into the carriage awaiting him, he Was
called aside by two gentlemen who desi-
red to make communication, the pur-
port of which was that the lady had pro
we'd unfaithful to the trust reposed in
her, and had married another, with whom
she had decamped short time before
Instantly the captain was observed to
clap his hand to his breast, and fall heavily
to the ground. He was taken up and
conveyed to his room on the vessel Dr.
NJ. was Immediately summoned; but be-
fore he reached the poor captain, he was
dead. A post mortem examination revea-
led the cause of his unfortunate disease.
His heart was found literally torn in
twain The tremendous propulsion of
the blood, consequent upon such viol-
ent nervous shock, forced the powerful
muscular tissues asunder, and life was at
an end The heart was broken.

A Novel Funeral Address.

The Springfield Republicans cores
pondept is responsible for the following.
Last week, in village hard by, where
ministers are not SO plenty as in larger
places, Squire F., justice OF the
peace, man Of good common sense anu
sterling integrity, remarkable for blunt
ness rather that blandness OF manner and
whose literary attainments extended to
to the writing Of his name, was called In
by colored family to make few re-
marks at the funeral of their son, in the
absence of the only clergyman of the place
The weeping friends were seated about
the room, when he rose aud said: "lt's

One of the Results of Emancioation

The Baltimore Amertcoa says the
abolition of slavery in Maryland is attend
ed with all the good results the friends
OF emancipation expected. A steady
stream of emigrants from sister States.
particularly Pennsylvania, is pouring in,
now that free labor has become a set
tied fact. In every county Of the State
large sales Of lands have taken place dur
ing the past two mouths, aud the pur-
chssers are men who intend to settle. s1d
who do not purchase tor the sake of spec
ulatiou. A paper published in Caroline
county. reports the sale of three farms at
good prices, all to Pennsylvauians.-
Similar reports are made from Somerset
and other ounties, all indicating i pros.
porous future for free Maryland.

Sugar Made From Corn.

The latest novelty in agricultural pro
ducts is the manufacture of sugar from
corn. Professor Groessliug, German
chemist, at the West is said to have dis.
covered process by which beautiful
white syrup and gTanulated sugar may be
made from corn starch. A company has
been organized in New York with large
capital to procure patent and rest the
discovery. The Buffalo Com mercial
Adrertiser says of it:
They propose TO enter at once unoa
the manufacture of syrup and sugar from
corn by the new process, upon "a large
scale, and to introduce its manufacture
throughout the country as fast as exp.di-
ent. Experiments have already sue
ceeded in the production of at least TIRES
and half gallons of syrup from a bush
ell of corn, and of a quality which is.
pronounced by the most critical judges
to be equal in every respect to the best
syrups heretofore produced at the New
York re6neries from sugar cane. An
equivalent amount of granulated, first
quality sugar it is also claimed can be
produced, but we understand that for
the present the company will confne its
efforts to the production of syrup. 40
tive preparations are being made, how
ever, to enter upon the extensive manu-
facture of sugar, and it is expected that
the company will be prepared to put the
staple into the market during the pres
ent winter.

The Presidents Views.

The Now York Tribune presents, in its
editotial columns, what. is understands to
be the views of President johnson on Ger.
tain vexed questions. II says:
Piesideut johnson as We understand him,
holds that no State has ever been out OF ,he
Union--tbat all acts of so.called Secession,
and all proceedings of pretended State au-
thoritios thereuuder--are legal nullitios. OF
no force and effect save as they may afford
evidence of the treason of their authors
lie therefore holds that tho loyal voters OF
"a State constitute the people of that State
politically, and have right to reconstitute
il Whenever tho hostile forces Of the Rebel.
ion shall have been fully Withdrawn or sub.
verted, In such reconstruction, those who
we're voters under the State Constitution
as it existed prior to secession, aud who
shall be loyal to tho Union and Its Constitu.
tiOn at tho time of reconstruction. will be
the only legal voters, and tho question OF
negro suffrage, or of any" fundamental
change whatever must be decided by them
But, so far from thinking that colorod pco.
pie ought not to vote, VIC infor from pret-
ty full exposition of his views to which We
very recently listenod, that tho President
will exert whatever influence he believes
himself fairly entitled to in the premises, In
favor of such Suffrage. The only ground
that exists for imputing to him hostility in
heres in his conviction that loyal State Con.
stitutiops are not subject to change by Pres.
i1cntisl edcts nor by orders from tho War
Department.
