"THRow PHYsfo TO the Docs. The Boston
journal says il this is not an age of miracles, it
is not the fault Of some people in Massachusetts,
as the following item from Worcester exchange
will bear witness:
"Dr Manning, Of Palmer. Mass, has brought
q suit ganst W. $. Nichols, Of Monson, to re-
cover 500 tor medical attendance upon bis daugh-
ter, who for several ars has been unable 70 walk
or talk. Or Me,i aaas,ssays be commenced TREAT
ing her in January last and agreed to charge
nothing for his services unless he could make her
walk and talk before the first OF May. The young
lady did recover previous TO that time, and her
friends decline paving the doctors bill, claiming
that her remarkable cure effected by the pray
ers of the church, and not by any medicine Of the
Doctors
A miracle only yasit is Providential why sneer?
EXCITING CHAsE.-A few days since,
Custom Honse Officer Kimbal Of Barton,
overhauled one X. X. Wheeler, with a small
load Of whiskey, somewhere in the town Of
Albany and accordingly seized the team and
contents. Giving his own team in charge Of
a boy he had with him, Kimball rode back
toward lrasburgh with Wheeler. Wheeler,
however having deeply At heart the disgrace
which riding with Custom House Officer
would bring upon him, earnestly desired
Kimbal TO let him ride alone into the village.
Mr.. Kimbali being naturally hnd-hearted,
and Of an oblging disposition, having CONT
dence in the young man consented to the ar
rangement Wheeler, however, on arriving
at lrasburgh, iorg his promises, and At
tempted 20 gain on the officer and give him
the slip by taking down the road leading to
Barton. Kimball asisoon as fresh horse
could be procured, pursued him. but did not
overtske him until some five miles of road
had been gone over, and that az the height
oil their horses speed. Kimball then succeed
ed in securing the property, which consisted
Of a smart horse, good wagon and fifteen gal
Ions Of whskey. The worst part of the
whole affair, however, seemed to be the dis
appointment Of those who we're to receive the
whiskey. l. seems that Wheeler was to car
~ it to CIattsbury for certain persons in
Greensboro. Accordingly, quite a number Of
them came to Crafts bury with their jugs, but
owing to the vigilance Of Mr.. Kimbal were
obliged to return TO their dreary homes dry
and comfortiess, to ponder On the uncertain
ties Of contraband ifade.--Eypress.
