ENTOoMED ELEVEN DAYs.-In Berlin letter we find the following story: A most extraordinary instance of the preservation of life without sustenance for a heightened period has lately occurred at Ponikau, near Grossenhayn, in Saxony. On the 9th of December, two brothers, named Muschter were engaged in digging deep well, when the earth fell in and completely buried them. A third brother went down imme- diately, but was not able to detect the slightest sound. Some miners were then set to work, and dug for some days but without success; and it was so generally believed that the poor fellows could not possibly be alive, that orders had been giv- en, that unless the relations insisted on proceeding further, the we'll should be fill ed up and monument to tho memory of the Muschters erected over 1t. Eight days had hardly elapsed since the accident, but the mother of the entombed would not give up all hope, and some fresh hands began to work again, though only with the hope of finding the corpses. To their astonish- ment however, they soon heard from below sDo not strike so hard" A conversation commenced, the work was pushed forward with renewed diligence, and at length crowned with success.
 On the 18th of December, after they had been eleven days and four hours in this liv- ing grave, the two Muschters were rescued and brought to the surface. The earth that had fallen in had left a kind of cave above them. Their only sustenance during this long period had been the water that oozed through the earth, and little tobacco which they had chewed. They had watch with them which they wound up regularly, and were therefore able to keep an account of their burial. At first they lighted luci
 fer matches to see the time; but when they had used them up, they felt the hands. They had heard the conversation above them respecting the filling up of the we'll
 and shouted, but could not make them. selves heard. They had also sung hymns together, and the people at the surface had heard it faintly, but, being 6 little super
 stltious, had attributed it to angels in the air"

He took his text from the 18th Psalm, 129tb verse: Thy testimonies are wonderful ; The subject treated upon was-the incom- parable excellence of the scriptures.

nay~ MT. Wm. D. Bishop. of Bridpeport

ag9~ MT. Wm. D. Bishop, of Bridgeport, is somewhat given to rhapsody. He made a speech the other day to the Democratic Convention that nominated Wm. H. Bar mum for Congress, and in the course there of made the following high-toned allusion to the nominee:
 Wm. H. Barnum's life is written in let ters of gold on tho iron hills of Litchfeld County, and in the hearts of her people. His praises are heard in the ring of the for ges, in the hum of the wheel, and in the clank of the steam engine throughout the length and breadth of the land. Nominat- ed by this Convention, Wm. H. Barnum would bind his opponents in ribs of Sails bury iron. "-&c., &c.
 This is little forid, but it is just Wm. D.'s usual style. People over that way haven't that deg1ee' of confidence in Will liam statements, that they will rush incon- tinently to the 'siron hills of Litchfeld County" in quest of the letters of gold'' on speculation. But what an uncommon nice man Wm. H. Barnum must be, to have his praises sung by so much comph- cated machinery. According to Bishop, he is the burden of all sorts of songs, from the sweet sizzle of the tea kettle, to the pom derous whang of the trip hammer. And that's probably what's the matter with Da- bolrs fog whistle. -Noraoich Bulletin.
