ROMANTIC STORY OF A REMARKABLE PIECE
OF HUMAN HAIR.-A magnificent piece of hu-
man hair-the largest, finest and most vslu-
able in Americas now hanging in the win
dow of Thompson & Co., in Canal street,
near Broadway. 1t is of dark brown hue,
soft as silk, weight seven ounces, and is sixty.
four inches in length-fve feet four inches.
On medium sized woman, this would sweep
the floor. The longest piece of hair on rec
ord. exhibited at the London Exposition of
1851, belonging to Leon Pellery, of Paris,
and was seventytwo inches in length. The
story Of this one that measured sixty-four
inches is rather romantic. 1t came from the
head of q Swabian peasant girl, who had two
suitors for her hand. one poor farm hand,
| who earned six kreutzers day, aud the other
rich miller. The miller owned the cottage
in which the Swabian girl and her widowed
mother lived, and being as selfish and un-
scrupulous as he was wealthy, threatened to
drive his tenants out of their home unless his
suit was successful. although they bad al
ready paid rart Of the price demanded for the
cottage, and were working and saving to pay
the remainder. In this emergency trave-
| ling hair merchant appeared in the village,
and sooner than marry the wealthy miller,
or on the other hand have her aged mother
driven from house and home. she determined
upon the sacrifice of her beautiful hair. 1t
was taken to the Leipsic annual fair; sold
there for $l75 to an American dealer, aud
from his hands found its way to its present
owners. 1t is valued at between $3.50 and
$500.

A letter to tie New York Tribune dated
Stonington. Conn, February 18th, says:
For the last two days the people Of this VII
lage, as we'll as the neighhoring towns cf
Westerly and Charlestown, in Rhode Island.
have been much excited over the condition of
a young lady in the latter place, who, il was
reported, had been in . state Of trance for
nearly o week. Last Friday afternoon, your
correspondent, in company with physician
of this place, visited Charlestown, small
manufacturing village. and called at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Josiah King. the young lady 8
mother, from whom we learned the following
facts Miss Susy A. King. her daughter,
was about % years of age. About two weeks
ago she was taken sick with an affection of
the throat, by which she was confined to her
bed several days; she then seemed to become
convalescent, and one day left her room.
That night. however, she was worse. COM
planning of severe pains in her hands and
feet, fron which she was not relieved on the
next day. when she lapsed into an uncon-
scious state. in which she continued till her
death on Friday, February IL.
The usual preparations for the grave were
made. ibe body laid in the coffin. and on Sun
day the funeral services were held. While
u
body, a physician present thought that he
observed signs life. The body was removed
from the coffin, and friction and artificial
respiration resorted to, but with effect. The
next day the gaIvanic battery was applied,
but was also useless.
After giving us these particulars. Mrs.
King invited us to view the body. Leading
Us into small room, We found it lying in the
coffin, where it had remained since death was
supposed to have taken place. The body was
that of young woman Of fine personal ap-
pearance. Her face was full. the eyes un-
sunken, the lips red, and the flush Of health
was on her cheek. There was total alb
sence of muscular rigidity. and on Wednesday,
after lying six days in this condition, the
body was perceptibly warm to the touch.
The physician present applied the stetho-
scope, but could detect no pulsation Of the
heart, and the application of lighted match
to TIE arm produced no blister but there
was no discoloration in fact, not the slight
est evidence Of decay or even death was out
wardly discernible. Many physicians of the
surrounding country have examined this
wonderful case, though disagreeing in their
conclusions; some believing Miss King to be
in a state of trance, while others think her
dead, and attribute the preservation of the
corpse to arsenic taken by the young lady to
improve her complexion. That Miss King
had such habit, however, the family deny.
Much sympathy is felt and expressed for the
family and some idea of the interest the case
has excited may be inferred from the fact,
that during the past week more than $500
people have visited the house.

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,

Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine has anything won so widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through i long
series of years, and among most of the races Ct
men 1t has risen higher and higher In their estma-

character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat have made it known rs re-
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mil Ter forms of disease and to young children, it is
at the came time the most efectual remedy that

case seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry Pector0i. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
toral they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro.
lection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectorat in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here or do moro
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
