The Aroostook Sunrise spoils the story of
Benz. Rolfe's being swept over Rumford
Falls, making plunge of 1862 feet and then
asking for a ''chaw of tobaccer." 1t seems
that he got cast away on a rock, while his
BOAT was stove into thousand fragments.
| How to get Rolfe from his throne in the tor
| rent, was the next question. A canoe was
procured to whicha rope was made fast, and
| gong long way up stream they let it drop
down to strike the rock and have Rolfe get
on board, expecting to draw him to the shore.
But the rope parted and away went the canoe
to join its predecessors in the torrent below.
They then procured small tree with all the
limbs on it, and passing it down in the same
manner, after many attempts Rolfe succeed
ed in catching some of the brush, and thus
getting hold of the rope made it fast to his
body, and was drawn by his neighbors thrO'
the foaming waters to the shore. lie was an
inveterate user of tobacco as well as rum,
and he had been on that rock some eighteen
OF twenty nours without either, and the first
words he uttered, after splitting the water out
of his mouth, was, "That rock is a DIN dry
place for rum and tobacco"
The Portland Argus narrates truly sim
gular story of a young married lady of that
city, named Elizabeth G. Small, little more
than twenty years old, who for the past seven
weeks has lain in a complete and uninter-
rupted trance. On former sickness she
predicted an affection which in point of time
and general character. exactly indicated this
present terrible condition. Last Monday eve
ming she was very nervous and hysterical.
Towards morning, on Tuesday, she fell
suddenly into the fit, or trance, in which she
has remained without change. Her physi-
clans say she has evidently been uncon-
scous throughout the whole period, although
she has spoken on several occasions and once
sang the fragment of a song with rare pathos
and power. Saturday afternoon her bedside
was surrounded by some of her former ac-
quaintances and the patient talked with two
or three of them, but evidently without per-
sonal recognition. She talked, and even
sensibly, but never as though it made any diff
ference as to who the individuals might be-
During all this time she lies in bed and eats
nothing except in the merest mechanical way,
and as it is forced upon her.
