Proposed Reunion OF the States Of Vir'
ginin and West Yirginia.

The question of reuniting the two Vir-
ginias, is now being agitated with consider
able spirit. DR.. Peter of Virginia, appears
as the special champion of the project, but
his arguments are largely of sentimental
character. In the portion of his article
that may be considered of practical ma
ture, he contends that the reconstruction
of the State of Virginia would be the sim
plest and most satisfactory solution Of the
vexed question relating to the division of
the State debt. He does not doubt the
willingness of West Virginia TO bear her
fair proportion of the public burden, but
asks, W bo can justly divide it between
the two States?" If the State were recon-
structed, the debt, he says, would fall
equally on those who contracted it, and by
judicous and equitable taxation, with the
increased prosperity certain to acrue from
the public improvements now in progress
or projected, might be paid or made a per-
manent obligation easy to be Endorsed.
Sound economy, he urges further, demands
the reunion of the two States. The taxes
in both have been augmented by the di-
vision, and the heavy load cannot be di-
minished while the States are disunited.

The Perils of Dentistry.

Miss Julia w. Doolittle, residing at Hud-
son and Fulton avenue, Brooklyn, recently
visited the dental Office of r. G.. Brewster,
at 303 Fulton street, to have eight or ten
teeth extracted preparatory to using false
set, and while undergoing the operation
died. She had called at the dentists Office
on Saturday, and taken laughing gas, but
this failed to produce insensibility. The
dentist said she might take chloroform,
but that he would not administer it, and
that she would have to engage physi-
clan. She obtained the services of DIR. G..
S. Little, of No. III Carlton avenue, who
went with her next day to the dentists of
flee and administered Chloroform, after
which J. W. Eggleson, an assistant drew
four teeth. DR.. Brewster, after extract
ing five teeth, found that she was gradual
ly sinking under the effects of the chloro-
form. DIR. Little applied restoratives, and
removed her from chair to a sofa in an ad-
joining room, where galvanic battery was
applied for at least an hour without produc-
ing any effect except artificial respiration.
Other physicians were called, but their
efforts utterly failed to restore animation,
and in short time she died.

A Qneer Needle Case.

Last Sunday evening a week, a young girl,
who lives on the Raleigh road, complained of
violent pain in the head and right cheek.
AT first the mother of the girl thought that
nothing serious would result, and that a
visit of the doctor was not necessary
About ten o'clock the same night the pain
in the head and cheek began to cease. The
child's eyes closed, and her pains were for
gotten in sleep. The mother who watched
necessarily at her daughters bedside,
thought that before morning all would be
well, but this was not the case. The girl
awoko before five the next morning, and
began to cry in most lamentable manner.
Her mother inquired for the cause Of this.
The daughter replied that she had a terri
BILE pain in her right arm she felt as if
something was sticking her there. From
the way she suffered, it was at last conolu-
ded to send for doctor. The physician
came about nine o'clock, and ordered some
liniment to be rubbed on the painful arm.
The next morning the doctor came again,
asking Mary, for this was the child's name,
to show her arm. He perceived right be-
low the shoulder three very small spots,
shining as steel would. Touching them,
he found that they were very hard. The
girls mother then remarked that these dots
looked like the heads Of needles The
doctor could not believe that there was
such thing in Mary's arm however, to
please the mother, he applied small pair
of pinchers to one of the spots. Now, i'm
agine the surprise of those present when he
pulled out of the flesh three needles which
formed the three spots upon the arm. But
this is not the end. The physician continued
his visits three more mornings, extracting
each morning three more needles, After
this Mary's pains passed away, and now
she is as well as any of us. Can some sci
entific brain explain how the needles found
their way into the arms of this little girl
who endured so much suffering? If a
crank were attached to such a girl, would
she not make capital sewing machine?-

Terrible Fires In Mlchlgan.

A letter from Michigan says, that the
entire country along the coast of the lake
between Manitonoc and Annaper is being
devasted by fire. The flames are destroying
everything, houses, barns and stores,
in their course. Mr.. Marshall, of Milwaukee
who escaped through the fire at the risk of
life, and whose horses were badly scorched,
counted twenty-five houses and barns re-
duced to ashes. ffa1
The losses in Kewanee county will reach
a quarter of million dollars. Farmers are
burying their household goods in the
ground to save them, as all communication
has been cut of. The exact situation can
not be ascertained, but it is feared, unless
rain sets in, the damage and loss of life will
be fearful. The wells are all dried up, and
the lake is the only resort for water

A PerilOnS Ride.

Four little Poughkeepsie boys recently
took dangerous railroad ride. An extra
locomotive ON the Hudson River road had
stopped there few moments, and suppo-
sing it switch-engine employed at the de-
pot, they jumped on the rear of the tender.
Three sat on the guard, only six inches
wide, and the other got astride the bumper
Soon after the engine started it was run
ming forty miles an hour, The boys were
terribly shaken. They could not be seen
from the engine the dust and smoke con-
cealed them from the fagmen they passed,
and their cries were drowned by the noise.
A man at Poughkeepsie suspected trouble,
and the engine was stopped by telegraph
at New Hamburg. The boy who was
astride of the link was unable to walk when
taken of, his legs being awfully chafed.-
The hands of the other boys were blis-
tered terribly, and the blood oozed out
from under their finger nails, 80 tightly had
they grasped the woodworks of the tender.
They were nearly exhausted, and short
distance more would have killed them.

England.

For some time past there have been
symptoms of disahection toward Queen
Victoria, which threaten ere long to make
some decided change in that government
A recent speech by the Right Honorable
Benjamin Disrael, ex-Premier of England,
has succeeded in producing apolitical and
popular agitation in Great Britain, that
may result in effecting the most serious, if
not startling consequences suddenly. r"
The learned gentleman has placed him
self in direct collision with the Grown and
its authority, as it is worn and welded by
Queen Victoria. He has accomplished the
act deliberately, wilfully, and publicly. p
Mr.. Disraeli at a dinner at his country
residence, in proposing the toast Of the
health of Her Majesty the Queen, took oc-
casion to assure his friends and neighbors
that the sovereign lady had become physi-
cally, and is morally incapacitated from
performing her public duties longer. His
bold charge regarding the state Of the
health of the Queen is accepted very gener-
ally as being correct. The royal lady has
remained fevered and irritable during many
months. She has been lately afflicted with
infamatory sore throat, and most painful
glandular tumors, and has only just shaken
off severe attack of general illness. Peo-
pie speak of the tendency to insanity, which
is hereditary in her family, and there re-
mains on the whole, not the slightest doubt
that Disrael has expressed sentiment
that is already ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS abdica-
tion, cheaper government, or a complete
change in the form of the ruling power Of
Great Britain. f-N

What a Landlord Found.

One day last week a well-dressed man,
with a fashionable goatee and large trunk,
engaged board at the Franklin House in
Paterson. He registered his name as
"Walter Powell, Newbergh, N. Y" and
regaled himself on the best the tables and
bar afforded. On Thursday he hired one Of
Phil Doremus' best carriages, and that is
the last that has been seen of him. Mr..
Miller, the landlord of the Franklin House,
and Phil Doremus took possession OF
Powell's big trunk, in the hope of making
good their loss by disposing Of its contents.
Yesterday they broke it open, and found il
filed with old cabbages and corn husks.

Large Haul.

The daring of broadway robbers far sur
passes the boldness with which the high
waymen of Hounslow Heath used to stop
the mail coaches with their cry of "Stand
and deliver ~ The very crowd Of Broadway
is practical cover for these bold freeboot-
ers, for in that crowd it is eyerybodys bus
iness to interfere in nobody else's business,
One afternoon, at the crowded corner of
Broadway and Warren street, two men
tripped apparently and fell. One recover
ed himself first and walked away without
stopping to apologize or to look out for his
companion. Not one in the crowd paid any
attention TO the matter further than to
laugh quietly at the mishap. And yet in
the few seconds of that fall one of the men
was robbed by the other of thirty-five
thousand dollars. The tripping and the
fall were parts of bold plan of robbery
thus successfully carried out.---M y Pa

A Whole County Sinks in FIorida.

The Florida mails give meagre and vague
accounts of an astonishing phenomenon at
Apopka, Orange county, near Pilatka. The
whole county disappeared in one night and
and lis site is covered by a great lake. A
correspondent, writing from the neighbor-
hood to the Pilatka Herald, gives an ac-
count of the adventure and hair-breadth
escape of Mr. Alex X. Foster, who was
caught, horseback, by bog-quake, and
barely reached hard ground. AS soon as
he was safe he looked back, and this is
what he says
"The first thing that attracted my atten-
zion was that the trees were moving-frst
gyratory motion of the top, then some
sinking gradually out of sight, the tops re-
volving more and more rapidly as they
sunk and disappeared, others following,
and as they fell revolving and describing
arcs Of circle against the sky. Then the
whole earth, as far as the eye could reach,
sinking, and its place supplied by sea Of
waters, rushing, seething, boiling with the
noise of mighty cataracts, and ever and
anon casting TO the surface the roots, tops
or bodies of mighty pines and oaks"
The Herdld's correspondent says :
"Rumors are rife that Orlando is swallow
ed up, and the whole chaiu of lakes to Lake
Conway are now united and form an i'm
mense inland sea-"
