before last, according 10 the Register,

whole town was going to smash. A. il
was three men made assignments, aud
half a dozen suits were brought against
other parties. Those making assignment,
were George Hammond, T., X. Clay and
Toussant kjdder. The paper company
which failed a short time ago, it is
thought, will make some arrangement
with creditors, reorganize, and go on
with business as before.
a peculiar episode occurred in Rut-
land Church last Sunday week. a
worthy farmer dropped to sleep in the
middle Of the accommodating very un-
usual-but he had the nightmare, and
soon startled preacher and congregation
by throwing mp his arms and uttering an
unearthly yen. He was reused with some
difficulty, the preacher proceeded, and the
sleeper went to sleep again.
1t may not be worth while to contra
diet all the false and silly rumors which
some papers seem to delight in printing
about st. Johusbury, but those who care
for facts will find them briefly these; The

largely IN excess Of those for January '53
Among their orders last month was ont
for twelve railroad track scales. Tht
company made last week almost eigh
hundred scales. They also purchased
seven hundred tons Jt pig iron, to be de

order from Chicago for twenty-five 500

CAP soCIABLEs.

Cap sociables" are the rage in Sara
toga this winter, The Saroiogtaa says ;
There was lots Of merriment and fun
at the cap sociabIe given by the ladies
Of the Baptist church We heard~it
reported that several young gentlemen
surreptitiously changed the figures on
the caps to correspond with certain
other caps, We hope this story is not
true. such conduct would hive been
fraudulent aud wicked, and besides
Amherst college might hear Of it We
don't think either that the pastor of the
church, who was present, would have
lent his couutenance to any such thing.
Everybody was very careful not to
give any occasion for Amherst college
to make any points against us, aud say
that we hold "high carnival" and
"chalk each others caps" and such
things, even at our church sociables. -
Our Saratoga friends are entitled to
great credit for their laudable efforts

A Singular Case.

On the 10th of November child was
disinterrcd from an old graveyard at Clays-
vile, KY, which was buried, in metallic
case, on the 9th of July, 1855. The child
was two years old at the time of its death,
and as it had shown great fondness for
flowers, its grandmother, when it was lying
in sort OF stupor, sought to rouse it to
consciousness by holding two freshly pluck
ed damask rosebuds before il. The sink
ing child clutched these buds and held
them firmly in its little hand until it died.
When the shroud was finished and the
body put in the coffin, no effort was made
to take the rose sweets from the cold clasp;
and so the buds Of flowers were buried
with the bud of humanity. More than
eighteen years passed away when the coffin
was bro ught again into the light. The lid
was opened, and strange sight was pre-.
sented to those who looked within. The
flesh had not crumbled to dust. The child
was in an almost perfect state of preserva
ton, and in its hand it held two full-blown
damask roses. The leaves appeared fresh
but they emitted no fragrance. The case
certainly is remarkable one, and who
shall say what memories thronged the
minds Of the parents when they gazed
upon the form and lineaments of the in
FAINT, and traced in them all the old lines
of beauty which had made it precious to
the heart in years agone, 1t was like re-
alizing on earth the hope which is born Of
Faith-the hope, which takes root in the
heart when the clods are duly falling on
the coffin, Of standing face to face with
the dear departed when life's troubles shall
be over and the gates Of heaven have closed
behind us.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1874-01-10
Foreign Affairs.

The ScKsg OF BAZAINE's IMpRIsoN-
MEYT.-The fort Saintc Marguerite,
whittier BazaiBe has been transferred, was
constructed under i.olis XIII and repaired
by Vauban. Among the celebrated pris-
oDers who have been confined there are
Omer Fullon the Man in the Iron Mask,
the poet Langrnnge-C hancel and certain
Bishop Broglie, who fourished during the
first empire. From 1871 to 1859 a num-
Der of Arab prisoners were detained there.
Pliny speaks of city called Veagoanum,
which once existed in the Isle st. Mar
guerite, but no trace of it can now be
found. In the seyonteeth century the
first of the modern Notifications was built
by order of Richelieu. The fort was
besieged in 1876 by the Spaniards, and in
1746 by the Piedmontcse and Austrians.
Prosper Merrimee, in his Voyages
dans le Midi" gives some interesting
details about this fortress, and particularly
about the room in which the Man with
the Iron Mask was confined for seventeen
years.
No one supposes, however, that Bazaine
win remain very long la this prison. 1t
is generally believed that in few years
his sentence will be committed to banish-
meat
SpAIN.--Tbe Geographic news from
Spain is of rather startling nature The
Cortes convened Saturday. President
CASTELAR, presented very fair and able,
though somewhat dcspairiDg address. A
test vote was than taken, which went
against CASTELAR, By 100 of majority.
General pavia, friend Of the President,
in short time filed the palace of the
Cortes and other public buildings with
troops, dissolved tho Legislative body aud
summoned the most prominent men of all
parties, except Carlists and Intransigentes
10 deliberate ON the formation of a new
government, refusing position himself how
ever. He, moreover, declared this III,
only way to save the country. CASTELAR,
was urged to remain in power, but refused
and finally u new Ministry was formed
with Serrano as President.
