One oi our correspondents from the road gives an inklins of the matter but the buyer is said to be a muscular fellow, and had We met him as ipdi. eated It IS not likely We should have attempted to strip him in the street.

The Augusta Me- Journal Of Friday,
the 10Th ult., tells this marvellous tale:
We have an event TO chronicle that
would scarcely be believed were it not
suthoritatiyely vouched for by competent
witnesses, parties whose testimony can
not well be disputed or set aside. A
young man in the town Of Vassalboro, in
this county, was suffering in the last
stages of consumption, the disease
which had insidiously and stealthily
brought him to the verge of the grave.
For several weeks he had been entirely
PROSTATE and unable to speak, even to
arliculate a syllable. He became so oP-
pressed for breath that he compelled his
attendants to raise the windows Of his
room, put out the fire, and resort to
every means to obtain fresh air. One
day last week, Thursday, we understand,
the young man died. Friendly hands
prepared the poor emaciated body for
the burial but just as the attending
friends were arranging the remains for
the casket, there appeared unmistakable
signs of returning life, in what had
seemed to them an inanimate mass OF
clay. The ear Of the attendant was bent
down to the side of the dead man, and it
was discovered that the heart had begun
again its slow and measured palpitations,
the pulse throbbed, and the young man
rose from the death shrouds, opened his
mouth, and spoke in clear and distinct
words 10 those who stood appalled, in
the death chamber. There was no
huskiness in his voice, he appeared lively
and active, said he felt not the slightest
pain, but, to use his own language, al
feel Just as we'll as l ever did" At his
request the neighbors were all called in,
who crowded the house for hours, de-
claring that the recovery Of the man was
equal to any miracle recorded in the
Scriptures. He told this startled as
semblage of his friends and neighbors
that, as he died, all things seemed dark,
but only for an instant; his eyes sud
denly opened to a new world, the real
heaven which had been 80 many times
in his thoughts and had given him 50
much comfort in his last weeks OF pain
and sorrow. lie stood upon an eminence
which overlooked vast and beautiful
plain; the magnificent plain stretched
further than his enlarged vision could
penetrate, and he described it in Ian
guage which, to his mortal auditors,
seemed extravagant in the extreme. But
the revivifed life of the young man was
not to continue long. Before night he
again resigned himself to death. The
body was kept a reasonable length of
time, and buried on Sunday last, the
funeral being largely attended. We
have written out the particulars Of this
remarkable event substantially as we
heard them, allowing our intelligent
readers the privilege Of drawing their
own inferences.

The Pal Mall Grsette says; The latest
interesting archaeological discovery
has been made in Crete, The monks Of
a convent which occupies the site Of the
ancient and once celebrated town Of Ap-
terra have dug up two liie-sized female
statues draped after the fashion Of ladies
who moved in " society" three thousand
years ago. The question as to the iden-
tity Of these statues has, il is stated,
raised lively controversy among local
archeologists. BY some IT is maintained,
on the strength Of barely legibe In
scription on the pedestal Of one Of the
statues, that they represent daughter
Of the Emperor Claudius. The inscrip-
ton is, however, 30 clumsiiy cut, and
represents 10 rude a contrast 10 the ex-
quisite chiseling of the figures themselves,
that it is supposed by Others to have
been made by an inxperienced hand at a
comparatively recent epoch. The stat
ues, which attract great interest, are to
be sent at an early date TO Constantine
pie, 10 be deposited in the stamboul Mu-
scum. II is to be hoped that centuries
hence no one will dig up any female stat
ues existing in this country draped after
the fashion of the present age.

A Groscla0 Nose.

Pierre Denisart, forty.seyen years of
age, WAS taken to the hospital in Paris
the other day, suffering from strange
malady. About two weeks previous he
was attacked by sudden pains in his nose,
and three days later he noticed, TO his
horror, that his nose was growing longer
The pain continues, aud the nose is still
growing. IL has already grown more
than an inch. The saddest part OF the
story is that Denisart has very hand
some head, and has heretofore made his
living as a model. He will new be
obliged to support himself by exhibiting
his nose. II Denisart's nose continues
growing at the same rate, that is, about
an inch in ten days, il will touch the
ground in about twenty months.
