RISEN FROM THE DEAF.
A singular story from Maine of
Temporary Return IN Life

n Story from Maine of a
temporary Return 60 Life.
The Augusta (Me Journal of Friday.
18th ult., tells this marvellous tale:
!" We have an event TO chronicle that
would scarcely be believed were it not
authoritatively vouched for by competent
witnesses, parties whose testimony can
not be well 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 %lnsidiously and stealthily brought
him to the verge Of the gave. For sew
eral weeks he had been entirely pros
trate and unable to speak, even to articu-
iate a syllable. He became so oppressed
ior breath that he compelled his attend
ants to raise the windows in his room.
put out the fires, and resort to every
means to obtain fresh air. One day last
week Thursday, we understand the
young man died. Friendly hands pre-
pared the poor, emaciated bodv for the
burial; but just as the attending friends
we're arranging the remains for the cas
ket, there appeared unmistakable evil
dences of returning life in what had
seemed to them an inanimate mass Of
clay. The ear Of an 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 arose from the death shrouds,
opened his mouth, and spoke in clear
and distinct tones to those who stood
appalled, in the death chamber. There
was no huskiness in his voice; he an
peared lively and active; said he felt not
the slightest pain, but, to use his own
language, II feel just as we'll as | ever
did AT his request the ~neighbors we're
all called in, who crowded the house for
hours, declaring that the recovery of the
man was equal to any miracle recorded
in the Scriptures. he told this startled
sssemblage 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 so many
times in his thoughts and had given him
so much comfort in his last weeks Of
pain and sorrow. He stood upon an
eminence which overlooked a vast and
beautiful plain; the magnificent plain
stretched further than his enlarged vision
could penetrate, and he described it in
language which, to his mortal auditors,
seemed extrayagant in the extreme. But
the reviviied life Of the young man was
not to continue long. Before night be
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
have heard them, allowing our intelligent
readers the privilege of drawing their
own inferences."

Mr.. Harvey Robinson, for many years
connected with the bar at the Peabody
Hotel, and w~ell-known for his politeness
and close attention to business, has
started out on his " account, and will
to morrow open one Of the most tasteful
and elegant saloons in this city. A
LEDGER reporter dropped in at the new
place, No. II Monroe street, nearly op-
posite the Peabody Hotel, this morning,
and was surprised at the complete trans
formation. In the first place, it has
been repainted at great expense, and
with a harmony and finish that bespeak
the artist, Mr.. Davis. The plumbing
and gas-ftting is a feature that
attracts special notice. It. was
done by Phil Mallon, Of course.
The carpets, oil-cloths, mirrors, and bar
fixtures have all been selected with care
and taste, regardless Of cost, and several
costly pictures are to be added. The
back room is elegantly furnished. In
fact, everything is unique in its place
and all arranged with reference o thar
monious effect and utility as well. In
the way of drinkables, the best WHISTLES,
brandies, gins and wines, domestic and
imported, have been bought. English
ale and porter will be kept on draught.
Harvey has returned to old principles,
and will charge only fifteen and twenty
cents respectively for plain and fancy
drinks. Lunch viii be set tomorrow
and every day. Messrs. W. H. Bingham
aud Thomas Collier will be retained as
assistants, and the numerous friends of
these three gentlemen will give them a
liberal send-off Their enterprise will
doubtless be rewarded by the generous
patronage of the public,

CONSERVATIVES, TAKE NOTICE. Every mo-
ment of delay makes your euro more hope
less, and much depends on the judicious
choice of a remedy. The amount of testi-
non in favor Of Dr.. Schenck's Pulmoniu
Syrup, as a sure for consumption, far exceeds
all that'can be brought to support the preten-
sions of any other medicine. See DR..
Schenck's Almanac, containing the certif-
Gates Of many persons Of the highest respeota-
bility, who have been restored to hea th, after
being pronounced inourable by physicians Of
acknowledged ability. Schenck's PulmOnic
Syrup alone has cured many, as these evil
dences will show but the cure is often pro-
NOTED by the employment of two other rene
dies which Dr., Sohenck provides for the pur-
pose. These acknowledgements are Schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills By the
timely use of these medicines, according to
directions, DR.. Schenck c%ertifies that NEST
any case Of consumption may be cured.

Nearly a Serious FIRE.

Bingham Bros gallery, in the Goyer
block, came near being the scene Of a
conaagration Saturday evening. The
alcohol lamp used for the purpose Of
heating the burnisher was accidentally
left burning by the boy, who covered up
the instrument with a box preparatory
10 closing the gallery. A falling Of glass
on the sky-light below attracted the at
tention of parties in Harder's store,
who giving the alarm, assembled to
the gallery and found the rooms filed
with smoke. A search in the finishing
room revealed the place of the fire, and
a few buckets of water soon extin-
guished the flames. Ten minutes more
time and the Goyer block would have
probably been past saving.
