AN ALLEGED MIRACLE AT CALAIS.

A young daughter Of Mr.. John Robinson
Of Calais, In this State, Is said TO have been
cured OF st. Vitus' dance, since the new
year, by means that have excited much In
terest. Mr.. Robinson thus related the
particulars Of the strange case;
Ny little girl, only years old, suffered
every hour, night and day, with St. Fitus
dance, so that she had TO be watched con-
stantly to prevent her falling on the stove
or dishes. The physician attending her,
said she must be sent TO the hospital at
Augusta. related the case to an old man
whom happened to meet, and told him
how badly / fell at sending her away. He
said she could be entirely cured In nine
DAYS, and that was lucky man in having
the means Of cure in my own home. lie
told me to stand my donkey with his head
to the south, then sit the child on its back,
with her face to the east, and then to pass
her over the donkey's back, toward the
west, saying: ''In the name Of the Father,
Son and Holy Ghost" Following his In
structions, / did this for nine mornings,
before breakfast. On the third morning,
the child began to improve and the donkey
to take the disease. From that time to
the end of nine days, the child rapidly
grew better, and the donkey to grow worse
until It died, on Monday, 10th, after great
suffering. The child Is now perfectly re-
stored. The neishbors are witnesses TO
these facts.

A Historic HOUsE.-Gustavus A. Col
burn, Esq, Of Pittston, lives in the same
house which was occupied by his grand
father when General Arnold's expedition
went up the Kennebec, and the corner
closet or buffet still stands just as 1t did
when General Arnold and his officers took
their nippers out Of the well-stocked bot
ties therein. The parlor and chamber are
nearly as they were then. Mr.. Colburn's
grandfather made the batteaux for Arnold's
expedition, near this house, but it is said
he never got his pay for the job. The
house, OF course, has been greatly modern
lied, but is still one of the most interest
ing objects of antiquity on the Kennebec.
