A REMARKABLE STORY.
We take the following curious narration
i from an article in " Household VVords
The owner of an estate in Manchester,
i some time in the first half of the last cen
i tury, married young; he and his wife had
| several children, and lived together in a
quiet sta:e of happiness for many years,
i At last business of some kind took the lius
; and up to London—a week's journey in
those days, lie wrote and announced Ids
arrival; I do not think he ever wrote again.
He seemed to be swallowed up in the abyss
| ot the Metropolis, for no friend (and the
i lady had many powerful friends) could ev
er ascertain for her what lecom of him ;
i the prevalent idea was that he had been at
tacked bv some of the street robbers who
prowled about in those days, that he had
| resisted, and had been murdered. His wife
; gradually yave up all hopes of se: ing him
: again, and devoted herself to the cure of
her children ; and so they went on tran
quiliv enough, until the heir became of
age, when certain deeds were necessary
I before he could legally take possession of
| the property. These, Mr. S. (the family
! lawyer) stated, had been given up by him
into the missing gentleman's keeping just
before the lust mysterious journey to Lon
don. with which I think they were in some
way concerned. It was possible that they
were stiil in existence ; some one in Lon
don might have ihetn in possession, and lie
either conscious or unconscious of their
importance. At anv rate, Mr. S.'s advice
i to hi client was that he should put an ad
vertisement in tiie London papers, worded
so skilfully that any one who might hold
the important documents should understand
to what it referred, and no one else. This
was accordingly done ; and, although re
peated at intervals, for some time it met
with no success. But at last, a mysterious
answer was sent, to tin* effect that the deeds
were in existence, and should be given up;
but only on certain conditions, and to the
heir himself. The young man, according
to directions, went to an old house in Bar
bican, where he was told by a man, appa
rently awaiting him, that lie must submit
to be blindfolded, and must follow his gui
dance. He was taken through several
long passages before he left the house ; at
the termination o! one of these he was put
into a sedan chair, and carried about for an
hour or more; he always reported that there
were many turnings, and that he imagined
he was set down finally not very far from
his starting point.
When his eyes wereunbandaged he was
in a sitting room, with tokens of family
occupation lying about. A middle aged
gentlemen entered and told him thai, until
a certain time had elapsed (which should
be indicated to him in a particular way, but
of which the length was not then named,)
he must swear to secrecy as to the means
by which he obtained possession of the
deeds. This oath was taken; and then the
gentleman, not without some emotion, ac
knowledged himself to be the missing fa
ther of the heir. It seems that he had fal
len in love with a damsel, a friend of the
person with whom he lodged. To this
young woman he had represented himself
as unmarried; she listened willingly to his
wooing, and her father who was a shop
; keeper in the city, was not averse to the
THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 20, 1856.
match, as the Lancashire squire had a
goodly presence, and many similar quali
ties, which the shop keeper thought might
be acceptable to his customers The bar
gain was struck ; the descendant of a i
knightly race married the only daughter of
the city shop keeper, and became the ju
nior partner in the business. He told his
son that he had never repented the step he
had taken : that his lowly born wife was
sweet, docile and affectionate; that his fam
ily by her was large, and thai they were
thriving and happy. ID' inquired after
his first (or rather he should say, his true)
wife with friendly affection : approved of
what she had done with regard to his es
tate, and the education of his children; but
said that he rousidbred lie was dead to her.
U lien he really died, he promised that a
particular mi -- ige, lite nature of which he
specified, should be sent to his son Garret;
until then they would not hear more of
each oilier; for j[ was of no use attempting
to trace him under his incognito, even il
the o-.th did not render such an attempt
forbidden. I dare say the vonth had no ,
great wish to trace out the father, who had
been one in name only. He returned lo
Lancashire, look possession of the proper
ty at Manchester, and manv years elapsed
before he receive;! the mysterious informa
tion of his lather's real 'death.
ANOTHER.
The following singular circumstance is
recorded ly Dr. i'lot, in his Natural His
tory of Oxfordshire:
in the \ear 1050, Anne Greene, a ser
vant of Sir Thomas Read, was tried for
murder ot her new born child, and found
guilty. She was executed in tlie court- '
yard at Oxford, where she hung halt an
hour. Being cut down, she was put into
a coffin, ami brought awav to a house to
be dissected; where, when they opened
tiie coffin, notwithstanding the rope re
maincd unloosed, and straight about her
neck, they perceived Iter breast to rise,
whereupon one Mason, a tailor, intending
only an act of charity, set his foot upon
her and, as some say, one Drum, a soldier,
struck her again with the htm end ol his
musket. Notwithstanding all which,
when the learned and eminent Sir William
Perry, ancestor of the present Marquis of
Lausdowne, then Anatomy Professor of
the Uimersity. Dr. Wallis and Dr. Clark,
then President of Magdalen College, and
V ice-Chancellor of the University, came
to prepare the body for dissection, they
perceived some small rattling in her throat;
hereupon desisting from their former pur
pose, they presently used means for her
recovery by opening a vein, laying her in
a warm bed, and also using divers reme
dies respecting her senselessness, insomuch
that within fourteen hours she began to
speak, and the next day talked and prayed
very heartily. During the time of of this,
her recovery, tiie officers concerned in her
executiou would needs have had had her
away again to have completed il on her;
but by the mediation of the worthy doc
tors, and some other friends with the then
Governor of the city, Col. Kclsv, there
was a guard put upon her from ali further
disturbance until, they had sued out her
pardon from the government. Much doubt
indeed arose as to her actual guilt. Crowds
of peopie in the meantime came to see her,
and many asserted that it must be the
providence of God, who would thus assert
her innocence.
After some time, Dr. Petty hearing she
discoursed with those about her, and sus- ;
peeling that the women might suggest unto
her to relate something of strange visions
and apparitions she had seen during the
time she seemed to be dead, (which they
already had begun to do. telling that site
said she had been in a fine green meadow,
having a river running round it, and all
things there glittered like silver and gold.)
lie caused all to depart from the room but,
the gentlemen of the faculty who were to
have been at the dissection, and asked her
concerning her sense and apprehensions
during the time she was hanged. To
which she answered, that she neither re
membered bow the letters were knocked ,
off; how she went out of prison; when :
she was turned off the ladder; whether any
psalm was sung or not; nor was she senst
lile ol any pains that she could remember.
Site came to herself as if she had awak-.
ened out of sleep, not recovering the use
of her speech by slow degrees, but in a
manner altogether, beginning to speak
where she left off on the gallows.
Being thus at length perfectlv recovered,
after thanks given to God, and the persons
instrumental in bringing Iter to life, and
procuring her an immunity from further
punishment, she retired into the country
with her friends at Steeple Carton, where
she was afterwards married, and lived in
good repute amongst her neighbors, hav
ing three children and not dying till 1(559.
The following account af a case of a
girl, who was wrongly executed in 17(5(5,
is given by a celebrated French author, as
an instance of the injustice which was
often committed by the equivocal mode of
trial then used in France.
About seven years since a young peas
ant girl was placed at Paris, in the service
of a man, who, smitten with her beauty,
tried to enveigle her; but she was virtuous
and resisted. The prudence of this girl
irritated the master, and he determined on
revenge, lie secretly conveyed into her
box m inv things belonging to him, m irked
with hi? name. He ihen exclaimed that
i he was robbed, called in a commisair, (a
ministerial officer of justice,) and made
his deposition. The giri's box was search
ed and the things were discovered. The
unhappy servant was imprisoned.
Niie defended herself only by her tears;
she had no evidence to prove that she did
not put the property in her box: and the
only answers to the interrogatories was,
that she was innocent. The judges had
no suspic ion of the depravity of tire accu
ser, whose station was respectable, and
they administered the law in all its rigor.
The innocent girl was condemned to he
hanged. The dreadful office was ineffec
tually performed, as it was the first at
tempt of the son of the Chief Execution
er. A surgeon had purchased the bodv
for dissection, and it was conveyed to his
house. <>n that evening, being about to
open the head, he perceived a gentle
warmth about the bodv. The dissecting
i knife fell from his hand, and he placed in
a bed her whom he was about to dissect.
liis effort to restore her to life was effec
tual, and at liie same time he sent for a
clergyman on whose discretion and expe
-1 riencc he could depend, in order to con
sult with him on this strange event as well
as o have him for a witness to his conduct.
I he moment the unfortunate girl opened
her eyes she believed herself in the other
world, and perceiving the figure of the
priest, who had a marked and majestic
j countenance, she joined her hands tremb
lingly and exclaimed, "Eternal Father, vou
know my innocence, have pity on me!"
, In this manner she continued to invoke
the ecclesiastic, believing in Iter simplicity,
that she beheld her God. They were
long in persuading her that she was not
dead—so much had the idea of the pun
ishment and ol death possessed her imag
ination.
The girl having returned to life : n 1
health, she retired to hide herself in a dis
tant village, fearing to meet the judges or
the officers, who, with liie dreadful tree
incessantly haunted her imagination. The
accuser remained unpunished, because his j
crime, although manifested bv two indi- j
vidual witnesses, was not clear to the eye
oi tiie law. The people subsequently I
became acquainted with die resurrection
of the girl, and loaded with reproaches the j
author of her misery.
THE "RAIL'' OE CIVILIZATION.
Hov it is J if/erf. —The rich man fills it ;
with champagne, and the best spirits, and
the warmest cordials; and the poor man
with gruel, or beer, or vegetables, or what :
ever scraps he can throw into it.
With the benevolent it is a large milk
pail, overflowing with human kindness; !
with the stilish, it is nothing better than a
monster ire pail to freeze everything that
is put into it.
The teetotaller deluges it with tea—and
so does die washerwoman—and also a
large number of ladies; but the hospitable
man, who is in his tastes neither a teeto- '
talier nor a washerwoman, fills it to over
flowing witii generous wine, which he in
viies ins friends to come and enjoy with
him
The melancholy drunkard replenishes
it, time after time, with gin, or brandv, or
whiskey and water, or spirits of some
sort; but the sober man is perfectly con- \
tent if it contains nothing stronger for his
palate than toast and water.
Those who are charitable fill it with ,
soup, which they give away to the poor; j
and iliose who combine charity with poli- ;
j tics, fill it with stones, which, they tell the !
poor, as soon as they are broken, shall be
exchanged for so many loaves of bread.
• Good Advice to Apprentices. —W hen
serving your apprenticeship, you vviil have i
time and opportunity to stock votir mind
, with useful information. The oulv way
for a young man to prepare himself for use
fulness, is to devote himself to study dur
ing liis leisure hours. First, be industrious
in your business—be frugal, be economical j
—n =ver complain that you are obliged to
work; go to it with alacrity and cheerful
ness, and it will become a habit which
will make you respected and beloved by
your master or employer; make it your '
business to see to and promote his interest;
by taking care of his you will learn to
take care of your own. Young men at
the present day are too fond of getting rid
ol work. They seek for easy and lazy
employ merits, and frequently turn out poor
miserable vagabonds. ou must avoid all |
wishes to live without iabor; labor is a
blessing instead of a curse; it makes your
food clothing, and every oilier tiling nec
essary, and frees you from temptation to
be dishonest.
Tin „Y cw Cent Pieces. —The new cent
piece recently finished at tiie United Slates
Mint, Philadelphia, is the size of the old
half cent, and is composed of 57 parts of
nickel and one of zinc. It lias a light ap
pearance, with a faint red tint, and is in
beautiful contrast with the American sil
ver and gold pieces, and will not as the
old cent did, tarnish them by contact.—
The weight ol the new cent is only sev
enty-two grains; that of the present eojiper
cent is one hundred and sixty-eight.
MA ICE TO YOUNG LADIES.
A young man admires a pretty girl, and
must manifest it; he cannot help doing so
for the life of him. Toe young lady has
tender heart, reaching out like vine ten
drils tor something to cling to; she sees the
admiration, is flattered, begins to love, ex
pects some avowal, and perhaps gets so
tar as to decide that she will choose a
white satin under a thin gauze, at the very
moment the gallant she loves is popping
the question (good ! ha ! ha !) to another
damsel ten miles oft. Now, the difficulty
is, not precisely understanding the'differ
ence ! etween polite attentions and the ten
der manifestations of tender love. Adini- 1
ring a beautiful gir! and wi-hing to make
a wife of her are not always the same:
and, therefore, it i-, necessary that a gtri
should be on the alert to discover to which
class the attentions paid her bv a handsome
and gay young gentleman belong. First,
then, it a fellow greets you in a loud, free,
hearty voice; if he knows precisely where
to put iiis hat, or his hands: it lie stares
you straight in the eye with his own wide
open ; if he tells you who made his coat;
if he squeezes your hand; if iie fails to
talk very kindly to your mother; if he
sneezes when you are singing, or criticises
your curls, or fails to be verv foolish iu
fifty ways in every hour, then don't fall in
love with him for the world; he only ad
mires you, let hun do or say what he will.
COMPLIMENT TO PRINTERS.
John C. Rives, of \\ ashinglon, in a re
cent published letter on the subject of pub
lic printing, has a word ol suggestion to
writers lor the press, and a compliment to
the compositor, whose duty it not unfre
quently is to make good sense out of very
senseless rhicography. None but?, writer
for the press can comprehend how much
truth there is in the veteran printer's re
in irks. Many members oi Congress—;.n I
oncn not a few greater men—must have
been surprised at the respectable figure
they cut in print, without thinking of the
toilsome labor and the exercise of the bet
ter talent than liieir own which had been
expended by the journeyman printer in
putting into good shape the message or le
port of a speech furnished them. Mr.
Rives says: •• 1 have seen the manuscript
writing of most great men of the country
during the past twenty years, and I think
I may say that not twenty of them could
stand the test ol one halt the journeymen
printers employed in nn office. This fact
will be vouched by every editor in the
I num. To a poor journeyman printer
inanv a great man owes his reputation for
scholarship; and were the humble com
positors to resolve, by contract, to set up
manuscripts in tin ir hands—even lor one
little week—precisely as it is written by
the authors, there would be more reputa
tions slaughtered than their devils eou'd
shake a stick at in twentv-four hours.—
Statesmen would become 'small bv degrees,
and beautifully less.' Many an ass would
have the lion's skin torn from his limbs.
Men, whom the world calls writers, would
wake up mornings and find themselves—
famous as mere pretenders—humbugs and
cheats.''
LITTLE RULES.
Cut lemon and orange peel, when fresh,
into a bottle kept full of brandy. This
brandy gives a delicious flavor to pies,
cakes, Ke. Rose leaves may be preserved
in brandy. Peach leaves steeped in it
make an excellent seasoning for custards
and puddings.
Keep a bag for old pieces of tape and
strings and a hag or box for old buttons.
A little salt sprinkled in starch, while
boiling, prevents its sticking; it is also good
to stir it with a clean sperm candle.
Green tea is good to restore rusty silk.
It should he boiled in iron—a cupful! to
three quarts. The silk should not he
wrung, but ironed damp.
Lime sifted through coarse muslin, and
stirred pretty thick with the white of an
egg. makes a strong cement for glass or
China. Plaster of Paris pulverized, is
still better, and should be stirred by the
spoonful as it is wanted.
When the stopper of a glass decanter is
too light, a cloth wet with hot water and
applied to the neck will cause the glass to
expand, and the stopper may easily be re
moved.
Glass cylindrical vessels may be cut in
two, by tying round them a woolen thread
wet with spirits of turpentine, and then i
setting fire to the thread.

EXTRAVAGANCE OF DRESS.
lis Effects upon the Market. —ln the
city of Belgium extravagance has assumed
such alarming proportions that the ladies
themselves have been obliged to combine
for the purpose of arresting its disastrous
progress. It appears that extravagance
had been for some years a source of con
straint in families ; and it was noticed no
marriages were contracted, since the voting
men, frightened at the bills that loomed up
in the distance, preferred to live in celiba
cy. The mothers, recognizing the incon
venience ola state of affairs encouraged
by themselves, have resolved to bring about
a salutary reform, and with ilus view they
have formed a committee which meets once
a week. They have declared open war

This example was followed bv all the

M. M. FAXON'S
.Attachment of Vulcanized India Rubber
Spring to the Tubes oj Grain Drills.
f p.lE urn!- rsigned. having perfected an arrangement fur
-L she attachment of a Gum Spring To the Tubes ami
i Drag liars of Grain Drills, is happy to inform Farmers
i and all others interested in the growing of Wheat and
other grains, thai he is prepared to furnish GRAIN
, DRII.LS, with the above article attached,at the shortest
notice, at his Foundry, in McVeytown, Pa. Seeders have
become an almost indispensable article to the Fanner,
and he will find that the attachment of the Gum Spring
! will enhance its value at least one-half. All the deten
mm and trouble caused by the breaking of wooden pins
is entirely done away with by this arrangement, and a
man. or boy, can perform nearly double the labor that he
, could under the old plan, with much greater ease, both to
himself and horses. There need be no fear of the Spring
breaking, for if there is an article that will neither break,
rot, or wear out, tlie Gum spring is that article, and I
hazard nothing in saying that my Grain Drill is the sim
plest in construction, most economical in performance,
ami therefore the most durable ever offered to the agri
! cultural public. The feed is so arranged that it will sow
1, 11, if, I{, and 2 bushels per acre. Persons desiring
one for the coming seeding are requested to send in their
orders as early as possible. Direct to McVeytown, Mif
flin county, Pa, or F G. FRANCISCTS, Lew is town ;
K. 1.. FAXON", Hollidaysburg, Blair co., Pa.; BOYER &.
BRO., Ilarrisburg, Pa., who are authorized to act as
agents, and from whom any further information may
allied.
PRICE OF DRII.I.S. with the attachment, #75. Far
niois who already have drills, can have them altered,and
the hull 1 Rubber Spring attached, for from $lO to sls.
All branches of the FOUNDRY BUSINESS still
carried on, for which orders are respectfully solicited.
