Mr. sjeward'a VUIt to tho Went. This Is Mr. Seward's first visit to the "furthest" West, with whose history he has lieeu so intimately associated during his long political career. He was the fore most champion twenty years ago, in the great struggle which secured California for freedom, and guaranteed her against slave ry, and the great speech which be deliver ed in the Senate on "California and Free, ilom" will never be forgotten by anybody who heard It, or who -has rend it. His labors at that time not only secured Cali fornia for frerdora, but the whole ol the vast territory west of the Rocky Mountains. He had previously visited Kansas, wbo?e bat tles ha also fought and won during the crisis of her existence. What a wonderful retrospect will be that of the veteran states man as be passes through regions which have now grown to great Stales, but whose fortunes be shaped in their infancy.

One of the most remarkable Instances of rostored animation, sajs the New York Sun f the 2d Inst., wbich has ever taken place in that city, occurred on Sunday night in Varick street, notr MeDongal, the particu lars of which are ts follows: An aged lady raroed Rebecca TownscnoA who bad been ailing for several weeks, ex pin'd, as was supposed, on Sunday morn ing. That she rally was dead Do one who saw her for a niooeat hesitated to belelve. Tho set eyeballs, the rigid limbs and the apparent cessation of respiration, all point- ed to the supposid fact that death had come to the relief of tie Invalid. ' , Accordingly, o Sunday the sorrowing household, acting on this belief, commenc ed making prepirations for the burial of tho body. A biTial permit was obtained, a coffin ordered, and the remains were tem porarily laid oul upon the bed In which the old lady was supposed to have died, and the services of watcher (a young female residing in a neighboring house) were se cured to ottcna tho body during Sunday night. About 11 o'clock on Sunday evening, the members of the household retired, leaving the walcber alone to her disagreeablo task. As the young lady status, she became drow sy about 2 o'clock in tho morning, an en sconcing herself in ao arm chair, a short distance frem the corpse, soon fell into a do7. She had not slept nbovo an hour, when alio was aivuli'-'uud by a low, moaning sound, which apparently issued from the couch Hjon which lay the supposed corpse. Startled by the sirvige nois", fie w atelier immediately sprang Iroui her chair, and - proacbed Hie bed for the purpose i f nscoi laining the pause of the mystei inns nmnds. At this moment the noi so suddenly crused. There lay the corpse just s tho watcher had left it one hour before, tho eyes still in death, the limbe still ri;i 1, and not a sigu of life visiMe. Believing the sounds which she fancied s!ie had heard were but fancies conjured up hy the ur.cjuifjitablfl position in which alio was ulas;d, tho watcher returned to her seat and resumed her nap. fcao had not reninined in thisposilioa tnoi o than half an hour when she was ncrain aroused by a sound similar lo thosa which had previous ly alarmed he:. Agaiti Bhe sprung from her chair and approached the bedside, when, oh horror of horrorsl her eyes met the wan- derlntr enze oftbe supposed corpse. Could it be possible that she was dreaming? She passed her hands to her eyes to convinco herself that sho did not sleep. Slowly the exsa nl tbo rpse commenced rolling in their sockats, the muscles ot the face relax ed, the jaws contracted, and us the filmy eyeballs rested upon tho countenance of the appalled wattuer, they appeared to entreat the woman to come lo ber relief. Horror riveted the watcher to tho spot. sue aHempieu lo scream lor assistance, uuj her tongue refused ber ulleraucc. As sha continued to gnzo upon the living corpse. he arms began to move and the right band was slowly lifted to the mouth as if tho corpse implored drink. The .'corpse next commenced assuming an upright position, and, finally, alter an effort of several min utes, sat bolted upright in bed. This last movement proved too much for the nerves of the fright-stricken watcher. and staggering from the bedside, she fell fainting on the floor. The noise occasioned by the fall awoke the inmateB of the house who hastened to the room. Tbero sat the woman still up' right in bed, at the foot of which lay the convulsed form of the terror-strickeu watcher. Discovering tee elate ruH'airft, tbo bntie - bold immediately diBpatcbod a netvant lor the nearest physician, wbo shortly alter arrived upou tbo Bcenn, and by due ppllea. lion of restoratives, succeeded in reviving tbe supposed corpse sullioieutly lo enable her to respire freely. The watcher, by tbe administration of tbo proper restoratives, was after much difflcultyj also restored to consciousness, but ber nerves rcceivtd a shock which will probably tell upon her constltut.oi unlil n.T dying day. She avows she will never ogaiu serve as a watcher ol a corpse, and no wond T at it. Philadelphia is thronged with Knights Templar from nil sections of the country.
