    indeed, of the mesmeric influence, wee now found
in the vibratorystnivement of the tongue, when
ever.l addreescd 11f. Velaemar a -question. He
seemed to be making in effort at reply, but had
no longer sufficient volition. To queries put to
him by any other person than invself he seemed
utterly insensib7e—althongh I endeavored to place
each member of the company in mesmeric rap
port with him .
. I believe that I have now related
all that is ne cessary to an .understanding of the
illeep-waker's state at this epoch. Other nurses
were procuired ; and at ten o'clock I 141 the house
in company with the two physicians and Mr.
In the afternoon we all called again to see the
patient. His condition remained precisely the
same. We had now mime discussion as to the
propriety end feasil;ility of awakening him; but
'rye had little dialculty iu agreernethat no good
purpose ',would be served by 'so doing. It was
evident . that, so far, death (or what is usually
termed_death) had been arrested by the mesmeric
Feces& It seemed clear to us all that to avialien
M. Valdemar would be-merely to insure his in-
staut, or at least his speedy, dissolution.
From this period until the clove of last week—
an interval of 2icarlg seven tnenthx—we continued -
to make daily-calls at M: Valdeniar's house, ac
-- companied, now and then, by medical and other
friends: All this time the sleep-waker remained
exactly as•l have last described him. The nurses
attentions tvere continual.
It Was on Friday'last that we finally resolved
to make the experiment of awakening, or ettempt ,
log to awaken him; and is the (perhar) unfor
tunate result of this cutter experiment winch has
given" rise to so much diseus,don in, private •rir
cles—to so much of what I cannot. help thinking
unwarranted popular Feeling.
For the purpose of relieving M. Valientar twin
the - mesmeric trance, I made tFoii of the customary
passes. These, for a time, were unsoceessful.—
, The Grit indiCation of re‘ival was 'afforded by a
partial descent of the iris. It was oligerved, as
especially remarkal I that tkisMow •ii tg of the
pupil Was accompanied by the.proftpie out-flowing
• of a yellowish idiot. (.from beneath the lids) of a
ipungent and highly offensive odor..
It was now suggested that I should attempt to
Influence the patient's arm, as heretofore. I Made
the attempt and failed. Dr. F----then intima
ted a desire to have me put a_question. I did so
as-follows:
.M.:-tialdemar, can y( a explain' to ua what
irre.youifeelings-or wishes now r
There was instant return of the hectic circles
otrthe cheeks the tongue tiirtvered, or rather rol
led violently in the mouth (although the jaws anti
lips remained rigid as htfore and at length the
same hideous voice which . I have' tilteady descri
bed, broke forth : '
'For God's sake l—quiLk l—quick f—put me to
sleep—or, goick !—wake me!—qlica! sad fu
youliat I ant dead!'
I reds thoroughly unnerved, and for an instant
remained undecided what to Jo. At first I mode
en endeavor to re-compose the patient; but. fall
imin this through total abeyance of the will. I
retraced steps and as earnestly struggled to
wreak& him. In this attempt I soon saw that .1
should he successful—Or at least I soon fancied
that my specess would be complete—and I am
sure thatlall in the room were prepared to see the,
:Patient awaken.
- .
For what really occurred. however, it is quite
icopossible that any human tieing could have been
prepared: . •
As I rapidly made the mesmeric 'passes, amid
ejaculations of 'dead ! dead !' absolutely bursting
from thetangue and not from - the 'lips of the-suf
ferer,lais whole' frame at once—within the space
ca'-a single minute, rmeven less—blirunk—crum
bled--gtheolutedy rotted away beneath my hands.
Upon the bed, before that whole company, there
lay a nearly liquid mass of loatkeseine--of detes
table putrescence..
The following shocking Narrative is siren in . a
recent number of the Louisville Journal—we can
scarcely credit its truth :
Maarten. Lturmsrvirr.—On Thursday even
ing we heard a narrative, which although strictly
end certainly true, seemed' 'to us to transcend all
the fabled horrors narrated by Eugene Sue.
About ten years ago a lunatic of Monticello, in
this State, was sent by hie family to the- Lunatic
Asylum at Lexington. On his arrival at that in
etitution., or shortly afterwards, he appeared '-so
calm and rational, that the superimendaut or man-
agent sent him home. At home he 'became vio
lent, and his family determined to clivoee of him
matthat he should trouble them no longer. Acciar-
Jingly. they built near their own' residence. a very
_ Small and strong block-bouia, and around that an
other, thus:ea:airing a double block-house. They
left a neiroeisipening,through which they thrust
' the lunatiessid, when he was in, they built up
the openbag,- leaving a little orifice just large e
nouge toluiinit of his food being extenaJd to him.
And in that ,horrid . prisori, for ten long years of
Aeat enilcold, the wretched lunatic has been kept
by his own family; with no bed-clothes, no.fire,
and wallop of escape, except through the,gateof
death.
Exo -OF 'A krarsrEnr.—The New YU:A Tri
bonitof Thursday' states that Althur Morrell,
who recently disappea,rer . l very suddenly in New
York. attended the Mayor's office, on Wednesday
• oto explain." Here is his story :
All the explanation 'that either M.
,Morrel or
hisdriend can is; that they attended the
.Chatham Theatre together, and at 10 o'clock went
into the saloon and stood by the fire. They left
in a few minutes. both bring perfectly. sober;
when they got oJtside, Mr. Morrell offered to'ae
company his friendhome with his umbrella, which
offer he declined. He..then saw Mr. Murrell

/'-that was the list he saw of him. Mr. Morrell
told tha Mayor that he recollects everything that
occurred up to the time when they were standing

t'aing that happened after thakijue., •

are people who say that it is not worth while to
make good resolutions at the commencement of a (

amid the roai of I cemen and the spirit-stirring,
strains of martial music. Several of the volun
teer companies of the borough marched . through'
the streets with binds of.musie, and called upon
their officers, passing the compliments of the sea
son, at a little after midnight. From that, hour
until day-light the town was lively, although there
wa's nothing like disorder or riot in the streets.
The Marion Rifles, the Artillerists, and the
German Yagers, paraded in the morning. They
turned out in very respectable numbers and the
display was very fine. Pottsville military always
do appear well. •
The Port Carbon Artillerists, under the Com
mand of Capt. Atnand visited our borough, and
paraded with the Military of Pottsville. Their
soldier-like appeara l nce attracted general attention.

• TUE TAISIFT.L.-WIIT LOCOFOCOS OPPOSE IT I
We are freqUently asked why the Locofoco lead
eta oppoie the Tiirift That question is answered
io the folio ;ring:extract from an article in the
American Review and Whig Journsl. ..4:lt is to
the point: •
' ' , That (he country is to be convulsed- with a '
fresh anti-tariff crusade, is !inevitable. The sub
altern officers of thelicist Which triumphed in Mr.
Polk's election—the cspOris of fifties and tile
leaders of tens who, manufacture the public opin
ion of the party—will never rest Satisfied
base signalized theirvictory' by sonic decided at
tack on the nation's prosperity. • General Thrift
and contentment are to them sore' calamities.—
Let the
.people mainly be well employed, fairly
paid, satisfied with their condition, .and steadily,.
though moderately, improving their circumstan
ces—the more efficient buying land 'and building,
houses, svhile,even the huMblest are putting away
a trifle the savings hank or some cracked tea
pot against a rainy day—and your village dema
gogue dwindles into a very paltry insignificance-
What avails the dignity of a bar-room oracle, if
the laboring classes are at work . tieek-days, and at
'church on the Sabbath? 1 W ho so mad as to hope
ito' hold a locofocu majority, where the children
divide their secular hours between work and
and are constant at chureltand the Sunday ectioolt
Stony ground this fm. your Walkers, Ely Moores,
Davezacs 'and Dorrs.to work upon; they wili never
get back their seed. Let the great mass be quietly
at work,with plenty in their homes and God in their
hearts, and the oratorical dna:miens of 'Working
' men's Rights,' ,'the toiling millions,' and all that
will be driven' to the dire necessity ofgoing to
work themselves, instead of figuring and flourish
ing as tide-waiters, post-masters, contractors, e6t.,
on the strength of their asserted influence over the
people and the number of votes they control and
secure, to 'the party.'

As from hoicse unto house I did. ranee.

For a Newe'-hny to weep. fist you pleased me most
When you handed me out the change.

LOCOFOCOISM IN 1545
, If4hese views be correct, it remains to inquire
how far the Tariff Act of 1842 is consistent with
them.--Thit many of the provisions of that act
are in violation of the cardinal principles here
laid down, all must concede. The injustice and
inequality of the Act of 1842, in its practical
operations on different' classes and pursuits, are
seen and felt.'
Vide James K. Polk's Message to Congress.
1845.
• The present Tariff is unjust and unequal, as
well in 'iits details as in the principles upon which
it founded. It 4lisc , irninates in favor of •the
rich, aril against the poor. Let us, with revenue
dance only, open our ports to all the world.'
