FROM BLACKWOOD'S LADY'S MAGAZINE , A great number of persons who know the celebrated Dr. B a 'professor of the Col lege of Surgeons, haVe often heard him relate the following anecdote:-- "One day that he had procured the bodies of two criminals, who had been hung, for the purpose of anatomy, not being able to find the , key of the dissecting-room at the moment the two subjects were brought, he ordered them to be deposited in an apartment ,contiguous to his bedroom. During the evening Dr. B—wrote and read as usual previous to retiring to rest. The clock had just struck one, and all the family slept soundly, when all at once, a dull sound proceeded from the room containing the bodies. ' 38 00 60 00 Thinking that perhaps the cat had been shut up there by mistake, he went to see whit could be the cause of the unexpected noise. What was his astonishment, or rath er his horror, on discovering that the seek which contained the bodies was torn asunder; and on going nearer, he found that one of the bodies was missing! The doors and windows had been fastened with the greatest care, and it appeared im possible that the body could have been•stolen. The good doctor appeared rather nervous on remarking this, and it was not without art uneasy sensation that he began to look about him, when to his horror and amazement he perceived the missing body sitting upright in a corner. Poor Dr. B—, at this unexpected appa rition became transfixed with terror which was increased by observing the dead and sunken eyes or the corpse fixed upon . him; .which ever• way he moved, those dreadful eyes still followed him. The worthy doctor, more dead than alive, now began to beat a quick retreat, without, however, losing sight of the object of his ter rot; he retreated step by step, one hand hold ding the candle, the other extended in search of the door, which he at .length gained; but there is no escape, the spectre. has. risen and followed him, whose livid features, added to the lateness of the hour and the stillness of the night seem to conspire- to deprive the poor doctor of the little courage he has left; his strength fails, the candle falls from his hand, and the terrible scene is now in corn plete darkness. -' The good doctor has, however, gained his apartment„ and thrown himself on his bed; but the fearful Spectre has still followed him —it has caught and seized hold of his feet with both hands. As this climax of ter ror the doctor' loudly exclaimed, "Whoever you are, leave me !" At. this the spectre let go his hold, and moaned feebly these words: "Pity, good hangman - I have pity on me ! Thegood doctor now discovered the myste ry, and regained by little and little his com posure. He explained to, the criminal, who had so narrowly escaped death, who he was, and' prepared to call up 'some - of his family,, "Do . yeu, then, wish to destroy me'?" ex claimed the criminal. "If I am discovered, my adventure will become public, and I shall_ be brought to- the scaffoldra Second time. In the name of humanity save me from death. The good doctor then rose and procured a light; he muffled 'his unexpected - Visitor in an Old dressing gown; and having made him take some restoring cordial, testified a de. sire to know what crime brought him to the i - • scaffold. , - He•was a deserter. • The good doctor did• not 'well know what 'means to employ to'Save the poor creature: lie Could not keep hirn in his house, land to loin, him out would be to expose him to cer-- tain•death: The only way, - then,' was-to get him into the countrY; •so having made him .dress himself in some.old clothes, which the kind doctor selected from -his wardrobe, be left'tOWn early, accompanied by his protege; whom he represented asan assistant in a dif ficult case upon which he had been called When they had got into the open country the wretched creature threw himself at the fnet of his. benefactor and, liberator, to whoth he swore eternal gratitude; and the generous doctor,having relieved his wants by a small sum of money:, the-grateful creature left him with ninny blessings and prayers for happi ness., • About twelve years after 'this occurrence Dr. bad occasion to visit Amsterdam. Having gone one . -day to the • bank ; he was accosted by,,a •well dressed' man—one who bad been pointed ,out to . him :as one of the most opulent merchants of the city. • The merchant asked him politely. if he was not doctor B—, of 'London, and On.'his answering him in the affirmative,' pressed him to-dine at his house: which -invitation the worthy doctor accepted. On:arriving at the merchant's house, he w.as shown _into an HUNTINGDON, FEBRUARY 28. 1855. elegant aparment, where a most charming woman and two lovely children welcomed him in the most friendly' manner; which re ception surprised him the more, coming from persons he had never before net. After dinner the merchant having taken him into - his counting-house seized his hand, and having pressed it with friendly warmth, said to him,— "Do you not recollect me'?" "No," said the doctor. "Well; then, I remember you well, and your features will never be obliterated from my memory—for to you I owe my life. Do you not remember the poor deserter 1 On leaving you I went to Holland. Writing a good hand, and being a good accountant, I soon obtained a situation as clerk in a mer chant's office. My good conduct and zeal soon gained for me the confidence and zeal of my employer and the affections of his daughter. When he retired from business, I succeeded him, and became his son-in-law ; bnt without you, without your generous as sistance, I should not have lived to.enjoy so much happiness. Generous man ! consider henceforth my house,!my fortune, and myself as wholly your's." The kind doctor was .affected even to tears; and both these happy beings participated in the most delightful expression of their feel ings which were soon shared by the mer chant's interesting family who came to join them. Petrified Euman Bodies-8 Veritable Wonder Mr. George Lane, who-has charge of the "Woodland Cemetery," near this city, was called upon, the other diy, by Mr. G. P. Loy who resides about three mile'S southeast of Germantown, in this county, to move the re mains of his first wife, a grand child, and and other bodies, from a family burying ground upon his farm, and inter them in his lot in the "Germantown Cemetery." --The burying ground was made many years ago, upon the site of a little bill, in a field some distance from the residence of Mr. L., in ac cordance with the custom in the Miami Val ley-in that day, when almost every proper ty-holder had a burying ground upon his farm. _ "The first grave °permed was that of Mr. Loy's first wife who was interred about twen ty-four years ago. On reaching 'the coffin ; it was found to be perfect—at least to ap pearance—and the men proceeded to unearth it, and raise it to , the mouth of the grave.— This they soon ascertained to be a 'difficult task, and the, small force ,engaged at it was compelled to procure assistance., The earth at this time was completely taken from around the coffin, and removed from under the coffin, as far as it could be reached, but still it was found difficult to even move it. The assistance of six men was at length obtained, and it required all the strength they were in possession of,to raise the coffin from its bed, and place it upon the ground by the side of the grave ! It was supposed, by those engaged in the disinterment, that The coffin was filled with water, on account of its ex treme heaviness, but after it. was taken from the grave, it was measurably dry, and no signs• of water could be discovered. The lid was then, with difficulty removed, when it was ascertained that the body was in an excellent state of preservation. Upon a close examination it was found that the remains would not give way under the pressure of a piece of board which otte of the gentlemen placed upon , the corpse ; and this strange cir cumstance led to • still further investigation. The shroud; and, indeed, all the covering which. was upon the bodY, 'at the time Of in terment,, twenty-four years ago, had disap peared—not a -vestige of them remained:—. The body was perfect, ' . except the right leg, ' from the knee to -:the -ankle.•joint, where the flesh Seemed' to have wasted away, and lay at the bottOrn of the coffin in "a substance re sembling sand. With this exception of de cay, the body and limbs exhibited the same perfectness of , exterior they did . when life and animation were in the body. The body, indeed, had been petrified ! It was by some strange quality of the earth and other causes of, which we can form no conjecture, turned into stone of a drab, or more properly, speaking, flesh color ; and the chisel of the artist might imitate, but could, not make,so close a resemblance of the "hu man form &Tine." The smile which lighted np.her countenance at the •moment when ,deathgently untied the cord' which bound the soul to clay, still seemed to linger upon the face of stone ! The light of the eye was gone, and. they were sunken—but• from the sightless orbs, the soul seemed to look out up on those who.were viewing with astonishnient that human form of ,stone. - The grave, of the grandchild of Mr. Loy w'as,next 'entered, and, the coffin exhumed.— It was also found to be heaVy, and when opened, the corps •presented, much the same appearance as that of 'Mrs...:Lay. It was not as perfect,however, althOgh petrified. The body and limbs had• about the same appear- ance they had in life, but the exterior bad lost its' life like color. The most remarka ble thifig connected witit4he remains of the child was, that the hair upon the petrified skull was to all appearance the same as life. Mr. Lape clipped a small ringlet from the crown and tied it into a knot. The other bodies - which were exhumed—one or two in number—were only partly petrified, and were mostly decayed.—Dayton Empire. If I Had Wealth! It is_ a frequent feeling, if not utterance, "Oh if I had wealth, how much pleasure it would afford me to contribute largely to all benevolent and religious objects l") To one thus expressing himself, an aged Christian replied : I am not quite so sure of that, and that for several reasons : First, You do not seem to realize that God demands a charity commensurate with what we have, and not with that which we have not ; -and hence, if we do not come up to this real standard, it is not probable that we would to an imaginary one. - Second, It is. the willing heart which is most'-'.commendable in the sight of God ; and if the heart refuses when our means are small, it is vain to excuse our delinquency by a premise -of generosity in circumstances which may never occur. Third, You forget that, by God's blessing the mite of the poor may go much farther than the affluent gifts of the rich. Fourth, If the love of Christ does not im pel Us to show our, attachment to Him under one arrangement of circumstances, what warrant have we to believe that it will be come influential in a different position ? Arid, Fifth, Charity is like a plant, which must be cultivated before it will grow. If we ao not then begin early to give it our at tention, it will die out. To postpone giving until we can give lar,geiy is equivalent to an indefinite postponement. The lust of accu mulation is 'moat' unfriendly to the growth of charity ; if our charity be reluctant when we are poor, it will not likely be very prompt when we grow rich.

The Virginian was particularly denunciatory ,Of Jefferson. "Why said he, "just .thick of . a'rnan like Torn Jefferson running for Presi dent. Ele's art old fool, besides being an in fidel, and a Bible burner. The' country is sure to go to ruin if such an infernal old scoundrel is elected President. The companion of our Candid friend nod ded acquiescence in all he was,listening to. Finally, the denouncer of Jefferson observed, as they, reached a part of the road where they were to seperate 7 --"No .v stranger, I've given you my opinion of the old cuss. and Pm glad you agree with me. May Ibe so bold as to ask Your name 1" "My name? :Oh that's of no account• But if it will afford you any ,gratification, t will tell you.: It is Thomas Je f ferson,. !"

CURE TOR Et/ANS.—The American Ag riculturalist says, "of all, applications for a burn, , we believe there are none equal to a simple covering of common wheat _flour.— This is alwayeat-hand, and while it requires no skill in using, it produces the most aston ishing effects. The moisture produced upon the surface of a slight or deep burn, is at once absorbed by the flour, and forms a paste which shuts out the air. As long as the-flu id matters continue flowing, they are ab sorbed and thus presented from irritation, as they would do if kept from passing off by oily or resinous application, while the great er.the amount of these , absorbed by the flour the thicker the protecting covering. Anoth er advantage of the flour , covering is that next to the surface it is moist and flexible. It can also be readily washed off, without further irritation in moving. It may be oc casionally washed off very carefully when it has became Matted and dry, and a new cov ering bc sprinkled on. The Farmer's some What signify all the improvements in ag ricultural processes, which are constantly urged upon the acceptance of farmers, if the farmer's Home is not what it ought to bel ... Deep cultivation, draining, drawing, ditch ling, mulching, cbmposting, &c., are all im • portant, as a means; but the proper end to be accomplished is not the multiplication of dol ars and cents—not the laying up in store of "much goods ;" but the most desirable of all earthly ultirriates, a pleasant, attractive, happy Home. The farmer's Home should not be so much his castle, as his sanctuary. Over its thresh hold, disorders and discontents should never be allowed to step. Harmony, order, love and peace, as well as plenty, should reign within the farmer's abode, Making it a para dise, as little marred by gross and corrupting desires as may be ; where the intellect, the taste, and the affections may seek and find their appropriate and full gratification.— What desolation, nay, what wants abound within those walls, where merely animal desires are cloyed with. material profusion, to the exclusion of that higher food of the spiritual nature, which is, in fact,:tbe "bread of life !" There, the physical -- rn'an may grow and fatten, and rejoice ; ; in its ease, and its indolence, with a scat _orPorcine satisfac tion; while the inner life, the manhood, the God-spark, faints, tarnishes, - and dies. The fields are the places where the head, aided by the strong arm, should triumph in material achievements. In the true Home, the heart, aided by the head, should emulate ihe industry of the bee, in. storing its trea sures, and like the treasury of the bee, those of the human Home should be of honeyed sweetness. Wealth may build palaces to shelter gilded misery. Poverty, by making a true home in an unpretending cottage, hallows itself, and shames the power of gold. It is astonishiag with what facility the cul tivated spirit changes even material objects into high spiritual individualities. A tree, a shrub, a flower, nay, a stone, may have its history—a history, the recital of which shall palpitate the listener's heart with joy, or t .to 0bJe....4.-cafine3tlmzil Jr. on_; .tcP objects, (only so, perhaps, to our thinking,) may speak a language, which the heart shall hear, and feel, and answer. Around the true home, sacred as were held the household du ties of olden times, cluster these objects of man's msthetic nature. They make him bet ter, happier and wiser; opening up to him, even here, a manifold life and enable him In read•serrtions in stones, and to behold good in everything. - • Verily, we are sorry to say it, but so it is, verily, the farmer's Rome needs improvement more than his plow-shares, his thresher, or his reapers. It needs more than improve ment 3 it demands a new creation, fashioned on a plan of such beauty arid harmony, that it may be a temple worthy to be tenanted by beings .who have spirits as well as bodies.— Then,' what follows in the way of even un limited improvement in modes of material production, will be of tire utmost importance, for the farmer's Home will be NS' hat it ought to be.--Ohio Farmer.

ATMT - _ 1 N O. , Novel Law Suit, A somewhat romantic suit ,at law has just been terminated in Franklin County.. Yt seem that one John Lescher became Tierced With the arrow of cupid, and, wishing to heal: the wound by lawful wedlock, he made pre, posals to the object of his affections, it seems, she received favorably; but the fa, ther, Mr. Jacob Wyant,being a prudent man, of, much foresight, required the said John Lescher to enter into bonds of five hundred dollars, conditioned that the said John-Les cher should live with hi's' wife and treat her . as a kind and affectionate husband should do; but the parties, after living together some months, 'separated, and this suit was brought to recover tire amount of the bond. The case was first tried at the, last April term of ttie Franklin Court, when Judge Kimmel decided the bond to be invalid. The 'case was car ried to the Supreme Court, and it was deci ded that the bond "was good and valid, and in accordance with the law." The case, therefore, came up again -in the Franklin county courts, when the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff of $979 16. The result of this suit may give a valuable suggestion to anxious fathers whose daughters are sought as partners at the alter, and an imitation Of Mr. Wyant's forethought would show a pru dent concernier their daughter's welfare.— Carlisle (Pa.) Democro; Gone Fight over It. I have a friend, whose ready wit often en livens the social circle ; and sometimes also faithfully serves the cause of truth. One Sabbath morning, as he stepped from his house to go to church, he met a stranger driving a heavily loaded wagon through the town. He turned upon him, stopped, lifted both hands, and stood in a tragic attitude, ga zing upon the ground beneath the vehicle and exclaimed : "There !—you are going right over it ! You have gone right over !" The traveller hastily gathered up his reins, drew in his horses, came to a dead stand, and began looking under his, wheels to see what little innocent child, or dog, or pig, might have been ground to a jelly by their heavy weight. But the nothing, he looked anxiously up to the man who had go singularly arrested his progress, , and said, irjle_Sciath ommandment,' was the quick reply-- .ttememoor - Tnerlua, bath day to keep it holy."

City Fact sass that one of the most pleasing things exhibited at their late County Fair, was a lot of brook trout artificially bred by Drs. Garlic and Ackley, whose labors in this line, we have heretofore noticed. They showed several broods of fish in different stages of growth, and have de monstrated that it is just as easy to grow fish as fowls, or any other description of food.— We hope all agricultural societies will take a hint from this, and offer premiums for such a show of fish as will best illustrate the fact to farmers that they can grow the cheapest food ever Produced for man upon their farms whereever they have natura 1 water, or Can make artificial ponds. Let us have the pre miums "for, the best show of fish artificially produced-upon any farm." It is a matter of very serious consideration, when fresh fish sells here at the same price per pound of beef, pork and mutton.
