Jigt of Improvement Cvre.for
a broken JStck!! Dr. Harrison,
of London, has published a letter
iu the Lancet, in vihich he states,
that 'more than 30 years since,
on taking my evening walk, 1
heard cries of help, at a short dis
tance. I ran to the spot, and
saw a man lying on "the ground.
A horse was standing near, and
the by-standers said the man had
just fallen and broken his neck.
He was, apparently, quite dead.
1 placed my knees against his
shoulders, and grasping his chine
and the back of the head firmly
between my hands, proceeded to
stretch his neck with all my
strength. The patient immedi
ately moved his bmb; in two or
three minutes raised himself from
the ground, stared vacantly, re-
j mounted his horse and rode home,
i a distance of nine miles." The
j Doctor mentions two i
Glances, in which life has
other in-
been re-
stored by the same means, under
! similar circumstances. In on of
; the cases meniioned, dislocation
! was produced by a lady.
We can see no reason why thi-
I . ..
to occur upon the dislocation of
events, the experiment is worthy
of a trial, which any one should
have presence of mind enough to
give, if occasion offer.

which, after some altercation, he
did, and gaye up his papers, Sic.
' they offered him no violence
escorted him through a part of
the town, with various expressions
j in reference to Lynch Law, tar
and feathers. &C. Thev cmirr
ana learners, occ. cc. i nev con
ducted him to the west end of the
town, and upon his earnest solicit
ation not to injure him, and pro
mises not to be engaged here iu
the like business again, they let
him go without inflicting any in
jury on him.
He stated that he was an agent
for the Philanthropist, Liberator,

possession, together w ilh copies of
the "Anti-Slavery Record," with

Shocking Murder We Iim c
various veibal at counts ol a iik si
fiendish outrage committee jn
Randolph, in Orange county,, a
few days since, all of which concur
substantially in the follow ing par
ticulars: A Mr. Peake, between
twenty and thirty years, of age,
who resided with his father, an
elderly gentlemen, in low circum
stances, was engaged to a young
lady in the vicinity, and was to
have been married in a few days.
His mother-in-law was oppoied
lo the union, and the contemplated
residence of the couple widi the
young man's parents. One morn
ing last week the old lady got
breakfast for the family, the prin
cipal dish of. which consisted of
"hash." Her husband, hi s son
and two daughters, eat of it, the
son quite freely; and soon after
they all became sick. The young
man complained first, when the
old lady, anxious to ensure the
work of destruction, advised, hint
to take some pearlash and water,
which she prepared for him. On
taking the tumbler, be raised it to
his nose, and told her it had the
same smell as the "hash" he had
just eat, and he suspected it was
poisonous. Refusing to drink
the infernal decoction, she asked
for the tumbler; but he was deter
mined to hold on to it, and sent
for a physician. On his arrival it
was soon ascertained that the
hash and water in the tumbler,
were highly charged with arsenic.
The young man grew worse rap
idly , and finding that he could not
be relieved, made his will, be
queathing all his property (about
$"1500) to his intended wife, and
lied before night. It is said that
the old gentleman has since -died,
and the recovery of one of the
girls was considered doubtful.
On beitig arrested and examined,
Mrs. P. confessed her crime, and
w as committed to jail for trial in
December. Such horrible atro
cities occur but rarely in our.
state. fVordstocc Vt.) Courier.

Trouble in Haverhill. Last
evening (Sunday) Mr. May, th
abolitionist lecturer, attempted to
hold forth in Haverhill, Mass.
At the hour of assembling, the
meeting house was filled with

lecturer commenced his discourse
when a volley of stones and light

through the windows into the pul

who immediately dispersed. A
piece of ordinance w as bought
upon the spot, probably to. fright
