The sensation of a seemingly dead per son, while confined in the cpffm, are, men tioned in the following case of trance; 'A young lady, an attendant on a Princess, after havinp been confined to her bed ior a great lengtn oi time with a vio lent nervous disorder, was at last, to all appearance, deprived of life. Her lips were quite pale, her face resembled the countenance of a dead person, and the body grew cold. She was removed from the room in which she died, was laid in a coffin, and the day of her funeral fixed on. The day arrived, and, according to the custom of the country-funeral songs and hymns were, sung befete the door. Just as people were about to nail down the lid of the coffin a kind of perspiratiou was observed to appear on the surface of. the body. It grewgrcaterevery moment, and at last a kind of convulsive motion was observed in the hands and feet of the corpse A few minutes after during which time fresh signs of returning life appear ed she at once opened her eyes, and ut tered a most pitable shriek. Physicians were quickly, procured, and in a few days he was considerably restored, and b pro bably alive at this day. The description which f he gave of her situation is remark able, and forms, curious and authentic ad- dition to pshypholcff-y She Said it seemed to her that she was really dead; yet she was perfectly con cious of all that happened around her in this dreadful state. She distinctly heard herfiiends speaking and lamenting hfr death' at the side of her coffin. She felt them pull on the dead cloths and lay here in them. This feeling produced a mental anixety which is indescribable. She tried to cry hut her soul was without power. anu could not act in her body. She had the contradictory feeling as if she were in the bodv yet not in it at one and the same tirne. It was equally impassible for her to stretch outlier arms, or to open her eyes, or to cry although she continually endeavored lo do so. The internal an guish of her mind was, however, at its ut most height when the lid of the colhn was aboutto be nailed down. The thought that she was to be buried aliv e was the one that gave activity to her mind and caused it to operate on her corporeal frame. Bin- ties on Alerp.

There they could enjoy the sea breeze in all us purity amuse themselves and improve their health by bathing have a free and un confined view of old Ocean, and find them selves in the midst of intllectual and refind society. There is on the spot an excellent tavern, kept by an obliging host, and every thing necessary to make the summer months pass agreeably. Old North Slate. REMEDY FOR HYDROPHOBIA. Dr. Heller, member of the Royal Acad emy of Medicine, Paris, lately communica ted to Ins society that m Greece it is a prac tice to observe the tongues of those persons who have been bitten br dogs, because at the end of eight or nine days there appear on each side of the tongue, and near the up per part, pustules called lyssen by the Greeks. These pustules contain the whole rabid matter, and if immediately tbey are cut out and the wounds cauterized, hydrophobia will be prevented. Old North State. A QUAINT SERMON. The following' has heretofore been ptio- lished, but it, is so good, it is time tu puff it afloat again. Mr. Dodd was a minister, who lived many years ago a few miles from Cam bridge, and having several times been preaching against drunkenness, borne of the Cambridge Scholars conscience, which is sharper than ten thousad wit nesses, being their monitor,) were very much offended, and thought he made re flections on them. Some little time after Mr. Dodd was walking towards Cam bridge, and met some of the townsmen, who, as soon as tbey saw him at a dis tance resolved to make some ridicule of him. As soon as he came up they ac costed him with "Your servants, sir V They asked him if he had not been preach inr against drunkenness very much of late ! He answered in the affirmative. They then told him they had a favor to beg of him, and it was that he would preach a sermon to them there, from n text they should choose. He afgued that it was an imposition, for a man ought to have some consideration before preach ing. They said they would not put nip with a denial, and insisted upon his preach ing immediately (in a hollow tree which stood by the road side,) from the word MALI. He tnen begun me crave your attention. 'Beloved, let I am a little man come a short distance to preach a short sermon from a short teM to a thin congregation in an unvorthy pul pit. Beloved, my text is Malt. I Cannot divide it into sentences, there being none nor into words there being but one ; I must therefore divido it into letters, which I find in my text to be these four, MALT. . M is Moral. A is Allegorical. L is Literal. T is Iheological. "ihe Moral is to teach vou rustics cood man ners; ilierUTi , M My masteis, A All of you, L Leave off", 1 Tippling." The Allegorical is, when one lhin is spoken of, and another meant. The thing spoken of is Malt. The thing meant is the spirit of Malt, which rustics make M Meat. A your Apparel. L your Liberty. T your Trust. 'The Literal is, according to the let ters, M Much, A Ale, L Little, T Trust." "The Theological is, according to the effects iis works, in some, M Murder, in others A Adultery, in all, Looseness of Life, and in many, T Treachery." "I shall conclude the subject ; First, by way of exhoration, M roy Masters, A All of you, L Listen, ' T To my Text. Second, by way of caution, M my Masters, A All of you, L Look for T the Truth, which is this: A drunk ard is the annoyance of modesty, the spoil of civility ; the destruction of rea son ; the robber's agent l the alehouse's benefactor; his wife's sorrow; his chil dren's trouble ; his own shame ; his neigh- bors scoff; a walkinrr swill howl : th.? nir. ture of a beast ; the monster of a man !" IRISH HUMOkT The New York Mirror gives a pleas ant sketch of a shrewd Irishman named Denni$ H. Doyle, who was many years ago a grocer and politician in New York. Dennis and his Irish friend were then op posed to the Tammany men, because the Tammany men were opposed to Clinton and the Canal. The followingr anecdotes illustrate Dennis's capacity; to fend off and give as good as was sent, when assail ed in a tender point : Dennis was invited to attend the cele bration of the opening of the railroad at achenectady, and at the dinner table he sat opposite the member of Assembly Irom Albany county. In the course of conversation, this gentleman said to him "I believe, Mr. Doyle," you have been for two or three years ast it leading member of the nominating committee atTummany flail r "I have, sure enough," replied Dennis, "and what of that?" "How comes it then," asked he, "that for the last two years, you have sent us such a fool as Mr.- T'Hie fellow has no brains he never opens his lips, and scarcely knows how to vote!" "Why," said Dennis, "we send him on thrne republican principles." "How so?" enquired bis friend. "Shure you know," replied Dennis, "the Constitution says, all clamies are to be fairly represented : and, faith I think, if we only send one fool out of thirteen members, lo represent all the folks in New York, we hardly do thetnjvsticeV' The answer was perfectly satisfactory : and some people are still of the Opinion that the sam t conatitutiomd requirement, has been adhered to by both parties even to this day !

"A better American than me ?" retorted the other, "how can you make that out ?" "Uh, asy enough," coolly replied Den nis; "did'nt I come into this country with a good coat, waistcoat, and leather bree ches on me; but by my soul, vou came I i'jo it without even a shirt to your back !" 4 . i it !4-riiB oaucjd.

Most ol our readers, we presume, are a- ware lliat John Smiley, of this town last vesr raised potatoes, as he says, from the fruit or bulbs of the gillillowtr. Many ware incredulous, as such a uhenoniiuon seemed lo be at war with the established laws ol vegitable physulogy, and the mat ter was much discussed iu various agricul tural papers, and some others. Mr Drew, of the banner, advocated the possibility ol such transformation and the veracity of Mr. Smiley. On the latter point there is no question. Mr. smiley and family are to be entirely depended upon, ss lar ss creoioiuty is concerned. The ouly ques tion is, can they all be mistaken, and are they sure that the potatoes did not grow either from Ihe seeds or tubers of the pota toe. They say there is no mistake, and few families are less likely to be deceived. But il potatoes can be produced in this way, the fact can be established by other experiments. Has any one else (Vied it? We hsve now in our office a specimen of the potato . p-osiu..., -rw hU vated by Mr. S.wiley the second year from the gilliflnwer. They sre of good 'size, snd the quulily is rather above that of the Che nango, which they considerably resemble.

Kennebec Journal. WONDElt OPIlORIICfLTUKE. Innumerable are the advantages which mankind have derived from the horticul turists. Few would suppose that i he beach (from which branches the necferines,) had us origin in the almond, or that the shad dock, the citron, the orange and the lem on, pruceded from the diminutive wild lime. Tnat favorite edible, celery springs from ss rank an acid root denominated sinellage, which grows on all s.des of ditches aud the neighborhood of the sea. Tne hazel nut was the ancestor ol philbet t and the cabunt, while Ihe lucious plum ha no higher source than that of Ihe sloe. From the sour crab issues the golden pippin and fhe pear and cherry originally grew in the (orest. The gaiden asparagus, which gows not very uncommonly in stony and g.ovcny situations near the sea, when growing spontaneously is a diminiiive plant, and none indeed but a prscliced eye, examining into ihe species which resr ed by artificial culture, can di'scern the least resemblance.

All seeds keep better in their vessels. but this can rarely be done, on account of the great spsce orcopird. As soon, there fore, as the pods of cabbage, turnips, red- isner, ecu turn orowr, snu a part oeeomn tlry, the stems should be cut and Isid on a cloth or Hour to dry, and afterwards thrash ed out and hung up in bags in some airy place. Lettuces should be pulled up with fhe roots, as soon as there is the least appearance of maturity, and hang up snd the plants will ripen all of their seeds, nearly at the same time. If left in the garden to ripen, Ihe earliest and best will be lost; in lact, except under very favora ble circumstances, very few will be ob- lamed, as evtry shower snd every strong') brecre will lessen the quantity and scatter those which ate nialurrd over the who!' garden. The same course should be pur sued with teelis and onions. It is a tre- merit upniion mat ine uusrt tquatn can not be perpetuated among us, ss such hue strong tendency to run, and will in una oi two seasons become a ine. This is a mistake, and originated no doubt, in It sat manner wf saving Ihe seed. If the first squashes which appear be retained for seed, there is no danger of the plant running the nest season; but if these be used and thoie which are borne at the extremis are pre served fof this purpose, they will run, and . moreover will be hter in bearing. Ta, have early fruit of either the squash, cu cumber, or melon, Ihe very fi(f should be preserved. South "grxcuUuralUt. The Oregon Committee ol Ohio have re cently published an address to the Eastern States, on this subject, in which, among ' other things, ihey ttll "the Eastern Peo pU frankly, that, whrtever may be the boundaries established on the Pacifie 0 rean, they exclude Great Britain-and however great may be their regard for the 'reaty-making power of Ihe Republic, all laws will be unable to restrain that impulst which impels our people perpetually tu rhe West which will overleap all boun daries and break down all barriers, with out regard to consequences to sustain ; which natural and national impulse, snd : now matured purpoie, fortunately or un fortunately, as the event niay prove, (tbey add) '"they are impelled by (be destiny ol Caucasian race, children of that Japhet, whom Heaven foretold should dwell in the 1 tents of Shem, the Ispetus of the Greeks, wh" poured the hordes of the Csepisn and of farthest Thrace upon the Mediterranean coas's, (oh! oh! oh!) snd also that they have the examble of England, hourly, in pushing most energetically forward the empire ol the rv or man race, who establish' ed their present dominion ot the field of Ilasliiiirs.'' Col. R. M. Johnson has thus accepted the invitation requesting his attendance at ihe Oregon Convention, to be held in Cin cinnati on the 3d, 4th, and 8th days of Ju ly next. a ; - .

The title of the United Statea to the Or egon Territory, as defined by Dr. Una , and others, in the Senate of the United States, is valid, and should not be dispu led by any foreign power. As thus defin- ed, Oregon is invaluable, ss part of our, conlederscy, in an agricultural, manufact- , uringand commercial point of view, and aboveall, in its political aspect. If our just nghls and claims to our own domicil must be disputed by foreign nations, the . sooner the difficulty is settled the better , peaceably, if we can forcibly, if we ' must."

We have been perplexed by such claims , ever since we were free and independent As soon as we settle one difficulty, anoth er springs up of the same character, and our liberality, magnanimity, and forbear. ance, are constructed and tortured into a , comfirination of unjust pretensions by the adverse parly. Our confederation ia tha only spot upon earth where man enjoys the right of self government the only asylum of liberty for those who sre oppressed and down trodden in other portions of tha globe. . " We owe a solemn duty to ourselves, lo generstiona Jet unborn, and to God who has smiled upon us, and has alwaya given victory io occupy every loot ol this continent to which we as a people, have just claim. Every day that we postpone . the assertion, vindication, and exercise sf our right to the invaluable Territory of Or egon, we increase the difficulty of an tut icable adjustment. o far. as our claim is ust lo the Oregon, I am for a quick step. ' am for working by Jus job. I am there fore, willing to adopt such measures aa may seem most conductive, to its immedi ate occupation, whether the Government acta or not, having due regard to the lawa and constitution. Our outlet to tha Pa cific, by the occupation of the Oregan, is only second in importance to our outlet to ' the Atlantic by the Mississippi. His arm : is strong wbose is just. In this enlighten ed age, I hope nothing will be required but reason and the manifestation of justice. I would not recommend or join in a rash measure but in the enjoyment of our rights, perseverance and firmnese ere ne cessary. , , f jf.-jy: .." .ii .v " With great respect, ' - i, Your fellow citizen, RH.
