J. W. & R. E. TALBOT. \n\n Paevarat BuRIAL.-z The Albany Regisatr in the course of an article on this subject, relates the following: Some years ago we were perfectly cognizant of an occurrence of this kind, which was of the most heart-rending character. The wife of a gentleman was taking suddenly ill in church, and was carried to her home in a state of syncope. In a few hours she partially recovered, but immediately relapsed, and never again showed any signs of consciousness. She lay in this condition nearly two days, baffling the skill of the physicians, and then, as it was thought and there was almost every reason to believe, died. No sign- of breathing could be detected, the limbs became rigid and cold, and the eyes remained open with the fixed and glassy stare of death-but there was no change in the color of the skin. This was the only reason in the world for supposing that dissolution had not taken place. The poor bereaved husband, almost frantic at the loss of the young and beautiful wife whom he almost idolized, clung with desperation to the hope limned in her face, and long resisted the unanimous decision of the physi cians that she was certainly dead. They told him, which is doubtless true, that it sometimes, though very rarely, happens that there is no discoloration for days and even weeks after dissolu tion has taken place. But still he re sisted, and it was not until three days had passed without the faintest signal of change or sign of life, that he finally gave up and suffered the burial to take place. She was entombed in a vault. Motlths passed. A cemetery having been laid out, the husband purchased and beautified a lot, erected an elegant monument on it, and when all was ready, superintended the removal of the body of his wife from the vault to its final resting place. When the vault was opened, he re membered the circumstances of her death, above detailed, and a desire suddenly seized him to once more be hold the corpse. By his direction the coffin lid was removed. The spectacle which presented itself was inconceiv ably horrible, for it showed that she had been buried alive. She had turned quite over upon her side-she had clutched her nails into the coffin until her fingers had bled-portions of her grave-clothes were torn. and in her horrible struggles she had contrived to carry her hand to her head and had plucked from it a mass of hair, with portions of the cap that covered it. The poor man never recovered from the shock of that awful spectacle. He was borne away senseless, and for the rest of his weary life was an utterly broken and miserable being. A REALL VETERAN.-The Burlington (N. J.) Gazette relates the following of a veteran in that city: The attention of nmany of our citizens has doubtless been arrested by the ap pearance of an old colored man. who might be seen sitting in front of his residence, in East Union street, upon mnild clear days. respectfully raising his hat to those who might be passing by. His attenuated frame, his silvered head, his feeble movements, combine to prove that he is very aged ; arind yet comparatively few are aware that he is among the survivors of the gallant army who fought for the liberties of our country "in the days which tried men's souls." On Monday last we stopped to speak .to him, and asked him how old he was. He asked the day of the month, and upon being told it was the 24th of May. replied with trembling lips. "' I am very old-I'm a hundred years old to day !" His name is Oliver Cromwell. and he says that he was born at the Black Horse, (now Columbus) in this county, in the family of John Hutchin. He ealisted in a company commanded by Capt. Lowery. attached to the 2d New Jersey Regiment. under the command of Col. srael Shreve. He was at the battles of Trenton, Pjinceton, Brandy wine, Monmouth and Yorktown, at which latter place he told us he saw the 14. man killed. Although his faculties are failing, yet he relates many interesting reminiscences of the Revolution. He was with the army at the neglect of the Deleware on the memorable crossing of the25th Decem ber, 1776, and relates the story of the battles on the succeeding days with enthlsiasm. He gives the details of the march from Trenton to Princeton, and told us, with much' humor, that they "knocked the British about lively" at ;t late lace. He was also at the battle of f ogfield, and says he saw the house banhing in which Mrs. Cald well was shot, at Connecticut Farm. lis melioy in reference to persons engaged in the war is very good, and frequett applications have been ataade to hiam bypersoas seeking evidence for B6 mss that the branch Sf the army mwit wbe he was connected was dis-. 5adb6 it Little Britain, in New York, a hdstace from West Point. His disohaige was signed by Washington, sad slted that he was entitled, "by suns.e a his honorable services, to wear the badge of honor," which he did.' many years after peace was elased._ His. eye brightens at the asam of Washington, and in all his UUtRif*s he exhibits that deep. aind attaehment to his illustrious smaedr fo which all soldiers of the l ei. mare elebrated.

The London Punch says: "Louis Napoleon has issued a decree com manding all professors of universities. colleges. lyceums, and other places of instruction, to cut off their beards and moustaches, lest they should be con founded with 'demagogues and agita tors of society.' Considering how he has bearded the French people, he may well shave their teachers." A new species of brick, called the Chicago brick. is about being intro duced as a building material in New York. It is of a beautiful cream color. and it is said will retain its color as long as the brick lasts. The London Lancet for May contains. among many interesting articles, an account of a murder determined by a microscopic investigation of some blood spilt, and alleged to be that of a horse instead of a human being. It is stated that at the grand military fete in Paris, on the 10th of May. of the large army of 80,000 men under arms in a hot sun, and of the half million of spectators, not one man was seen in the slightest degree intoxicated. The New York Chamber of Com meice. at its regular monthly meeting on the 1st inst. adopted a resolution ur ging Congress to make liberal appro priations for the removal of the obstruc tions accumulating at the mouth of the Mississippi. The New Jersey Whig State Conven tion adopted resolutions endorsing the old whig platform of 1844 and 1848, and denouncing all further agitation on the topic of slavery. A violent storm passed over Philadel phia on the afternoon of the 3d instant, unroofing houses, demolishing chim neys, and uprooting many of the trees in the public squares. It is stated that a rich mine of silver ore has lately been discovered in the vicinity of Gallatin, Saline county, Ill. The persons indicted for aiding in the rescue of the fugitive slave Shadrach have been notified to appear for trial at the present term of the U. S. Circuit Court in Boston. The Maryland Democratic State Con vention met at Baltimore on the 3d in stant. and nominated Electors for Pre sideut and Vice President. A public meeting has been held at Cincinnati. to make arrangements for the reception of Meagher. the Irish exile. e Gen. Pierce.-A Boston paper, refer ring to the nomination of this gentle man for the Presidency, tells the fol lowing anecdote of how he was in n formed of the same: When the news of his nomination reached this city. een. Pierce was on is a visit to Mount Auburn with his wife. - Isaac O. Barnes. ex-United States Mar. o shal. an old and personal friend of Gen. is Pierce. immediately started out. post n haste. to communicate the pleasing in g teilizence to him. Meeting the gene r al near the bronze statue of Bowditch, d he said e " Frank, who do you suppose has got t the nomination ?" e ' I can't really say," replied the gen t eral. " but I presume it is Gen. Cass. r If he has not received it, he ought to s have it." " Well. it aint Cass," rejoined Barnes. k Try again." " Well then it's Douglas." d " N-o. s-i-r-e-e ! It's no other person than yourself !!" " Impossible. Col. Barnes! It cannot be-there must be some mistake!" said e the general. k "No. it's a fact, Frank-a fact . Here is a paper containing the despatches e from Baltimore." s " Well. I suppose it's all right." said r the general. as his eye rapidly scanned I the outline of the proceedings of the B Convention. The party then rode into town. and t Gen. Pierce received the congratula v tions of his friends at the Tremont du s ring the afternoon. s - , - A DREAnr REALIzED.-Some time t during the past summer a stranger a stopped at one of the watering places - on the mountains south of Waynes boro, Pa. After his arrival there he 1 was taken sick, and for several days f was apparently deranged. On his re covery he informed the proprietor of the house that during his illness he had dreamed for three nights in succession s that he had discovered, at a certain r distance in the mountain, under a rock. - an earthen crock, containing a large amount of silver. At this the worthy s host expressed surprise, and spoke of it I as a mysterious dream. S Afterwards, however, they were walk r ing together in that direction, when the dream was again adverted to by the V stranger, and the proprietor at bncee - proposed an examination to satisfy their curiosity. The rock was soon found, 9 and after carefully brushing away the leaves, it was removed, and, to their otter astonishment, there sat a crock full of silver. They took it out, and a conveyed it to the house, and on ex I amination it was found to contain $400, all in half dollars, which was divided equally between them. The day after this discovery, the I stranger was about to take leave of the mountain, and complained to his friend, the proprietor of the springs, of the in convenience of carrying the silver, when an exchange was proposed and effected, the stranger receiving bank able p&per for his silver. It was not long after his departure, however, that the proprietor made another discovery' -his four hundred dollars in silver was counterfeit, and he had thus been in-'' geniously swindled out of two hundred dollars! ALaaxxo.-Hairdrswer-They say, I sir, the cholera's in the hair, sir ! Gs.t. (very uneasy)-Indeed ! Ahem! Then I hope you're very particular about the brushes you use. Hairdrueser-Oh! I see you don't kutderstand' me,sir. .I don't mean the 'air of the 'ed, but the hair of the hat mosphere ! GiL--Oh, that's it ! Very good- ga head! a Singular Passage.-The Wilmington (N. C.) Herald states that a small negro, probably not over ten years of age, living in Charleston, being desirous of paying Wilmington a visit, got under the guard of the steamer Gladiator. just aft the wheel, and placing his feet on the spoondyle of the boat. (a large beam near the water line. designed to keep the craft upright and steady) he clasped a brace that stood conveniently near, and came over safely. The Her ald says : When discovered, he was endeavo,r ing to reach the shore at the depot. and looked bright, although decidedly in a moist condition. His escape from death was almost miraculous, for, from his position, he must have experienced a succession of immersions in the briny wave. The distance from Charleston to this town is about 170 miles; the night was dark, although not tempestuous. He said when the boat got out to sea he was terribly frightened, and screamed lustily, but nobody came to his assist ance, and he succeeded by clinging to the brace as high up as he could, in keeping his head out of water. On being asked whether he slept during the night, he replied that he didn't have time. Having obtained out a partial glimpse of our town, and not being particularly struck with its ap pearance, he offered no resistance when Col. Miller. the steamer's agent. placed him on board the return boat for Charleston. His was a flying visit, anid a bold venture; and if the incidents detailed by him, with every appearance of sincerity and truth, are not fabrica tions, it atfords an instance of daring and good fortune not often chronicled.
