SUSPENDED ANIMATION,

A YOUNG LADY LIES IN A TRANCE NEARLY
TWO WEEKS.

One ot the most remarkable cases that
we have ever been called upon to chronicle
jias lately come under our notice, and we
propose to lay the facts before the publie
as they are. On Lorain street, above Jer-
sey, there resides with her step-father a
young lady, Miss Ellen K. White, who is
probably between seventeen and eighteen
years of age, very prepossessing in her
manner, and very fincly educated. About
six weeks ago she was taken dangerously
il, with what the family physician pro-
nounced as typhoid fever, and for some
days was so low, that all hopes of her re-
«overy were given up, She rallied, how-
ever, and, under careful nursing and skill-
ful treatment, she was in a fair way to re-
cover, when, about two weels ago, she had
arelapse, and sank rapwlly, until the breath
seemed to leaye her body, and she was
pronounced a corpse. Her body was pre-
pared for the grave, and_ preparations
were made by her bereaved parents and
friends for the funeral, when her mother,
who could not be made to realize the f
that her only daughter was dead to her for-
ever, noticed that, though the limbs of her
daughter were rigid, yet the body retained
its warmth. Vhysicians were called, but
they decidod that she was dead, and every
attempt to resuscitate her failing, it was
determined, last Sunday, to consign her
to the grave, and a coflin was procured,
On Saturday, while one of the neighbors
aind the mother were standing beside the
supposed corpse, the door, which had been
left open, blew shut with a loud noise,
which had the effect of so acting upon the
girl as to bring her to and set her liteblood
an motion, She sprang up in bed, and,
throwing her arms around her mother’s
neck, wept tears of joy over her escape
from the horrid death of being buried
alive. Miss White said that when she telt
herselt sinking, she had ao fear of death,
but turned upon her side, and as she did
so, all pain disappenred, and she sank to
sleep as peacefully as achild. She lay,
she thinks, unconscious for an hour or
more, for when she came to herself,
though she could not move or speak she
found out that sho was laid out ready for
burial. She could see her mother by her
side, and all those who came to see her:
could hear them talk, and understand all
they said. She tried to speak, but her
tongue refused to do its office ; she tried to
move, but could not; and there she lay,
blessing her mother for her persistent re-
dusal to allow her to be buried. Upon two
occasions, when her mother was alone in
the room with her, it seemed as though
she left the body, could .ook down upon it

as she could her mother, She said she was
~ qgnable to describe the feelings that she ex-

yerienced upon those occasions. When
not tortured with the fear of being buried
alive, she was perfectly at rest, perfectly
happy, #od when the dvor slammed, whieh
brought her to, it seemed as though she
avas, to use her own words, ‘* compelled
to eommence a hard day’s work.” Miss
White is now in a tair way to recover.
Her strength is gaining rapidly, and from
vevery-indication, we should judge she has
a long life betore her,.—Cleveland Plain-
dealer, May 31.

An interesting letter appears in_ the
Daily News from x correspondent in Brit
ish Columbia, from which we take the tol-
lowing :—The climate is superb, the rivers
full of Salmon, the woods filled with game.
Thave considerable experience asa farmer,
I have been in many lands, and I declare
I never saw in any country a climate ora
soil to eqmal those you find in the valleys
of British Columbia. The great majority
of the class that eimigrates ave not rich
enough-.to, come here. A man arriving
here without any capital would find him-
sell in a bad position ; there is no demand
for labor; clerks or shopmen have no busi-
ness here. A farmer should arrive with
at Jeast a capital of £200, and he should
make up his mind to grasp the axe, and
hold the plough, and mind his business al-
ways. In five years, such a man would
make for himself a beautiful home, pro-
duce an abundant supply ot necessaries,
some luxuries and lots of cash.”

Tn the Continential Parliaments, matters
of fthange engages coasiderable ot their
attention, In Florence a lively discussion
took place ** upon the Ministerial income-
tax Bill as mfgditied by the Committee.”
These modifications were not accepted by
the Government up to the time of our latest
exchanges from Liverpool. In the Lower
ILouse at Vienna, a Debate was also going
on on the same subject, where the propos-
al of the majority of the Committee were
necepted,

ing a joint guarantee of the loan required

recently. Dr. Pusey, and other eminent
Divines were present, and resolutions

Ill-treatment of the Crew of the Lydia.

We heve scarcely ever read of treatment
more fiendishly barbarous and eruel than
that with which the master and two mates
of the ** Lydia,” a Nova Scotia vessel, have
been charged before the Police Court at
Liverpool, as given below, ‘Lhe atrocities
of Theodore, or the barbarities of the
Savages of the South Sea Islands, pale be-
fore it. What punishment would be too
severe for such inhuman rufiians should
the guilt really be brought home to them?

{Prom the ‘Shipping and Mercantile Gazette,

May 21.)

« At the Liverpool Police-court yester-
day, before Mr. Raifles, Mr. Davies,
deputy law clerk to the Watch Committee,
made an application for a warrant against
Dennis Foreman Skofield. master of the
ship Lydia, 700 tons, of Yarmouth, Nova
Scotian; Anselm Larkin, the first mate,and
Francois, the second officer. Te said that
the ship Lydia had recently arrived at Liv-
erpool from Black River, Jamaica, and
the charge he would prefer against the
captain would be that of having assaulted
several of the evlored seamen on board
the vessel, with intent todo them grievous
bodily harm.—The first mate was already
in custody on the more serious charge of
murder, he (Mr. Davies) alleging that
he had caused the death of a seaman
named Daniel McDonald. He applied al-
so for a warrant against the second mate
for haying assaulted several seamen with
intent to do them grievous bodily harm.
The men who had been assaulted were in
in the Court to speak for themselves, and
bore strong traces of the ill-treatment to
which they had been subjected. Part of
the treatment was of a singularly cruel
and disgusting chavacter—two cf the sea-
men, named Robert Martin and Robert
Williams, having been tied to each other
by a certain poviion of their persons and
their necks.—The chief mate, while they,
were in this position, insisted on their
dancing, and to make them do so, he
thrust a large needle and nails into the
hinder part of their bodies. ‘The result
of their being forced to move about was to
eause them the most exerutiating pain.
‘The other of the assaults consisted in se-
veral of the crew being struck about their
heads with belaying pins an‘ capstan bars,
‘Two of the seamen had their noses broken,
and another had his toes severely crushed
by the mate trampling on them and kick-
ing them with his boot-heels.

The specific charge of assault against
the eaptain was that when within two or
three days sail of Queenstown he ordered
the first mate (Larkin) to beat Robert
Williams about the head with a broom
handle, ‘That order was carried out until
blood began to flow, and the eaptain then
ordered Williams to be tied with his hands
and heels together, and while in that pos-
ition to have three dozen lashes inilicted
upon him. The full extent of this order
was not, however, inflicted, Williams re-
ceiving only 18 lashes. Mr, Raifiles here
asked if a man who was sitting near the
dock, listening very attentively to the state-
ment, was the Captain of the Lydia? One
of the sailors informed him that he was.
Mr. Raifiles ordered him to be at once taken
into custody. The captain having been
tuken down to the detective office, Mr.
Davies called three colorcd men, Joseph
Campbell, Richard Martin, and Robert
Williains, and an English sailor named
Edwd. Arthur Pugh, a very intelligent
young man, These witnesses supported
Mr. Davies’ statement. Tho warrant
against the second mate was then granted,
and he was shortly afterwards apprehend-
ed, Anselm Larkin, the first imate, was
then placed in the dock, charged with the
wilful murder of Daniel McDonald, a
Scotch sailor, Mr, Davies was about to
enter into the facts of the case when Mr.
Cobb came irto Court and said that he ap-
peared for all the prisoners, and would
consent to a remaud yatil the following
day, as he had only been instructed. No

28th April the prisoner, Larkin, struck the
deceased man a very severe blow on the

At 1.80 the Ministers withdraw. ‘The audi-

his siesta, at three he reads his Breviary, and

less, he is followed by upwards of two thou-
sand persons, who walk after him in silence.

well, and what is quite unknown even to many
Romans, plays well on the violincello, When
I was received with my companion, the cham-
berlain plucked me by the sleeve to make me

ment, spared us the genuflexion, and made us
approach the table at which he was sitting.
*So then,’ His Holiness said, ‘you are two
journalists, friends, going together to Naples?”
ie spoke about Naples, and asked us how we
liked Rome, adding that peopl. found them-
selves yory free during their stay. He then
took two photographic likenesses of hinself,
one for each of us, and with a sly smile said:
‘Tam going to write something for the jour-
nalists,’ and, in a. firm hand, traced these
words :

Diligita veriaiem filiam Dei ;
after which he held ont his hand to us. Tis
iufability is extreme. He speaks French with
as much accent as Nossini. and the impression
he produced on me was that of a pleasant and
tranquil old man who appears to be but little
occupied with external matters.”

A Russian pamphlet, bearing the significant
motto, ‘*O! Russia, one step and the whole
world is yours,” has lately been published. It
says that the Bulgarian Committee has been
two years in existence, that its head quarters
are in quarters inaccessible to the ‘urkish
authorities, that this organization is devoted
to Russia, ond that it is powerful envugh to
raise wll Bulgaria in insurrcetion at twenty-
four hours’ notice, and that so efficient an in-

now indispensable,

IV. Speedy resumption of specie payments,
so that greenbacks will be equivalent to gold.
V. No military trials in time of peace.
VI. A proper proportion of Southerners in
the Cabigent.

VII. The Judiciary to be independent of
Congress.
Vill. ‘he President has full power to par-
don Rebels and restore them to political
rights. Congressional restriction of this
power is usurpation.

Anexchange informs us that last spring
and summer he made the following experi:
ment: He transplanted ten cheery trees
while in bloom, commencing at four o'clock
in the afternoon, and transplanted one each
hour until one c’clock in the morning.—
Those transplanted in daylight sed their
blossoms, producing little or no fruit, while
those planted during the darker portions
maintained their condition fully. Ie did the
same with (en dwarp pear trees after the fruit
was one-third grown, Those transplunted
during the day shed truit—those transplanted
during night perfected their crop, and showed
no injury from having been removed. With
each of these trees, he removed some earth
with the roots. We lnve no doubt the above
experience is of sufficient important to attract
the attention of farmers and others.

: THE MILITIA.

Ticr Militia in this end of the Island
is now mustering and training under the
superintendence of regularly appointed
drill-instructors. ‘The great majority of
our population heartily acquiesce and co-
operate in-the movement. There are
those, however, who grumble in the m st
admired discord, and look upon the whole
affair as a piece of legislative imposition.
This latrer idea is a foolish one. In
Britain, although they maintain an effici-
ent standing army, yet the militia force
is considered of such importance as a
safeguard against invasion, that all the
ayailable men of the country are com-
pelled to devote a considerable portion of
their time annually to military exercise
And our necessity and obligation to train
our militia are doubly imperative, since
we enjoy the benefit of the standing army
of the Mother Country without being di-
rectly burdened in contributing to its
support. Our increasing population will
excite the attention, and perhaps the ¢u-
pidity of other countries, And as a lia-
bility to war seems to be a perpetual in-
heritance of all countries, it is our wisest
policy to be as much prepared to inect
exigencies as possible. We believe that
our yeomanry under any circumstances
would do no diseredit to any country for
pluck and bravery, in case of war or in-
yasion, still their cffectiveness would be
increased many fold by wholesome milit-
ary training. A few days just now can-
not show much; but we ar2 only begin-
ning, let this training be judiciously car-
ried on from year to year, and we shall
most assuredly see the good fruits of it
in the way of efficiency. The pages of
American ‘history furnish us with noble
examples of what men called from the
humble pursuits of life can achieve when
impelled by interest, honour and pride of
character. ‘The farm, the shop, and the
counting house have sent forth not only
brave soldiers, bit profound politicians
and astute statesmen at the distressful
call of their country. Men from the
midst of an agricultural country, with a
freedom which knew scarcely any check,
and with no taste for, nor acquaintance
with war, yielded submissively to military
subordination and heroically baffled every
attempt made to tresspass upon their
legitimate and constitutional righ.s. And
who will say, that the colonists of the
present gencration are not possessed of

character; let a foreign foo but attempt
to infringe upon our rights and privileges,
and that momens cyery breast will heave
with loyalty and every muscle will be
nerved for action,

We are sorry to hear that there has been
considerable dissatisfaction in some parts
of the country on account of the irregul-
arity in calling out the militia to muster
and training. In some sections of the
country there are whole companies which
were not summoned till the day of mus-
ter; and in many of the companies,
which were regularly notified as regards
time, a number of persons were over-
looked, This slipshod mode of execut-
ing orders has a very disastrous effect on
the success of the movement. It may
lead some to look upon the whole matter
as a sham,others may be ready ‘to attribute
it to partiality on the part ot the officers.
Besides, it is a decided injustice to the
whole community. The Government pay
drill-serjeants, who make a regular cir-
cuit of the Island, and when they drill at
any particular locality it is as easy to in-
struct the whole as part of those to be
drilled. And when any are neglected in
their regular circuits, they must cither be
left untrained or else the drill-serjeant
must take a special trip for their benefit,
and thereby incur an unnecessary addi-
tional expense, This irregularity is pro-
bably owing to the misapprehension or
neglect of the officers of the regiments
and companies in which it has taken
place. But taking all things into con-
sideration, there is perhaps some excuse
for them this time. ‘The movement is ia
its infancy, everything about it is quite
anoyelty in this country, and people
cannot be exprcted to do everything
quite in order the first time.

There seems to be some doubt as to
the proper time to notify the militia, and
as we have been asked a yaricty of ques-
tions on the subject, for the benctit of
those of our readers who have not seen
the Militia Act we subjoin the part bear-
ing on this particular point :—

* Every man shall receive at least four
days’ notice of the musters and training
at which he shall be required to attend,
under the authority of this Act; such
notice to be given to him in person by
any Commissioned or non-commissione:

Captain of the Company by any person

abode; but in the latter case, if the man}
shall hot receive the notice he may prove
his ignorance,”

that reports of a Fenian plot to murder the
Queen have been afloat ot late. The fear of
such a crime was very strong when Her Maj-

ready to commit the deed if they could have
had any chance of escape.

On Wednesday, the 20th of May, Mrs.
Jolson, Cumberland Hill, missed her little
boy—a child of about two and a half years
old—from amorg her other @hildren. Search
was made for him in and about the house,but
the little fellow was no where to be found.
{lis little sister, on looking down the well,
saw her brother fivating at the bottom. She
immediately called out to her mother that
Johnny was inthe well. ‘The frantic mother’s
cries attracted the notice of Mr, Peter John-
ston, whose dweliing is nbout a quarter of a
mile distant from the scene of the accident.
IIe. with some other of the neighbors, hasten-
ed to give what assistance they were able. A
considerable time clipsed before they arrived
at Mr. Johnston's. When there, they saw the
child floating in the well, head downwards, his
fect and one hand being out of the water. By
this time he must have been fully thirty min-
utes in the well, which is some thirty feet
deep. * The ditliculty now was to get to the
child—the chain and bucket having gone to
the bottom. ‘There happened to be a short
ladder at hand, and by this means Mr. J.
Conaham was enabled to go some distance
down the well, he remainder of the descent
he effected by placing his feet between the
stones on cach side of the well, Witha good
deal of difficulty and some danger, he brought
the apparently dead child to the surface, and
placed him in the arms of his sorrowing mo-
ther, His skin was very cold, his limbs rigid,
and his face swollen und quite dark. It
seemed folly to attempt to revive him. The
attempt, however, forlorn as it appeared, was
prompy made by the fond parents, and with
the happiest results. Without loes of time,
the chilu’s dripping clothes were torn. off his
body, and he was placed in warm blankets
betore a blazing fire. Ie was laid on his
face, with the head lower than the rest of his
body, and table salt sprinkled over him. He
was then rubbed with the bare hand, and
nioved gently from side to side. The blank-
ets as (hey cooled, were constantly replaced
by warin ones, and the rubbing was not slack-
ened tor a single instant. After being treated
in this way for about ten minutes, the child
showed fuint symptoms of returning life. His
feet and temples were rubbed with spirits,
after which he came to rapidly. In about an
hour after the child was taken out of the
water he wis able to take some toast-water;
and the next day, after passing a somewhat
restless night, he was runuing about the
louse.— Com. to Hx,
