Bewltehrd SboeMakcr-A Very Singular Story form the State of Maine. A man named Downs, who wns in tba army, and, for all we know, a reapectable man, has, for years lived in Anburu. A shoemaker by tradeha has been known to his friends to "possess a curious power of putting other peoplo into unconscious states, in which he could make them do any thing he pleased. On Thursday he V-camc into the inner sole factory of

Mr. Charles Woodward, in Auburn, and being an old friend, threw his arm casually around Woodward's neck, thinkiag nothing of the act, and soon after left the shop. Woodward says that he remombers nothing that occurred after that till Saturday noon. After Downs left the shop it was uo ticed that Woodwnrd behaved strangely—danced,- sang, &c. Thursday night he did not eonio home, but about 2ft o'clock on Friday morning put in an appearance and went to bod. He boarded with Mr. Edwin Blake, on Spring street, Auburn. Mr. Blake thought Woodward acted .strangely. Fridny night he made inquires for him and found he had been over to a "dance, and been down to a shanty and got something to eat, and had acted •ery badly in other respects. Blake naturally thought he was on a spree. ..•and fiuding Woodward at last, got him homo, though ho made stout resistance. Fridny night and Saturday forenoon Woodward continued in this hy steric stato lie would tell nny one who came in all their1 family secrets— matters ho never could have known— but yet he faithfully revealed everything. Mr. Blake saw c'narly that it was not a case of intoxication—for it appeared Woedward went into the state suddenly ct his place of business and continued in it many hours after /he could have had no access^to liquor.

deed, that the explanation iuell needed explaniniog. Downs said that ever since he had left Auburn he h»d had a notion that something there wa° not right, but he conld not tell exactly what the trouble wns—he had been unusally nervous and restless, and had a presentment that he was needed there. After he took on himself the affection of Blake, ho could for a time hardly contain himself. A young man who necom

Such a weird story as the above, if we Ehould hear it from almost any ordinary sour*»\ we should discredit altogthcr, °r -credit it to the whisky bottle. But in the present instance there is every reason to believe that the facts are substantially a? above given. ^Ve have them from the lips of Woodward and Blake, and those who took care of them. Mr. Blake is well known as one of the most reliable and.Christain young men in Auburn, nis father is Rev. Mr. Blake of New York City. Mr. Woodward, so far as we know, has always borne himself in this community well, and the fact is well established that his condition, as above given, was due alone to some indefinable raesmcric influences.

Blake and Woodward are now confined to their rooms, where we saw them to day. They say they feel as though they had been "pounded every muscle in their bodies being swollen and sore. They are thoroughly prostrated. "What is it? is the question. To answer it by saying "mesmerism" is only to jump out of Hie frying pan into tbe fire. It is certainly a wonderous proof of the effect of one mind on another, of will on will, of animal magnetism— a physical wonder—as weli established as any othe

in the nineteenth century. In Cotton Mather's time they hanged witchcs lucky for Downs that he lives in tho noonday century, else he might be hanged long bfcforo from the topmost limb of a' live oak.— Lcichton (3/c.) Journal, Sept. 20

A Terrible Earthquake at Sea. LIMA, September 13. On the 24th ultimo, when the steamship Payta was in latitude 19 17 south, and longitude 70'21" west, about fifty miles south of Arica. and three miles from the coast, she encountered a fearful earthquake, the hour being 1:25 P. M. The sensation experienced on board was as if the bottom of the sea had riseu up and stuck the bottom of the ship with tremendous force. The concussion was so great as to cause the destruction of more than halt' of the glassware on board the ship and lift heavy weights several inches from the dcck and prostrate nearly all persons on board. The sea appeared to be boiling

More than that, he seemed to have bees a man of temperate and excellent habits.

At last a physician was summoned, •who thought it wis a hysteric fit. It was recommended that he be rubbed in strong mustard water. While Blake was doing this, suddenly Woodward came to his senses, while Blake was instantly attacked with a nervous tremor, his muscles contracted, his body writhed, and soon it became evident that he was himself unconscious. The "demoniac possession,'' ••the witchery," the fit, or whatsoever you please to call it, had left Woodward and Black was now the victim.

Blake was soon found to be entirely unmanageable. He showed thrice his ordinary strength, and attacked with

who was summoned. He would dance and sing and cut all sorts of antics. Nobody could do anything with him. He seemed to see beforehand what the intentionofthosearoundhim was. Finding that it was impossible to cure the case, it was asked, "Where is Downs?"

It was found that he had gone to Gar -J.diner. It was then determined to carry Blake thither. Accordingly,

Sunday forenoon he was secured in a carriage and taken to Gardiner. They iiifound Downs at a hotel there, and brought Blake to the room where he ''Was. Downs put his hands on him and suddenly Blake's muscles relaxed, .j He was restored to consciousness.

Blake says tbe last he remembered he •r" was rubbing Woodward down in his •own house. "Where am I?" "How .did I come here?" these and similar questions gave expression to the Rip

The first great shock was succeed twenty others, of inferior force in quick succession. The passengers and others were excessively alarmed, and looked forward with much anxiety to their arrival at Iquique, a point fifty-seven miles south of the locality where the first great shock was felt. At that port, however, it was found the earthquakes had not been by any means so severe or numerous, and again at Cobija, eigty seven miles further south thau Iquique. but one or two inconsiderable shock had been felt.

He usually winds up with a patriotic speech, something after the style of Patrick Henry, with a loud cheer for the good old banner of our revolutionary fathers, which by their valor, they unfurled as synonymous with the banner of freedom the world over. He says men by nature are Democrats, the children of nature's noblemen. That from the Prilgrim Fathers, kneeling on Plymouth's sacred rock, overshadowed by the capacious temple of the ethereal firmament up to the present time. Democrats under all disadvantages and testing circum stanccs. opposed by money, the influence of power and the armies of the most powerful nations on earth, have fought and won the great battles of freedom.

When we follow the footprints of the fathers, cheering auspices span our political concave with the rosy fringed aurora of national prosperity, but when we embark in all kinds of enterprises and improvements by public taxation we find the corruption of public officials fast extending to the people with a tide of demoralization and extravagence, sweeping over our land, spoilating the hopes'of toiling millions eating out their substance faster than John Xewkirk's new threshing machine takes in wheat. Boss says he is the exponent of our independence, the defender of our liberties and the advocate of justice, that there is no more honesty among men, uor virtue among women, "nor fidelity to sacred relations of life, nor more sincerity among friends, no more affections, no more devotions, nor less suffering in tho family circle now than when taxes were low hence he is not in lavor of the tax.

Fortv-Foiir Tears Lost—Gen. Lafayette's IVsiteh Found In a Pawnbroker's Window.

We learned yesterday the particulars of one of the most singular stories that we have heard for along time, and although it is one of that marvelous order which staggers credulity, yet the facts as we received them are vouched as true by persons whose character and reputation are such ns to make it impossible to doubt.

While the revolutionary war was going on, there lived in Philadelphia a Swiss named Wetzel, a watchmaker by trade, a man of great ingenuity and inventive genius. Having a great admiration for General Washington, he constructed a watch with peculiar care, which, having placed in a valuable gold case, he presented to Gen. Washington, with instructions to present it to any other man he might find who deserved more of the American people than himself. Tho General^ carried the wateh until the efforts of Gen. Lafayette had impressed him with the value and distinguished character of the mail, and believing that ho had found the man designated by Wetzel in his instruction'-, he compelled Lafayette to accept it. Lafayette carried the watch until his return to this country, in 1S25, when as the guest of a grateful free people he made a tour through the country, receiving everywhere the plaudits and welcome of a people of whose history he had written the brightest page. While pursuing his triumphal journey he arrived at'Nashville, aud while at that city receiving the congratulations of the citizens of Tennessee, the watch was stolen. Every effort possible was made to recover it the papers throughout

rewards were offered, and the detective officers in all the citics were on the alert to recover the watch. But^ spite of :ill that was done at the time the watch was not. found, and in tim? the matter was forgotten.

Not- many days since iu western city a watch exposed for sale in the window of a pawnbroker attracted much attention from people passing and value. One day an old gentleman passing the window saw the watch, and, in looking at it closely, became satisfied that he knew something about it. stepped into

the shop und requested the pawnbrok-

er to let him examine it. This was

readily granted. After a moment the old »entleman exclaimed '-This was Gen. Lafayette's watch, presented to him by Gen. Washington, and stolen from him on his vi»:t to this country

A Great Old Storm.

Th-' j:reat storms of the past times

f'nv exceed any of those of the present cei.'tury. The stortu which occurred iu England November 26 and 27, 1703, was called the "great storm," as it was one of the most terrible that ever raged there. The devastation on land was immense, and on the coast and in the harbors the lose.in shipping and in lives still greater. The loss in London alone was estimated at two millions pounds sterling! Eight thousand persons were thought to be drowned in the floods on English rivers and on the coast. Twelve men-of war. with more than one thousand eight, hundred men :.n board, were lost within sight ot land. In the county of Kent, seventeen thousand trees were torn up. Multitudes of cattle were destroyed in one level which was flooded* fifteen thousand sheep were drowned. It was during this terrific gale thbt the Eddystcne Light house was carried away, and its ingenious inventor and his associates perished.—Boston Transcript.
