I Two Young i?ftu autl Their Sweet hearts go a Bathing. The tornado that swept over the vicinity of New York BCtDC days ago was thfi severest known iu New York for many years. The Passaic lliver rose and suddenly overflowed its batiks. The shipping Was greatly endangered, boats were driven from their moorings, trees were blown down, hooscs unroofed, and cellars flo >ded. Two young men and their sweetheart < were out oil the river boating. Tlie girls had not found it convenient to iiVlbrm thc?f run into whose company they were goiug, as the lovers would not have been received with the best possible grace at the house.

A portion of the latter has just worked out through his neek. Tho case appears singular, and may be doubted by some, but there is on tho records of surgery a more singular ease, and one in which the recovery of the patient may be deemed mlraetdOds; ft was that of a gold watch being entirely shattered aud driven into a man's body through the ribs and lungs, and of the places being afterwards .extracted or ejected, and tho recovery of the patient. The gentleman who survived this terri ble injury is our townsman. R. Q. Drummond, Esq. and he Is now alive, and except the cisdaali?catioU from physical labor he is apparently Well.

The watch was of course torn to pieces, and the fragments scattered through the body, fortunately missing the heart. In two weeks from the aoci qeut some of the pieces were taken out, aud at intervals from that time, for fif teen years afterwards, when the last piece was ejected from the mouth, after hav ing caused one hundred hemorrhages by the violent fiis of coughing.
