A StuatsQK Story.?In a village near Neark, England, in an old lhalcbed house wbieb' has been occupied by tbe same fnm uy inree uunarea years, tliero lives an old man wbo.baa 'completed bis eighty-sixth . your. A person who bad occasion to visit bim the otbcr day was not surprised on hearing the olJ gentleman, in course of conversation, express his belief that he was not only going to heaven, but had been there once since his introduction"^ this xvorld." From the account he gives of the matter, it appears that when lfe was about eleven years of age he was in an apparen tly;lifoless state?wicb he called a trance ?for the space of nine days, and it was ' during that time that h? think* permitted to behold the gloried of heaven. . His parents fully believed him to be dead ; the passing bell wa3 -rung i hia" coffin'Vjras ordered and made ; o^lh'e'lliird llay this friends assem'jte'd"' lor the purpose of fol lowing hiui to thgrave. The clergyman of the parish went in to" look at the supposed corps before the cof fin lid was screwed on, and finding it to be warm he at once-expressed the opinion that the child was pot dead, and after or dering the postponement of.the funeral, :-sent his servant on horseback for a doctor, ~ " -uu,uu amviug at iue nouse, connrmec] the assertion, of the minister, and instructed the boy's" mother to moisten the boy'a lips with wine and water twice a day. She did" so, ana* on tho ninth day he was able to open his eyes and rise from the eupposed bed of death. Since that timeTbis health * ) . v ' " . 4 has been delicate, but be has continued to occup^lbe grazing land adjoining bis cot tage,, and has kept cows after the manner 'O^ bu-forefathers. - Since tbe blockade o'f. the Potomac,, tbe supplies for ^ashiogjonT frcnr tbe North, have to bo'shipped .to Baltimore, to be tranaferredtherice'' by rail. This will add greatly to tbe-'.pressure upon tbe railroad.

Johnston on last Friday ; they were even under marching ordoft, hut for some unexpected reason the movement was 'postponed.' Intelligence has been received here, that Lieut. Sylvester Mowry. formerly a Dele gate from ^Arizona to the U. S. Congress a nephew of Smith -Mowry, and who is well-known in Charleston, was killed by the Indians in Arizona, during, tho latter part of September. It was rumored at Manassas this morn ing that McClellan's array had dravm back its lines to Munion's Hill.

Such was tho fact, however. Lincoln is master of that place, and bis Lieutenants exercises absolute au-> thority. There was the alternative pre sented to every preacher?the oath, or per petual imprisonment. The most of them, probably, under compulsion in dureeBs, took the oath, and for the time beinrr. *t least, escaped from the clutches of tho tyrant. -The Last Yankee Desecration.? The Philadelphia 'Press' say a a i effort is being made by parties in that, city to in duce, the Federal Government to confiscate the'Mount Vernon estate, with the hope of realizing money of which they were defrau ded by4he bad management of the - ladies. association for its purchase.

Tobacco and Arsnic.?A young lady in Hampshire from a mistake'svrallowcd a ' portion of arsenic, which had beonprepared for the destruction of rats. Pninfull sym toms soon led to the discover}'. An elder- ' f_ 1. 1 . - - - 4 jy jauy men present advised that she should be made to vomit as speedily as pos sible ; and as the unfortunate victim had always exhibited a loathing for tobacco in any shape, that was suggested as a ready moans of obtaining the desired end. A pipe was used but this produoed nojnausea. A large portion of strong tobacco was then chewed, but even this produced no sensa tion of disgust. A strong decoction was then made with hot water ; of this she swallomed a pint without producing "nau sea or giddiness or any emetic or cathartic action. The pains graduall subsided and bub Dcgait 10 ieei well. On the arrival of physicians an emetic was administered. The patient recovered and no ill v conse quences were experienced.
