Augusta, pending at the date of our last rc
port, have resulted in the purchase ef asitefor

to be erected there.
The funds arising/rom the payment of sub

will soon be entirely expended on the work.
As the Hoard at presont sees no prospect of
making any considerable additions to the list
of shareholders, steps have boen taken to issue
seven per cent, bonds of tlia company, payable
in ten years. These bonds ought to be dis-
poecd of very readily, as they will constitute
the only tncumbrance on the road when com
pleted. More than three-fourths of the entire
work will have been noid for, in cash, before
the bonds are issued ; and ths road will be
yielding 7 percent, on the co»t, under a con
tract with the Central Company, before the
»i r r®*L ,ear s °n the bonds accrues.—
With such security they cannot fail to be
sought after as a desirable investment.
The road to Waynesboro’ has been worked
by the Central Railroad Company, dainca

I he indications are such as to satisfy the Board
that the travel on this route, when opened thro’

Report of the President aud Directors of
the AugiiHtaand Waynesboro’Railroad
to the Stockholders.
It becomes our duty, at tho close of another
year, to submit a Report of the operations of
the Company during that period, and tho pre
sent condition of its affairs. As these are con
fined almost entirely to receipts,disbursements,
and work done upon the road, tho Report of
the Chief Engiueer, herewith preseutod, and
the tabular statement of the Bocrctary, which
is attached, put the Stockholders in possession
of all the items of information on these sub
jects, which tho Board con furnish.
Twelve months sinco the grading, masonry,
and bridging of the twenty miles of road near
est Auguatu, had just then been put under con
tract. The first monthly “ Estimate” of work
done on that division was returned iu February
last. The work on that portion of the line
has been so constantly and judiciously pressed
forward by the contractors as tolgive the Board
but little uueusiness on account of delay, and
no causes can now be seen which are likely
to prevent its completion at an early period
within the present year. It is due to these
energetic contractors to sny, that much greater
progress would have been made, but for a sum
mer of almost unprecedented sickness, follow
ed by a season of excessive rains. The disas
trous effects from these causes were, in a great
measure, beyond their control.
The delay and disappointments which have
parked tho progress at that part of the work
lying between Briar and McBean creeks, re
ferred to in the Chief Engineer’s Report, have
yeeu observed with great uneasiness by the
Board. Ths fact that this point is nearly
taidway between the Central Railroad and
Augusta, and while unfinished ie an obstacle

ENGIXBBB’8 DarARTMUXT, A. AND W. R. R
m n . Savannah, January lit, 1853.
1 o A. a, Lawton, Esq., President:
Sir :—The period has arrived when it be
comes my duty once more to luy before vou a
Report from this Department. In doing so tho
number and character of subjects requiring to
be noticed will enable me to bo very brief.
A t the period of the lest unnunl Report, tho
Road wus completed aud in operation to Thom
as’Station, a distance of fifteen miles. The
Road went into uso to Waynesboro’, u distance
of twenty and a half miles, in May—since
which time it has been in successful operation,
il we except a period of a few days when the
regularity of the trains upon this road, ns well
as upon the most of the roads in Georgia, was
interrupted by the recent freshet. The amount
of damage, howover, was inconsiderable.
After reaching Waynesboro’ the condition
of the grading prevented the further prosecu
tion of tho superstructure nt that time. It was,
however, resumed in November, and is now
completed to a point two miles beyond Waynos-
boro’. It ia behaved there will be now nothing
to prevent its regular progress until a point is
reached on the north aide ef Briar Crotk, which
point will, by the stage road, be but about
twenty-two miles from Augusta. No regulur
station will be established at this place, but it
may nevertheless become the point of transfer
between the Railroad and Stage line, where
by the time consumed Jin the trip will bo con
siderably reduced.
Here occurs a heavy and lengthy cutting,
which presents the moat emuiderabte obstacle
on the lino. Sufficient progress nas nut yt>«
been made to enable me to determine with
accuracy tho period.when its completion may
be looked for. It ia likely, however, to be
that part of the grading last completed, but I
am Cdfe in saying, with the means recently
adopted to expedite this part of the work, it's
completion will form no obstacle to the open
ing of the road to Augusta ill tiie coming fall,
at which time I confidently look for that
ovent.
From McBean Creek to Augusta, a distance
of twenty-three miles, tho grading is for ad
vanced, and a largo amount of materia’ for
superstructure ia in readinesa at Augusta. The
superstructure will be commenced at Auguuta
as soon as the iron, now on «he way and daily
expected, arrives. It will he carried forward
continuously from this point, probably to Mc
Bean Creek, when it will be met by tho track
from the other direction.
On the eligible and advantageous site so
fortunately secured for a depot in Augusta,
all of the usual and necessary buildings, and
oil a scute adapted to the probable business
wants of the road, will be erected during noxt
summer. They will be of an unpretending
but substantial character—a warehouse, pan*
dongor house, engine house, smith and machine
diops, &c.—the whole to bo enclosed with a
substantial brick wall.
In reviewing the operations of tho past year,
while we hata reason to be gratified with the
progress made on that division of the Road, of
twenty-three miles, uext to Augusta, the ex
pectations of the Board are doubtless far from
being realised oil that portion of the lino l>o-
tween Briar and McBean Creeks. In justice
to tho contractors undertaking this part of the
work,l will remark,that I am satisfied their boat
energies and efforts have been devoted to the
work,accompanied byan evident end earnest de
sire to husten its completion by all the means in
theirpower: which, however, have not been e-
qualto that rapid prosecution of the work which
was reasonably looked for by yourself and the
Board. The condition of this part of the work
furnishes abundant evidence of the propriety
aud necessity for tho plan recently adopted,
and now being put in operation—that of put
ting on a large additional force under tho di
rection of the company. The causes which
have led to disappointment iu the progress on
(his part of the line, as you ore aware, ar<
traceable in a grout measure to tho unhealih
fulness of this particular portion of the route
during the last season. As an instance of this
l will mention, that on the22d November, out
of twonty-thrne overseers and mauagers, eigh
teen were sick and unfit for duty.
At the date of ths last annual report, the site
for the depot in Augusta had not beou deter
mined ; the exact leugth of the road therefore
could not be giveu. This point being settled,
the length of the road is found to he fifty-three
and one-tenth miles.
In conclusion, I would call your attention
to the Report of my Principal Assistant, Aug.
Schwaab, Esq., which will he laid before you,
and to the tabular statement prepared by him.
Respectfully,
F. P. HOLCOMB, Chiof Engineer.

A loiter wire rend by the Corresponding Se
cretary, I. K. Teflt, Keq., from Lieut. Gilmore,
ol the United States Army,now chargad by the
Federal Government with tho important work of
improving the navigation or ih* Savannah
river. He kindly proposed to present to the
Society a copy of tho proceedings of ths
United States Commissioners appointed in
1830, for the same olijoct aa that now entrusted
to himself. The thunks of the Society were
passed for Mr. Gilmore's courteous offer,which
wns accepted. Tho hope tvns entertained that
the proceedings of the present commission of
tho United Slates officers would also bo de
posited with the Society.
A paper wns read by W. B. Hodgaon, Esq.,
on the butanical characteristics aud commer
cial value of the Whito Oak of South-western
Georgia.
On motion, this paper was ordered to bo
published, with tho proceeding* of the Society.
Tho White Oak of tho Alatninnha.
My uttonliun has recently been atiractod to
this invaluable forest tree, by a letter
addressed to Dr. J. P. Screven, President of the
Savunnah and Puusacola railroad, by a lum
ber merchant of Maine. Hia general state
ment ol the commercial and economic value of
the wiiito.onk, the Quereu* Alba of the Bota
nists, may be iIiub expressed :
“ The white oak timber of the North has
been nearly exhausted iu ship building. Con
sequently the shii> yards of the North must,
hereafter, be supplied from the South. As tho
supply of this oak bus diminished, the South
ern hard pine has been substituted for it, in
planking vessels. Still tho white oak is esti
mated much higher than pine, for this purpose,
and it bears double th' price.”
The writer makes known the important fact,
that the borders of the Oconee, Ocmulgee, and
-ilatamaha rivers, abound iu this important
timber, and that it must, ultimately ,afibrd large
freight to the Savannah aud Pensacola road now
iu progress.
i had early read the valuable work of F.
Andrew Michaux, descriptive of the forest
trees of North America, and I had a recol-
tion of the great economic and commercial
value which he attributed lo the Uuercus Alba.
Willi the djsire of ro-pcrusing his scientific and
practical description of this noble forest tree,
I inquired for a copy ol Michaux, and was
happy to find it in the Library of this Society.
The occasion reminded me of tho useful pur
poses which our infunt society o»d its library
may promote. In this case it has contributed
to a knowledge of an article important to com-
tqorce and the useful arts. 1 may not omit
this occasion to pay a just tribute ofrespoct to
this Society’s munificent benefuctor, Dr. J. P.
Screven, to w hom the letter referred to was
written.
I deom it instructive to make the following
oxtracte from Michaux’s Aorth Americau
r*s»/«'• • ~
4 * There ore forty -four special of oak in North
America, including Mexico. The white oak
grows to the height of sevnuty or eighty feet,
und to the diameter of six or seven, according
to the nature of tho soil and climate. It is the
only species of oak which preserves its dry
leuvea in the depth of winter, and sheds them
os the sap rises. This characteristic, added to
the color of its bark, which is very white, gives
it the name of while oak. It may thus be dis
tinguished in the middle of the winter.
Its acorns are seldom abundant. They are
large, oval, and very sweet. For several years,
consecutively, ono may hardly find a handful
of these acorns in an extensive forest, so small
is the fructification of the white oak.
The timber of the white oak is reddish, and
much like that of Europe. Its timber is the
best, and most generally used, of all the species
of American oak. It is very tough, docs not
readily decay, and atTords piecos of large di
mensions ; in which respect it has the advan
tage of the Querc'is virens, or live oak.
Great uso is made of this timber for build
ing mills and dnms, where it is exposed to tho
vicissitudes of heat and moisture. The wood
en bridge, joining Cambridge to Boston, which
is 3,000 feet long, is supported by posts of
wiiite oak, from 14 to 50 feet long, and which
have been substituted for those of whito pine,
which formerly existed.
The wood of this tree is very elastic, and
divisible into thin latninm. Hence it is called
basket oak. It is valuable for cnrtwright’a
wink, for ploughs, wheels, aud wagonB. The
bark is used for tanning, but in this application
*' is inferior to the Quercus rubra, or red oak.
It produces a purple dye. If this dye had
been found durable, it would have ranked with
tho Quercitron of commerce, which is ob
tained from tho Quercus tinctoria, or black
oak.
Staves ntado of white oak are, of all others,
the best suited for liquor and wine cusks. The
post oak, alone, competes with it. The ex
portation of white oak staves has been im
mense, to Great Britain, Madeira aud the West
Indies. Those which are brought to New Or
leans from tho Western States are preferred.
The price of white ouk staves fluctuates be
tween 30 and 70 dollars the thousands The
value of their import into Kuglund and the
West India Islands, may be placod at several
hundred thousand dollars. McCulloch's Com
mercial Dictionary would afford the exact
amount.
In ship building, the white oak cannot, with
equal advantage, he substituted for any other.
In all tho dock-yards of the Northern and
Middlo States it is almost exclusively used for
the keel, and always for tho lower Irame and
the side hoards.”
Mr. Michuux asserts that the greatest quan
tity of white oak is now found iu the Middle
States. He does not seem to have been aware
ol its great abundance in South-Western Geor
gia. lie ineutions ttiecurious fact, that on the
rivers of Maine, ho lias seen fields that had
boon cleared of their natural growth, the beech,
birch, maple and hemlock, and afterwards de-
sorted, grown up with white oaks. In lower
Virginia the natural growth of forest trees, un
der like circumstances, was succeeded by scrub
ouk mid lob-lolly pines.
Mr. Michaux’s scientific description of the
white onk is ns follows :
Quercus Alba—Foliis subn-qualiter pinnoti-
fidis, luciniis oblungis, obtueis, plerumquo into-
genimis. Fructa innjuscula; cupula craterata
—tuherculoso—scahrata ; glondo ovata.
Our Major’** Niory.
A pleasant mun, though rather addicted to
snuff, is our mujor. He is tull, and has round
stooping shoulders, which some of us don’t
consider at all military.
Our major, ufter the fashion o( most half-pay
officers, is often, according to our national
saying, “ like a Waterfurd merchant, very busy
with nothing to do.”
His snufl-box, his newspapr., his garden,
and his dog, would serve but iidifferently to
fill up tho long hours of a summer day, were it
not for that valuable resource,- -and let stern
philosophers, whether in Dowsers, potticouts,
or bloomers, say what they will, it ts a valu
able, and by no means exclusively feminine
resource,—cosy, gossiping chit-chat. Our
major is a thorough, but most harmless gossip.
It is, however, in telling stories that the
major shines. Ah the public al large cannot
be supposed equally well instructed in these
legends, I will recount one which never fails
to answer to thi word ** executor.”
“ Bo Brown, you tell me, has been appoint
ed executor to Smith’s will,” said the major
the other day, as we were lounging together
against the low, sea-washed wall that divides
Carlisle Terrece from the beach. I’ll venture
to cay the trusts committed to him won’t be us
ttrango as mine were the first time I was made
executor. ^
Some years since, I received a letter from
niy Did friend and comrtulo, Ellis, of the —lb,
telling me that his health had been for some
time declining,—that he wns about to make
his will, and earnestly desired that I would
consent to act as his sole exocutor,— 4 there
being,’ he added, 4 a trust of some importance
to be undertaken, which 1 wish to confide to
no one but yourself.' The letter concluded
with a cordial invitation to pav him a visit at
Ihe snug cottage in Devonshire to which he
had retired. Now Ellis wss like myself—an
old bachelor; and except hia half pay was. I
know, but little burdened with this world’s
baggage and accoutrements, so it never oc
curred to ine that the trust 1 was to undertake
rouid possibly relate to anything wore im
portant than tho bestowal of legacies on his
old housekeeper and butler, or-hia almost
equally antiquated cat and dog. I wrote im
mediately to accept tho in> itntion, and early next
morning I deposited myself and my portman
teau in the E coach, which, after a day’e
travelling left me at my destination. A pretty
vino covered cottage waa my friends’ abode,
and he was himself standing at the garden
wicket, ready to give mo a cordial welcome.
There was nothing very death-like in tho
clear, bright glance of his oye, or in tho firm
grasp of ltis Hand ; and 1 mumbled internally
what tho missive he lied sent me could pos
sibly mean. However, I kept my thoughts to
myself, and followed Ellis into bis neat little
dining room, where the snowy tablecloth was
speedily and satisfactorily covered with a
dish of fried soles, a pair ol boiled chickens,
thoir snowy breasts gleaming amid fresh green
parsley and butter, a jtlicy ham, and a dish of
teuder young peas. Ample justice was done
to this fare by myself, and, despite of his mor
tuary intention, by mine host also. After din
ner he produced a’capital bottle of port, over
which we discussed many of our former cam
paigning advonturas.
Notwithstanding the fineness of the weather
(it waa in the beginning of June), I had caught
ft slight cold in tuy journey, which towords
the close of the evening tuado itself felt in the
very unpleasant form of toothache; and tho
pnin becoming worse, I said to my host,— 4 i
think 1 must ask your liousekeoper to-night for
a bit of flannel and some camphorated spirit to
apply to my unfortunate jaw. You, happy
fellow! can’t know wlmt toothache is, your
teeth all look so good.’ 4 Teeth!’ cried my
host, his countenance changing,— 4 Teeth!’ ho
repeated, shuddering; 4 Ah! you little know
—you can't tell .’
4 What’e tho matter, Ellis—whet do you
mean 7’
‘ I mean that a tooth—an unfortunate tooth,
has been my ruin, and will cost me my life”
And rising Iroui his choir, he pneed up und
down the room in a state of the most violont
agitation. Greatly astonished, I tried of course,
to soothe him, aud induce him to reveul the
cause of this strange excitement. 4 Well,'ha
said ot last, ‘1 will rand for you the will to
which you have kindly promised to become
exocutor.” (I had Hindu no promise of tho
kind, but my poor fritfnd took it for granted I
had done so); and leaving the room, he speedi
ly returned with a folded paper in one hand,
and a very amall round box in the other.
4 Laying these articles on the table, he seat
ed him8olr in his armchair, pushed aside his
class, and making a strongeflorl to speak calm
ly, began,—‘ About two months sinco I had oc
casion to visit the town of T —- on business,
which having speedily despatched, I dined at
tho hotel, and afterwards set out for a stroll.—
I passed through the High Street, and walked
for some wny along the turnpike road without
meeting any object of interest whatever. A
shady green lane opening ou iny right, invited
mo to turn into it—the fragrant hawthorn in
tho hedge, am* fir* cooHv*>ah grass below, of-
<eri»G *» Peasant contrust to (Tie hard dusty
road on which I hud boon walking. I soon
found that this quiat lone led to a still more
quiotand peacefulchurchynid. And thread
ing my way amongst tho tic graves, and
rude headstones, 1 moralized on them aftor
my own fushion, if not precisely according to
that of Harvey. I hod at one time a
•».» Aimly of phrenology, and stilTYe-
tuined a habit of inspecting tho cerebral deve-
lopements of every one I met. It was, there
fore, with Homo curiosity that I picked up a
large, round, weil-blcached skull lying on tho
ground. What particularly interested me,
however, was the great beauty ond regularity
of tho teeth ; Uiey wero all perfect, und even
ly ranged as if they had boon prepared to de
corate the window of some advertising dentist.
Led by an idle impulse, which I could not
then nor can 1 now account for; I pulled out
one of the grinders, put it into my waistcoat
pocket, and, carelessly throwing down the
skull, returned to the inn. Having partaken
of tea, accompanied by sumo excellent muffins,
I went to bed, and being fatigued with my
journey, soon fell uslecp.
4 1 had slept for some time, but how long I
cannot tell, when J waa suddenly awakened
by the door of my room opening. In stulked
a tall figure dressed in black, with a white-
neckcloth ; his head was lurge, nearly bald,
and he wore a pair of gold spectacles. Iu his
hand he carriod a silver candletstick, bearing a
lighted candle,and advancing to my bedside
said in a menacing voice and manner, 4 Why
did you rob mo of my tooth 7’
4 My tongue Huddenlv became paralysed ; I
tried to speak, but could not utter a word.
4 You have taken my tooth,’ continued the
figure ; 4 and now take your choice. I'm not
of a revengeful disposition ; I don’t want to do
or say anything uncivil, hut one of two things
1 must have, and that instantly,—vour life, ot
the best tooth in your head ! So look sharp
aud take your choico.’
4 The extremity of terror restored my voice.
4 Would it not do, sir, to restore your own
tooth again?’ I gasped.
4 No, no!’ replied my visitor, shaking his
head until the gold spectacles slipped down to
the very point of his long nose ; 4 1 think I'm
u retry good-natured fellow to give you the
choico ; so which willyou part with—your life
your tooth?’
4 My tooth." I exclaimed, in agony ; and in
stantly the apparition, with ns much dexterity
as if he had been bred a dun tint, which perhaps
indeed tho rascal was, introduced a forceps in
to my mouth, und neatly extracted a fine sound
molar tooth. 4 Look hero,’ continued Ellis,
opening his mouth, and pulling back the lipi
with his finger ; 4 scu the cavity he has left.’
There was indeed the space where a large
tooth had beou extracted, and I remarked that
rns the only one deficient iu the entire range.
Well,' continued iny friend, 4 tlmt wus not
all. The fellow pockoted iny tooth, ond then
said—
4 Now you must promise on your honor as
f ;eutlemun, that you will preserve my tooth as
ong as you live, nud make {pro vision that aftor
your death it shall be carefully interred with
you. If you don’t—' And with a menacing ges
ture the hateful proprietor of this departed as
became.’
Ellis oponed the little round box, and showed
e, carefuhy enclosed in cotton, the redoubted
tooth.
I really knew not what to say ; it was cer
tainly very difficult to refrain from laughing,
but iny poor friend was so evidently in earnest,
that I merely remurked,—
1 It was a pity the good spectre was not sat
isfied with resuming his own property, for real
ly this tooth is so exactly the same size and
shape as your others, that I think it would
have exactly filled the cavity.'
4 It was strange,’ said Ellis, without noticing
my remark, 4 that after such an agitating oc
currence, I fell asleep; and slept soundly un
til late next morning. I awoke, fovorish and
unrefreshed, and returned home as speedily as
possible, very thankful that tho road did not
pass within sight of the churchyard. Ever
Hince that time my hsalth has slowly hut sure
ly declined ; nut perhaps, outwardly, but I
know and feel that iny hour will soon come,
and the dread of that fiend’s vengeance will
embitter my dying moments, unless you, iny
old tiied friend, will promise to see me buriod
in T—— churchyard, and with your own hand
to place this miserable tooth in iny coffin.'
What could l do but promise 7 The case
was one of dreidod monomania—argument and
ridicule, both of which I tried, only served to
make poor Ellis angry, and he was thoroughly
determined not to see a physician—a measure
which I urged on him strongly.
I remained with him for a few days, and had
the pleasure of leaving him, as I trusted, in
better health and spirits than when wo met;
aud I hoped that hia absurd fancy, aa I deem
ed it, would soon pass away. I was therefore
greatly shocked and surprised when, in about
six weeks afterwards, 1 received a letter from
his old housekeeper, telling me that her master
had died somewhat suddenly, but requested
with his dying breath that 1 should be sent for
immediately.
Need 1 say that 1 hastened to obey the sum
mons 7 Very mournful it wa« t certainly, to
enter the eiluui cottage where I had 39 lately
that death had reeultsd from disease of ths
heart. He, the clergyman of the parish, and
Elba's solicitor, were all, at iny request, pres
ent at the opening of the will. After having
disposed of hia trifling property in legacies,
tho document went on to request that I, whom
he atylod his beloved friend, should have him
doceutly buried in T churchyard, and
follow in all mutters connected with hia inter
ment the instructions previously given to me.
I, ol' ceurae, took an opportunity ere the
coftin closed, to place 4 the tooth* within it;
aud having complied with the strange whim of
my poor friend, I prepared the next morning,
with a heavy heart, to follow hia body to the
grave.
The interment took plaoe without the oc
currence of anything worth recording; hut
after it wr.s over, I felt so wearied and dispiri
ted, that I resolved to take up my abode for
the night at the comfortable hotel at T—.
After dinner I wus suddenly attacked hy my
old eittiniy—toothache; and the pnin, resisting
all the usual applicatious of hrandv, camphor
hot flannel, &c., became at length so violen,
and excruciating, that starting up in a tort oft
frenzy, I inquired for the residence of the heat
dentist in the towu, and speedily found my
self in hia study. Whether it was the effect
of reaction after the rapid exercise I had
taken, or the well-known curative influence
inherent in tho atmosphere of a dentist’s
house, 1 kuow not, hut the pain I was suffering
gradually abated; and when the operator en
tered, i foil almost inclined to make a civil
retreat without putting hia skill to tho test.
However, on second thoughts, I considered it
ns well to lay my case before him, and trv to
obtain some soothing nostrum which might
stand ino in stead on future occasions. I
therefore told him how 1 had been affected,
aud casually mentioned my having come u
long journey that morning, and its melancholy
cauae. 4 Ah!’ said the dentist, thoughtfully,
4 you came from E in Devonshire. The
name of that villa^o is associated in iny mind
with q curious incident which occurred to me
some three or four months since.' Now i hap
pen to have a decided hankering, whether
nnturnl or acquired, after strange atoiica; aud
my curiosity being excited, i begged the den
tist t«i hnvn'the kindness to satisfy it.
Seating himself opposite to me, he immedi
ately complied, and began in those words:—
4 One night, betwoen three and four months
since, I was aroused near midnight hy a loud
knocking and ringing nt the dour. I was just
about to step into bed, and my servants having
long before retired to their rooms, 1 hastily re
sumed inv clothes, and answered the suttimotm.
An elderly gentleman with a military air and
address entered. There was an odd, staring
look in his eyes, hut he told me in a perfectly
cohoren t manner, that he was suffering from
dreadful toothache, and wished to liuve one of
his grinders extracted immediately. Of coursa
l ushered him into this room, placed biin in
the patient’s chair,and proceeded to examino his
jaws. 1 don’t think 1 ever saw a finer or mure
regular set of tcoth—not a vestige of decay
could I perceive in any of thorn—and the one
which he pointed out as tho offender, seemed
to he perfectly free from disouse. However,
he insisted so strongly on having the tooth
pulled out, declaring that hie comfort, nuy, his
very life, depended on its being done, that i
consented, though most unwillingly, to per
form the operation, and iu a twinkling the tooth
was out. Having puid nin my foe, the patient
deliberately wrapped up hia tooth, put it into
hia pocket, rose, nnd wishing me good night,
waa about to depart, when a suspicion which
arose iu my mind caused me suddenly to thrust
a lighted candle close to his eyes. They nev
er blinked; the pupils were fixed and distend
ed; in fact, to cut tho story short, my visitor
was fast asleep, and in a fit ol somnambulism
had left his bed, and caused me to extract his
oxcollent tooth. As he still continued in tho
trance, and it would have been dangerous to
allow ^ p. rev *ded on hiui to
hia way with unerring accuracy to the hotel;
and the gates happening to be open for the re
ception ol the occupants of a night coach, I
was able to see him to hia room without at
tracting observation.
4 On inquiring after him next morning, I
heard that he had left by an early conveyance
lorE , in Devonshire.’
I looked attentively at tho dentist: he was a
tall man, dressed in black, with n white neck
cloth ; his head was large, nearly bald, and he
wore a pair of gold spectacles, which had a
trick of slipping down tn tho point of his long
nose, whenever ha shook his head, which he
did pretty frequently.
4 Did ’ you ever ascertain,’ I asked, 4 the
nonie of your visitor7’
4 Yes,' replied the dentist, 4 Ho took the
blank back of a letter from his pocket, nnd
tore off tho coruor to wrap un his tooth ; the
remainder he dropped on the carpet, and it
bore the address:— 4 Capt. H. Ellis, —th Kegi-
mem, E , Devonshire.’
Here then wns tho explanation of my poor
friend’s monomania. He actually died the
victim of somnambulism. And such n as my
first adventure as executor of a will.
