MRS. REBECCA FARRINGTON is the wife of William Farrington, and a daughter of William Burch, who lives about six miles from Farber, in Audrain County. A few weeks ago a very distressing fever succeeded Mrs. F.'s confinement, her physician (Dr. Vandeventer) reporting her pulse at one time at the almost unprecedented height of 160. During her illness she was at her father's, under the care of her mother. About an eighth of a mile from the house is an artificial pond for watering stock, to reach which a high fence must be crossed or a gate unfastened and opened. Mrs. F.'s illness, which finally assumed the form of erysipelas, was regarded as very dangerous, and her mother and kind women of the neighborhood kept constant watch over her, fearing a fatal termination of the disease at an early period. One night during their watching, and before the family had retired, all the nurses for a moment happened to leave the room. On their return they found, to their amazement and consternation, that Mrs. F. had left her bed and the room itself, and after immediate search, could nowhere be found. Her father and others then penetrated the darkness of the yard, searching for her and calling her aloud by name. Going to the part of the yard nearest the pond and calling her, she answered from that direction. Hastening to the pond, her father found her in it, completely submerged except her head and neck. He and others speedily took her out of the water and to the room she had left, where she disclaimed all knowledge of what she had done, assuring her father that the sound of his voice restored her to consciousness while she was in the water. From that very hour, as we are reliably informed, Mrs. Farrington commenced to recover, and is now completely restored to health. And not so very singular, to those who are accustomed to treat fevers with water.
