eleventh century.

MR. SAPIO the once celebrated tenor singer, was born in London, in 1792.
In his early life he was page to Queen Caroline, consort of George IV. He
made his first appearance on the metropolitan stage at Drury Lane, the 1st
December, 1824, as the _Seraskier_, in the "Siege of Belgrade," and he
soon attained and long preserved a high vocal reputation. He died in
obscurity, in London, about the end of November.

One of the most distinguished chiefs of the war of Greek independence,
General JATRAKO, is just dead at Athens. He was one of the primates of
Marna; his family, as his name indicates, have for many generations back
been famous for their hereditary medical talents, and the tradition exists
among them that a branch of their family formerly passed from Sparta to
Italy, translated their name into Medici, and gave rise to the celebrated
family of that name.

PRIESSNITZ, the celebrated founder of hydropathy, died at Graefenberg on
the 26th of November, at the age of fifty-two. In the morning of that day
Priessnitz was up and stirring at an early hour, but complained of the
cold, and had wood brought in to make a large fire. His friends had for
some time believed him to be suffering from dropsy of the chest, and at
their earnest entreaty he consented to take a little medicine, exclaiming
all the while, "It's of no use!" He would see no physician, but remained
to the last true to his profession. About four o'clock in the afternoon of
the 26th he asked to be carried to bed, and upon being laid down he
expired! In early life he received serious injury in the chest from an
accident, and he used to say himself that his constitution was bad; that
nothing but his own mode of life and his own "cure" would have sustained
him. It is not known what attempts will be made to carry on the
establishment at Graefenberg, which was in full activity at the moment of
his death. The most probable conjecture is, that his eldest daughter and
her husband (a Hungarian of property) will carry it on, with the aid of
some physician who has studied Priessnitz's method. This may succeed to a
certain extent, for the place and neighborhood are admirably adapted for
taking the water-cure, and the _prestige_ of Priessnitz's name, as well as
the tradition of his practice, will long survive him: but the attraction
which brought patients, not only from the neighboring cities, but
