Salisbury, April 15.  A few days ago died at Hartmore, near
Devizes, Mr. Henry Axford.  He lost his speech in the year
1740, by catching a violent cold after dancing, and was dumb
for five years after; when dreaming one night that he was
falling into a furnace of boiling wort, he was so terrified
that he screamed out, and instantly recovered his speech,
which he retained during his life.
