DcscarvilIe.
He is dead he is dead = cried Joseph,

to ''is oenumhcd limbs. Accustomed to suclt
circumstances, Joseph well knew the danger
OF approaching fire in his present condi-
lion; he sent for tub Of snow, with which
he rubbed his limbs and body I'LL a reaction
took place, the blood was again thrown to
surface, and the skin resumed its healthy
functions. As soon as he was able he rn.
turned to the three Young men whom he had
saved. When thew saw him ,h.v soized
