a private letter, from Wing oil Virginia, to
friend in that city -
81 have been long trying to get my domestic
matters in such condition as would enable me to
visit your State more to Mr.. Clay, than for any
other purpose; and if God spares my life, and
his another year, mean to go and 1t he dies,
still I'll go and see his grave, and weep over it
bring some of the earth from 1t, and put 1t round
an aloe that my wife is growing for such men as
he, like the aloe, bloom but century-if, in
deed so often"

por, which had lasted several hours the invalid had
heard all that had been said bv those who wore
weeping around her she had heard the decision of
the physicians, the sobs Of her family and the or.
ders given for her funeral This is one Of the ter
rible pecularities of lethargy. The invalid is mo-
tioness, speeches., inanimate and cold and vet
can hear every thng-he feels that he is living,
and yet can give none of the signs Of life and is
utterly without the power of defending himself from
the funeral preparation to conduct him to his tomb.
What horrible anguish, and what horrible suffer-
ings Here, the lethargy only lasted few hours
but if it had prolonged, what would have been
the sequel? We shudder at the bare idea Of these
fnghtfnl dramas the secret of which the earth con-
ceals, but which are occasionally brought TO light.

dsinterred in order TO have her remains transport

expense. The coffin was opened, and it was prov
ed, by evidence but too conclusive, that the unhap.
ny child had revived after her burial Among the
English of high rank 1t is customary to expose the
dead upon bed of state as IS done with the Lrin-
ces of France. A noble lady, the wife of an ad.
miral, had laid three days upon this funeral bed,
surrounded by lighted candles, in a chapel hung
with black the ceremony was nearly ended, the
bells were tong for the iunera when, all at once,

this lady lived she passed portion OF the last
winter in Paris, in the enjoyment of perfect health
These are sad Incidents but is well to recall them
whenever the occasion offers. The evil IS a great
one, but the remedy,s an easy one. Why not pro-
long the transition from the bed of death to the
tomb We have ourselves urged this before, and
others have done the same. In some of the States
of Germany and Italy, there halls in which the
dead remain awhile, before they are consigned to
their last abode. Every once in a while, one of
these is restored to life and humanity reoces. Let
the phanthrotiss, therefore, think of these things.

ALMOST BURIED ALIVE, The Paris correspon-

kable escape from burial alive, which recently &C.
Cured in that city Not long since, premature
rumor announced the death of young lady Mad
ame Paul de la Roche--a name doubly endesred
to all lovers of art This sad news was announced
in all the evening papers, but was contradcted in
all the morning journals. This time, however, the
publication had not been in consequence of one OF
those deplorable impostons, which sometimes an
nounce an imaginary funeral The mistake was an
honest one. The public voice had but repeated the
lamentations of despalring family. Influenced
by one of those whms, so common to the sick, the
young lady we are speaking of had expressed, to
her husband, wish to be buried with all her rings
on When they supposed that she was dead her
desparing husband wished to fulfil her last wish
and whilst he was passing the rings on her fingers
emaclated by disease and suffering, he felt her cold
hand tremble slightly in his own. The eyes which
he had Just closed, opened again-the heart, which
had seemed to stop, beat once more-her breath

may save many lives.

s. That no freeman is quit of his accountability
in this matter who doeth not all he can to have the
OK restrained.
10 RcSotred, That it becomes every man pro-
Tossing the principles of temperance to patronlze
temperance establishments, both at home and
abroad even if need be, at a sacrifice Of personal
convenience.
l6 Resoired, That committee Of chemists be
appointed, whose duty it shall be to ascertain the
various ingredients used in the manufacture and
the aduIteration of alcoholic drinks, and report the
result of their Investigations soon as may be to
the State Central Committee, that the same may
be by them published for the benefit of the State.
II. Whereas the use of alcoholic liquors for
pharmaceutical purposes, has not unfrequently both
directly and indirectly, produced habits of inebrla-
ton with all their fatal consequences, and whereas
the necessity of their being thus used in some in
stances, continues an unwarrantabe excuse for
J their improper use in numerous other cases, and
their being thus used forms n serious obstacle to
the perfection of the temperance reform, therefore
ReSolrfd, That the Medical Profession be re-
qucsted, most seriously carefully and conscientious
ly to reflect on this subject and that they may be
requested to refrain from recommending these de-
ceptive agents, for either pharmaceutical or mcdi-
cinal uses when their places can be supplied by
other articles, equally beneficial without their in
herent nOXious qualities.
49, Resolved, That committee of three be APP
pointed to request the owners and directors of the
steam packets on Lake Champlain to abolish the
sale of sprituous liquors on board their boats
10. ReSoired, That the Vermont Temperance
Society learn with deep regret and concern that ii
some portions Of the State, members of differen
christian churches are still engaged in the vending
and use of intoxicating drinks, thereby lending
their influence to the countenance of one of thu
most enormous evils with which our State is al
hicted.
90. Resolrsd, That the warnest thanks are du
to the ladies for the noble and effective stand whic
they have taken in behalf Of temperance, and it il
hoped that they will neither abandon their position
nor remit their efforts so long as the demon of in
temperance shall continue to claim his victim.
