Immediately as the body is removed
from the water press the chest suddenly
and torcibly downward and backward,
and instantly discontinue the pressure
Repeat this violent interruption until a
pair Of common bellows can be procur-
ed. When obtained, introduce the
muzzle we'll upon the base of the
tongue. Surround the mouth with a
towel or handkerchief and close it..
Direct bystander to press firmly upon
the projecting part OF the neck, (called
Adams apple.) and use the bellows ac-
lively. Then press the chest to expel
the AIR from the lungs, to initiate natural
breathing. Continue this at least an
hour, unless 81 gns Of natural breathing
come on.
Wrap the body in blankets, place it
near fire, and do every thing to pre-
serve the natural warmth, as we'll as to
lmpart an artificial heat if possible
Every thing, however, Is secondary to
initiating the lungs. Send Tor a medical

A HEAVY HAUL OF LAND WARRANTS.
w e understand that a Mr.. Wilder. Of
New Orleans, has presented claims for
the bounty lands due the regiment of
blacks who served during the last war
in defence of New Orleans. There can
| be little doubt, we presume, that that
regiment, and their heirs and assigns,
are duly entitled under the law; but
from the sweeping way in which these
claims ale suddenly marshalled, it is
fair to presume that some one has been
at work recently, copying records in
+ the Departments bearing on them. The
law makes no difference as to the color
/ OF those who have regularly served this
| Government in war, granting the re-
ward to all--white, Indian, and colored
according t o service and grade. We
, presume that if these claims are substan-
tated by the evidence usually required,
they will be promptly honored at the
| Pension Bureau.-Star.
The Rio GRANDE MovEMENT.-The
New York Journal OF Commerce, of
Saturday, says:-
ave learn from an authentic source
that two Of the tour companies Of the
fourth regiment u. 5. artillery now
stationed in this harbor, have been or
dereu to the Rio Grande. Two COM
! panies of the third artillery, forming
part of the garrison al Newport, K. l.,
are also under orders to the same point.
The company Of the fourth artillery
stationed at Oswsgo is to be Withdrawn,
to replace in part the force taken from
the posts at this port.
Thuse changes are consequent upon
the advance of Santa Anna upon Car
MARCO, who, it is said, has concentrated
an army Of six thousand men in that
quarter; and Of whose movements the
government have been fully advised.
lRELAND.-The London Times SAYS !:
"In fifty years Ireland will be Protestant
to a man. Both the Roman Catholics
of ireland and the race identified with
that faith, are all leaving Ireland. Ere
long there will be none left. AT the
present rate of emigration, which can
not be less than 100000, chiefly Roman
Catholics, IN a year, oul children will
see the tune when the Cells will be as
obsolete in Ireland as the Phenicians al
Cornwall"
LAND sALEs.-The Centreville, Nd,
Times says:
We understand, per rumor, that land
in Caroline county, along the supposed
route of the Maryland and Delaware
Ship Canal, has risen in price consid-
erabIy lately, and that farms which here
| tofore could have been purchased tol
pretty much nominal price, are now
selling for $50 per acre,
A STRONG TEAM.-There are one
hundred and forty-one locomotives now
in the employ OF the Baltimore and Ohio

long and present the most imposing
, spectacle Of the age. Several of them
|. are capacitated TO run eighty miles pc
