A SISGULAR CAsE-Resrly Buried dire
A letter from Cleves, Hamilton county, Ohio,
says: "Wat Eckman wealthy citizen of this
place, was taken violently i'll on the morning of
the 18th, and by having the prompt and kind
services eff two erudite lEsculapiuses, received
his "quietus' at about five o'clock the same day.
Next morning the defnnct Eckman was kindly
slowed away in his coffin and ioltcd in a mar
ket wagon to the Bere Church, distance of
two miles, where funeral sermon was preach
ed by the Rev. VIM. Lee. The solemn thing
was about concluded, the last hymn was read,
and the choir was obout to "stike up" when
they were suddenly annoyed by discordant and
very unmusical sounds and kicks, which it seem
ed obvious were going on inside the cofin.-
You may possibly imagine there was some con-
sternation in that Westinghouse about that time
well, there was nothing else for a few min
utes. AT least halfthe congregation broke for
the door, and the balance were about to follow
suit, when the Rev. Mr.. Lee descended from the
pulpit, and in loud voice ordered the coffin to
be speedily opened, which was done, when it
was found that Wat. was not only alive and
kicking, but was struggling manfully to free
himself from his-to INTERPRETATIONS confiue-
ment. The blood was flowing freely from his
mouth and nose, but in few minutes he was
able to speak. He was Carried 10 the house of
Abraham Patterson, Esq, about two hundred
yards from the church, and a physician was sent
for, who remained with him until thenext morn
ing, when he was able to walk about the
room"

TnE Arrest OF JuDe1 VoNDERsIlTH.-The
telegraph has already mentioned that the Hon,
Daniel B. yOndersmith, formerly one of the as.
sOciatc judges of Lancaster, CO., Pa, was arrest
ed on Tuesday and taken to Philadelphia, TO
await his trial upon several indictments which
have been pending against him for over three
years, for forging land. warrants The Lancaster
Esprees says:
It will be recollected that in the early part of
1854 Mr.. YondeTsmith and George Ford, Esq,
ono of the most prominent members Of the
Lancaster bar, charged with similar offense,
both forfeited their bail and left for parts I'M
unknown. Yondersntith went to Europe, via
New York, having been escorted from Lancas-
ter to that city by some friends in sleigh, and
after sojourning in Europe for. over two years
returned to New York some time last fall or
summer, and eventually ventured home again,
where he has been since last September. His
presence at home was not generally known for
long time, but of late he had become less eau
tious, and ventuTed out to visit some Of his
neighbOrs in daylight. He had also commenced
fixing up the beautiful grounds connected with
his residence, placing his faVorite flowers in the
summer-houSc and had introduced the water
into the fountain in his garden, the pipes hav-
ing been torn up or disarrnnged while he was
making the tour Of Europe. A deputy q. S.
he was on his knees with trowel, dressing up
a flower bed. BE was Immediately taken to
Philadelphia, and will have hearing before
Judge Kane to-day. The prisoner and Ford, it
is alleged, obtained between $4,000 and $70,-
600 by forging pension claims. Ford, it is said
has also returned from Europe, and has settled
somewhere in the West.

THE PRosFEcr FOR PEACE IN KANSAS
private letter received from Hon, Fred.P. Stan,

ceedingly graphic description of the country,
and the present affairs of Kansas. He says:
81 have been here now nearly two weeks
The country is indeed very beautiful and invi.
ting, but it is perfectly new and uncultivated.
We have none Of the couveniences of living,

vented the farmers from making or saving any
crops; and now most every thing we cat is haul.

this the people are coming in great crowds
Most of them come, however, with a view to
speculation. This brings great deal of money

these prices will not last One year of peaceful
industry will give peace and prosperity to the

SUIT AGAINST THE HENPEIELD RAILROAD Cox
rANY DEcDED.-Hon. R. @. Greer, of the United
States Circuit Court, sitting in Pittsburgh, de-
livered on Monday last an opinion in the case of
Fox vs.. the Hemptield Railroad Company, which
was argued at the last term of the Court. The
following report we clip from the Pittsburgh
Post:
This was an action for breach of covenent,
and the damages were laid at $50 600, The plain
tiff, it appeared, was contractor on section 81 of
the road, and sued for the above amount as the
probable profits which would accrue from the
work had he been permitted to prosecute it to
completion. He also declared that he had OK.
pended $24,0 on the job, for which he had
received no compensation. The defence held
that under the terms of the agreement, he was
bound TO submit the matter to the Chief Engi-
neer Of the road, who, twas coYenanted, was to
decide finally in all matters of dispute between
the parties in relation to the work, and that he
was not entitled to recover, inasmuch as he had
not done so. The Court held that the award OF
the Engineer should first have been had in the
matter, and that inasnuch as the questions at
/ issue had not been submitted to him, the plain.
tiff was not entitled to recover. Judgment for
j defendant.
