the diseases, no matter how long standing or

DR.. ToZer has, it is well known taken pa
tients from the very verge of the grave, and
restored them to perfect health. He would fur

Death from Suspended Respiration

A correspondent of the Marysville News,

untary suspended respiration on the part of
a miner in Dollar Gulch, in Yuba county,
which was productive of death. There was
a bet between, this man, whose name was
John Thomas, and Ephraim Maringer as to
who could hold his breath the longest. The
bet was for $40. The result is told as fol-
lows:
Smallwood, in whose store, the parties
were gave the word, and both drew a long
breath. Second after second rolled away in
to minutes; one-two-three minues-and
Maringer gave in with loud puff, not being
able to stand it longer At this spectators
loud by laugh; but Thomas gave no sign
or motion to show that he was aware of his
having won the wager, but sat with his head
bowed upon lis breast, still, immovable. e.
"Holoa, Thomas. Old fellow you've won,
What are you sitting there for! Get up and
stand treat" some one said TO him. Not
replying the company became alarmed
They shook him-rased him from the chair
he was dead. DR.. Springall was immedi-
ately called in; but all hopes Of recuscitation
were gone. Life had become entirely extinct
DIR. Springall assisted by DR.. Wells, and
Glaubeln, held a post mortem examination
upon the body of the deceased, the result of
which showed that the heart had been COM
pletely burst asunder, cau-ing death instant
ly. Marlnger expresses great deal of sor-
row for the loss Of his friend, cursng his fol-
ly, and protesting he can never more be hap

BEARING OF APPLE TREEs-A horticultu-

Of the best sort of apple trees, which have
neither sprung from seeds or grating. His
plan is to take shoots from the choicest sorts
insert them in potato, and put them into
the ground leaving but an inch or two of ;be
shoots above the surface. The potato nour-
ishes, the shoot whilst it pushes out roots,
and the shoot gradually springs up and be-
comes a beautiful tree, bearing the best of
fruit, without requiring to be grated.
