A MAN COMING TO LIFE AT HIS OWN
FuNERAL.-In Orange, N. j., week be-
fore last, a man named John Knox, while
engaged in painting on the third story of
a house, fell to the ground and was Ia
ken up for dead. He was taken to his
residence, laid out, and his afflicted re-
latives and friends in due time proceeded
TO make the usual arrangements for
the funeral, which was appointed for
Sunday. Shortly before the hour APP
pointed on that day, the body exhibited
signs of returning animation, and in a
few moments afterwards, to the astonish-
mcnt ofall, the young man in the coffin,
who was of course believed to be dead,
was able TO converse with his friends
1t is a singular case, and the mans es
cape from being buried alive is truly
miraculous. The physician, however,
pronounces his present condition as ex
tremely critical. and il is doub ed wheth-
er he may survive the injuries sustained
by the fall.

And it g suits u.s. too, and we believe
it will nine tenths of the Republicans of
Michigan. 1t would make ticket that
would sweep over Michigan like whirl
wind, aud carry, we verify believe, every
Northern State. If we are to have a
Southern man on the next Presidential
ticket, who SO fit, and who SO deserving
as Mr.. Blair Still, that is aquestion
for National Convention TO settle, and
all will abide the decision it may make
if fairness and the principles of the party
are faithfully adhered to.-Detroa id
