PREMATURE FUNERAL-THE COFFIN Is SMASHED AND THE CoRPsE COMES TO LIFE.- A singular affair occurred yesterday at the negro settlement known as Hog Neck, near the Rocky River plank road, some six miles from the city. An old negro named Jacob Sanders. who was familiarity known as Old Jakey, died (apparently) late on Sunday night, and yesterday afternoon his body was put in rough pine coffin, which was placed in wagon, and the procession-an unusual ly large one--moved towards the grave. While on the way the horse attached to tho wagon containing the coffin took fright and broke into mad run, upsetting the wagon and throwing the coffin out, It rolled down small hill, being badly smashed on it's way. The mourners rushed to the spot and were vastly amazed to sec Old Jakey rising from among the ruins of his coffin and staring stupidly around. His iDky black face, snow white wool and white shroud formed q startling picture, turning the engagement OI the mourners into fright, and they all took wildly to their heels Those who baye seen Mir. T. D. Rice, as the Virginia num- my, can form faint idea of the seriO-comic tabeau.
 AS soon as Old Jakey recovered bls seat. tered senses he lay down upon the ground and yelled Justify for the mourners to come back. They came at length, cautiously one by one-and the old fellow was carried home. He was very well this morning. He had been ailing for several days, and on Sunday night he apparently stopped breath ing. His limbs became stiff and his body cold. His under jaw fell and his eyes sank far back into his head. He lay so all night and through the day, up to the time, in fact when the wagon upset, and his friends had good reasons to suppose he was dead msn. The shock of the upset evidently resuscita- ted him, and had it not occurred, poor Old Jakcy would now doubtless be under tho sod. He is nearly seventy years old, and was formerly slave in Tennessee. e.-Clers. land Plainde0ler

CooLNEss IN THE HOUR oT DEArH-A singular anecdote is related of Robert Fer guson. an elderly farmer living near Utica, N.

He wished his body to be inferred in the grave yard at New Hartford, some five miles distant, and al- most with his last breath e9joined 1t upon his wife and daughter, who were weeping over him, to have the funeral procession leave the house for the grave yard ct an carly hour fin the morning, in order that they might get home in ssasog Co mik Ms eous betore dark { -s

INSECTS INVESTING HOUSE PLANrs-There are several kinds of insects which arc great pests to the cultivator of flowers, and for which vigllant watch should be maintained in order to prevent their ravagcs.
 The most common kind of these insects is the green louse, which often completely cov- CTS the young and tender shoots of roses and other plants. These may easily be de- stroycd by inyerting the pots over tub of water or soap-suds, and immersing the plants, waving them gently to and fro. X soft be necessary to tie piece of cloth over the soil in the pot, or use some other similar means to prevent the soil from falling out while performing this operation The green fly may be destroyed in the same manner. In greenhouses tobacco is generally used to fumigate the plants by burning in furnace, but this is an offensive operation in the house. It may be performed, however, on a few plants at time by taking an iron yes, sel of any kind, putting in few live coals and a small quait.ty of moist tobacco, and turning over this and the plants barrel or large box and allowing them to remain fol some time.
 There is another insect, more difficult tc get rid of, which is frequently to be found on house plants. It is a species of eoeus commonly known as tue mealy bug. They are generally to be found in the axils of the leaves, and greatly resemble little wads oI cotton They cannot be removed by washing but must be picked off by hand. This is 6 slow process, but it must be done when they first appear, or your plants will be ruined by them, as they increase rapidly.
 These are the ordinary insect pests against which it is necessary to guard your plants The red spider is also nuisance. TEese are very small, in fact almost invisible, ex eept to close observer Their presence may be inferred if the foliage appear yellow and slckly. On observing this, turn up the leaves and you will probably find the little fascais at work. They may be destroyed by profuse and repeated swinging of tht plants, and particularly of the under side o the leaves. Constant vigilance is necessar, in the cultivator of flowers to enahIa ' 1.;" :, check the operations of these insects ..f hafo.. = they have had an opportunity to accomnlisf much mischief G. B.
