ALBERT w. HICKS ALIVE! HIS HISRESUSCITATIONBYTHEEL ELEC-
 O-CHEAIICAL BATH. Thousands see him daily at Poughkeepsie,
DRs. CRANE, BELL AND GREELEY IMPIICA

 There is no further use in concealing that Albert ". Hicks, who was ostensibly exe- cuted for piracy on Bedloe's Island on the 18th of last July, is still living, though in n dangerous state, but likely to recover the full use of his faculties and limbs. The sight of his left eye is gone and his left arm and left leg continue paralyzed; but apart from these injuries, he would appear to have suffered nothing, and his residence at his sisters house in Poughkecpsie has proved every way beneficial,
 It will be remembered that much cont mcnt was excited by the utterly fearless manner h which Hicks conducted himself previous to execution He laughed at the iCfea of the galio.ss. and was only anx ious, as he repeatedly Saf@ to hs,e --rhings -i -ela1 ---oooru1ng to agfcvs-ont J this agreement 1t is now believere....~ prominent federal officer had part; and%,s on record, in the daily papers, that he was present at the execution, wearing his depu ty marshal's badge; although no longer h the marshal's force.
 It was also remarked at the time tht Hicks was only pulled up distance of tpo and q half feet--utterly insutllcientto bre;S his neck; and that he was only allowed Eo | remain thirteen minutes hanging. He Ms then cut down and pronounced dead, attr | which his body was immediately handd over to the care of Dcctor, J. T. Bell and | Henry D. O'Reily, of Brooklyn. Thse 1 gentlemen are responsible for his reSui1fc- 1 ton. and the electro chemical bath invented bv Professor Vcrgnes, was the immcdiste | instrument.
 The body of the pirate was wrapped In | warm blankets and removed at once the house of Dr. O'Reilly, in Brooklyn, where Doctors O'Reily and McIllery, of this city were in attendance. The pulse was fount to De wholly quiet, but after various ex periments, the medical men came to tn conclusion that 1t was only a ease of SIS pended animation. The body was there fore at once placed in the clectro-chemlca bath, and while subjected to the charges the battery, and the action of the aclds, Dr | Crane commenced q series of experiment for the imitation of the lungs
 In the course of about two hours, thes were partially successful, the pirate begln ming to give faint indications ofrcsplratlon and these cheering signs animated the med ;cal men in attendance to Iedoublel exer tions. A cautcry was applied to the rig1 | foot and received answer in an lmmedlal contraction of the leg; the same cxperlmg was repeated under the right ear, talF care not to injure the .iuglar vein, and F head at once commenced to roll in
 ner indicating acute feeling Al,
 Very slowly but steadily, Alber Hicks regained consciousness, thou4of several days unable to speak--hls pat being too severely injurcd. It w4hen found that his left eye-the side ofnlch the moose had becn--had lost all ar ol sight, and that his left arm and le ells.wefe I utterly paraiysed. in this conditHfc was conveyed to Poughkeepsie, whel hfsister' Mrs. .Gavan, lives; and under hS SFi ne IS now sheltered though the 'frhd o' the family do not desire to giYp' mucn publicity to the fact.
 Dr. Calnochan, though fWted rom personal attendance by thcFe lndispo- sition which has prostlated9msook great interest in the case, ana af advlser Tn all its stages. We alsdeM that NIT. StephenC. Massett is no islng fsngh- keepsie, and will shortly ldc supplement- to the confession of Hi escriblns the sensation of being hung IF resuscltated pirate expresses himsd dslnerely sorry to hear of the calamity |cll,ias overtaken, or said to have oseri len, Mir.
