Premature FuneraI--The COfi N
is Smashed and the Corpse
Comes TO Life.

4 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 and who was fa-
miliarly known as Old Jakey, died Zap
parently) late on Sunday night and yes
terday afternoon his body was put in a
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 horses attached to
the wagon containing the coffin took fright
and broke into mad run, upsetting the
Wagon and throwing the coffin out. 1t
rolled down a small hill, being badly
smashed on its way. The mourners
rushed to the spot and were vastly amazed
to see Old Jakey rising from among the
ruins of his coffin and stareing stupidity
around. His inky black face, snow
white wool and white shroud formed a
startling picture, turning the amazement
of the colored mourners into fright, and
they all took wildly to their heels. Those
who have seen Mr.. T. ID. Rice as the Vir
ginia Mummy can form a faint idea o
the seri-comic tableau.
AS soon as Old Jakey recovered hi:
scattered senses he lay down upon the
ground and yelled Justify for the mourn
ers to come back. They came at length
cautiousl y-one by one-and the old fel'
low was carried home. He was very
well this morning and don't intend tc
die for some time yet. He had been all,
ing for several days and on Sunday night
he apparently stopped breathing. His
limbs became stiff and his body cold
His under jaw fell and his eyes sank fal
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 reason to suppose he was q
dead man. The shock of the upset evi
IDENTIFY resusciated him, and had it not oc'
Cured, poor Old Jakey would now doubt
less be under the sod. He is nearly sew
enty years old and was formerly slave
in Tennessee.-U Cleveland Plaindealer.

E'rUe Grit.

During the last war with Great Britain
party politics ragged to degree almost
beyond conception. The Federalists, who
opposed the war, had secured most Of the
militia officers. A regiment of this State
was ord 4red to stand draft for fifty men
to go to the frontiers, when the Colonel
of the regiment learned that an old, firm,
sound Democrat had an only son, the son
of his old age, who would be II years old
the day after the draft. He Immediately
countermanded the order as to the time,
fixing it one day later. On the morning
of the day an officer called at the old Dem
ocrat's house and asked him at what hour
his son was born. The old man answer
ed him promptly at 10 O'Clock in the
morning. When that hour arrived the
officer warned him to stand his draft.
The old man suspecting that his son
would be drafted, as the numbers, would
be arranged by the Federal officers, had
FURNISHED up the old musket he used in
the Revolution and prepared all the nee
essary accoutrements, including knapsack
and canteen, and with his son drove to the
rendezvous. His son was drafted. The
old man. buckling on his equipments and
handing him his old musket, said: Amos.
my son, go! do your duty; remember that
you are the son of aRevolutionary soldier
disgrace not your fathers name If you
live to return, forever fight the Federalist.
and their descendants, for the now are and
ever will be the enemies of your country.
Amos went. He sustained his fathers
character for bravery at the French Mills
at Stony Creek, and in the Chadaget
Woods. He returned unwounded. Hi
noble father, however, had gone to an
swer to the muster call in Heaven, wher
his Great Commander, Washington, haC
preceded him. Amos has faithfully obey
ed the last part of his fathers command
He fought the Federalists until the.
changed their name, and he is now in hi
old age fighting the Black Republicans
because, he says, he sees in them the sam
earmarks of the Federalists, and know
them to be their descendants in principle
He is of the true Democratic grit,-Ne

said nothing.

OUR UNION.

THE following beautiful and thrilling poem was
written about the year 1s45, by J. f.. Ciane'
voung man, then residing at Vicksburg Mississip-
ri. and connected we believe, with the Vicksburg
Whiq. Its production seems peculiarly appropri-
ate at this time. We learn that Mr.. G. is now a
preacher of the Gospel, but presume this does not
in the least degree, abate the love of "Union" so
tastefuy and touchngly shadowed forth in the fol-
lowing
The blood that Aoweo at Lexington, and crimsoned
bright Champlain,
Still streams along the Southern Gulf, and by the
lakes Of Maine;
1t flows in veins that swell above Pacfc's golden
sand,
And throbs in hearts that love and grieve, by dark
Atlantic's strand.
1t binds in one vast brotherhood the trapper of the
West,
With men whose cities glass themselves in Erie,
classic breast
And those to whom September brings the iresde'i
social hours,
With those who see DEFENDERS brow enwreathet
with gorgeous flowers!
From where Columbia laughs to greet the smiling
western wave,
To where Potomac signs beside the patriot-hero'
grave;
And from the streaming everglades, to Huron
lordly flood,
The glory of nations past thrills through kin
dred blood
Whenever Arnold's tale is told it dyes the cheel
with shame,
And CLOVIS with pride o'er Bunker hill, or Moul
tries wilder fame,
And whercsoe'r above the fray the stars of empir
CLEAN,
Upon the deck, or o'er the dust it pours common
stream
tits sacred legacy, ye never can divide,
Nor take from village urchin, nor the son OF cit
pride
Nor The hunters white haired children, who find
fruitful home,
Where nameless lakes are sparkling, and wher
lonely rivers roam
GREENE drew his sword at EuTsH and beedin
SOUTHERN feet,
Trod the march across the DELAWARE, amid tn
snow and sleet
and 10 upon the parchment where the natal rec
ord shines,
The burning page of JEFFERSON bears FRANKLIN
calmer lines!
Could ye divide that record bright, and tear th
names apart,
That erst were written boldly there with plight
hand and heart 7
Could ye earse a HANcoCK's name, e'en with IL
sabre's edge 2
Or wash out with fraternal blood, a CARROLL
double pledge?
Say can the South sell out her share in Bunker
hoary height?
Or, can the North give up her boast in Yorktown
closing fight
Can We divide with equal hand heritage ofgrave
Or reno in twine the starry flag that o'er the
proudly waves
Can We cast lots for Vernon's soil or chafft
mid the gloom
That hangs in solemn folds about your comm'
Fathers tomb ?
Or, could We meet around his grave as fIatricid
foes,
And wake your burning curses o'er his pure aI
calm repOse
Ye dare not ! is the Alleghania's thunder-ton
decree
IT'S echoed where Nevada guards the blue al
tranquil sea;
Where tropic waves delighted, clasp our fowe
Southern shore,
And where, through frowny mountain gates, N
braska's waters roar.
