REMARKABLY ESCAPE FROM A
LIVING GRAVE.

LIVING GRAVE.
A young German, recently married
TO handsome lady of very respecta-
ble parcntage, was taken suddenly i'll
at his place Of business last Friday
He was placed in carriage and Ia
ken to his residence on Erie street,
where he laid in great agony until
Sunday, when the disease SO prostra-
ted his physical powers that he lay
motionless upon the bed, while weep
ing friends surrounded the couch. To
all appealifaces he was dead, and it
was so decided.
Arrangements were about to be
made for the interment, when tho
young wife, feeling she could not give
him up SO soon, insisted that the fn-
neral be postponed until Tuesday
morning To crafty the woman thus
brought SO speedily TO mourn the loss
of her husband, the funeral was post
poned The disconsolate wife spent
most of the day on Monday in the
same room with the corpse, weeping
as though her heart would break, and
still cinging TO the idea that he could
not be dead.
Abonght twilight on Monday even
ing, when everything about the house
was perfectly quiet. except when the
stiffness was broken by the sighs Of
the bercaved widow, there being but
few persons Ia the room, the body
seemed to move. 1t was but slight
motion, yet sufficient to arrest the
attention of the fearful eye.
When the wife insisted that life was
not extinct, that the body did move,
her friends became anxious about her
reason and tried to divert her mind
from the sorrowflh scene. Two long
hours we're spent in conversation, the
friends urging that she was deceived,
possibly by the fiickering light, as the
shadows it cast might lave produced
the effect she ascrIbed to vitality
The feeling Of that little circle Of
devoted friends is known only to
themselves and Him whose all-sceing
eye visits the inmost recesses of our
hearts. During the conversation all
eyes involuntarily rested upon tho
habiliments Of the grave and the fea-
lures Of him whom they supposed
would soon become one of its occu-
pants. AT the end Of the two hours
another slight movement was per-
ceived by all the party. The scene
which followed can never be described.
The wife clung to the motionless
form ofhcr husband, alternately weep
ing and begging Of him to speak just
one word, while the friends wcpt for
JOY, FASTENED for a physician alarmed
the servants by their strange conduct,
and prefented a scene Of confusion
generally When the physician ar
rived, the friends we're assembled about
the LIVING man, suggesting and ap-
plying all the restoratives ever heard
of or dreamed of by any Of the party,
while the wife, overwhelmed with JOY
aud completely worn out with excess
i've excitement, had swooned away
and was lying at the side of her hus-
band, in the same death-lilIe stiffness
that had embraced his form but a few
moments before.
The physician took the necessary
steps to restore the woman and resus-
citate the man, which was speedily ac.
complished in both cases, and Us VIC
write to-day the woman is joyc0s and
happy, while the man thinks his cs
cape from a living grave one Of the

1t will be seen that soldiers of the
age Of Is outnumbered those Of every
other age. But there were many
younger boys in the army, There
were l27 Of the age Of 13; $50 OF II,
and TT3 Of Is. There is not State
in which the soldiers of l8 were not
much more numerous than those of
any other age. The ages of officers
arc different. The greatest number
of any one age were those Of "a years
old. The whole number of officers
belonging to these original regiments
was 81, lS4. OF these there were 1884
who were 20 and under; 1850 of II ;

The close of "The Blanket Thiefs" article
requires a passing notice. The subject is

thoroughly ventilated. Our course was tri-
umphautly vindicated, at the time, By large
and enthusiastic county convention, called to
consider the rights of persons. property. tree
speech and free press. Charity to the per
sons guilty of getting up and conducting that
mob should have kept The Blanket Thief
and his advisers silent. But we do not COM
plain that they drag their lady friends before
the publis, and provoke us to expose some Of
their weak points. We did not seek the con-
troyersy, and we shall not shrink from dis.
cussing the acts of those who. we think, did
us a great wrong.
We are charged with "slandsring the no.

to induce the soldiers aid society to publish
