A Clergyman Killed Going to a Funer
al-The Corpse Returns to Life.

The La Crosse Republican has cor
respondent who was recently visiting at
West Bend (Wis. when he learned the
annexed facts, which are substantiated
by Hon. F. O. Thrope, who resides at
West Bend
On Saturday. the 81 inst, at West
Bend, the Rev. Mr.. Miller was call to 60
into the country few miles from town
to preach the funeral sermon Of Mrs. Lam
bert, who was supposed to be dead. She
was arrayed in her funeral attire, and
placed in her coffin. 1t appears that Mr..
Miller was the owner Of fractions borse
that was sometimes manageable and
would run away. He was to pass through
tmbered country. and on account OF
snow drifts the road was almost impasa-
BILE, and from this fact the horse soon sue
ceeded in throwing the preacher from
the cutter and was soon his own master.
From appearances, Mr.. Miller was
thrown with great force upon large oak
stump that was filed with short knots
One Of these knots came in contact with
and severed the juglar vein. When he
was found life was almost extinct from
the loss of blood He was taken to the
nearest house and medical aid at once
procured, but be only lived short time.
The cutter was found some distance from
where the accident occurred, and the
horse detached from it. But the most
singuiar development of the sad and
mysterious fair is yet to be told.
Further information proves that Mrs.
Lambert was not dead. bnt had been in
trance for two days, presenting every
indication that life had departed. She
is now improving and is expected to re-
cover. She states that she could hear
every word spoken and could realize the
preparations her friends were making foi
her funeral, but could make no resistance
or move a muscle Of her body. Hel
grave had been dug. She now lives and
the minister who had been called iC
preach her funeral service now lies bu'
ried in the same grave made to receive
her last remains.

Eds. appeal; l have recently travelled
through Carroll snd Holmes counties,
and made particular inquiry of every
intelligent man about the prospect of
crop in his neighborhood. The general
opinion was, that not more than one
third Of the labor was now engaged in
planting, as compared with the labor bea
fore the war; some said they thought
they might have half the labor When
l got to Holmes, on road leading from
the Lexington road to Tchula. | found
much better state of things; some persons
had retained nearly all their old servants,
and some were working a larger force
than they did before the war; and the
negroes were working better. and were
more obedent and polite. But even in
this neighborhood some had lost all their
negroes, but the land was, as far as l
could learn. generally in cultivation.
Much land in every other neighborhood
was not in cultivation, and none thought
the negroes were doing more than half
work. In my own neighborhood l doubt
whether third of the force is employ ed
that was working before the war. No
plantation has a full force, and some
plantations are almost abandoned. Is
this the situation of the cotton country
generally? II so, what amount of cotton
can we expect to be raised this year,
lhiuk / can confidently say that this
neghborhood cannot possibly make the
third of the cotton it did before the war,
even if the negroes would work as well as
they did then; but no man Of experience
will say that they do. The old, and best
planters, in many instances have given
up planting, for they cannot stand the
present system of work; and young. in
experienced men fill their places. They
may do well. but that is to be tested.
am an old citizen, and have been
constantly engaged raising cotton since
1910, and l assert it as my belief that in
this neighborhood the cotton crop will
not be one third Of what it was before the
war. 1t might do good-it certainly
would be interestingly some one in eve
ry county would give us, through your
paper, the prospect for cotton crop
this year. }. M. L.

Had conservative sentiments ruled
the deliberations of Congress instead
of crazy Radicaism, the rehabilita-
ton of the States would have now
been complete, and the wounds OF
the past four years would have been
nearly healed instead of being con
tinually lacerated and opened atresh.
When the Union of the States will
again be complete is a problem not
easily solved by the lights before us.
Unless the people of the North see
fit to rebuke the Radicalism of Con-
gress by electing new and conserva-
tive men to represent them in that
body, we see no indications of the
early restoration of the Southern
States, if left to those who now rule
the nation, unless they modify their
demands, whichmay be induced by
unforeseen contingencies that may
arise.-Logrange (Ga.) Reporter.

RADICAL GRIEF.

The st. Louis Democrat expresses
the opinion that mo hearty and in
telligent patriot can rise from the
perusal of the Presidents veto of the
Civil Rights bill without an mex
pressiblc feeling of sorrow and indig-
nation"
All the intelligence and patriotism
of the American people is confined,
of course, says the Jackson Miss. J
Standard, to the ranks of the Ra(.i-
calls. Even that branch of the Re
publican party which stops u little
short of the high ground whereon
stand the lofty patriots, Stevens and
Sumner, no longer possess any intel
ligence, virtue and patriotism.
The grief of the RAIDS is poignant,
The President gives them great
trouble. He is a perverse obstacle in
their way. They cannot wheedle, in
timidate nor crush him. He acHl
stand erect and defy them. The
order of Radical hatred for the Pres
ident is very much like that which
obtained in the South for the same
individual a few years ago.
The President is as firm as a rock.
Opposition strengthens his purpose.
He is the lmplacable, the inveterate,
the immovable and the successful foe
to all disorganizers, diSunionists and
revolutionists North, South, East or
West. If the first old Hickory had
not uttered those memorable and en-
phatic words, by the Eternal, the
Union, it must and shall be pre-
served" We are sure that johnson
would have incorporated them in the
American vocabulary.
Meantime the Radicals are weep
ing over their want of power to break
up the Union. If they persist i'll
their disruption schemes they may
have cause to shed tears of blood
before they see the end Of it.

T3- The negroes of Georgia we learr

GF- The negroes of Georgia we learn
from the papers are moving to get up a
State Convention for the purpose OF chos-
ing a delegate to Congress "from the
Territory of Georgia" They do not,
however, seem TO proceed very harmoni-
ously, for at an election which they held at
Macon yesterday week there was cons
siderable row and one freed man was
stabbed, one badly beaten, and two were
shot. 1t is stated that the scheme is IN.
der the auspices of a society called the
Georgia Equal Rights Association, Of
which the parent society is at Augusta.
We have no means Of knowing who
set on this row, but we Infer that the
freedmen began and conducted it.
1t is a strange scheme aud must result
from some objectionable delusion like
that which inspired the negroes with the
belief that the property of these States
was to be divided among them at New
Years day.
That they may entertain hopes ofsome
thing, whereby honor and profit may be
got, is not improbable but certainly de-
lusions like the one we are abiding to are
very pernicious, and, it seems to us, ough
to be Immediately corrected by those who
have the welfare of the freedmen in Their
especial charge.
