PREMATURE BURIALs.-A correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Gazette relates the folio wing
During the last prevalence OF cholera, q re.
markable case Of recovery from q supposed
state Of death, and sc pronounced by respecta.
BILE physicians, occurred in the family of a
friend Of mine in Chicago. He was q young
man, recently married. His wife was attacked
with cholera, and died. A few days after her
death he was attacked, and. although he re.
ceived every attention which kind friends and
attentive physicians could render, he was su D.
posed to have died. His body was laid on q
board, and placed near window in the par
Tor, and the usual preparation made for its In.
torment Before the hour for the funeral
service arrived, violent storm arose,
accompanied with loud peals of thunder and
livid flashes OF lightning. This storm aroused
the supposed dead man; he opened his ewes,
moved mis- hands, and thus attracted the notice
Of persons In the room. He revived. lived
nearly week, but died Of congestiye fever.
Now, put for mere accident, this person
wouia nave been buried alive. How many
such cases may have occurred no man knows,
or can know; and unless proper views are
made known and acted upon during the preya-
lence OF CHOLERA there may b many such fear
nj mistakes. II 10 the duty Of the living,
therefore. to see that there are no cases OF
premature intermeAts.

OFFICE sEEKINo

The reduction of force recently made by the
order OF the Secretary discharging fifty first
class clerks, because there was not sufficient
employment for them, seems to have no effect,
whatever, upon office seekers, most Of whom
appear to think that the order referred to was
issued to make room for new clerks, on the
principle of rotation in office, judging from the
profusion OF the applications for places re-
ceiyed at the Treasury daily.
