A Recruit fl oan the Grave.

The following strange circumstance,
among the most akable that occurred
during the war, is vouched for by Colonel
Ellis, late of the LIST Missouri cavalry,
aud can be attested by the parties con-
ce rned.
A few days after fiecely contested bat
tie in the south, party Of soldiers belong
ing to the LIST Missouri took jaunt over the
battle field, and came up to spot where
the rebel dead were buried. In one place the
hair OF a mans head was seen sticking out
Of the ground like tuit of grass, and near
by hand was seen protuding upwards,
which ev IDENTIFY belonged to the corpse tina,
owned the head Of hair.
Ono Of the cavalrymcn remarked TO his
companions. in spirit Of thougitlcss levi
", "Sce there's dead reb reaching out for
something; let's see what he wants!" In
the same spirit Of wanton mischief, almost
rccklessncss. the cavalryman took hold OF
tho mans hand and hauled the body out OF
the grave, the loose dirt falling back into the
shallow hole. Som after the man began to
stir and manifest signs Of life, to the utter
establishment and horror oft resurrection
lists.
The man was taken by his rcscuers to
their tent and was rubbed dow, washed
oil, and in a few days became as good Us
new. He said that in the battle he was
stunned by shell which knocked him
ssnsecss. He was picked up among the
dead and buried like the rest. Not scratch
was foued on his body. lie said that {
had joined the rebel army sand fought the
Federals long and well, hut as this was his
second appearance on earth he would now
join the Federals and fight for thcm. lie
accordingly joined the LIST Missouri, did a
good deal of,tough marching, and hard
tighting, and last September was mustered
out Of the service and paid off at Benton
Barracks.-.St. Louis Ndrs

A correspondent Of the Waynesburg
(Pa.) Republican, who gives the following
account Of . strange discovery made near
Wayncsburg, a short time since, vouches
for its truth:
''Somc time since as surveyor j. l.. Nc
Connell was passing down Smith Creek,
about one mile from town, his attention was
arrested by some characters on stone ut
the roadside. Upon a close examination
he found that the inscription on the stone
was as follows: Due east. "a g. Study
ing while over tho matter he came to the
conclusion that due east . certain distance
to be represented by the figures 46, there
was something curious. So fixing his com
pass on the spot, he measured the exact
distance Of 2 rods, feet and inches -
Striking his compass staff in the ground he
asccrtaincd that underneath was . metallic
substance Of some kind. Removing the
earth for few feet around what was his
surprise at finding an iron box land what
was more Surprising he found on opening
It that it was filled with silver coin
Of all denominations from . Eve cent
piece to one dollar. Proceeding back
to the stone. which had first arrested
his attention, turning it over he found in
scribed on the other side rs follows: Due
west . 4 g. Surprising something equally
curious It : distance represented BY the
figures 2 9 in due west direction, he
proceeded to measure the distance two rods,
four feet, six inches due west. Upon sink
ing the compass staff at that point he as
ccrtained that underneath was some metal
&c substance. Removing some earth from
about the spot, imagine his surprise At iind
ing an iron DO, exactly like the other, upon
opening which he found to contain gold
coin Of all denominations from dollar to an.
eagle. Hastily selecting some specimens
Of the contents Of both boxes he Allied the
excavations and returned to town. Speci
mems Of the contents Of both boxes can now
Be seen BY any one donbting the truthful
ners Of this discovery. by calling on r. w.

Fanny E. Bailey. residing at Milford, Mass
A criminal intimacy sprapg up betw en-
them, and taking advantage Of her situation
the villain borrowed money Of her on sew
cral occasions, finally involving her to such
an extent as TO compel her to sell her house
and lot. the reward Of long years of in
dustry. This did not satisfy the scoun
drel. He resolved on the ruin Of the ED
est daughter, and he accomplished it. On
the 22d or December last he hired q horse
end sleigh. and took the victim Of his lust
to dance six miles from the village After
the dance he persuaded the girl to accom-
him to the residence Of her cousin. so
miles distant. in the State Of Rhoie Is
land. From thence he sent the horse and
sleigh back BY man. who informed Mrs.
Bailey Of the situation of affairs What
follows is thus related by the Cataract, a
paper published ut COhocs. N. Y:
Qlickly the mother followed the erring
child and cndeavorcd to persuade her 20
return home, but Pattyplacc objected, and
ut last induced her to leave the daughter
in his care, promising to bring her back
the next day. But instead Of this they
took the cars and proceeded to Valley Falls
X. |. where brother Of his resided. and
there he announced her as his wife. Tar.
rying there but singls day they took the
cars and proceeded to Hudson in this State
and 'ame from that city soon aftcrward to
Cohoes. Here he procured board with Mrs
Alger, on tho corner Of White and Sar
geant streets. and lived with the girl rs hi.
wife until Friday Of last week, when he
suddenly absconded, leaving her without
cent Of money or a change of clothing
and Mrs Alger minus three weeks board
The deserted girl Immediately gave infor

any longer at her house, she was cared for
At the expense Of the county

The truth of the trite ad ,ge, IAN ounce Of
prevention is worth pound Of cure" was
never more apparent than at this very time;
and if the people Of Buffalo had been fully
awake to the fact there would not to day
have been 1900 cases Of small pox in the
city! We do not make this assertion for
the purpose Of creating any unnecessary
alarm, but rather with view Of impressing
upon the minds Of the authorities and PEG
pie the necessity Of more strict enforce
mcnt If the ordinances ''in such case mad.
and provided" and more general and
wholesome regard for the welfare Of the
community, collectively and individually.
There is not u street, hardly block, in
the city, where small pox may not be found.
The ordinances make it the duty Of the head
Of the house in which this loathscme disease
has developed itselftc give the public warn
ing, by placing, in sight of all. placard with
the words "small pox." in English and
German. We venture to say that not in
ono ease out Of twenty has this been done.
For this both physicians and people are to
blame, and we trust the health authorities
will see that no further omissions are allow

our good people will promptly employ the

by William Macy, cashier Of the Office. So

currency and the balance in gold. The de-
iaultcr has absconded to parts unknown.
thereby knowledging his guilt, which,
however, is Absolutely proven by the evil
