4 Clergyman Killed Going TO Funeral
The Corpse Returns to Life,

The Lacrosse Republican has a correspon-
dent who was recently visiting at West Bend
Owls. J when he learned the following facts,
which are substantiated by Hon. F. O..
Thorpe, who resides at West Bend.
"On Saturday, the Sd inst, at West
Bend the Rev. Mr. Miller was cailed to go
into the country few miles from town, to
preach the funeral sermon Of Mrs Lambert
She was arrayed in her funeral attire and
placed in her coffin. 1t appears that Mr..
Miller was the owner Of a fractions horse,
that was sometimes unmanageable, and would
run away. He was to pass through tim
bered country, and on account Of snow drifts
the road was almost impossible, and from
this fact the horse succeeded in throwing the
minister from the cutter 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 jugular vein. " hen
he was found, life was almost extinct from
the loss Of blood. He was taken to the
nearest house and medical aid at once pro-
cured, but he only lived short time The
cutter was found some distance from where
the accident occurred, and the horse detached
from it. But the most singular development
of this sad and mysterious affair is yet to be
told |: Further information proves that Mrs.
Lambert was not dead, but had been in a
trance for two days, presenting every indica-
ton that life had departed. She states that
she could hear every word spoken, and could
realize the Preparations her friends were
making for her funeral, but could make nc
resistance or move a muscle Of her body
Her grave had been dug. She now lives,
and the minister who had been called te
preach her funeral sermon now lies buried ir
the same grave made to receive her last re.

Baltimore.

Baltimore will ever be enshrined in the
memories and affections Of the Southern peo-
pie That city and its people have sympa-
tlized with us in prosperity and adversely
And now in the hour Of our poverty and suf-
fering they have not forgotten u.s. Theirs
has been love without reward, kindness with
out recompense, save in our eternal grati
tude.
The plan lately put on foot by hundreds,
nay thousands Of the noble men and women
Of Baltimore, to hold great fair or bazaar
in their city shortly after Easter, for the ben
eft Of the suffering and poverty-stricken peo-
pie of the South, is a noble evidence Of the
love and charity of Baltimore. Speaking for
our people, we find a difficulty in expressing
all we feel, when we contemplate this touch
ing example of sabine charity, so nobly dis
played by the people Of Baltimore, This is
no ordinary fair which they are inaugurating
but it is the substantial utterance Of great
souled men and noble hearted women who
have heard the cry Of distress which has gone
up from our people, and having heard it,
respond in acts and not in acords. We shall
not forget it. It finds a grateful echo in our
breasts and cheers US by its tones even as the
voice OF loved friend brings to the house OF
grief and suffering.
In the bleak moral desert of this cold and
selfish world, Baltimore greets US with an
oasis Of love and compassion. COP bless
her lovely women and whole-souled men !
Already are their names and memories dear
and sacred to many Of our sons and brothers
who once languished and pined in prison. =
The deed Of holy charity with which they
now crown themselves will fill the measure
Of their fame, and cause their memories to
shine with celestial light. The aid which
they shall render to our suffering people will
send ray Of happiness to many a darkened
household, whose inmates, fed and clothed by
the beautiful charity Of Baltimore, will bless
her name and pray for her people.-Rieh.

The Hon. Eli Thayer, well remembered
here in connection with his Western Virgin
ia Colonization Scheme, is taking a bold
stand against the Radicals and their policy,
and is stumping the State Of Connecticut Oh
the Democratic platform and in defence Of
the Presidents speech and veto. In his late
speech in New Haven he said
i; y = The people are not such simpetons
now that men can sustain the President and
Congress any more than they can serve God
and mammon If a man fayors Congress,
why not let him say so, and come out lii fa-
vor of the Bureau bill? I should be glad if
here in Connecticut we could adopt the Wes-
tern plan Of having these questions discussed
On the same platform by speakers Of different
sides. For one | do not hesitate to say that
I would very much prefer this manner of
carrying on the campaign. Whoever the
party opposed see fit to put forward as their
representative man on this issue, let him
come from Congress or wherever he may,
will take my stand in favor Of the veto and
speech Of the President, and the platform Of
the Democratic party. Applause I don't
intend to designate any particular Senator by
name whom / would like to meet here, but
perhaps could make you understand the one
[ mean by initiating his style. When we
see the first light in the morning, you and [
call it, & the break Of day" This Senator
to whom I allude would say, Gone of those
noints Of time Illustrated bv the noets of
Greece and Rome, occurring directly through
the cycle Of the ages, when the Respondent
efulgencc Of the glorious orb Of day first il
lumines the eastern horizon" Who is that :?
Simultaneous cries from all parts of the hall,
" Sumner, Sumner p !" Charles Sumner"
Loud laughter and applause Well, if it is
Charles Sumner you want to come here to
argue these questions on the platform, I hon
estly hope that Charles Sumner will come.
[ would like to see the breath Of life infused
into this contest, and the best arguments of
both sides presented to the people

The New Jersey EenGtOvslin.

Mr.. Stockton headed off the radicals nice
ly, on Friday, while the question Of his right
to his seat was being acted upon. No one
can read the account Of Mr.. Morrill's conduct
without coming to the conclusion tn at that
very worthy Senator has singular ideas Of
what is honorable and right. From the Sen
ate proceedings we extract the following:
The case Of Hon. John P Stockton, Sen
ator from New Jersey, was then taken up,
and the question was taken on the amend
ment of Mr. Clark to insert mot in the res
olution before the words duly elected. p
The amendment was rejected.
The question was taken on the resolution
reported by the committee, declaring Mr.
Stockton to be duly elected and entitled to
the seat, and resulted yeas 81, nays 20.
Before the vote was announced Mr.. Nor
rill asked that bis vote be recorded in the
negative.
Mr. Stockton. Mr. President, hold in
my hand telegram from my colleague,
(Mr. Wright, in which he reiterates the
statement that he had paired off with Mr..
Morrill, Before my colleague left the city
he assured me that he would not 60 ifhe had
not made this arrangement with the Senator
from Maine Mr.. President, ask that my
name be called.
The clerk then called a1r. Stockton's name,
and he recorded his vote in the affirmative.
Mr.. Morrill, said that he had requested
Mr.. Stockton On Wednesday last to notify
his colleague (Mr. Wright Of his intention
to vote on this subject, and as so much time
had elapsed he did not feel bound. Changes
had occurred which constrained him to act
as he did.
Mr.. Nye said he was new member Of the
Senate, and did not profess to be versed in
the rules but he would ask of the Chair wheth-
er person whose right to a seat was contest
ed had a right to vote upon his own case?
The Chair said that there was no rule on
the subject.
Mr.. Sumner 1t is part Of the law Of
nations that man shall not vote in his own
case.
The Chair then announced the passage Of
the resolution by vote of p to q.

The people of the South have looked with
longing eyes to the acts Of Congress for some
light to break on the darkness of their con-
dition. but have looked in vain. Compelled
to give up the unequal struggle they had
borne, with heroic zeal, for four years, and,
having Welded in good faith to the fat of the
successful Mortimer, they set about to show
their acquiesccnce in the settlement, forever,
Of the questions which had vexcd the sections
for SO long period, and did all that was re-
CURED at their hands Under the circum~
stances they naturally looked to the success
full section for moderation, and an cxhlbl-
ton Of liberal ideas which would again set
this once happy country on the high way of
prosperous progress, Instead Of kindness
Of feeling to the Southern people, which
would have challenged the admiration Of the
world removed all the chickering's of the past
and made the people the most united and
happy, and our country the most prosperous
of nations, we find in the Nations Legisla-
ture a seeming determination to irritate, rath-
er than appeasc. and desire to plunge OUT
section into the lowest deep Of humiliation and
dependency Is it a wonder then that the am
bilious, both for fame and prosperity, should
leave our sunny South to seek home in
more favored localities :? The wonder to US
is rather that so few have left the land Of
their nativity.
While we can not find fault with those
who have thus gone from us, yet we counsel
the many who are still here not to despond
of the future. The dark clouds which now
lower about us must ere long be dispelled,
and the foul spirit Of radicalism will have
played its part on the political stage forever.
When the interests of the whole country,
which will be the case at no very distant day,
shall COMPEL the fostering Of the South rath-
er than the discouraging Of her people and
the retarding Of her PROCESS, she will exhibit
as gigantic prosperity as she has shown in
powers of recuperation from the ravages and
deYastatian Of war, and will be equalled by
no section of this Or any other country in the
rapidity of her progress, her productiveness
and her wealth Some of those who have
gone to other States from this do not find
them to be Virginias, and, we learn, are
about returning, and we say to others, who
may be disconnected, profit by the example
Of those about to return to us, remain where
you are and rest assured our Sunny South
at no distant day will be the wealthlest Sec
ton il the Union, and you, instead Of stran-
gers, will be the enyied possessors Of her sa-
cred soil

THE ARLINGTON ESTATE. -Thc vindictive
spirit which actuates the majority in Con-
gress, has brought up the question as to the
title to the homestead Of General Robert E.
Lee. The Secretary Of War has given an
answer on the subject, and sets forth that the
property Of the illustrious chieftain of the ar
my of Northern Virginia, vests in the Gov
eminent of the United States by reason Of it's
purchase at q tor sale. I1ar titles are, at
best, subjects of more or less doubtful legal
ty; but that in the case Of the property Of
Arlington Heights, will, We think, be found
more than usually doubtful. Il the tax for
which the property was sold were levied by
the pseudo Legislature which sat at Aexan-
dria, then, Of a verify, is the purchase more
than questionable. IF the sale was gone
through in order to satisfy a tax levied by
the United States, then, having been carried
out in violation Of the principle Of equality
of taxation in all parts Of the Union, the IT,
tie Of the Federal Government is null and
void In either case, Or in any event, the
SO called tax title to the property Of the
Lees will be, in good time, sifted very thor
oughly in the courts and, we have very lit
tie doubt that the said title will be quashed
with the approval of the public opinion of a
time less characterized than the present by a
spirit Of paltry vindictiyeness, Nee York

ADVENTURE WITH TIE CANNIBALs An
English Missionary, who describes life in
New Zealand in the last number Of sc Hours
at home," relates an incident that occurred
to him on one of the South Pacific Islands.
While on a cruise. he touched at small is
land for fresh food, fruit, and vegetables
Of these he obtained full supply, and was
about leaving, when chief asked him if he
would like some flesh food. Says the mis-
slonary:
Thinking that doubtless they had hogs, l
said yes; he gave quick glance around him,
as if he were looking for a messenger, and
singled out and called to fine young lad, APP
parently about IS years of age. The boy
came and stood before him; and before |
knew what he was about to do, and having
my back turned to him, looking at the fruit,
&C., I heard the sound as of heavy blow,
and looking quickly round, found the still
quivering body of the boy laid at my feet,
with the words, q TEevi ano kai?'' Us that
food sufficient for YOU'D Horror stricken, |
denounced most bitterly the deed, and leav-
ing all the provisions behind on the ground,
returned sorrowfully on board
We learn from the Alexandria Gazette,
"that the long unsettled difficulty about the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad, has at last
been adjusted; and that on Wednesday next,
on which day Mr.. Quigley will return from
Philadelphia, the books, papers, accounts,
&C., of the Railroad will be turned over to
the officers Of the Company elected at the
meeting Of the Stockholders held in Alexan-
dria on the 9Th instant"

was laid before the President. AS might

fairs, and also his appreciation Of the indie
pendent character of the man, who would
not pay " one cent for tribute" enclosed it
to the Paymaster General with the following
endorsation:
The Independence exhibited by the writer
in resisting the attempt to levy a tax upon
him as an onice-holder under the Federal
Government, and his just estimate Of corrupt
principles, entitle him to respect and appro-
baton. [, therefore, as an evidence of my
appreciation of the qualities manifested in the
letter, recommend him to the Paymaster Gen

The Fenian World is all agog with the re-
ported escape from Ireland, of Stephens, the
Great Head Center Of all the Fenians Some
do not credit it, believing that he has no
desire to leave Ireland and is still there ar
ranging for the freedom Of the Emerald Isle,
while others believe he has left and will soon
be among us organizing his legions for the
great struggle for Irish Independence Ar
rested some time since and thrown into one
of the strongest Of English prisons, its doors
opened III some mysterious way, at his
own will, and he remained in Ireland, foiling
the detectives, at every turn, in their endeav-
ors to find him, until a few days since, when
he is reported to have left Erin for France or
America. His intended escape was known
to the detectives and yet he drives, in COM
pany with FIVE others, in an open carriage,
through the streets Of Dublin, on a quiet
Sunday evening, to point 80 miles north of
that city and embarks for-no one knows
where. A wonderful degree of perseverance
under difficulties Head Center Stephens ex-
hibits, and England may long regret the day
of his escape from Richmond Bridewell
