Buried Alive.-A Horrible Death.

From the Eau Claire (Wis.) Free Press.
On Wednesday of last week man by the
name of VIM. Bond, familiarly known by
most Of our citizens, was buried alive while
digging in sand bank . short distance from
his mill on Fall Creek. The particulars of
the case, as related by John billiard, his
brother-in law, are as follows:
Mr.. Bond, with two of his workmen, was
hauling dirt from sand bill, a short distance
southwest from his mill, for the purpose of
repairing damages done his farm by the recent
freshet. They dug into the side of the hill
to such an extent as to leave sand roof hang
ing over their heads, when one of the work
men expressed fear that the sand bank
might cave off and come down on them. Mr..
Bond, being of the same opinion, thought to
dig under little further, and thus give the
upper portion of the bank sufficient force to
throw linear the dam, and save the trouble
of battling, While thus engaged the bank
caved of, and he was covered all but his head
and neck. The workmen Immediately at
tempted to rescue him from his perilous con-
dltion: they at first attempted to phil him out,
but failing in this attempt, commenced dig.
cling the dirt away from him, when he asked
them if it would be likely to cave again; they
told him they thought it would. He then,
with considerable GOODNESS, and truly un-
selfish spirit said to them, stSave yourselves,
boys; It's no use staying here; l shall be buried
alive" Hardly had these words been spo.
ken when down came another volume of sand,
covering him to the depth of several feet
The two men then set to work removing the
dirt as fast as possible, thinking they might
| save him. They worked three hours and q
half before they succeeded in extrcating him
from his premature grave. When frs,
brought to light he was of purple color.
After rolling him on board. and bathing him
thoroughly with spirits, it is said life like
color was restored to his face and neck, and
his ears were really warm. But it was in
vain the spark of life had been too long ex-
tinct,

Dry Goods IN New York.
The New York Journal of Commerce says
Of domestic dry goods:
There is stronger market for nearly all
classes df domestic fabrics, but this Is based
less upon the supply and demand than upon
the rise in gold, and the prospective cost Of
manufacture. Such an advance at this stage
of the season is apt to discourage consump
ton and stimulate production, and thus to
defeat the prophecy which lies at its own
foundation. 1t would be far better that the
goods now in the channels Of distribution
should be retailed without reference to the
supposed cost of new supply. but every
thing in this country seems to be discounted
on time" and whenever . cause is visibly at
work, that which should be its natural effect
is set in operation TO precede it. Thus by
anticipation we seem often to set all natural
laws at defiance. We prepare for an ebb tide
by q food, and we often look out SO sharply
for food. that the flow is counteracted, and
all our preparations for high water mark are
left to sink IN the mire. In view Of this We
say to the trade that the beginning Of dull
summer is bad date for putting up prices.
Also Of foreign goods:
The market for foreign goods is inactive.
A few thin dress fabrics are wanted to replen-
ish assortments, but for others there is blu,
little demand Printed lawns and jaconeta
are in extensive supply, and offered 1t greatly
reduced rates; black and colored silks are in
moderate request, woollens generally main.
tain prices, and heavy grades are placed al
higher figures. The auction sales of the week
have been small, and chiefly Of irregular lots
to close invoices.

drawn into the society of the vicious. His
property soon disappeared, and he was left
without resources sufficient to buy his daily
bread. His musical talents had been highly
cultivated. but q he never needed them, he
scarcely knew to what degree they could be
made available. In his distress, however, he
wrote the charming song, "Ever Of Thee"
A London publisher gave him one hundred
dollars for it, but that amount, with such a
spendthrift, would not last long. He wrote
other songs, but the money not coming in a.

WoNEN's RlGHTs IN THE CARs.-A railroad
conductor was recently before the Judicial au-
thorities at Buffalo to answer to charge of
ejecting man from . car because he refused
to give his seat to woman. The court held
that ladies, or those who wish to be consid-
cred such, are legally entitled to no moro
privileges in public conveyances than men,
and that when the latter pay for seats, they
have perfect right to occupy them so long
as they conduct themselves in proper man.

Union and American.


We heartily adopt as our own the sug
gestions of that manly and truely conserva-
tive paper, the Boston P5st, that, upon
the press OF both the Northern and Southern
sections of the Union is laid solemn duty,
at this particular juncture. Forbearance
now becomes one of the leading virtues If
the journals of each section, inspired with a
genuine desire of Union, were to make a
rule, and religiously observe it, to refuse the
republication of whatever lay open to the
imputation Of passion, partizanship, predu-
dice, and general iII-feeling toward each
other, the new rule would 50 soon and so
abundantiy vindicate itself by its desirable
results as to excite surprise that it was not
adopted before. 1t is almost "a Easy to heal
the old wounds of friendship as to stir up
strife and contention. We have become
fully satisfied of the power Of vituperation
and ealumny, knowing that, if long persisted
in, it is able to convnlse nation Of men
styling themselves brethren The opposite
experiment would now be grateful one to
all rational beings, to which satisfied honor,
not less than true humanity, urssafly in
vites us.
Even if the Congressional rawlings are kept
up, it is in the power of an enlightened press
to neutralize their effect on both sides. There
must be manifestation of real kindness at
some time, if the Union is to be practically
renewed; and it will he necessary for it to
begin in influential quarters. The press has
a providential opportunity now to show its
real power. As it viii hardly deny that by
Is agency large share of the country's trou-
bles was precipitated upon US, so ii oaght TO
stand ready, with the first break of the heavy
clouds, to employ its full power for the re
of those relations which have
suffered from a temporary disruption. In
his instance, the press is permitted to show
its great influence even negatively; its posi-
live power upon the nation is large part of
each DAVIS history"

that enjoyment Of such institutions dcliber-
ately established Is wrongful, aud in It's
effects antagonistieal 10 the free and popular
form Of government existing in the United
States, TO attempt to subvert BY force
monarchical governments in Europe for the
purpose Of replacing them with republican

TO overthrow republican institutions and
replace them with monarchies OF empirs.
Having thus frankly stated our position, l
leave the question for the consideration OF
France, sincerely hoping that that great ma
ton may find it compatible with its best in
terests and its high honor to withdraw from
It's aggressive attitude in Mexico, within
some convenient and reasonable time, and
thus leave the people Of that country to the
