,BuRYING ALlvE.-A method for de-.
termining when death has taken place
without that of actual decomposition,
which in very cold weather might be
delayed for weeks, has always been a
desideratum. The fear of heing buried
alive, which has undoubtedly occurred
ID many instances, has proved a source
of anxiety to persons during life and of
sad conjecture to their surviving friends.
1t is said that it has been recently dis.
covered that if the skin of a deceased
person is blis.ered, as by holding the
fame Of a candle against the body, when
punctured the blister will give out only

aid the Orange, Alexandra and Manassas
. zap Railroad in extending its line from
Strasburg to Harrisonburg, upon agree
ment for the working of that line in con-
nection with the Baltimore and Ohio road
upon terms mutually satisfactory.
The President, Mr. Garrett, says the
Company has also authorized the sub
scription Of 500, Geo to the stock Of the
Winchester and Strasburg road, upon the
condition that $500, 600 of the stock must
be subscribed before any Of the subscrip-
tons will be binding The road will be
nineteen miles in length, and that amount
is estimated as the cost of making the road
He says that by the completion of this link
of nineteen miles, the merchants of Balti-
more will have opened for them line ex-
tending from Harper's Ferry to Harrison
burg, being one hundred and one miles
through the fertile Valley of Virginia.
When this road shall be opened, he
says efforts can properly be made for the
extension of the Valley line to connect with
the Virginia and Tennessee road in the
vicinity of Salem. and route can be thus
obtained which will afford to the produc-
tive region extending through to Louisiana
the advantage of transacting their business
with Baltimore by an economical route.
