The Erie, Pa, Dispatch of the 18th
inst says:
'The funeral Of Mr.. George Warren
was to have taken place yesterday ac
cording to the Published announcement,
but we are pleased to state that the gen
tleman is in q fair way of enjoying life
for years yet. On Saturday last, at II
O'Clock A. NJ, in this city of Meadyille,
George Warren to all appearances,
breathed his last He was prepared for
burial, and the remains were to be sent
to this city for interment His sister,
who was present at the time Of his sup
posed demise. arrived here on Saturday
night, and made preparation to receive
the melancholy cortege. Yesterday,
there came a dispatch Stain that Mr.
Warren showed signs of life. Another
dispatch stated that he had been remov-
cd from his coffin and was sitting up in
bed. He lay in the death-lil1e trance
state for about forty eight hours before
exhibiting signs of animation, and it
was a providential circumstance that the
interment was set for place some dis.
tance from where the supposed death
occurred. The disease that prostrated
him was typhoid fever, and the contem-
plated interment at Erie was probably
the means of ayerting that horror of
horrors .burying a living
human being.

Gen Grants Opportunity.

p
No man ever came into power with u
fairer chance of usefulness TO his coua-
try than is now before Gen. Grant. 1t
is but a few months since he was the
choice Of those who wished TO place in
the Presidential chair a man with no
party ties He was first put in nomina
ton for the Presidency by such men.
When nominated by the Republic an
Convention, he declined to commit him
self to a prescribed policy. No one
can yet say what creed Of public policy.
he holds. Yet all have confidence in
his integrity, his frmness and his pa
triotism. He has no enemies to destroy
before he is seated securely. The best
wishes of the entire people attend him.
Such a man, coming into power under
such suspicious circumstances, finds
country not yet composed from the con
ficts Of long and bloody civil war.
lie finds inevitable aIienations and dis
fractions, which tend to mar the Lar-
mony of the Union. Three Of the
States have not yet been brought back
to the fold SO as to vote for or against
him at the recent election. These evils,
far less indeed than we might expect at
the close Of such a war as ours, are to
be cured; and we trust in God that
Gen. Grant will carry out in his policy
the motto he himself proposed as the
watehword of the late campaign, '.Ilsr
Us BAvE PEACE"
Again our financial affairs are in
more precarious state than it is wise to
say. There is demanded the keenest
sagacity, the loftiest patriotism and
most unbending firmness, to carry
through financial system that shall re-
duce the national debt, restore specie
payments, and preserve the prosperity
of the country during the commissions
attending the change. Gen. Grant will
have a mighty work on his hands, but
the most that he himself can do is to
summon the right men to his aid, and
sustain them in the battle before them.
His chance, or opportunity, is this:
that he comes to the chair Of State when
the agitated country needs peace, when
the financial affairs of the country are
in peril and need eStrication, and he is
the man who commands such general
confidence that lie can work out these
grand results. and we feryently trust he
will. Unless lie is thwarted by politi-
clans, selfish sod schefning, he will sue
ceed. He is upheld by the best wishes
and prayers of millions.-[New York

same estimate, and in inseparabIe rela-

tionship.
Apostolic authority ..by the inspiration
of the Holy Ghost, has incorporated
these injunctions of the law of love
with statements Of doctrine, so that all
doctrine and all positions which do not
recognize the force of love. is wrong
doctrine and wrong position. There
fore the sincere spiritual reader comes
to the Scripture with a heart prepared
for obedience to such divine orders as
these: 90 Let love be without dissimu
lation.:''a "Be kindly affectioned one to
another with brotherly love; in honor
prefering one another" distributing
to the necessity of saints; given to hos
pitality.' ssBless and curse not."s
"Reioice with them that do rejoice, and
weep with them that weep" s'Be of
the same mind one toward another
In perusing the Scripture on this point
we are impressed with the variety Of
expression which is given to the law OF
love- as if designed to throw around the
engagements of'a loving life peculiar
y
charm There is charm indeed!
With what force may the saints of this
dispensation ofthe Church of God pro
long the strains of the sweet Psalmist of
Israel? ''Behold how good and how
pleasant it is for brethren to dwell to
gether in unity! It is like the precious
ointment upon the head, that ran down
upon the beard, even Aaron's beard.
AS the dew of Hermon, and as the dew
that descended upon the mountains Of
Zion: for there the Lord commended
the blessing, even life forever more
The Lord baptize US with the spirit
which prompted the sufferings Of the
cross, and gave Us heavenly life. So
shall we have power and shall prevail.
ssHe that dwelleth in love dwelleth in
God and God in him. !"

FT WAYNE GuosT 1t is said that q
young lady in Fort Wayne heard of a
haunted room in that town, aud deter
mined to occupy it. She gives the fol-
lowing, as her experience: II aving re-
tired to bed, and just as her eye lids
began to grow heavy, and while the
angel of sleep was tanning her. cheek
with his drowsy pinions, she felt the
bed covering sliding off the bed Think
ing that it was the weight of the over
hanging quilts, she attemped to draw
them up, but met with resistance. Look
ing down she saw what appeared to be
a large Newfoundland dog, angrily tug
ging at the coverings. With one spring
she landed in the middle of the floor,
ran to the window opening on the street,
raised it, ami screamed with all her
might. The family came to her assis
tance In the meantime the dog had
disappeared but the bed clothing was
found stacked up in the far corner of
the room. It is needless to say that she
changed her quarters.
Her brother, Mr. W, next tried it.
He saw no dog, bnt soon found some
thing tagging at his quilts He rests
ted with all his strength, but the cloth
ing was torn from his grasp, and thrown
across the room. Well, said he, cody,
if you wan5 the covering worse than
do, you can have it. And he left the
room and asked to be quartered else
where admitting that it wasn't pleasant
sleeping in there.

have every reason to be thankful for what it
has accomplished in my own case and that %
my wife. My complaint, as you may remem>
ber, was Liver Disease in its worst form. I had
not taken your medicine more than three weeks
when felt so much encouraged as to order a
box for my wife also, who was suffering from
what the physicians termed disease Of the kids
neys. This was in November last. We have
now taken two packages each, and am happy
to inform you that we have good reason to con-
clude we are both permantly restored to health
and that, by, your Life Compound. Encouraged
its good effects in our cases, several of our
afflicted neighbors sent to you for the medicine
and am informed by three of them, with whom
an, int nately acquainted, that they, too, be-

IMPORTANT TO PENSIONERS An act
was passed on the 9th of July last.
declaring that all pensions shall com
menee from the date of the death or
discharge of the Soldier. Many pen.
sious were commenced ut the time of
finishing the last paper of application,
and so the pensioner lost from one to
two years of pay. All these pensions
are now made payable from the time
Of the soldiers discharge or death, and
the arrears of such pensions can be
secured by proper application. Every
pensioner should look at his or her GER
tificate, and if it is dated at any time
after the death or discharge of the SOL
dier, go at once to some attorney and
have the arrears collected.

little over a million. We will make but

The cost of the Railways being taken
