Here are the items: 325 pounds of

calf raised and worth S25. That will
do pretty well. The season has but

BURYNG ALIVE.-Maj. Joel Page
of Westminister, writes US a few COM
ments on the case of Miss Ellen K.
White at Cleveland, published by US
last week, who came near being buri-
ed alive, and suggests that, as the con-
cussion produced by the slaming of
the door, brought life into motion, so
hereafter in cases of doubt, the firing
of guns or a revolver near the body
would produce the same or better ef
feet, Probably very few of the sup
posed cases of burial alive are true,
but the change of position of the body
is strong evidence of such a thing
A case occurred in Brattleboro, some
time since, in which the preservation
of the body or corpse, was such as to
create some anxiety on the part ofthe
family, and the body was disinterred,
but nothing found to indicate burial
before death.-BelIoaCs Falls Times.
