SINGULAR AFFAIR.
= Man Dies While Being baptized.

From the St. Joseph (MissourJ Gazette,
by your permission, report the follow
ingcase, with the attending circumstances
as | learned them from second parties
who witnessed the solemn scene At
baptism yesterday, October IS in the
Platte rivsr, four miles from this place,
the ordinance was administered to sever
al persons, among whom was Mr.. Ste>
phens, Of Third Fork After being i'm
mersed but while still in the river, he
wiped his hands over his face few times
to free it Of water, threw head and hands
up, and fell backward in the water
whereupon his friends ran quickly in and
took him out upon the bank, after which
he died without 4 struggle. The people
not knowing what to do, and being I'm.
prepared, there was, suppose, little done
TO resuscitate him. After taking him to
the nearest house was sent for, and two
hours aiterward ] saw the corpse, and
found his hands, arms and face cold, but
there was considerable warmth in the
axilar orarmpits Percussion ELECTED
good resonance over the chest, except II
little dullness in the lower part of the
right lung. The heart wss still, ard he
was evidently dead, and made no efforts
tOrestore life. learned from his friends
that he had never had commissions or fits
Of any kind, and that he has been perfect
" healthy up to this time. After he had
been taken upon the bank, the radical
pulse could be easily felt In dying
there was little frothy mucus issued
from the corners Of his mouth but
there was no stertor (snoring) in breath
ing, or .cOntortiOns of the facial mus
eles.
Now what caused this mans death
Did water enter the bronchial tubes in his
efforts at inspiration in sufficient quanti-
ties to destroy life, or would not the spas
mOdc closure Of the rima. glOttidis upon
the contact of the water, prevent this to
any considerable extent? Besides, as
remarked, there was u good chest sound
or resonance, under percussion, except
in the lower part Of the right lung. Could
apoplezy or epilepsy cause his death
/ The usual signs of these were absent
! stertOr and cOnyulsive movements of the
muscles. Or can his death be accounted
for from the physical shock upon the
nervous system, causing syncOpe or faint
ing Immediately aftet the immersion
This, taken in connection with the dis
turbing influence that the small amour
Of water that be may have inhaled AM
swallowed might have had upon his min,
and body, is the most plausible explana
ton that ! can now give. \ post morteA

Vampires,

A gentleman, writing to one of our exchanges
from Brazil, gives the following account of these
enormous bats:
"a party of Americans went up the Amazon,
and one of them was bled so badly by vampire
as to awake, in state of exhaustion, with face
ike corpse; the foot of his hammock and the
door beneath it were saturated with blood, the
flow of which was staunched with great difficulty.
It is this difficulty of staunching the blood which
makes the vampire so dreaded, the quantity
which the creature requires to satisfy his appe-
t;te being comparatively trifing. Some persons
seem to be especially liable to their attacks,
while others can sleep in room infested with
them nightly with impunity. A gentleman
living Hara, tells me that his room is seldom
without one OF more vampires in it after dark,
and they have never molested him, although
they bled unlucky goat in shed beneath his
window until the creature was unable to stand,
and was shot as an act of mercy. A young Eng
lish lady who was visiting at this house was Bit
ten on the first night of her arrival and in spite
of the precautions used, was again bitten few
days afterwards, bleeding from wound on the
under side Of her toe until much weakened.
These animals only make their attacks in dark
ness, and a light kept burning in sleeping-room
is an effectual safeguard

Southern DELEGATIONS.

The New York World in the following para
graph pays compliment to the Southern dele
cation for their conduct in the Democratic Con-
yention:
The Southern delegation deserve great praise
for the dignity, good sense, and propriety with
which they have borne themselves in the Con-
vention. When the roll of States was called for
naming candidates, the Southern delegations
announced, one after another, that they had no
candidate to present. They seemed to have no
desire to dictate, but to be willing to accept
whatever candidate should be deemed most avail
able by the Democracy of the North. In the
early ballotings they distributed, scattered, and
shifted their votes in such way as to show that
they were merely waiting and watching deveL
opements, with a view to cooperate at last with
the majority of the northern delegates When
Mr. Pendleton seemed to be the strongest they
began to concentrate upon him, as if to tell the
North that they would cheerfully accept him if
the North judged his nomination advisable.
When it became evident that Pendleton could
not be nominated, and Hancock grew strong,
they again indicated by changing their votes
their willingness to cooperate in the nomination
of any candidate who possesses the confidence of
the party.
