Attempt at Resuscitation.

The Philadelphia Press, of April 18th.
gives the annexed account of an attempt to
resuscitate Gerald Eaton, executed in that
city for murder:
Arrangements were made by the friends
oil the condemned to have an effort made to
resuscltate the body. Accordingly, a COM
mittee appointed for the purpose were in
waiting at the prison at the time of the exc
cation, and the body. wrapped in blankets,
wac brought to the University. The drop
was four feet; the cord around the neck was
small one. He hung by the neck thirty
minutes. and there were signs of life only
four minutes after the drop. Ten minutes
after being cut down he was placed upon the
table In the amphitheater, the time elapsing
from the execution being iorty-four minutes.
Ok ounces Of whiskey were injected into the
bowels, and one gallon Of pure oxygen was
forced into the lungs, and powerful galvan-
lc battery was applied to the medulla oblon-
gata and the pit of the stomach At the
same time the tongue was Withdrawn from
the mouth and the body turned from side to
side, after the method of Marshall Hall. for
artihcial respiration. In four or FIVE minutes
marked change occurred in the counte-
nance; the chest gradually expanded, the
eyes opened. one arm was drawn up, and
by means of stethoscope. contractions and
citations of the heart were distinctly heard
SO evident were the signs of life that his
friends exulted over the fact that he really
lived. Another gallon of oxygen was intro
duced into the lungs and the battery was
charged so that the current passed the entire
length Of the spine. and the artificial respira-
ton continued. For few moments the
signs Of life increased. but in short time
disappeared. Nitrous oxide gas was injected
into the lungs by means of an artificial
opening into the trachea, made by Professor
Duffee, but all to now purpose, and at the
expiration of one hour and twenty-five min
utes the experiments ceased and the BODY
was handed over to the friends.

DESPERATE FIGHT WITH A BEAR
In the Santa Barbara Post of the 5th inst,
we find an account of desperate struggle
between Mr.. William Hampton, who
lived near there, and a bear. Mr.. Hamp-
ton was out hunting and killed a young
bear, but seeing the old one approaching,
concluded to save himself by flight, which
ne did. Next day he returned to look for
his game, and on approaching the spot was
attacked by the old bear, who had been
watching all night over her dead young
He was terribly mangled, and was only
saved by his faithful dog that attacked the
bear in the rear, drawing her attention long
enough to allow Mr. III. to escape.

most satisfactory manner, the fiddler
