About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
German named Michael Liebich was in
stantly killed by the bursting of q grind
stone In little shed attached to Peck's
Planning Mill, corner Park avenue and
Eigth street, which was occupied by Louis
Hook, file manufacturer, No. 217 South
Second street, in which to grind files. II
has no connection with the mill, save that
q shaft from. the mill furnishes power to
turn the two large wheels used by Hook.
A few days since new stone, in the rough,
weighing 200 lbs, 4 by 9, was put in.
Leibich did the wedging, and at the time
ofthe fatal accident was engaged in truing
it or grinding it of. He had been at
work in the smoothing process a day and
half. In. the afternoon of yesterday the
band was frightened and tarred, though
it was stated that this did not cause the
stone torevoKe with dangerous rapidity.
All at once, while sLiebich was chipping
off pieces with chisel, the ponderous
stone burst, halfof it flying through board
partition and landing in the mill yard,
twenty or twenty five feet from its original
position. Liebich was hit by it, aud
knocked down with terrific force, his head
striking an upright, crushing the skull and
causing death instantly. A portion of his
brains bestrewed the ground. The body
was taken into the yard and the Coroner
notified. The inquest brought out the
facts. stated above, and the jury returned
verdict that death was caused by the burst
ing of a stone, through the inexperience
and unskilful handling of deceased. Lie
bich was recently from Germany. He was
a single man, boarded at No. S13 Soulard
street, and had relations or friends in Water

WASHINGTON, d. c., january 11.--Iread
in the Inteuigencer-itw will be in the Chroas-
icle next week-a frightful statement of
burying alive that is said to have occurred
IN New Orleans, and is now going the
rounds of the press, to the intense horror of
all sensitive people. E a.
The mother of the unfortunate, it is
claimed, was informed of the horrible
event, through dream, and insisted upon
having the body disinterred, for investi-
cation. On opening the grave the horri-
BILE fact was manifested. The glass over
the face was broken, the face was mutila-
ted, and the fingers wounded. t7,a
Now, it would be well to let this pass as
a warning to the thoughtless who hurry
dead bodies into their grave before posi-
tive assurance that life is extinct. but the
case is so horrible that it is better to know
the truth. The corpse had been encased
in an iron coffin called casket, made air
tight. The consequence is that the gases
generated by the decaying body produce
the mos. ffightful designation, and in
some instances shiver the glass over the face.
know all about this for had case come
under my immediate observation, the death
of friend in the country, caused by
an accident, 80 sudden and unexpected
that few of the friends and relatives could
be called to the funeral within the Or
binary time incident to such occasions.
An iron coffin was procured, the body
placed in it, and the lid sealed and screw
ed down in the usual manner, with
thick glass plate over the head. To those
who watched the loved face through tears
there soon appeared a singular change; the
veins of the forehead began to swell, and
soon stood out like cords. Then the face
began to. swell, and soon the eyes partly
opened and the lips fell apart, giving to
the face wrathful, horrid expression that
was painful to look upon. These changes
continued until the dead seemed to be stri-
wing to breathe, and speak, and strange
noises were heard inside. Women shrieked
and tainted, and at last cloth was thrown
over the glass, and persons were forbid
lookingin. During the night of the second
day Gf l remember correctly, an explosion
occurred, accompanied by the sound of
broken glass, and it was found the plate
over the face was shivered and the room
filled with the most sickenipg stencil.
The dead body was horrible to look at, and
it required no active stretch of the imagi-
nation to believe that life had returned
and struggle ensued.
! doubt whether. one could return to life
from the counterfeit condition that had
been taken for death, while sealed up in
one of these iron cases. Such return must
of course, be slow, uncertain, and feeble.
How long the cir of the coffin would con
tinue pure enough to strengthen the lungs,
so as to start the circulation, am not pre-
nQrpI IN Int T olnt1l1 fhtnE not
long, certainly not sufficient length oftime
to enable the subject buried to make much
of struggle. Cincinnati Commercial.

II Haunted House .fMaOssg the
Colorado Mines.

The house in which DR.. Wharton lived
while in Georgetown is haunted. 1t is a
small frame cottage situated in the lower
town, Immediately under the dark shadow
of the mountain, close to where Miss Lam
der met such sad cruel death. There 10
q horrible. feeling of dread steals over the
lonely traveller who chances to pass this
spot after nightfall. The children of the
village speak of it in whispers, and matrons
find in the very name Of the spot tails
man which never fails to awe obstreperous
youngsters into obedience Immediately by
the side of the cottage aforesaid is stunted
crooked pine-trec which has a hang-dog
shabby look which would be noticed
even by stranger. It has misery, con-
tracted appearance-too stingy to grow,
and too mean to decently die. 1t is the
tree upon which Rainbridge was hanged.
Under that little crooked pine he uttered
his last prayer, and there he warned his
executioners to remember that night, for he
would haunt them until they died. About
two months ago the people who were then
occupying the house were startled by mys-
FERROUS noises in the night, which fright
ened them away. They moved out. Three
sturdy miners, hearing of the trou'lr. re-
solved to stay all night in the hous, rity
themselves with pistols ant. dark
lantern. One night satisfied them. The
doors were opened by unseen hands
footsteps were heard on the floor, on the
steps leading to the chamber, even in the
very room where the men with wide-eyed
terror, sat and trembled, but could see
Since that time no man, no hui
man being, has been found 30 brave as to
enter the house after dark Colorado Her.

G "a resident of Berks county, Penn

When about to sell rather an antiquated
horse he was Intercepted as to the ago

"yell,n he replies, II guess about nine

In q short time the purchaser discovered
the fraud, returned with the animal, and
said: |
"Mr. c., what made you cheat me in
selling this horse2 Didn't you tell me he
was nine or ten and here he is twenty"
''No no; sheats nobody. I say he is
nine over ten; and he is all of dat"
At another time when selling balky
horse he was asked if the horse was true to
pull and good to drive. Old Adam says:
II tells youin the morning you gets your
wagon out, and puts de harness on de horse
good, takes up the linesand vip, and tell
him go. I tells YOU he is right dair every
time.n
The buyer departed satisfied; but after
following directions, he found him aright
dair every time,n and no amount of pefsua-
sion could induce him to change his posi-
ton. Buyer of course returned the horse;
but Old Adam "sheats no body. He told
him shust as it was" .......
