The Philadelphia press gives the fol-
lowing account Of the experiments on
the body of Gerald Eaton, who was
hanged last week for murder: Arrange
mehts were made by the friends Of the
condemned to have IN effort made to
resuscitate the body. Accordingly, a
committee appointed for the purpose
were waiting at the prison at tie time Of
execution, and the body, wrapped in
blankets, was brought to the university.
The drop was four feet; the cord a'ound
his neck was small one. He hung
by his neck Thirty minutes, aud there
we're signs cf life only four minutes
after the drop. Ten minutes after Lc'
ing cut down, he was placed upon the
table in the amphitheatre, the time
elapsing from the execution being forty
four minutes Six ounces Of whisky
were injected in the bowels, and one
gallon of pure oxygen gas was forced
into the lungs, and a powerful 2alvanic
battery applied to the mcdulla oblansa'e
and the pit of the stomach. At the
sametime the tongue was withdrawn from
the mouth, and the body turned from
side to sid, after the method Of Mar
shall Hall, for artificial respiration. In
four or Eve minutes a marked change
occurred in the countenancc; the chest
grcdually expanded, the eyes open d.,
one arm Vas drawn up, and, ly means
of ste no. cope, contracti'ns and dila'
ations of the heart were distinctly
heard. So cvi ent were the signs oi
life that his friends really exult d over
the fact that h" really lived. Another
gallon of oxygen was iDtoduced into
the lungs, and the bate y WAS charged
so that the current passed the cn'lre
length of the spine, and the artificial res
piration continued. For few mo-
ments the signs o: life increased, but
in short time disappeared. Nitrous
oxide gas was injected into the lungs
by an artificial opening into the trachcs
made by Professor Duffee, but still to
no purpose, and at the expiration of
one hour and twenty five minut's the
experiment ceased, and the body was
handed over to the friends.

EXPERIMENTING WITH AND WITH
OUT GUANo, AND WITH DIFFERENT
KINDS OF COTTON SEED.-Thc Macon
GA } Telegraph says:
Whist iu Eufaula the other day, VIC
learned that two prominent planters in
Barbour County, Ala had entered this
year upon a series ofexpcrimcnts in cot
ton growing, with different kinds of ma
uures and seeds, and that pretty hea'
W wa .;er had been laid between them
on the result of their experiments
Each planter is to cultivate but one acre
of ground and use the manure and seed
of his choice, and the one that raises
the largest amount of cotton takes
stakes. The one has planted the
Peeler cotton seed and is using the
Peruvian guano; the other has plant,
ed the Dickson seed and is using only
manures generated about his barn yards
and stables.
The result of these experiments will,
doubtless, be valuable to the planting
interests in that section, if not else
where, and VIC shall watch, with not a
little interest how both parties come
out next FALL.

THE COTTON TRADE-SOUTH
ERN PROSPECTS.

The cotton trade on both sides Of the
Atlantic, continues in an anomalous
condition Stocks arc everywhere run
ming low, with no prospect of rcplen-
ishmcnt till another crop shall be ready
for market, as there is progressive de-
crease of receipts at our own ports, while
the Indian supplies promise to fall ma
terialIy below those Of last year, and the
minor sources of Egypt, Brazil, &c, ai.
ford only bare average quantity. Al
the ugh prices arc about three cents per
pound below the highest point Of the
season, the staple is still much higher,
relatively than goods, many kinds of
which arc quite Us low as before the war,
on gold valuation. With NO abate-
ment in the cost producing goods, it
follows that manufacturers must be
working without profit, if, indeed, they
are not losing IN ny. In the manu-
featuring districts of England good
many failures have lately occurred, and
the rate of consumption is fully ten
thousand bales below what it was in
January. Under a normal condition
Of trade the price Of cotton could hard
ly fail to materially appreciate, as spin
ners were rarely ever S, bare ofsupples;
but as the case now stands, they find it
almost impossible to get back new dol
lar for an old one, and hence they arc
reduced to the necessity Of the most
rigid economy, in order to meet its
end.
The high prices of cotton during the
past six months have stimulated the
planting interest South, and no doubt as
large breadth of land will be seeded
as can be afforded under the necessity
If an increased devotion to food crops.
In view of the many difficulties which
surround cotton culture, the leading
Southern journals are giving the farm
ers and planters the very practical ad
vice not to place all their trust in the
great staple. There is an abundance
of land in the South to raise an abund-
ance of food for consumption, and cot
ton enough to supply the whole world,
but unfortunately there is an in:<<4uatc
supply of the right kind of labor. Still,
competent Southern authorities arc of
opinion that with an ordinarily favora-
bic season, the next crop will not un-
likely reach 3,000,N00 bales, and may
90 to 3,250,000 bales. Southern opin-
ion with regard to free labor, too, has
been very sensibly modified oflatc.

Of Congress having bcch passed provid-
inr for summer or fall session to keep
watch and-warl over "the man at the
other end Of the avenue" as in the
palmy days of Andy Johnson, there will
lie Congressional recess until the first
Monday in December next, unless the
President, in the interval, shall deem it
expcdient to call the Senate together
for executive purposes or the two houses
for legislative business. 1u short, the
President is left for seven months to
get on in the conduct of the domestic
and foreign affairs of the Government,
with or without the further assistance of
Congress, as he may elect.

men, including the Quakcrs, and being
in no particular hurry to settle the Gu

General Grant will take things quietly
during the absence of Congress, aid,

Steward, of Bachelors Greek, discov-
cred a swarm of bees in an old tree,
and he, together with his brother, cut
it down for the purpose of saving the
swarm. In the tree they found a lit
tie honey, which they secured. on ta- a
king it home the whole family partook
quite freely of it, and the effect was too
terrible to describe. The whole mum.
her that tasted the honey was sevcn.-
Of these two were not affected, three
were made nearly or totally blind Tor
the time being, and two, child two
years and one younger, died within 10
minutes. The mother was so blind
that she could mott see the infant IN
her arms, but vomited after drinking
salt and water, and was better Others
were similarly affected, but all, with
the exception of the ones already dead
are again restored to health and sight.
Why some w"ro affected to blindness,
while others died, and yet two who also
partook were not even made sick, re-

MURDERIN ORANGEBURG Tile Or
anycLurg Mcms, of Friday, Says:
We have 10 chronicle another man
shut in the Fork. On last Monaay
morniuing about six o'clock, as Mr.. W.
L. W. Riley and two colorcd laborcrs
were making arrangements. in his horse
lot, to commence the weeks work, two
white men, Hansford S. Porter aud
Milledge Porter, his brother, residents
Of the Fork, entered the lot, uucxpcct,
edly to Mr.. Riley. Shortly after their
arrival Mr. james W. Jordan, an en-
ployee Of Mr. Rilcy's came in and spoke
to the Porters, shaking ha:'ds with
Hapsford. Nlillcdgc Porter had i'll his
hands a double barrel shot gun, aud
told jordan that he had come to arrest
him aud take him to Orangeburg, at
the same time pointing lis gun at him.
jordan remarked /: "Don't reckon, but
/ surrender" Jordan then took Riley
aside and asked him what it meant
Riley said he "did not know, ask him
for his authority"
They then stepped back to where the
Portcrs were standing aud Jordan asked
Porter to let him see his authority 'or
arrest. Jordan and Riley both wera
standing between the Purtcrs. Mil.
lrdrc Porter replied that he did not have
any" Jordan turned and faced MIR.
Riley who was STOPPING over little,
getting something out of his pocket,
when ITansford 5. Porter presenting a
six shooter, over Riley's shoulder, fired,
the ball striking Jordan centrally in the
breast, aud entering the right cavity of
the heart. Jordan fell in the arms OF
Mr.. Riley, and died in about fifteen
minutes. The Porters then deliberate.
bade good morning and walked off. At
the crack of the pistol the colored man
lift, leaving Mr.. Riley alone with the
dying man, and having no weapon OF
any description at hand, and the Porters
being fully armed and apparently des'
pcrate, he was powerless to arrest them
Sometime since, VIC gave an account
of the shooting Of Mr.. John Porter, a
brother of Hansford and Milledge, by
Lar,igue, in the Fork, and it is sup
posed at the Porters believed jordan
assisted Lartigue in that transaction.
The ball that killed Jordan passed over
the shoulder Of Mr.. Riley taking the lint
from his coat, and the powder burning
his neck; in the meantime if Mr.. Riley
had had strlightened up he would have
received the discharge himself, and we
would have had to chronicle also the
death, perhaps: of this estimable gen
tleman, as Miledge Porter stood ready
with his double barrel shot gun lcvellcd
to shoot Jordan if Hansford failed.
The Coronef's Inquest announced
the deed a cold blooded murder. The
Porters, as yet, have not not been ar
rested. MIR Jordan was the son-in-law
of Mr.. Daniel Young, and We hear, an
honest, hard working man. He leaves
young wife to mourn his untlmely
fate.
