BURIED AND REsURRECTED.

cPSS Poc,Sr PsriormS 7, the Role e6 mJnIie,p-
Every one at all familiar with the history
of Kansas at an early day will remember DIR.
John boy, whose conflicts with the pro-
slavery party, and whose exploits in connec-
tion with the underground railroad, while the
iniquitous Fugitive Slave law was in force,
made him extensively notorious. 1t will be
remembered that, having removed to Battle
creek, Michigan, he was arrested on the
charge of procuring an abortion, and thereby
causing the death of the woman who sought
his services. On this charge he was found
guilty, and sentenced to long term of con-
finement in the State Prison. AS he was
found dead in his bed one morning, under
circumstances which strongly pointed to poi
son as the cause of his death, it was gene
rally supposed that he resorted to suicide to
ward off the disgrace which would result from
his imprisonment. At all events he was
buried, and as usual, almost forgotten.
Now comes the romantic portion of his his
tory. A gentleman whose statements are
considered entirely reliable called at our
office yesterday, and showed us letter pur-
porting to come from daughter of this same
Doy, dated from some town in Ohio. From
this letter it seems that though legally dead,
he is still living, and at present is in Eng
land. The letter stated that he had sent for
one daughter, who was already with him, and
that the rest of the family were making ar
rangements to follow Immediately.
The circumstances of his resurrection from
the grave are stated somewhat as follows
Having formed a collusion with some friends,
he took large dose of morphia, and when
found in the morning the vital forces were
apparently extinct. As he was considered
dead, of course no objections were raised to
his body being restored to his family.
This being done, in order to carry out the
deception, coffin was procured and regular
funeral services held, the body being COM
mitted to what all supposed to be its final
resting-place. When everything was over his
grave was opened, the body removed, and by
the application of powerful remedies soon
restored to its normal condition. Prudence
of course required that he should leave
country where he was no longer safe, and
accordingly he went to England, his former
home.
This story seems to SAVIOR more Of romance
than of reality, but if our account should
prove correct, and we have great confidence
in the reliability of our information, it will
be another illustration of the truth of the old
adage, ''Truth is stranger than fiction. >

treasures in their beds, or carried them con-

The following morning, all hands we're
called, and ordered to make muster
aft, and the whole ships company inn
mediately assembled about the quarterback.
The captain at last made his appearance. A
long silence ensued, when, raising both
hands, he exclaimed: IF any man ever
divulges anything about this here
scrape, III be the death Of him, and
haunt him in purgatory! And, mind
you, there has got to be some oil taken
this season, or else you'll see some cedar

Thus ended the gold mining on Margarita

and welcome visitor Of the worthy knights.
The letters OF the two eminent men having been
collected and arranged by their common friend,
Professor Franz Pfeiffer, they bave now, after
Pfeiffer's recent death, been edited by another
friend, Professor Wagner, of Vienna. The
book, handsome volume, with the portraits of
Jassberg, INLAND, and Pfeiffer land biography
of the latter by Professor Bartsch), has Just APP
peared at Vienna, and, besides being highly
instructive as to Old German matters in general,
serves TO illustrate, in charming way, the cor
dial intercourse and the patriarceal habits of
that amiable literary group in the farthest south
west Of Germany.
