LOST AND FOUND One day last
week cattle dealer shipped IS head of
cattle from some point North of Portage, on
the Milwaukee and st. Paul Railway. On
the arrival here CT the car supposed to con-
tain the cattle, judge of the surprise of the
dealer to find only six of the animals in
the car, leaving nineteen to be accounted
for somewhere on the route Procuring q
hand car the cattle dealer made search for
his lost stock. and they were all found be-
tween here and Lowell station, about ten
miles from this city, all right, and none the
worse for the dumping out they had got.
It appears that by some means the car door
became opened, and through it they escaped.
But it is really surprising that more were in
jured, as tits no easy matter, We should judge.
for a large beef critter to tumble from car
when in motion, without being more or
less manned, and how nineteen could have
such luck is mystery.

AS the picking season is now at hand,
and many housekeepers are concerned
about getting Vinegar that will keep their

readers that Prussing's Vinegar is admitted
by all who have tried it to have no SUPER
ior in thel market for this Purpose. Mr..
Prussing warrants his Vinegar to be free
from all poisonous acids, with VIII ich many
eastern Vinegars are adulterated His works
are the larges. of the kind in the United
States, and owing to extra quality of his
Vinegar, it is rapidly superseding all others
with the city and country trade. Dealers

TO THE NERVOUS,

The natural result of exhaust on Of
strength by excessive labor or action, Is 9
feeling of weakness, dizziness, heaviness,
WEAKNESS, languor of the body or mind, &C.
Persons of a weak constitution, or whose
habits are sedentary, frequently complain Of
this relaxed condition of the vital energies
and when persons OF nervous temperament
are thus weakened and debilitated, disease
inevitably follows, unless it is at once check
ed and overcome. All who suffer from these
causes alike require a remedy which will
strengthen the system without exciting it,
and awake feeling of true enjoyment, so
that life may become a source of pleasure.
MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS has won its
way into the confidence of thousands of this
class of persons, who warmly endorse it as
the best invigora ting agent, and the mos,
potent and genial Of all tonics and altera-
tives for strengthening and restoring the
physical constitution.

HANGED AND REsUscIrATED.-Tb

HANGED AND REsUscIrATED.-The
st. Louis Republican, of August 2sth, has a
detailed account of a most revolving occur
renee which took place at Bloomfield in the
s tate Of Missouri, on the 26ta ult, and
which so far as we know is absolutely with
out precedent or parallel. On the 9Th of
last January a man named 3. v. Richard
son, was shot and killed at Clarkton, Mo-,
by one J. H. Skaggs, who had formerly
been in his employ. The assassin was soon
after brought to trial before Judge Ira E.
Leonard, formerly ofthis city, and being
convicted, was sentenced to be hanged on
the Goth Of last month. Preparations were
made for the execution at Bloomfield, in
Stoddard county, and at the appointed time
the culprit was led to the gallows and the
sentence of the law duly executed upon
him. Thus far the case presents no pecu-
liar features; what gives it its distinguish
ing characteristics, and, as it is to be hoped,
will stamp it for all time as the only case
of the kind on record, is the treatment
which the body afterwards received at the
hands of the attendant physicians.
After the man had been suspended about
fourteen minutes the two doctors who were
present declared that life was extinct, and
cutting the body down they removed it to
a room close by. An examination showed
that the neck was not broken, whereupon,
in spite of the circumstances of the she riff,
they proceeded to make every effort to re-
suscitate life. From two o'clock till nine,
with the aid of an electric battery, and all
the other means known to medical science.
they labOred assiduons:y at their task and
succeeded so far that the action of the heart
and lungs was restored and continued nat
ural for several hours. Consciousness also
in measure returned, but after midnight
the man gradually sank, and at four o'clock
the next morning ceased to breathe.
While the attempts at resuscitation were
being made Skagg's sufferings were appa-
rently most intense, and though the cause
Of science justifies much, we cannot but
think that popular sentiment will strongly
condemn the experiments of these doctors,
which had no other result than to prolong
the dying agonies of their victim and graft.
