The two families have always been on

singular Affair.


A MAN STUCK IN A QUIcKsAND AT THE
BOTTOM CT A EEEP wELL--A NIGHT
OF AGONY.
In the town Of Winchester, Mass, ON
Tuesday 21st ult., a well-digger, named
VIM, had been employed by Mr.. Cam
eron, of that towa, to complete the wal
ling up of well ON his premises. The
well had been sunk to the depth of thir-
ty-eight feet, and Mr.. VIM was in the
act of sinking curoing for the founda-
ton, when his feet began to settle in the
sand at the bottom. He did not at first
mind this, until he had occasion to shift
his position. when he found to his dis
may that his feet were imbedded fast in
the sand.
He gave the alarm, when assistance
came, but all efforts to disengage him
from his perilous position proved unavail-
ing for over twenty hou s.
The sand, or mud, in which the unfor-
tunate man was held fast. is possessed of
greater adhesive properties than any 9th
er substance we have ever heard of. 1t
is very fine sediment that will mix and
run with water, but after the water leaves
it, will settle and pack as hard as lead.
So tough aud tenacious is it, that it was
found impossible to withdraw an iron
bar sunk in it to the depth of fifteen
inches.
In this sand the unfortunate man was
imbedded up to his knees. 1t was i'm
possible to pull him out, and barely pos
sible to dig him out, the well being Sc
narrow at the bottom as not to allow OF
more than one man working there at a
time, and Mr.. VIM being large man.
weighing about two hundred pounds
Notwithstanding that MS lower extremi
ties became completely benumbed, and
his situation so precarious, Mr. VIM
did not lose heart.
The utmost excitement peryaded the
: town of Winchester, and during all the
night, which must have been one of great
agony to the poor man, the people stood
by him, with encouraging words, render
ing all the assistance in their power, anC
plying him with eatable and stimulants
of which he partook freely.
|
At twelve o'clock Wednesday, tn,
: work of extrcating VIM from his per
ilous position in the well had progressed
so favorably, that those engaged in the
work of digging him out had succeeded
in extricating one leg, and some hour
after the unfortunate man was wholly re
leased. The work of extrication occu
pied over twenty-four hours.

LIFE IN DEATH.-A singular case:
On Monday night last one Mr.. Joseph
Heitkawp. residing at 997 South Fourth
street, St. Louis, to all appearances died
of paralysis. The body was properly
arrayed and preparations for the funeral
inaugurated, when it was noticed that
the features of the deceased had most
life-like appearance. OF course there
was suspension of preparations for bur
ial and medical aid summoned. But up
to Friday night there was no change.
Although perfectly inanimate, there has
appeared no sign of decomposition, nei-
Their was there the leas sign of that
deathly hue or color peculiar to death.
his features were natural as in life fin
gers timber and he wore the appear
ance of one in deep slumber. On the
other hand, his face and hands and flesh
generally were as cold as it is possible
for dead mans to become, altboucb
there was an entire absence of that
clamminess peculiar to dead bodies
Nearly all the physicians pronounce the
man dead, bat there are many who hold
that 1t Is case of suspended animation.
In the meantime the body will be kent
above ground until decomposition shall
set IN, and thus demonstrate the i'm
possibility of installing deaths counter
felt for death itself.

Stanton.
NIxRoX.

Scarcely Ten uays aSoI icsiueht oi"ht
and Vice President Colfax went togeth-
er to the residence of Edwin M. Stanton
and profFered him seat on the Supreme
Bench. 1t was the highest honor the
government had to confer, and it was
bestowed with singular grace, upon the
most deserving man in the republic. To
day the new-made Judge rests in the
cemetery at Georgetown, and one of the
strongest characters that American
events have developed, or American his
tory known, has itself become an endur-
ing part of history. The satisfaction the
nation felt week ago in ratifying Mr..
Stanton's appointment is more than
equalled by its sorrow at his unlocked
for death.
The dead statesman first became wide
ly known to the American people as one
faithful among the faithless members of
Buchanan's traitorous and dissolving
cabinet. Present at the birth of treason
he knew its parentage and its nature.
After the politician, Cameron, had con-
spicuously failed as Lincoln's war secre-
tary, Stanton was fifty summoned to the
work of organizing victory and if
Providence ever raised up one man to
direct, utilize and make triumphant the
abundant but helpless patriotism of a
people, Edwin M. Stanton was so raised
up. Five short years have proved fatal
to many overshadowing regulations born
of war, enthusiasm and newspapers. As
we recede from the war period most OF
all the names that once seemed colossal
and indestructible, will sink, like little
hills viewed from far eminence, into
the dead level of obscurity; but among
the few that time and distance will not
dwarf are the names of that remarkable
trio, Lincoln, Stanton, Grant.
Our great war minister made many
enemies-and they are so many living
witnesses of his fitness to do the great
work that was laid upon him. Every
traitor, whether North or South, hated
/ him for the best of reasons-he crushed
them and their schemes with relentless
| energy. Every army officer cashiered
for cowardice, inefficiency or general
worthlessness, denounced the stern secre.
tary as a despot; every political loafer
every department bore, and every i'm
Fortunate contract-seeker had abundant
reason to dislike a man who could only
get time to work for the republic by
bluntly refusing to waste his time on
those who had no real business with him
He was the unrelenting enemy of shift
lessness and trifers, a good hater of shil-
ly-shally, a thorough despiser of incom-
potency seeking responsible trusts. His
heart was as tender as Lincoln's, but, I'M
like him, he did not even in little things
permit emotion to set aside reason. He
was the incarnation of mental force and
will poWer-the truest American repre-
sentative of rugged strength guided by
right principle. His prodigious labors
during the rebellion shattered perfect
| physical constitution, and he is dead at
the early age of fifty-four, as truly fallen
in his countrys service as though he had
breathed his last at Gettysburg. I'D
| rance.

New York is reported to be agitated
over an extraordinary wedding that
came off last week. A young man, who
is said to stand very near the leader of
the Tammany Ring, was married. The
reception took place at the house, which
completely furnished, is said to have
been one of the bridal presents. Three
sides Of large rom were occupied by
tables, and these crowded with costly
gifts, among which were three or four
$4,000 checks, solid service of silver.
diamonds. jewels and costly articles of
manufacture exceeding description. A
number of detectives were present to
guard the costly array. The story is
that each member of the Ring made a
brilliant offering, and each attempted to
Guido the other. The presents were said
to exceed 100000 in value So pleas
ent and profitable is it to be inside of
Democratic politics in the Metropolis !
