A DRUNKEN Man ROASTED ALIvE-Last
Saturday afternoon three gentleman of Ger
man extraction passed through birmingham,
having left the Iron Mountain in search Of the
new railroad which is ,ing built from Chester
to that place, for the purpose of getting work.
They were comfortably drunk while in town,
and as each had ottle of the ardent in his
cOat-tail pocket when they left al )ut three
O'Clock, it is reasonable to suppose they were
petty far gone when night overlook them,
Arriving at point three miles east of town,
on the gravel road, they made bed of leaves
and the night air being heavily laden with
frost, they built fire in close proximity to
the bed. Some time during the night the wind
changed, and the fire Communicating with
the dry leaves soon had everything in blaze.
Two of the men awOke in time to escape,
but the third being, it is thought. too much
| intoxicated to help himself. caught fire and was
horribly burned. He was Immediately removed
to the residence Of Mr.. Charles Geising, at
Valley Forge. where he suffered agonies until
about noon the next day Sunday, when
death relieved him of his pain. An inquest
was held by Coroner White on Monday. From
papers on his person 1t was found that the
deceased was a german, named Nicholas
Walter. aged 33 years. He had two dischar-
ges in his pocket, one from the volunteer ant
the other from the regular servce.-Farmtng

1t was announced very recently that Mr.. Bssse :

quality, had invented means for preventing the

only temporary, infection called sea-s,ckness He
claims to keep the floor OF q spacious saloon in a
constantly level position under all circumstances,

weeks past, havo inspected the full-sze apparatus
erected by him near his own residence. has been
in favor Of the complete practicabity Of his in
