Is the Matthews Another Huston Case ?

NEW YORK, Sept 20, 1872.
To TIE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
noticed in your issue Of this morning an article
entitled another Clerical Scandal" the reading
of which brings to mind the Of DR.. Huston, who
figured in your columns sometime ago. what has
become of his case The last heard of 1t was that
the doctor had cleared himself from the charges
and proved his accusers to be worse than he him
self was charged to be- L. e., Matchmaking for the
worst OF purposes Now how is this TO end Is q
mere child OF sixteen to be allowed to gable away
gentleman's reputation, and In case she Is
proved to have done 1t from malice or other
bad motives to escape free from all punishment
II DR.. Huston had done his duty he would have
had this precocious budding shrew sent to some
house OF correction and subjected to course OF
discipline she stands sadly in need Of; 1t would
have been wholesome warning to others like her,
and to those who have grown up also. II seems
that mans character is OF no account In society,
for when q wicked charge against II Is made,
nothing whatever Is done beyond an attempt to
prove them false, and the llbeller is allowed to
go rec, society substantially saying that O mans
character Is OF no account, and can be attacked at
pleasure, with no punishment whatever for the
crime, HENRY BlGL0W,

Corn for Fuel.

From Council Bluffs uowsj Nonparlel, Dec. 5.
We are glad to see that many of our
citizens are taking advantage of the
low price ofcorn to lay in heavy sup
pI es of it for fuel. We have expert
mented witI,t the last week and find
that it is an admirable substitute for
both wood and coal, anu that at pres
ent prices there is both economy and
comfort in its use.
a ton of corn, 33 bushels, at II
cents per bushel, is S. 60. We con.
slider this equal to ncord of hard
wood, as supplied and measured in
our market, at 81; the cutting of this
cord. 81 SO, total So so. Thus
making a saving of nearly So cord.
For kitchen fuel it is superior to
wood, except hickory, and cheaper
than that. 1t makes \ very hot Are
with great deal of blaze. We Judge
that three tons of corn are equal to
the heat of one ton Of hard coal, while
in economy of its use it is equal to one
and a half tons Of coal. III small
families and small houses there il
always great waste of hard coal
while there is none in the use of corn
Besides this, there is the public bcne
lit Of retaining in the country all the
money wc send to Pennsylvania 70,
coal, and feed our farmers by con
suming their products.

Advice to Writer'S"

1t is said that the senior cditer Of
foundation OF his fame as writer by
a single article, which he was per-
suadcd to rcwritc aud comdense two
or three times after he had offered il
for publication, and which titus pre-
pared, was copied all over the cOHn-
try. Tie Observer gives the fol-
lowing good advice 10 writer's:
Omit the beginning of your essay.
Most writers, not accustomed 10 ths
press, imagine that a newspaper AZ.
iiclc, like an oratiom, should have an
eXordium, an argument and conclu-
sion. Not at all. The argument 10
all that is wanted. That is, state
your case, sat your say. and stop.
DO not take time and space 10 get
into the subject, and more 10 get out
iof IT, but come to it instantly, and
stop when you are done.
Dr.Griilin used TO say that he could
put the five volumes of Bible Com
men,ary into one volume, and not
lose all idea worth retaining. We
bclie+e he could have done it. And
20 could VIC.
Be short The time IS short, the
world is very fas, now, and readers
of newspapers do irct want long ar
ti,les. Pack YOUR thoughts into
short words, sentences, and short
essays. If you never DO a. great
thing, never do long thing.
Come TO the point. Ifyou have no
p6int.l lay down the pen, and.do some
thing else, rather than write. 1t 10
not every one who can write for edi-
fication, ana yoa may not be one who
can.
Write the articles two. or three
times over carefully, making Il
! shorter each time. Write on ono side
of the paper. Write legibly. Keep
copy OF what You send to the press.
Editors do not return manuscripts.
We cannot undertake to-. aid We 90
state every week. but are every week
asked to. II 10 impossible: to- make
the reason plain to writer's; but It 10
out OF the question.
BE very modest in Your estimate OF
your own productions, and do not
fret if others cstcch them even less
than YOU do.

BURIED ALIVE.
A st.i:,nic DiscIosure.


From the Ottawa tltlZchs
For some time past the work OF
removing the remains of the depart
ed from the old Roman Catholic
burving ground to the new cemetery
has been quietly going on, and
nothing more than might he expect
ed under the circumstances occurred
until the other day. The sacred
ashes have Eccn taken from their
narrow beds and removed. by tho
hands of loving friends to the new
city of the dead. Affecting incidents
have naturally occurred, and some
scenes bordering on the rovelting
have been witnessed i'll the old ccm-
eicrv. Recently mburicd bodies
have been uncotlined that fond eyes
might gaze upon their features for
Il last time before covering them
with tho sod again. One such incl
dent of startling nature occurred
last Tuesday. a gentleman who was
engaged in removing the remains OF
some of his deceased relatives, was
asked by an acquaintance, who was
similarly engaged. to assist him in
lifting n coffin from the grave. Ho
did so, and tho lid was taken of. Ts

tators. who gathered around il, they

was removing il, had been disturbed
in the coffin. 1t was horribly con-
torted; as If deceased had died in
great agony. The face wore an ex.
preston of intense pain and horror,
the arms were drawn up as far a.
! the coffin would admit, and the head
was twisted round 10 the shoulders,
from which the flesh had apparently
been gnawed by the struggling man.
Sickencd hy the horrible sight, the
spectators drew back from the coffin,
and looked specchlc.sly into each
others eyes. Not word was spoken
but there was not n man present who
did not feel that the deceased had
! been buried alIvc--probably while
in trance--and had awakened only
to perish in his living tomb. Tho
coffin was closed again and taken to
the new cemetery, where it was de-
Gently inferred. Every precaution
was taken to hush up the affair but it
has got abroad, aud We now publish
, it without giving any names.
