We learn that the Episcopal
Church in California owes its Bishop
twenty one thousand dollars for ar
rearages of salary. We sincerely
trust they will settle with the Bishop
in a different manner from that which
was adopted in the case of our old
friend Rev. William Slathers, by his
congregation. They owed Mr.. Slath-
ers two hundred dollars, and asked
him if he would like to have it paid up
with a good ''donation party" He
agreed, and the party was held. The
net results were fifteen State eggs,
eight joints of second hand stovepipe,
one currycomb, four phosphorescent
mackerel, one bundle of clothes pins,
a meat saw, eleven bed Stats of differ
ent lengths, a calico sunbonnet, one
slice of cheese, a brown dog, two
pounds of cold liver and. q bottle OF
buttermilk. The company stayed un-
til midnight, and they ate all Mrs.
Slather's preserves kicked the parlor
chairs, and spilled the molasses Jug
on Slather's best coat. They do say
that the cheese was so lively that it
climbed down off of the shelf during
the festivities, and following its animal
instincts crawled back to the store
and fitted itself in its old place; but
anyhow three of the eggs exploded be-
fore the party was over; and the
brown dog bit Miss Smith in the leg
while she was sitting, full of happi-
ness and bread and preserves, on the
stairs, singing There is rest for the
weary" She sued Mr.. Slathers next
day for keeping ferocious animal and
got one hundred dollars damages
from him. Slathers told US conf
dentially that he wished the congrega-
ton had never settled that debt. He
said if they paid him much more
money he would have to go to the
Almshouse permanently.

Broucht Back to Life.

A curious story of the bringing to
life of man who had committed sui
eide by hanging at Val-de- Grace, Can
ton Friburg, is told by the Confedere.
On the first diagnosis the doctors
affirmed that asphynxia was complete;
the body gave not the slightest sign of
life, it being blue and rigid. One of
the physicians present, no wever, would
not leave the corpse without making
a final experiment on it. He uncov-
cred the breast, and attempted for
some time to induce respiration by
artificial means, bus without result
He then applied the pole of an electric
battery to the passage of the pneumO-
gastric nerves, and caused q strong
current to pass at intervals of four
seconds. Almost Immediately feeble
signs Of respiration reappeared. Five
minutes afterward the radical pulse
and the cardiac pulse again became
perceptible. The epiglOtis was tumi-
fed, and it was necessary to pull the
tongue out of the IN outh by means Of
a pair oil pinchers in order to render
the respiration freer. A few ounces of
blood were then drawn from the
mediocephalic vain. The dilated
pupils contracted gradually, and the
signs of life became more and more
manifest. The patient was then able
to swallow small quantity of alc0-
hol. Finally a slight muscular con-
traction was perceptible without the
interruption of electricity the sensibili-
ty Of the cornea reappeared; then the
feet became warm again, and soon
afterward the regular pulsation of the
carotid arteries were easily percepti-

ASon Kills His Father.


A fearful tragedy occurred at the
depot at Spring Hill, in this county,
Tuesday evening James McKissack
killed his father. lit seems that the
young man, with his family, was about
to start to New Orleans, and bis father
went sith him to tie depot The old
man gave him hundred dollars to
pay his way. He said he wanted three
thousand His father told him he
did not have it; and asked him what
he had done with the hundred he had
given him. Jim said he had hid it up
the road, and went to show his father
where it was. When the old man
stopped down he STABBED him three
times in the back; after he raised up,
three times in the breast. He was
taken back to Spring Hill in almost a
dying condition. Jim was put on the
train and brought to this place, and
committed for safety. About two
years ago, the same young man tried to
kill his mother, sister and himself, and
came very near accomplishing his pur-
pose, while in state of mental aber-
ration. After he did that act his
mind seemed to be partially restored to
him, and it was thought that he would
recover entirely, until this last act
