A FIrTEEN-HoUR's WALK FOR LIFE.
The Baltimore Gazette Of March "a,
says On Sunday afternoon a young man
named George Falk swallowed, as he stat
ed, three ounces Of laudanum and five
grains Of morphia, in order to end his life
as was reported yesterday. There was but
one way Of saving him, and that was to
keep him in motion. After relieving him
as far as possible, his physician, DIR. NJ. j.
Gately, ordered that he be walked until he
was out of danger At half past 2 clock
Sunday afternoon he was put upon his
tramp for life, and was forced to walk in
the open air as rapidly us he could. His
father kept by him for a long time, and q
friend or policeman assisted. After
some hours the father gave out, and final
y officers and friends grew tired. At last
officers had to be taken from their beats
and made to do duty in saving the life Of
the would-be-suicide. When the walk
commenced 1t was with great difficulty
that he could be kept going, and so great
was HIS stupor that at times he would al.
most fall like stick. Frequently il was
necessary to catch him and move him on.
He rceled at times like drunken man,
and then again he would revive consider.
ably. The dreary, monotonous walk wa,
kept up without intermission until hall
past 6 o'clock yesterday morning, when
the physician consented that be should be
allowed to take rest. The life of the
young man was saved, but the struggle fol
freedom from the effects Of the drugs wa,
a severe one. To have stopped three min
utcs would have been fatal.

BURIED ALIvg---A very sad story
comes to us from the little town of Chap
manyille, Pa. It appears that about two
weeks ago woman named Martha Coggs-
wells, wife Of Anthony Coggswells, a dro-
yer, died. as was supposed, IN that village,
and was buried. Her husband was absent
at the time, however, The rest of this
melancholy incident is thus told The hus.
bands first knowledge Of his wifes death
was one day last week when he returned
home. Almost wild with grief, he insisted
on her body being exhumed, so that he
could see the remains. This was done aud
the coffin was opened 10 the presence Of
several friends. To the nnutterable hor-
ror Of al, the body had changed It's posi-
ton in Che coffin, showing that Mrs.
Coggswell had been buried while she was
in trance. The body was lying on its
face. Evidences of fearful struggle
made By the unfortunate woman when She
recovered consciousness in the coffin were
visible. The flesh was torn from one
shoulder, and the shroud was covered with
blood, When Mr. Coggswell saw what a
terrible fate his wife had met, he fell sense.

be disguised that the Democratic and
Republican parties have no other reason
far longer existence than tho continued
election Of oiIee-seekeFs 70 place They
then pronounce for the dissolution of those
parties and the formation Of new ones.
All this reads very pretty and sounds very
well, but unfortunately for the builders Of
such card-houses, the great mass Of the
people are satisfied with the existing po-
litical organizations, and do NOT see how
new ones would be any Improvement upon
them. Thus last fall. in Chic, number
of very respectable gentlemen had Con,
yention, declared the old parties dissolved,
aud rendered them new one. The re-
suit was that PA 900 voters decided that
they were not willing TO abandon the
Democratic party 2l3,000 so pronounced

like the tenacity with which men cling TO
existing political organizations. They are
hereditary affairs. Seventy years ago the
people of Berks aud Lancaster counties,
Penn, which adjoin, were as much OPP
posed to each other politically as they are
now. No man can remember when our
Warren and Butler counties ever voted
together, aud we have not the slightest idea
that they will ever politically unite. Our
Western Reserve was just as unanimous
against General jackson, in 1923. as it
was against Horace Greeley in 1868.

A GREAT CuRIoe;yY.--Last week Mr..

20 this Office one Of the most remarkable
curiosities We ever saw. This consisted Of
q hens egg, having a we'll developed snake
inside the shell The egg was one tina.
was fresh laid and full size. When bro
ken, Mr.. Kline noticed something mixed
IN the white which he thought be would
take out He therefore lifted Il up, when
he noticed Il move, and closer examination
showed a tongue dart out in the most ap.
proved snake fashion, while the eyes could
be plainly seen. SO singular freak Of
nature was worth particular notice, and
80 he placed the egg and snake in a glass
and brought i to this Office, where Ii was
examined BY great number Of persons,
all Of whom expressed their astonishment.
The snake was about two inches long and
about as thick as turkey quill, and was
almcst eolorless The questions which
naturally arise are. how did ID come there,
and what would have been the result had
