BURIED ALIVE.
Horrible Sequel to a salt lake City
Funeral.

Horrible Sequel to n salt Lake City
Funeral.
A horrible discovery was made in
Salt Lake July Sd, upon exhuming the
body of a young man named VIM. B..
LackhSrst, who was buried on the 2Sd
of June last. On the Goth of June
Lackhurst attended picnic and while
there concluded to take bath. He did
so in a running stream near by, re-
naming in the water some time. He
was in perfect health and apprehended
no i'll consequences. After his bath he
went back to the picnic grounds and
got in a swing. All at once his head
dropped, his muscles relaxed and he fell
heavily to the ground. Every effort
was made to revive him, but in vain.
The senseless young man was placed in
a carriage and taken home. After
some hesitation the physicians in at
tendance pronounced Mr.. Lackhurst
dead, and preparations were made for
his interment. The body presented a
very life-like appearance-sO much so
that his friends felt very uneasy about
going on with the funeral. The fn-
neral was indeed delayed one day, but
finally the physicians reaffirmed their
previous conclusion that he had died
of heart disease, and the body was bu-
ried. Two friends of the family seemed
haunted by the recollection of that life
like face. They whispered their fears
around till they spread throughout the
city, and permission was obtained to
exhume the body. Upon lifting the
coffin and removing the lid a asickening
sight was met. The body was turned
over on its side. The skin and great
pieces of flesh had been torn from the
face, the hair pulled ont IN patches, the
grave clothes and coffin lining torn in
sbreds and the finger nails worn down
tokthe quick by the efforts of the man
to burst the, cerements of his grave.
The sight was the most terrible evel
witnessed, and the stoutest-hearted Of
the party nearly tainted.
An investigation has been demanded
to seeif there is no way of fixing the
responsibility for this awful blunder.

A Bride and Groom in 177o.

The following description of couple
on their wedding day, in 1770, is anus.
ing and interesting
To begin with the lady. Her locks
were strained upwards over an immense
cushion that sat like an incubus on her
head, and plastered over with pomatum,
and then sprinkled with a shower of
white powder. The height of this tower
was somewhat over a foot One single
white rose bud lay on its top like an
eagle on haystack. Over her neck
and bosom was folded lace handker-
chief, fastened in front with a bosom pin
rather larger than a copper cent, con-
tanning her grandfather's miniature set
in virgin gold. Her airy form was
braced up in a satin dress, the sleeves as
tight as the natural skin arm, with a
waist formed by bodice, worn outside,
whence the skirt flowed off, and was dis
tended at the top by an ample hoop.
Shoes of white kid, with peaked toes,
and heels of two or three inches eIeva.
ton, enclosed her feet and glittered with
spangles, as her little pedal members
peeped curiously out. Now for the
swain. His hair was sleeked back and
plentifully befoured, while his queue
projected like handle to a skillet. His
coat was sky-blue silk lined with yell
low his long vest of satin, embroidered
with gold lace; his breeches of the same
material, and tied at the knees with pink
ribbons. White silk stockings and
pumps, with laoes and ties of the same
hue, completed the babiliments of his
neither limbs. Lace ruffles clustered
around the wrist, and portentous frill
worked in correspondence, and bearing
the miniature Of his beloved, finished
his truly genteel appearance.

To PRESERVE FLowERs.-Flowers at
this season, when a tolerable boquet
costs from one to five dollars, are rather
expensive luxuries and it is we'll worth
while to know all the devices of florists
to keep them fresh as long as possible.
Here is one, said to be practiced by the
Belgian florists, by which boquet can
be kept in fair condition for week or
ten days change the water every other
day; cut off, with sharp scissors, quar-
ter of an inch of the stems, and put a
pinch of salt and grain of saltpetre
into the water. If very much faded, the
stems may be put into hot water for a
minute or two, or into high wines, eau
de cologne, or ammonia.

To KEEP PLANTS FROM FREEZING
A sure method to keep house plants
from freezing, except in the very coldest
weather, is TO let pail full of water SET
on the stand for the plants through the
night. The heat given out by the water
as it lowers in temperature ls sufficient
to protect the plants. In the same man
ner vegetables and fruit can be kept
from freezing 10 the cellar.

Fun Dress in Iceland.

A correspondent Of the London Stand.
ard, who has been assisting at the late
festivities in Iceland, saw several ladies
dressed in the old Ieelaudic full dress.
One of the ladies and her costume he
describes as follows She was some forty
years of age, tall and stately, and would
have commanded attention in any assem-.
bly,. The bright complexion and abun-
dance of fair hair, as we'll as the general
tone of the features, proclaimed her true
Morse blood. Her dress, however, was
what most caught my attention. She
wore close fitting bodice and sleeves,
made of black wooden material with
broad gold embroidery down the front
and on the seams, fastened at the throat
by gold button, open after this about
half way to the waist so as to show
white chemisette, but with gold buttons
on either side, so that it could be closed
at will. Such bodice as this is often
laced up the front by gold or silver
chain, passed through kind of ring on
the edge of the buttons; but this lady
wore it open. Round the waist was
belt formed of plates of gold linked to-
gether, and hanging down in front near.
ly to the knees. Many of these belts in
gold or silver are heirlooms, and come
down from generation to generation
perhaps relics of the time when people
carried all their available wealth about
with them, as Hindoo women and shans
Of Persia do nowadays. The skirt was
OF the same material as the bodice, and
was perfectly plain except for a narrow
band of gold embroidered round the bot
tom, which was some two inches from
the ground. No founces or frills, and
above all no denominations in the way OF
crinoline ordress improver disfigured the
graceful costume lam trying to describe.
l know | do it very badly, and / dare
say ladies will think am Ounce, but
the task is new and uncongenial. But
the head dress was the most peculiar
part of the whole. | can only describe
1t as fattened cornucopia turning over
from the back towards the front. The
cap was high, covered with white silk OIL
linen, strained over a frame of card
board, and butt up with wadding. This
construction | afterwards inquired into
so it may be accepted as correct. Round
the band of it glittered about dozen ot
gold stars, and set in all round was a
very deep net fall trimmed with lace
This fall was lifted up in front and turn
ed back over the cap, while the back
part of it fell almost to the waist, the
whole giving much the effect of bridal
veil. The hair was worn in several long
and very broad plaits, which we're turned
up in loops, and their ends hidden under
the cap. This is the usual Icelandic
style of wearing the hair, and, of course,
dispenses with all the adornment of friz
zles and false plaits, which the bellies Of
more southern climes find indispensable
Clumsiness in my description may per.
haps impart an idea OF clumsiness to
