nothing %lndiscrect, but Intended to
create an intense feeling against the
liquor traffic. The liquor sellers are
to be visited In private, and asked to
sign a pledge. II they consent to give
up their traffic, the heads Of the City
Departments are to be asked to give
them employment. Three thousand
women are ready to work, and they

short time For some reason, no matter
what, it became necessary to open grave,
and it was but too evident that the person
had been buried alive. Every indication
showed it. The position OF the hands, the
condition of the clothing, the state of the
hair, everything could lead to but one con
cusion-that there had been terrible
struggle for life, that death occurred 6elo,o
not ADORE ground. We are thankful that
the immediate friends and relatives are un-
conscious of the facts, and trust that they
may always remain so. We should not
have referred to the matter except TO en-
force upon our citizens the danger of being
in too much haste in burials.

TOO NhUCEu HASTE.

Reyerently and tenderly do we care for
our dead. When the soul the life, the ex-
istence-call it what each one may please
have gone out of the body, when mortality
shall have put on Immortality, we carefully
and religiously lay aside the lfcless body,
the clayey tenement, that 1t may return
dust to dust, earth to earth, ashes to ashes
But still more tenderly, more aifectionately
do we love and care for those who are near
and dear to us, who are still spared TO us in
the flesh. Oh how little do we know how
dear they are to us until we are called upon
to part with them! Yet, when the breath
OF life scans to have departed, are we not
too ready to "bury them out of sight?' 1t
would seem so, if we may judge from a
very recent development here in Rutland
There are certain signs of dissolution
which no physician or other person can
mistake. When these appear, every one
can be certain that the Gver of life has
intericred and taken back His nestimable
gift Without these certain signs, these
unmistakeablc indications, the question of
life and death may be matter of grave
doubt. 1t is fact known to every one, that,
occasionally, the human bodywill take upon
itself the appearance of death, while life re-
mains. There is a kind Of "cOma"--we be-
lieye that is the correct term which close
ly resembles death in fact, it is almost
impossible to distinguish between coma"
and actual death. Persons have been
known to remain in this comatose state for
days, conscious of everything taking place
around them but considered and believed
by their friends and physicians to be dead.
Some of these have recovered in time but
some have been consigned by their friends
to living tomb. 1t is consolation that,
in many cases, their friends never knew
the facts Such is the case in an instance
of which we have recently become cogni-
zant, as happening in Rutland within a

The Aldine has large circulation, but
We, sometimes, are surprised that it has

No time was lost in opening the ilood-gates

first served, after which, escorted by the
bands Of music, they passed through the
principal streets of the town, and thence

The morning trains brought large rem
forcements from all portions Of the sur
rounding country, The train from the
north brought large delegations of
citizens who had come down to
participate in the exercises of the
day. The trains from Troy and Albany
brought up the citizen soldiery Of those
cities who had come to add eclat to the SER
