Saved by Forty Minutes from the
Gallows.
From the Atlanta Herald, 9th inst
1t will be remembered by our
readers that some time ago young
clerk near Leesburg, Georgia, was
knocked up at his store door late
one night, aud shot as soon as he
she we'd himself. He died imme>
diately. Suspicion fell at once on
Henry jackson as the murderer
He was arrested, tried, convicted,
and sentened to be hung on yester
day, the Sth of May, between the
hours of 10 and | O'clock.
The preparations were all made
for the hanging, and it was expected
that, ere this, his soul would have
been in eternity.
Yesterday, however, at about 8
o'clock, telegraph operator came
rushing into tho executive office,
bearing dispatch from Leesburg,
announced as very important. Col.
P. w. Alexander opened it, and
found that it was from Mr.. Tyson,
Ed. Watson, James Morgan, and
Geo. Kimbro, respectively County
Judge, Ordinary, Sheriff and Clerk
of Lee county, stating that facts of
recent development rendered it al
most certain that jackson was inno-
cent man, and asking in the name
of justice and the people of the coun-
ty, for respite until the proper in
vestigation could be had.
Colonel Alexander was struck
blank with dismay when he read this
dispatch, as Gov. Smith had gone to
Marietta for the purpose Of riding
over the proposed route of the Ma
rietta and Ducktown railroad. Col
Alexander reflected that if Governor
Smith had left Marietta and started
by buggies on his route of inspec-
ton, he would be beyond the reach
of a telegram, and consequently
could not be communicated with un.
til last night, when the man would
have been hanged. He immediate
ly dispatched a telegram to the
Governor who, as luck would have
it, was still in Marietta. He re.
piled asking where Leesburg was.
Colonel Alexander replied that it
was in Lee county and was formerly
called Wooten. The Governor then
telegraphed:
"Respite Henry Jackson's sem
tence for one week"-i. e., till Fri
day, the 18th. When Col. Alexan-
der received this dispatch it was IL
minutes after eleven o'clock. He
sent it at once to the Western I'M
ion. The operators there being
much excited and on their pluck,
sent it whizzing over the wire, in
less thap two minutes. Considera-
BILE anxiety was felt in the Cover,
nor's office as to whether or not the
dispatch had been received in time
to save the mans life. Col. A.,
hearing nothing from there, tele
graphed late yesterday evening to
know the result, and was gratifed
to learn that the suspicious order
came in time, and the criminal was
saved.

A HILL or SULPHUR. : One OF the
most remarkable deposits Of native
sulphur, as yet discovered, Is a great
hill composed Of pure article, found
some two years ago at distance of
thirty miles south Of the Union Pa
cific railway, and nine hundred miles
West Of Omaha. This marvellous
deposit is found to consist almost
wholly Of sulphur containing only
Is per cent Of impurities. The best
deposits heretofore available are
those found in Sicily. The principal
supplies for the manufacture of snl>
phuric acid come from there /; the
deposits contain 35 per cent Of inn
purities and IS per cent Of sulphur.
Our Western sulphur Hill, therefore,
is much the more valuable, aud
promises to become, ere long, Of
great importance to the country.

REDUCED TO ASHES
Cremation Exompllaed in Philadelphia.

Cremation Exempllfied in Philadelphia.
| An actual case of cremation oc-
cnrred in this city on Friday LAST
The body Of George Opdyke, son of
DR.. Frances Opdyke, was burned
in the cellcr of his late residence,
/ l,949, North Fourth street George
died Wednesday morning. Orders
were Immediately sent as follows:
To boiler maker for a boiler like
continuance, six feet and a half
long by two feet six inches in diam
eter, closed and rivited at both ends,
and opening in the middle on hinges;
it was to be made of the best boiler
iron to a bricklayer to construct
furnace in the cellar, closing up
with it the large opening beneath the
chimney, and making floor of
brick; half way in the furnace and
half way in the chimney on the
brick floor we're erected two little
brick towers, some six feet apart,
upon which the boiler or coffin, fiat
upon one side, was to rest, and two
loads of yellow, resinous pine.
The orders were all filed, and
the work done by Thursday night,
and on Friday morning at six o'clock
the ceremonies commenced. The
body, perfectly naked, was placed
within the iron coffin, which was
riveted and screwed together, put
upon the little towers, which rose
about a foot above the floor, the tin
throat piece taken from the chimney,
wood piled under, about and all
around the iron coffin, and set on
fire. The celler windows were
opened for better draught, 1t will,
Of course, be understood that, to pre-
vent the boiler bursting, holes were
pierced for the escape Of the gases
all along the upper side. It was
kept at white heat until four
o'clock p. NJ, when they ceased
firing up. A cord and half Of
wood was used.
1t was at first thought that the
coffin could be opened about mid
night, but it was atterward deter
mined to allow it to remain as it was
until daylight. 1t was then drawn
forth. When opened, not vestige
of the body Notwithstanding but
about quart of whiteiah gray ashes.
These ashes were collected and are
now in an urn on the mantle 10 the
doctors study. There is not par
ticle Of bone among them, and doctor
declares that when the ancients burnt
their dead on wood piles and collec-
ted the ashes they took with them
many pieces Of bone, for, he says,
nearly all the old burial urns opened
contained small bits Of bone.
During the burning, which the
doctor himself superintendent, and
which was attended by several promi-
nent physicians and other gentlemen,
there was little if any unpleasant
odor in the cellar. 1t was about Z
A. M, that the ashes were deposited
in the urn. When we called upon
the doctor, he showed US about a
teaspoonful Of these ashes. They
are to the torch much like pulverized
sugar, and perfectly odorless The
vase is shaped like common flower
vase, corked and sealed with red
sealing wax, and is about eighteen
inches high. Inscribed upon it is
the date of the birth and death Of
George Opdyde.

gress for the last twenty years in regard to
sewing machines, was that of Saturday, when
Senator Hamilton of Maryland, from the
committee on patents, reported adversely on
the application of A. 3. Wilson, for an extern
sion of his patent covering the four motion
feed, tn" patent for which expired two years
since. The sewing machine combination, in
which is included the Wheeler & Wilson,
Wilcox & Gibbs, Singer, the Cover & Baker
and the Howe, for two years have worked
hard for this extension and have spent a
great deal of money. A number of attorneys
and lobbyists have hung about the commit
tee room and the patent Office nearly all the
time, but the thousands ofpetitons signed by
over three millions people, asking that the
extension be refused, proved to be too strong.
Many of the signers are manufacturers, using
in some cases as high as fifty machines. The
effect of this refusal, it is said, will be llti-
mately to reduce the prices of machines to as
low as $50, though this cannot take place
until the Bachelor feed motion, which is now
in use on all the different machines, runs out.
1t was in testimony before the committee
that the Wheeler & Wilson machine which
sells for $S5, costs but trlfle over S12 to
manufacture it. These and all other ma
chimes are not protected in Europe, and they
can be purchased there and brought here at
a cost of about $40, including all expenses.
One Of the reasons urged in favor of the ex-
tension was that if it was refused machines
will sell so cheap that the owners of the same
will not take proper care of them, and they
cited cases where machines have been in use
for nineteen years and are still good.

This Institute has been established, and ia
conducted upon the plan adopted and found so
eminently successful by similar Institutions
in Europe, as for example, that Of Prof Won
Graete of Berlin, of whom the surgeon i'll charge
is pupil. The success and public favor which
have greeted it from its Inauguration, have been
so encouraging, that we have been induced to
extend its accommodations from time to time,
and now can confidently claim that no institu-
tion in the country can offer more suitable pro-
visions for the'comfort, care and convenience q
its inmates.
As this was the pioneer establishment in the
Southern States and is now in the fifth year of
its existence, it may be not inappropriate to re-
fer to the fact that since its Inauguration, nearly
five thousand operations have been performed,
including four hundred and fifty cataract opera
tions, the statistics of which compare most. ia.
vorably with any on record.
THE CHARITY DEPARTMENT OF THE
INSTITUTION, located at No. II Saratoga
Street, is supported By the City and State, and
is open daily for the reception of INDECENT pa
tients. The dispensary is open from to 10 A.
NJ, daily, when all applying receive the atten-
tion of the surgeon in. charge and me- icincs
gratuitously.
