Another Dam Bursts.

By that strange fatality which sends
calamities in groups, here within two
months after the Mill River disaster fol-
lows the bursting Of two more reservoirs
in the western Massachusetts, hills and the
devastation of another thriving manufac-
turing valley, though fortunately the mis-
fortune is ofless extent than at Mill River,
and unattended by its tragic circumstances.
The reservoirs which burst on Sunday af-
ternoon, July y, were situated on Mid
dlefeld brook, fine mountain tributary to
the Westfeld river, and reaching it at the
Boston and Albany Railway station of Mid
dlefield Switch, three and half miles south
of the reservoirs. The damage done by
the LOSING of their hundred acres of waters
was first to leave the industries of the lit
tie village of Blush Hollow without water
power, to utterly demolish an old woollen
factory and grist mill, ruin carriage fel-
loe and shaft factory, destroy barns and
buildings, wrench from their founda-
tions and tear open dwellings, strip the
earth of rich gardens and orchards, to the
bare rocks, and leave the roads impassably
quilted, making, in fact, a second Skinner
vile in its desolation Of the bright little
village Rushing hence down the short val
ley and carrying away six wooden bridges
a woollen mill, and two houses in its way
the flood struck the highway and river at
Middlefeld Switch, and there tore for it
self wide passage, throwing down the
heavy masonry like mere stubble, and scoop
ing away the road bed for a considerable
distance. In the tortuous course of the
river between these points it demolished "a
stone bridge and somewhat crippled two
wooden bridges by undermining their abut-
ments, and at various points, rising over
the railroad track, washed out the road
bed. Reaching Chester, the waters car
ried away one wooden bridge in the centre
of the village, more or less damaged the
! foundations, dams, and stock Of several
manufacturing establishments, and quite
ruined many fields and gardens Below
this village the floods chief damage, out
side of that to the railroad, was the carry
ing away of a bridge at Rolling Brook, and
then it gradually lost its force and power
of mischief The entire damage by the
flood is roughly estimated at $3.50, ,000
and the estimate is moderate one, not in,

A Young Man Buried Alive.

SALT LAKE, July "A horrible dis
covery was made here yesterday upon
exhuming the body of young man named
William B. Lackhurst who was buried in
the cemetery on the 22d of June last. On
the Goth of June, Lackhurst attended
picnic here, and while there concluded to
take bath After coming out from his
bath, Lackhurst went back TO the picnic
grounds, and getting into a swing, began to
amuse himself All at once, while in the
swing his head dropped, his muscles relaxed,
and he fell heavily to the ground. He was
picked up and every effort made to revive
him, but in vain. The senseless young
man was placed in carriage and driven
home, where restorative agents were again
employed, but to no purpose. After some
hesitation, the physician in attendance
pronounced the young man dead, and
preparations were made for his interment.
The body presented singularly life-like
appearances much so, indeed, that the
friends felt uneasy about going on with the
funeral until more positive evidence that
life had wholly gone had been obtained.
The funeral was indeed delayed one day,
but finally the physicians reafirmed their
previous conclusion that Lackhurst had
died of heart disease, and the body was
therefore inferred on June 23d. But one
or two friends of the family seemed haunted
by the recollection of that life-like face.
They went about whispering their fears,
and finally these haunted doubts spread
throughout the city, and led to a proposal
to exhume the remains and settle the ques-
ton forever Permission was granted by
the authorities and yesterday number OF
the friends Of young Lackhurst repaired &c
the cemetery and opened the grave. Upon
! lifting the lid of the coffin a sickenins and
horrible sight met their gaze. The body
was turned over ON its side. The skin and
great pieces of flesh had been torn from thC
face the hair pulled out in huge patehe:
from the scalp, the grave clothes and coffir
] lining torn into shreds and two finger nails
worn down to the quick by the frantic
efforts of the man TO burst the ceremcat:
