RISEN FROM TIE DEAD.

The Augusta, (Maine) Journal of Fri
dav. 10Th instant, tells this marvellous
tale: 1--WE have an event to chronicle
that would scarcely be believed were 1t
not authoratively vouched for by COM
petent witnesses-parties whose testl-
mony cannot we'll be disputed or set
aside. A young man in the town of
Wassalboro, in this county, was suffer
ING in the last stage of consumption,
the disease which had insidiously and
steadily brought him to the verge OF
the grave. For several weeks he had
been entirely PROSTATE and unable to
speak-even to articulate syllable.
lie became SO oppressed for breath
that he compelled his attendants to raise
the windows in his room, put out the
fires, and resort to every means to OBJ
tain fresh air. One day last week
Thursday, we understand the young
man died. Friendly hands prepared
the poor, emaciated body for the burial,
but lust as the attending friends were
arranging the remains for the casket
there appeared unmistakable evidences
of returning life in what bad seemed to
them an inanimate mass of clay. The
ear of an attendant was bent down to
the side of the dead man, and 1T was
discovered again that the heart had be-
gun its slow and measured palpitations.
The pulse throbbed and the young man
arose from the death Shrouds and spoke
in clear and distinct words to those who
stood appalled, in the death-chamber.
There was no huskiness in his voice; he
appeared lively and active, said he felt
not the slightest pain, but to use his
own language, Il feel just as well as l
ever did At his request the neigh,
bors were all called in, who crowded
the house for hours, declaring that the
recovery of the man was equal to any
thing recorded in the Scriptures. lie
told this startled asscmblage of his
friends aud neighbors that as he died
all things seemed dark, but only tor an
instant; his eyes suddenly opened to a
new world, the real heaven which had
been so many times in his thoughts
and had given him so much comfort in
his last weeks of pain and sorrow. He
stood npoa an eminence which over
looked a vast and beautiful plain, the
magnificent plain stretched further than
his enlarged vision could penetrate, and
described it in language which, TO his
mortal auditors, seemed extravagant in
the extreme. But the reviviEed life of
the Young man was not to continue
long. Before night he again surren-
dered to death. The body was kept
reasonable length OF time, and buried
on Sunday last, the funeral being large
ly attended. We have written out the
particulars of this remarkable event
substantially as we have heard them,
allowing our intelligent readers the
privilege of drawing their own infer
ences.

AN ExrRAoRpINARY SUIr.-A suit is
now in progress in the Chancery Court
of Louisville Ky, which from the prom
inence of the parties concerned and the
extraordinary character of the issue In
yolyed. has created very decided SEN
sation there. The late II. d. Newcomb.
for many years president of the Louis
Vile and Nashville railroad, was mar
ried twice. His first wife became insane
and killed two of her children, and has
since been an inmate of the Massachu-
setts General Hospital for the insane.
Several years ago Mr.. Newcomb pro-
cured decree of divorce and was after
ward married to young daughter OF a
wealthy and prominent citizen OF Louis
vile, by whom he had two children.
He died last summer, leaving between
one and two millions. One son by the
first wife survived, ard is practically the
plaintiff in the suit, although it is
brought in the name of the first wife,
making all lega:ees and trustees of wills
defendants, and is brought to declare
the second marriage null void and lille
gal. The effect of decision in favor
of the plaintiff will be TO declare the
children by second wife Legitimate.
Able counsel have been employed on
both sides.

A FEARFUL LEAp.-Last evening as
the Express train on the B. d 0, II. r.,
due at CLIO, was nearing the town, an ell
derby man, evidently laboring under a
fit of temporary insanity, jumped from
the train, near the Huntsville distillery,
while it was running at the rate of TWEEN
ty-five miles an hour. Some railroad
men coming down the track found him
lying near tile point where he jumped off,
apparently insensible but they raised him
up with little difficulty ond he was taken
to DR.. n. D Bakers Office, where the DR..
made an examination and administered
remedies for his relief Strange to say,
no bones were broken, and few bruises
were visible, but he complained OF some
pain in his back. He appeared quite out
of his mind, and could only say that his
name was Christian Fredericks, and that
hs was from Danyille, Iowa. He could
not tell why or how he had jumped from
the train, nor where he was going.
Whether this condition was caused by
his fall, or lie is insane, it was impossible
10 determine last night. 1t is wonder
he is alive at all.-Martinsburg hide

Toll on THE CANAL.-Quite large
meeting was held in Cumberland OH
Friday last with regard to reduction
of the tools on the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal, at which series of resolu
tons were adopted, cmbodying this
suggestion and a committe appointed to
lay the proceedings before the Canal
Directors and the Board of Public
Works. 1t seems that the citizens of
Allegany are aprrehensive that the re-
duction of the coal freights on the Bal
timore and Ohio and Pennsylvania Cen
trail railroad will seriously diminish the
carrying trade of the Canal unless such
action is taken by the authorities ofthe
latter as to meet this changed state of
freights.
But while this is alleged to be the case
on the one hand, correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun of Saturday last, shows
on the other that the Canal authorities
have made reduction on wharfage, tolls,
&c, for the year 1875, sufficient in
amount to secure to the Canal fair
proportion of the coal trade. He says
the reduced charges on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad on a long ton are
S2.45 whilst the reduced charges on the
Canal are $l.99, making difference of
forty-six cents in favor of the latter,
which he thinks ought to secure the
Canal its proportion of trade. Whilst
we should be in favor of every measu re
that will promote the interests of our
worthy, industrious boatmen, it must
not be forgotten that the whole State
has an interest in the Canal which also
claims and demands protection.-Ra-

The extensive use of morphine as
beverage by the women OF Cincinnati,
il the somewhat startling announce
,nent which is made to the public by
the Cincinnati Enquirer. 1t cites a
physician and the druggists as its au-
ihority,. and suggests "woman's cru
sade" against the injurious practice. 1t
mentions the recent death of one unfor-
'turate woman. morphine victim. 1t
deprecates, as "one of the most deplor-
able of modern habits" the "growing
tendency of females to fly to the use of
opiates to alleviate the slightest pain.
It's most important suggestion, however
is that druggists be made to conform
to a stringent prohibitory law in the
sale of poisons. Why would not the
Enquirer also include alcoholic poison
as well as morphine! We have no
doubt that ten women are killed by the
former to one by the latter.

TARIFF SAM RANDALL THE CON
ING NAN.


ING MAN.
Washington Correspondence Of the New York
Herald.
The protracted flibustering fight
having ended, the Democratic members
of the House are now wrangling over
the point as to who is entitled to the
most honor. The leadership Is accorded
TO Sam Randall, Of Pennsylvania, who
has not heretofore been regarded as a
formidable candidate for the Speaker
ship Of the next House. 1t Is now
conceded that he has shown more
readiness and ability as a parliamenta-
rian than any Of the aspirants for the
position who are members Of the
present House, and u. c.. Kerr, Of In
diana, C0ngressman-elect, who has
been prominently named for the posi-
ton Of Speaker Of the next House, az d
who was present during the fight, saId
that he could mt withhold his urquai-
fed appreciation Of the manner in
which Mr.. Randall managed the Demo
cratic side. The objection heretofore
made against Mr.. Randall, that he is a
prOtectiOnist, It is claimed, has no
longer force, inasmuch as it Is not a
matter of policy, but necessity, that the
Government shall have increased
revenues. Mr. Randall says that
his policy would be one Of retrench-
ment and economy, and after that
judiciOusly to consider what taxes
could be imposed without creating en-
barrassment to business. Next to MIR.
Randall, Hester Clymer, Mr.. Beck
and Mr. Eidridge received the greatest
praise from their-cOlleagues, and also
from their political opponents, for the
fair and gentlemanly spirit in which
they participated in the protracted
session.
