chance to prove to His Honor that he
never meant to create any disturbance
whatever. The public will probably
know tomorrow whether His Honor

Emma Blizzlerd shocked the pro-
prieties Of civilized life by using pro-
fame and other prohibited language on
the public streets. But so far from ex-
periencing remorse Mt this departure
from the straight and narrow way
of rigid morality she amused
herself by kicking tho helpless
inmates OF her lonely Cell. Ono re-
deeming trait she possessed was the
virtue which covers with glory the
biography Of George Washington and
his little hatehet. Hence when this
prompted her to say guilty, his Honor
merely echoed, "fve days in the Gala

When We consider the little atten-
tlon which ~ paid to the laws of health
by the citizens Of this country, we can
not be surprised at the indifference
manifested by them in relation to the
purity Of the articles that are used In

upon the market We're like DR.. Price's
True Flavoring Extracts, and Cream

answer, their perfect wholesomsness

The Singapore MutinJ and Slaughter

The Straits Times of Feb. Is contains a
long account of the mutiny of Chinese
convicts at Singapore on Feb. Is, in the
suppression of which Mr. Digby Dent,
the Superintendent of Prisons, received
injuries which proved fatal, and several
of the prison warders were severely
wounded. The outbreak occurred while
the prisoners were taking their evening
meal, after having finished work: "Mr.
Digby Dent was walking up and down
the roadway as usual at this time, and
the warders were all at their stations,
each watching the prisoners under his
care, when suddenly and without warn
ing two of the middle grade Chinese
prisoners sprang from the ground behind
one Of the warders, Mr. William B. Sand
ford. One stabbed him in the back with
a small chisel or similar pointed instru-
ment, while another aimed blow at his
head with Chinese hatchet which he
nad secreted below his waistband, but
fortunately missed his aim. Mr.. Dent
rushed in under the shed at once to res
cue Sandford from them, when they
turned upon him, one stabbing him re-
peatedly in the back and about the body,
while the other made blow with the
hatchet; at the same moment these
two men shouted word of
signal, and in q moment fifty OF
sixty of the worse characters in
the jail-pirates, robbers, and murderers
-sprang to their feet and rushed upon
their keepers with knives, chisels, hatch
cts, pointed pieces of iron. and such
other weapons As they had secreted
about their persons. Mr.. Dent and the
warders had no weapons save stout
walking sticks, of which, however, they
made good use, while the native sub-ward-
ers, who were mostly old Indian con,
victs, fought bravely to rescue the
Europeans, and in endeavoring to do SO
they were nearly all wounded, two very

A Remarkable Case OF Catalepsy.

Our neighboring town of N burg,
which represents Warrick County on the
Ohio, don't often have an occurrence at
tractiye to one tussling with the columns
of morning paper, but occasionally the
denizens manage to get up something on
the remarkable order
Some weeks since, Elizabeth Lippert,
the wife of farmer named Gottleib
Lippert, was taken very i'll with inflam.
matory rheumatism, and, the disease con-
tinuing, her life was despaired of. She
continued to grow weaker and weaker,
and few days since died, or expired to
all appearances. The grief of the family
was very great, but at the death bed
there was also a number of neighbors.
In the hour of distress they turned in to
make themselves useful, and proceeded
to prepare the corpse for burial.
The body was placed in a. convenient
position, and was noticed to be still
warm, but not more so than they are
after dying of fevers. The neighbors,
about half an hour after Mrs. Lippcrt's
death, commenced 10 wash the body. As
soon, however, as water was placed on
the face the corpse seemed to become in
spired with life, and after the ablutions
mad continued for nearly fifteen minutes
obO OpShto hOi tsNoi liuNh w thS "otou-
ishment of the attendants, who were not
a little frightened, for they thought they
were dealing with corpse instead of one
still on this side of the celestial world.
The women continued their attentions
however until Mrs Lippert was able to
speak. She said that just before she
"died" everything about her became
| dark and soon she went to sleep. When
she awoke it was bright, and, as she tells it.
she was in a strange place, feeling an &C.
stacy of pleasure, and was devoid of all
the racking pains with which she was
afflicted during her illness. She gives no
| definite idea of the land into which she
| had in spirit wandered, or the people
she met, but is certain she was in heaven,
and In her simple way described the
place as being an elysium of bliss.
While enjoying all this it became dark
suddenly, and she awoke as from pleas
ant dream to find that she had been a
corpse for nearly an hour, and that the
neighbors were washing her face.
| Since then Mrs. Lippert has entirely
| recovered, and is now able to be about
| attending to her household duties, and
| in her leisure moments relates to the
open-moutEed Newburgers the story of
| her death. This is the tale related by a
gentleman who arrived from Newburg
yesterday, and who resides near the lady
who was the subject of the catalepsy.-
