| Risen FROM TIE DEAD--A SINGULAR STORY
OF TEMPORARY RETURN TO LlFE.-The
Augusta (Ne.) Journal of Friday, 10Th in
stant, tells this marvellous tale We have
an event 10 chronicle that would scarcely be
| believed were il not au;horititirely Vouched
| for by competent witnesses parties whose
testimony cannot well be disputed or set
aside. A young man in the town Of Wassal-
! boro' in this county, was suffering in the last
stages 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 artculate syllyble.
He became so oppressed for breath that
he compelled bis attendants to raise the win.
dows in his room, put out the tires, and re-
sort TO every means TO obtain fresh air. One
day last week Thursday, we underStanu)
the young man died. Friendly hands pre-
pared the poor, cmaciated body for the
| burial; but just as the attending friends
were arranging the remains for the casket
there appeared unmistakable evidences Of
returning life in what had seemed to them
an iuauimlte mass Of clay. The ear of an
attendant was bent down TO the side OF the
dead man. and it was discovered that the
heart had begun again its slow and measured
palpitations, the pulse throbbed, and the
Young man arose from the dcath.shroud>,
opened his mouth, and spoke in clear
and distinct words to those who stood
appalled, in the death.chamber. There
was no huskiness ia his voice; be
appeared lively and active, said he felt not
the slightest pain, but, to use bis own Ian
suage, | feel just us well as ever did, At
his request the ncishbors were all called in,
who crowded the house for hours, declaring
that the recovery OF the man was equal TO
any miracle recorded in the Scriptures. He
told this sttrlled assemblage Of his friends
and nei.hbors that as he died all things
seemed dark, but only for an instant; his
eyes suddenly opened 10 q new world, the
real heaven which had been so many
times in his thoughts and had given him
so much comfort in bis last weeks OF pain and
sorrow. He Stood upon an eminence which
overlooked Il vast and beautiful plain, the
magnificent plain stretched further thaa his
enlarged vision could penetrate, and he de.
scribcd 1t ia language which, TO his mortal
auditors, seemed eXtraVagant in the extreme.
But the reyivitied lite of the young man was
not to continue long. Before night he again
resigned himself TO death. The body was
kept reasonable length of time, end buried
on Sunday LAST, the funeral being largely at
tended. We have Written out the particu-
lars of this remarkable event substantially Us
we have heard them, allowing our intelligent
readers the privilege OF drawing their own
infercnces.'

not exceeding TWO ounces in weight can he

distance of about eight miles, in something
less than two seconds so that, adding TO
this the time necessary Tor nlaking.up pick
ages, asserting them, and delivering them,
the whole Is lust about one hour. But this
only covers extreme distances, and the man.
ayers of this system in Vienna say that
in a short time the time between the receipt
and delivery viii be greatly reduced. In
fact, between stations only two or three
miles distant from each other such packages
are even now delivered within twenty
minutes after being deposited. Any post

by this dou! |" system of pipes. The dis.
patch of each package is announced by tele.
graph TO the office TO which it is sent, and
to al intervening Offices, to advise the latter
not to stop it on its way. The pipes are six
inches in diameter, with perfectly smooth
polished inner surface and the packages are
made up in India tunhcr cylinders OF various
lengths. The postage on matchmaker must
be prepaid at the rate OF two krrutZ-rS, one
