Risen from th3 Dead.

The Augusta Me. Journal, of Friday,
10Th inst, tells the marvellous tale:s We
have an event to chronicle that would
scarcely be believed were it not authori-i
tatiyely youched for by competent wit
nesses- parties whose testimony cannot
well be disputed or set aside. a Young
marin the toWnof Vassalboro, III. this
county, was suffering in the last stages Of.
consumption, the disease which had in.
sidiously and stcslthily brought him; to
the verge Of the grave. For several weeks
he had been entirely PROSTATE and unable
to speak, even to articn;ate syllable.
He became so oppressed for breath that
his attendants were compelled to raisethc
windows in:his room, put outthe fire, and
resort to every means to obtain fresh air.
One day lasttWeek Thursday, we under
s,and) the young man died. FricndlY
hands prepared the poor, enaciated body
for the burial; but just as the attending
friends were arranging the remains for
the casket there appeared evidences
Of returning life, in what had seemed to
them an inanimate mass Of clay. The
ear Of an attendant was bent down to the
side Of the dead man. and4it-was thscav-.
cred that the heart had begun again its;
slow and measured palpitations, the pulse.
throbbcd, and the young man arose from
the death slrouds, opened his mouth and
spoke il clear and distinct Wordseto those;
who stood appalle,lsin Tic death chamber
There was no lluskiness III his + oicc. lie.
appeared lively and active said lie felt
not ticslightest pain, but, to use his own
languag e::2 feel as *wcli as everSI did.
At his request tic ncigllbors were ell
called iii, who crowded the holse for.
hours, declaring thattile recovery Of the
man was equal to any miracle recorded
i'll the Scriptures. He told this startled
assemblageo of his friends and ncighbors
that, as lie died, all things Stoned dark,
but only for an instant: his eyes sudden
II opened to !, new world, the.real heaven,
which had been 50 many times in his
thoughts and given him SO much com.
fort in his last weeks Of pain and sorrow
He stood upon ineainence which over:
looked 4 vast and beautiful plain; the
magnificent plain stretched further than
his enlarged vision could penetrate, and
lie described it in language which, to his
mortal auditors, seemed extravaganza in
the extreme. But the rcvivified life Of
the young man was not to continue long.
Before night lie again resigned himself
to death. The body was kepta reasona-.
bic length Of time, and buried on Sunday
last. the funeral being largely 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 conclusions. .ss 81

Intention of doing so. The mere joining
of the association is not sufficient. Every

A FIRE DEPARTMENT.

At the last meeting of the Council. the
attention of that body was called to the
necessity of some organization of our cit
liens, to prevent the spread of fire and to
have charge of the engine now owned by
the village, and to work it when necessa-
ry. This is just what was recommended
by the TRIBUNE sever Il months ago, and
has been repeatedly urged since. We are
glad to see that the Council! has at last
deemed this of enough importance to take
some action regarding,it. 1t is much bet
ter to make the best use of what fire pro-
lection we have, than to regret we have
not better. The old engine properly man
ned and managed, would be able to do a
great deal of good at fire. True it must
not be depended upon entirely, but those
whose duty l. is to "run the machine
should not upon any pretext neglect that
duty should the time of action ever come.
The fact that there is a properly organ
lied fire company in the place, should
not prevent other efforts to subdue the fire
should there be one. At the time of fire
all effort should be under the lead of the
chief engineer. This would prevent much
wasted effort and in most cases much
loss.
In this connection the TRIBUNE will
express its views regarding the formation
of the fire company. To make it per-
manent success it must contain those men
whose large property interests makes
their interests particularly great in hay
ing successfully managed fire depart
ment. 1t cannot be expected that those
of small pecuniary interests will take hold
of this matter and spend the time and la
Dor requisite to get the company in a
good working condition, when those who
possess large property interests hold aloof.
Such action has made inefficient fire de-
partments in many places, and would
here. We do not know that there has
been any such lack of interest in misplace
from any class of our citizens. We call
attention to it simply because it is the
rock upon which many such Organiza-
tons have split and become ineffective
and useless, and that we may guard
against it. We trust that the movement
inaugurated in the Council will be push
ed forward until we en- point with pride
to our means of fire protection. 1t can
not be expected that all the facilities
which could be desired will come at once
If We make the best use possible of those
facilities We have Others will come in
time. -, gar.f cr ,t
