BURYING ALIyE.-There are MANY
persons who live in constant fear Of be-
ing buried alive, and dread mishap of
that kind more than they dread DEATH To
all such it will be of interest that SIM
pie mode of distinguishing between real
and apparent death, due to the investi-
cations of DIR. Laborde, has received the
favorable notice of the academy of med
icine in Paris. 1t consists in the inser.
ton of bright steel needle into the
body; and it is said that when life is
present the needle soon becomes tarnish-
ed by oxidation while, on the other
hand, if death has taken place, the need
lie will retain its brightness for half an
hour or more. Thus, according to DR..
Laborde, simple oxidation with its at
tended phenomena, indicates that death
is only apparent, and the entire absence
of oxidation is sign of real death.
The above may be scientifically cor
rect, but some may regard the remedy
as worse than the disease.

A BULL FIGHT.--The St. Johnbury
Caledonian says that Jason Cole, farm
er in Danville, and his son Rush, had a
desperate encounter with bull last week
in which they came near losing their
lives. The bull was full blooded three
years old Jersey, and having shown a
belligerent disposition, they had put a
ring into his nose, to which was attached
a guard stick and rope. On this occa-
sion they led him from stable into a
small pen connected with the yard, when
he broke away and went for them with
a vengeance, knocking them down, first
one and then the other. Either one of
them might escaped at this time, but
for one to run was certain death for the
other. So they continued the contest.
fighting him by turns with stones, clubs
and whatever they could lay hold of /;
but their strength was fast failing, their
clothes were nearly torn from their bod
les, they were covered with mud and
badly bruised. Mr.. Cole was finally
knocked down and unable to rise, and to
all appearance the bull had got it all his
own way. But not so for, at this stage
of the proceedings, their dog appeared
upon the scene and took hand in the
fight, driving the bull back into the
barn, and rescuing them from their per-
ilous position. The bull was immediate
ly killed.

Murder and Robbery at Keene.
A VERY pARINa cRIME.

KEENE, N. H., May 24-About two
o'clock this A. NJ, the railroad Waterman
while on his way to call an engineer who
lives on Cottage street, noticed in the
yard of No. 10 school house on Wash
ington ST., a man lying face downward
on the ground, but supposing him to be
intoxicated did not 60 to him. On his
return he reported the case to the police
and they found the man to be Alvan C.
Foster who had been murdered and rob-
bed.
When found there was towel satur-
ated with chloroform about his head and
through his mouth as gag. His face
was cut by some sharp instrument, but
the death blow was given with round
substance, probably club, upon the
back of the head.
His pocket book was found some rods
from him rifed of its valuable contents.
He was agent for Chase's nursery of
Geneva, N. Y, and as he had been col
Letting for trees delivered few days
past, it is supposed he had considerable
amount of money about him. A private
pocket book containing about thirty dol
lars was found in one of his hip pockets,
which the robbers had overlooked.
Mr. Foster was hard working tenn
perate man and formerly had charge of
the wood saving machines on the Ches-
hire railroad. He was about forty
years of age and leaves wife and three
the youngest being about elev-
en- years old. Coroner Starkweather has |
the body in charge but as yet can find no
clue to the murderer, for whom the city
marshall telegraphs reward of $500. |
When last seen alive he was on his way
from prayer meeting
1t may be that the robbers did not in
tend to kill their victim, and the Keene
Sentinel Of this week says that they were
evidently two assailants, as their tracks
were easily traced to the woods.

Secession Not Dead.

SLAVERY TO BE RE-EsTABLIsHED.
1t is impossible to believe that any
considerable number of the people of the
southern states, still have the folly to
proclaim and advocate the lost cause, .
and yet the number is doubtless larger
then is generally believed, especially
may we suppose this to be true when
clergymen stand up and publicly pro-
claim that slavery is divine institution
and they must have it. and that " at a
not far distant day, there will be stars and
bars floating proudly over our sunny
south" Such it appears was the senti-
ment unblushingly put forth at recent
meeting, at Charlotte, N. c., on the oc-
casion Of decorating the graves of the
confederate soldiers, by Rev. DR.. S. T.
Martin. Yes, it appears that this man
was not only a clergyman, but also a
" Dr. of Divinity, and here is an ex-
tract from his " eloquent Grafton" He
said:
1t is with mingled feelings of
sorrow and satisfaction that / to-day re-
call the issues of 1860 and 1861. We all
mourn the loss of our glorious dead, who
so heriocally fell. The South is to-day
ruled over by the miserable thrall of
Yankeedom, but they cannot muzzle our
chivalry and patriotic devotion to the
lost cause. We fought for our rights,
but in Gods dispensation we are now
vanquished, but not towards. Slavery
was divine institution, and we must
have that institution or the South will
be bankrupt. They speak of our cause
as the lost cause If so, shall it be lost
forever? No! A new generation has
sprung up. and at not far distant day,
there will be stars and bars floating
proudly over our sunny South. In the
next political campaign we must, even if
in the minority, support Southern man
who will build up our interest and hurl
the Yankee pickpockets from our midst
We are to-day united to the puritanieal
past by an artificial tie. But we are a
distinct people. and God and the right
will enable us to show the world the
truth and the equity of our claims. Our
statesmen now in Congress are the cream
of that body, and are the only element
that reflects credit on the United States.
Is it not better to hang in the lost cause
than to stay in government of corrup-
fion ?"
When such sentiments as these are
thus boldly proclaimed with the addition
that a new generation is springing
up to enforce them, the union people of
the country may well take warning, and
act accordingly in the ensuing presiden.
