A French physician makes the re-
markable statement that one-half at
least of the so-called drowned persons
are buried alive, and that they msy be
brought to life by proper treatment
after having been several hours under
water" His remedy is to get out the
water, pour. in and inject alcoholic
stimulants, and use a whip energeti-
cally, or hot irons in bad cases. The
statement has been partially confirmed
by the resuscitation of man after he
had been under water in one of the
Seine baths for more than twenty
minutes.

We notice that several of our Dem

tie in this manner: "We differ with
him politically, but personally and
socially we respect him as an honest,
honorable, high-toned gentleman .
We do not pretend to quote their lam
guage exactly, but that is about the
substance of it. Now, if they mean
by saying that he is thus honest and
honorable to convey the idea that he
has never been caught stealing a sheep,

SION the aI ROCK

LAURINBURG, August s, 1876.
DEAR S1R:-Having a spare moment
L will tell you about a trip the Laurin
burgers took last Sunday morning TO
attend the Methodist Conference at
Rockingham. There were three passen-
ger cars used on the occasion and they
we're full to over running. The Rev
DIR. Craven preached and it was quite
a treat to hear him. His text was
from the 9th chapter of Matthew and
10th verse, "Let your light so shine
before men that they may see your
good works and glorify your father
who is in heaven" The text was we'll
applied to all, hy illustration. to the
farmer. the merchant, the doctor, th.
lawyer and the magistrate, to the
husband and wife. and in fact to all
mankind. L shall not attempt to re-
peat a word Of the sermon for fear of
doing injustice to the orator, though
his sermon was SO plnln | think l could
repeat nearly the whole of 1t. [ have
heard the same text used often but
not in the way DR.. Craven used it.
It was certainly treat to hear it.

they have such man. He isan orna
ment to his calling, shining light in
his church. There was a very large
congregation to hear the distinguished
orator, the honse being crammed full,
while g. great many were out of doors.
The eexcursioners all enjoyed the trip.
or they successfully played the hypo-
crit by putting on pleasant faces. After
church a little shower of rain prevent
ed much prominading and n good
view of the town. 1t is not much of
country for farming; between here
and Rockingham on the railroad [ saw
few very fine looking farms. [ don't t
think farmers are quite so favored up
there !s here and south of here. Mr..
Mclean, of the firm of McCaskil &
Mclean, has been travelling for the
last 'ew days thirty miles south and
ten miles north of this place, and he
told me last night he never saw so fine
prospect for crops before in his life.
A Tilden and Vance club will meet
next Saturday and organize in full,
when you will have notice of it.
In my next [ propose to give your
readers the statiatics this quiet and
pleasant place as near as [ can.
Wishing you and Reform great suc-
cess, L am, truly yours,

A Ghost In a Coffin Shon.

A policeman of the Twenty-first Pre-
cinct on Saturday night found the door Of
an undertaker's shop, near Forty-first
street, unsecured, and raped for assist
ance. When his ''side partner" had come
up, both entered to see if burglars had
been at work. Striking match to give
them light, they were startled by deep
hollow groan, and the next moment were
almost petritied with horror at seeing a
shrouded form rise up before them from
an open coffin that lay on the floor.
They fled at once and neverstopped till
they had put two blocks between them
selves and the cause Of their fright. A
consultation was then held by them when
they determinedto make more thorough
investigation Of the extraordinary phen-
omenon. The explanation was simple
A poor fellow fellow who was employed
to do odd jobs around this shop by the
undertaken was permitted to Sleep in the
shop that night, and finding the cofliu
to be more warm than the floor, he laid
down in it, enveloping himself as he did
in several sheets. The door was secured
and the spectre went back to his couch in
the coflin.-Neto York Dai,y Ne,rs

A PLOT.

The Philadelphia police have arrested
Henry Marcus and Samuel Josephs upon
charge that they were engaged in con-
spiracy to issue bogus tax receipts. Mar
Gus was found in possession of q quantity
of paper used for the city tax receipts,
and it could have been intended for no
other purpose than for tax receipts. 1t
Is alleged that the fraud was intended TO
be for the benefit of the Democratic par
to, but it is quite rs likely that it was II
set up job between Josephs and Marcus
and The police, intended to cast odium
upon the Democratic party. Josephs
certainly is not a Democrat. He has
been disowned by the party and was
licked out of the state convention last
spring with such emphasis that it il i'm
possible that the organization can be
held responsible for his conduct. So
far as it is possible for party to reject a
member, Joseph has been rejected, and
his vileness can no longer impose odium
upon the Democracy. Whether the
fraud that he is accused of was part of a
conspiracy with the Republican organi-
cation, or whether it was an independent
scheme of .)osephs' to help the men he
may now be electioneering for, his action
cannot damage the Democratic organiza-
ton unless he shall be shown to have
been acting under its orders. In that
case the organization deserves to suffer
If the Philadelphia Democracy choose to
confide in Josephs after the State Demo
cracy have repudiated him, they richly
deserve to receive the damage so odious
connection must bring them. But it Is
far more likely that his man has been al
instrument of the enemy than that he
has been the agent Of the Democracy
