A singular Case.

The following extraordinary story
comes 10 MS from Cambridge, England:
A railway porter, about thirty years of
age, was recently seized with bronchitis,
and was supposed to have expired in the
throes of that dreadful ailment, which
slays every year its thousands Of little
children and of aged people, simply be.
cause extreme youth is equally with ex.
treme age too feeble to clear the bronchial
tubes by vigorous and sustained effort
of coughing. The railway porter sup
posed to have departed this lie was duly
laid out and placed in coffin. As his
assumed dissolution had been sudden,
the coroner was consulted on the pro.
priety of holding an inquest. Some un-
certainty in this regard appears TO have
reigned in the mind of the medical man
who had been calledin, but. at any rate, the
railway porter lay in his coffin two days,
at the expiration of which he quietly
got out of it, and, TO the inexpressible
amazement and alarm Of those present in
the chamber Of death, sat himself down
in a chair. II is stated that, in order to
alleviate the severity of the spasms of
bronchitis, the patients mother had adj
ministered to him sleeping draught,
which had produced deep snd lengthy
stupor, but the effects Of which had stop
ped short just on this side of the grave.
Commenting on this curious case. the
London Telegraph remarks that there
are advantages in keeping corpse above
ground for four or five days, or even for
whole week, after death. Among all
the Latin races, interment within four
and twenty hours is the invariable and
vigorously enforced rule Of police; and
had this poor railway porter been a
Frcnchman, an Italian, or a Spaniard,
he would have been duly screwed down
and carried away, insensible, but still
alive, TO the letery. Into any consid.
Grafton of tie waking up of the supposed
dead man, the mind, appalled,, shrinks
from entering. Who that has visited
the Musee Wirth at Brussels has not
turned away shuddering from that in

and arm, corrugated with the supreme
agony Of effort. protruding from the half.
raised lid of a coffin too hastily nailed
down? There Is no corpse within that
bic, but living cresture vsinly striving
to burst his cerements. Cases Of prems-
ture interment are, there is every reason
10 believe, lamentably prevalent on the
continent; especially when cholera or
other epidemics are raging. The most
ssrious objection to the Eoglish system
lies in the fact that 1t Is only the corpses

the twenty inhabitants were still in bed.
OF these six escaped, and the corpses Of nine
were subsequently obtained. Those of the
rest had not been dug up at last accounts.

nations especially concerned in the present

man lay back in his chair like one i'll.
For an instant my heart reprOached
me, AMI was almost ready TO confess
my trick, for my grandfather looked the
picture of despair.
"Pll go and saddle horse and ride
back. suppose you must have lost it
when the horse was being freed from the
harness. IT'S only three miles back and
the moon is now up. II won't take me
long to ride it,"
az think I'll go with you,' replied the
old man.
"Don't think oft" replied "Trust
me, grandfather; if can't mend clock
or turn a somcrsault, you will acknowl.
edge was always good hunter. I'll
bet you anything you dare that I'll re
cover every dollar Of your money"
"Do you think so ?' he asked, grasping
Inc by the hand. You must not mind
what I said to you, my boy, about being
good for nothing. You aremy grandson,
and my boy heir, too. All have will
be yours some day."
"There's one thing you won't agree to
let me have" l replied.
He waved his hand.
al know what you are going TO say"
he answered. "Weli, your grandmother
has been talking to me on the subject.
Go, along, boy, bring me back the four
thousand dollars, and I'll allow you to
marry Sallle Miller"
l made a spring for the door aud was
burrying to the stable. when the old
gentleman followed me.
Remember my conditions, the four
thousand dollars / lost. Find that for
me, and you can marry Sallie Miller,
and I'll provide for you. But il you
fail to bring me the money, say nay,
and perhaps for good while to come"
| flew along that road as fast as good
horse flesh could cary me, but ielt like
guilty wretch, a. knelt down by the
stone, and passed my hand beneath it..
A CLEAN of happiness crossed my heart
as held the package in my hand.
My first impulse was to hurry home as
fast as had hither. But rejecting that
my speedy return might throw suspi-
cion on the affair ! allowed the horse to
walk nearly the whole distance.
Grandmother met me at the door. She
said my grandfather had been counting
the minutes since left. lie was still in
the sitting room.
l held the package up, and grand
mother kissed me.
You are a good boy" she said, "and
I'll see that your grandfather does the
right thing by Sallie Miller"
Here you are, sir" | shouted, COM
ing into the old mans presence, and
placing the package in his hands.
"Thank heavenw he devoutTy ex-

Did you have much Of search? Where

"Just where ! said you lost it. On
the spot where we broke the shaft"
Grandfather examined the package
and found it all right Then he hugged
me, and pulled my ear, saying:
Now, you scamp, you can marry Sal.
lie Miller. Bring her home here, for she
no doubt requires a good deal of instruc.
tion in housekeeping, and your grand
mother will make her fit 10 keep your

years ago. All the landmarks about the

lures are so we'll known they scarcely
need advertising. Numbers of in
quiries reach here from the cities East,
and as far South as Charleston, for
summer accommodations, to say moth
ing of the lucky few who somehow
find them every year. All this is an
earnest of what could be done would
we suitably equip the town for the en-
tertainment of summer sojourners.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
company, being largely interested in
this immediate section, might be in
duced to cooperate largely in move
ment of this character. 1t is well
known that the hotels at Oakland and
Deer Park were last summer over
crowded and, in many instances, I'M
able to accommodate guests. With
the superior advantages and attrac-
tons afforded, why may not the COM
pany be induced to join in similar
enterprise here and thus provide
for all within the range Of its i'm
mense influence? If private means
and limited influences are inadequate,
why not seek the most available ALI
ance to secure an establishment
which must pay all interested-espec-
tally where everybody is interested?
Our conviction is the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad company should be in
vited to look into the matter. To
this end, let, say three, leading citi-
zens be sent to Baltimore as early as
practicable to lay it before the proper
authorities and solicit an inspection
of the premises.
The reason for suggestion so def
mite is, the movement should be made
alive at once and energized with all
the business force we can throw into it.
AS speciality emphasized by repre-
sentative presentation it will be enter
tanned by the company with much
more consideration and favor than
otherwise. 1t il here left with our
public spirited citizens, who, we hope,
will Immediately organize the move
ment at once in such manner as to
them seems best.

himself or his fellows, makes it mani
fest as strongly and as feelingly as
possible in a protest. We see in eve
ry case of emergency that capital gets
into, a disposition to crowd labor
down little closer, as though the
workingman, and he alone, was re-
sponsible for every depression in trade
or panic in finance. The sentiment
expressed in Railroader's article,
hoping for a time when all men who
labor with hands and brain and nerves
may be united in good wishes for
each other interest, is a good one,
and, if l mistake not, the bond is
rapidly growing stronger among all
who work and who love to work in
whatever capacity; all who shake
hands with duty wherever met, with
cheerful and honest intent. He who
runs may read" that justice and fair
dealing are as incumbent on railroad
corporations and coal mine corpora
tons as upon individuals. The labor
is as worthy of his hire nowadays as
when st. Paul lived. The New Jer-
sey Central railroad, one soulless cor.
poration, knows to their sorrow in
their utter ruin, what crowding min
ers and labors too close to the starva-
ton point will do in the long run.
We were born into this world with
an intuitive feeling Of rightfu!ness to
live, move, and have our being. The
declaration of independence tells us
all are equal and entitled to the pur-
suit Of happiness. These We're the
principles which governed our ances-
tors in bringing this government into
existence. We, their defendants, and
we, who came here from foreign shores
to escape oppression. which working
men are subject to in other countries,
expect and will, if not needed, de.
mand, in time, our honest rights as
citizens to honest pay for what we
perform. And no body of men,
chartered to have no souls, can pre-
vent US. Let all working men, of
every class, have patience and cour-
age and bide a better time in tie
future. LABOR.

Letter from Monnt Savage.
Mt. SAVAGE, Nav 9. 1877

1Hr. Editor Perhaps some ofyour
many readers would like to hear
fe>y words from this place. The list
thing ,lHt comes under notice is the
old rolling mill-the first, it is said,
that was built in the United States,
and where the first railroad rail was
manufactured in the country. But
now lou can see only the place where
the mill stood, and some hundreds of
men at work.
Everything is torn down now, save
pudding furnaces, and good many
men are working every day to con.
vert the mills site into a brickyard,
and it is to be big brickyard too.
The clay Is brought from the top Of
Big Savage mountain down nn IN
cline-plane nearly a niIe-ania-halt
long, supposed toio the longest in the
country. They are preparing as fast
as possible for locating the engine OF
the yard, the masons are working at
1t every day the weather will permit,
and among whom thele are two or
three from trostburg. Two of the
boilers are in their places. The
bricklayer who was building the
smokestack mashed his finger short
time since and therefore the work on
that Is suspended ior a few days Mr..
Delano, the superintendent, is push
ing things forward as rapidly as pos
sible, and calculates 10 make first
class job of it.
At the bottom of clay incl ne there
is another at an angle from it, to
bring down the coal; the track and
dump for this is pushed on with all
possible speed. 1t is thin vein of
coal but of good quality, it is said.
This will give work to good many
miners, the most of whom are from
Frostburg.
You see that Mt. Savage will take
a few of your good citizens from you,
for steady work is promised to steady
men Good fortune, then, to the Union
Mining company and Mr.. Delano,
their superintendent.
If l see anything of note here, I
will let you and your readers know.
