COINED Alive.
From the Omaha Her,

From the Omaha Herald.
The body of man who went to
California to regain his health was
recently shipped in a metallic coffin
to his former home in the East.
When the Central Pacific train ar
rived at Ogden Junction the corpse
was consigned to the Union Pacific
Express Company, and placed under
charge of Express Messenger Frank.
Burgess. While the train was in
the western part of Nebraska, Mr..
Burgess heard sounds from the cof-
fin that led him to believe that the
dead man had come to life. 1t was
in the night, and he heard the
sounds as he lay doing and half
asleep. Again the noise was heard,
and the attention of the messenger
was riveted to the coffin, and the
horrible possibility that the dead
might be alive thrust itself upon
the messenger so forcibly that he
called the attention of other en-
ployes to it, but, after listening
moment, they merely laughed at
him. The convictions of the ex-
press messenger, however, were so
strong that he had heard means
from the coffin that he had the case
opened when the train made its next
halt. The weather was verv cold,
and upon the inside of the glass
plate of the coffin there had aceu-
mulated a thin film of frost, such
as might have been deposited by
the breath of person confined in
such narrow quarters. The face was
also drawn up against the glass
plate, and other disturbances indi-
Gated life While Burgess had no
doubt that the man, though dead
then, had been alive in the coffin,
the other employees explained the ac-
cumulation of frost on the glasses
the natural exhalations of the dead
body, and the disturbances of the
corpse as due to the movements in
shipping.
A private dispatch received from
Chicago last night, says that when
the coffin arrived at its destination
and was opened, unmistakable proofs
of the terrible truth were discovered.
The hands were clinched, the lips
bitten, and the mouth filed with
bloody froth. The man had been
alive, and it was his moaning that
had been heard, but not recognized.

has issued circular letter to his credit
ors couched in the following terms:

have the legal tender in your trousers to
pay his just and lawful demands, worse
than you would To see an Indian, and

dated felt perfectly easy and contented,

A FALSE GUIDES FATE.
An Inctdent OF colonel Dahl ren's
Raid Around Richm0ad.

Philadelphia Times.
We now learned ~e were about three
miles from Dover Mllk and ten miles be.
low Columbia Mills. Our guide, the negro
spoken OF In the first part OF this narrative.
and who had been assigned to this expedl
ton, misled us during the night. aud, to
obviate the delay of retractin3 our steps,
Colonel Dahlgren, on the representations
OF the guide that an excellent ford was TO
be found at Dover Mills, concluded to cross
at that point. Alter two hours halt we
again moved on and soon reached Dover
Mills, but only TO meet disappointment.
The negro had deceived Us; no ford existed
at this point, nor was there any means Of
crossing the river He then stated that the
ford was three miles below; this was most
obviously false, as the river was evidently
navigable TO and above this place, az we
saw SEQ rs and a sloop going down the
river, and II would seem impossible that he
should not know that no ford existed IN the
neghbOrhood, where he had seen vessels
daily passing. Colonel Dahlgren had
warned him that II detecte dacting in bad
faith or lying, we would surely hang him.
and after we left Dover Mills and had gone
down the river 20 far a. to render prevari.
cation unayailing, the Colonel charged him
with betraying ~, destroying the whole
design Of the expedition, and hazardingt the
lives Of every one engaged In 1t, and told
him that he should be hung in conformity
with the terms of his service. The negro
becamed greatly alarmed, stated confused
ly that he was mistaken, thought we intend.
ed to cross the river in boats, and finally
said that he had done wrong aud was sor.
ry, etc. The Colonel ordered him to be
hung; halter-strap was used for the pur.
pose, and we LETT the miserable wretch
dangling by the roadside. HIS body was
afterward cnt down by the rear guard.
