CAUSES OF SUDDEN DEATH.

J Very few of thes sudden deaths
which are said, to arise from disease
of the heart do really arise from that
cause. To ascertain the real origin of
sudden deaths, an experiment was
tried and reported to scientific con-
gress at Strasburg. Sixty-s six cases of
sudden death were made the subject
of thorough post mortem examina-
ton in these cases only two were
found who had died from diseases of
the heart. Nine out of sixty-six had
died from apoplexy. while there were
forty six cases OF congestion of the
lungs-that is, the lungs were SO full
Of blood they could not work, not be-
ing room enough for sufficient guam
tity of air to enter to support life.
The causes that produce congestion OF
tho lungs are-cold feet, tight cloth.
ing, costive bowels, sitting still until
chilled after being warmed with labor
or rapid walk, going too suddenly
from close room into the open air,
especially after speaking, too hssty
walking or running to catch q train,
&c. These causes of sudden death
being known, an avoidance of them
may serve to lengthcn many valuable
lives, which would otherwise be lost
under the verdict of heart complaint.
That disease is supposed to be inevita-
BILE and incurable; hence many may
not take the pains they would to avoid
sudden death, if they knew it lay in
their power.

said to lie buried, and suggested that
as an experiment the excavation be
made to the depth mentioned by the
preacher. Mr.. Pillow, to whom the
premises belong, agreed, and the work
was done. Strange to say, about
thirty pieces of silver, Spanish coin,
were found. The excitement became
intense and the ground was thorough
ly torn up in search for the treasure,
but no more of it had been found at
last accounts. Some OF the pieces, il
is claimed, were found from 21s to 4
feet under the surface. One of the
coins, brought to Lewisburg by Mr..
Campbell, bore the dale of 773, and
one found by Mr.. Haynes bore the
date of Sl5-the first mentioned being
1lO6 years old! Some of these coins
have been carefully examined and no
sign of erasure or change of date could
be detected. We give this account as
related by eye witnesses and gentle
