The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1880-09-16
REsUsCTTATIoN,


The doctor still objected and at last
confined his request to an hour, then
half an hour, then quarter of an
hour. Having discovered that the
tongue was swollen and threatened to
crack, he WIS erdeavoring to soften it
Ivy rubbing upon it some emollient
ointment, when the brother came in,
and mistaking what the doctor was
doing for an attempt to feed him, said
"It is a shame 10 be feeding lifeless
corpse" and insisted with esrnestness
that the funeral should Immediately
proceed. At this critical moment, to
the surprise of all present, the body
suddenly opened its eyes, gave deep
groan and sunk again into apparent
death. This put al end to all thought
of burying him, and every means was
again employed in hope of bringing
about a speedy resuscitation. In about
an hour he again revived and instant
ly sank away. In another hour life
seemed to return with more power
and complete revival took place to
the greet astonishment of all present,
who had been ridiculing the idea of
bringing to life dead man.
Mr Tennent continued so weak for
six weeks that great doubts of his re-
cOvery we're entertained. However,
after that period his recovery was fast
er, and in about one year he was fully
restored. After he was able to walk
the room and take notice of what was
going On around him, on a Sabbath,
his sister, who had stayed from church
to attend him, was reading her Bible,
when he took notice of it and asked
her what she had in her hand. She
replied, The Bible" He said
"What is the Bible? | know not what
you msan." On her reporting this to
her brother on his return, Mr. Ten
nent was found, upon examination, to
be totally ignorant of every transac-
ton of life previous 10 his sickness.
He could not read single word, nor
did ne seem to have any idea of what
it meant. As soon as he came capa-
bic of attention he was taught to read
and write as children are usually
taught, and afterward began to learn
the Latin language under the tuition
of his brother. One day, as he was
reciting lesson in Cornelius Nepos,
he suddenly started, clapped bis hand
to his bead, as if something had hurt
him, and made . pause. He said he
felt sudden shock in his head, and
now it seemed to him as if he had
read thSt before. BY degrees his rec
objection WIS restored, and he could
speak Latin as fuently as before his
sickness. His memory so completely
revived that he had an accurate recol-
lection of all the past transactions of
his life. This event at the time excl
ed deep interest and afforded not only

When OAK HALL began le

what we know Of our own persona
knowledge, there are not less than on,
hundred names Of persons In this city
who we're assessed by the Levy Court
last spring that are not upon the tsx
duplicates. These names are all en-,
titled to be PIT on, even though they
may have been accidentally or pur.
posely dropped by those who filled out
the tax duplicates from the minutes Of
the Levy Court. II precedent is good,
all that is required is to ascertain that
the lanes that do not appear upon the
duplicates are upon the minutes of the

Clerk Of the Peace being called to this
fact, that officer can give certificate to

The County Nominations.

So far as hear from the nomina
lions made at the Republican primary
election on Saturday in the country
are equally as strong as those made In
the city.
| Henry swayne nominated in Chris.
tiAna for the Legislature, is a plain,
practical, intelligent farmer well ad,
vancsd in life but still blessed with all
the vigor and intellect of matured
manhood. He like Mr.. Belts has had
experience as legislator, having been
member of the house In old Whig
times and again during the war. N
stronger nomination could have been
made,
John Pillirg nominated fer the Leg.
islature from White Clay Creek is too
well known to need conmendation
frsm our hands. He also has been a
LuemuoT VI ING uOuse.
ABdrev Eliason nominated from st.
Georges for Representative ID also an
old member OF the Housa a reliable and
substantial farmer. He is popular with
all who know him and will make an
excellent representative.
Henry C. Mahaffy Of Brandywine,
Amos Sharpless, of Christiana, and DR..
Ellison, Of Pencader, are all well
known gentlemen Of ability and
would all make capable and popular
officers. Mr.. Sharpless has been a mem
Der Of the Levy Court. Samuel II.
Derrick Of Brandywine and Samuel
Guthrie, Esq,, of New Castle have been
placed in nomination for the Legisla-
ture by their constituents, but there
is dispute at the present time as to
the right Of those hundreds to have
representatives which will have to be
atjudicated by the County Committee.
VIZ HOPE THE assessment books of th Q
Southern District Of Wilmington, re-
turned to the Levy Court by Daniel
hughes, Assessor for that District, but
which could n IT afterwards he found In
the Office of Clerk Of the Peace, have
been hunted up and put in their proper
places in the Clerks Office. There were
names upon those books assessed byI
Mr.. Hughes that do not appear upon
the tax duplicates. This is a very i'm
portant thing to those who won't to so
much trouble, time and expense to get
assessed, and now not only End that
their names are not on the Collectors
duplicate, hut End that the evidence of
their assessment is missing. In Justice
to the present Clerk of the Peace, we
are bound 10 say that it was not since
ne came into Office that search was made
f)r the books referred TO and they could
rot b, found.

The truth of the following wonder.

statement from his daughter, Mrs.

near that place, came across a tin can
on the bank of the ditch, which had
bean used by MIR. Gardner, the ditch

only Is years of age, picked up the
can, and, looking into it, discovered a
large rattlesnake coiled up at the bot
tom of the can. Nothing frightened,
she determined to capture his snake
ship and caro- it home, and with this
purpose in view, she went off a short
distance and procured a hammer, and
then returned to the spot where che
had placed the can. She then, with
the hammer, battered in the sides of
the can in such a n as to prevent
the snake from escaping. She then
picked up the can and carried 1t, with
its contents, to the residence of Mr..
Gardner, nearly a mile distant, and
called Mrs. Gardner out to see her pet.

The Army Worm.

Prof. Comstock, the ontomologis
of the agricultural depar' ment, hs'
been investigating the character and
habits of the army worm, and in his
forthcoming report sugg SITS the fol
lowing remedies:
The best means of preventing the
occurrence of this pest in cultivated
fields will be to keep watch of any
extensive tracts of lowland which may
be in the neighborhood, and if any
army worms are discovered destroy
them, either by burning over the land,
if possible, or by poisoning with ar
senic, Paris green, or London purple,
or by any other 9 of which the
local conditions will admit. In face,
it would be we'll 10 burn over all the
low lands in tho vicinity each wioter,
thus destroying the alternating in
sscts'
In BASE the worms do appear in Gull
tivated lands the best plan of action
to follow is to prevent the spreading
of the insect. This may be done by
destroying them, or by combining them
to the fields in which they appear.
Ths best method of destroying them
is by crushing with rollers, or by
poisoning with arsenic, Paris green, or
London purple. Either Of these sub.
stances can be applied rapidly by mix
ing with water and using a fountain
pump o garden syringe. In many in
stances, however, these remedies ara
impracticable.
The second line Of defense remains,
and, if we'll carried out, the result will
not merely be the confirming of the
worms to the fields in which they ap-
pear, but the destruction of them also
when they attempt to migrate to other
field. This is done by the mea of
bitches aud pits dug around the in
tested fields, or that to be pro.
tecte1. The bitches can be made
quite rapidly; first, pillow .
furrow with the '1and side" next to
the field to be protected, and then
with a spade make this side of the
furrow vertical, Or, if the soil be COM
pact enough to admit of it, overhang-
ing. When the ditch is completed,
holes should be dug in it from one
foot to eighteen inches deep, and from
twenty to thirty feet apart. The sides
of these holes should also be vertical,
or, it possible, o~verhanging. The
worms, unable to CT NIB up the verti-
cal sides of the ditch. will crawl along
the bottom of i. and fall into the holes,
where they will soon perish.
Where the soil is sandy. so that the
ditch cannot be made with q vertical
ride, it should be dug deeper than in
other cases, and the side made as
nearly perpendicular ~ possible, so
that when the worms attempt to crawl
up, the sand will crumble beneath
them and cause them to fall back
again.

BesieRed by q Bear.

Bod!e Cali Free Press.
Mono county presents q grand field
for conquest for the enthusiastic hun.
ter of the lower country, where such
small fry as quail, ducks and rabbits
are the only game that can be found
to shoot at. Up here the grizzly bear
roams about, seeking whom 1t may
deyour. Below Bridgeport this native
of the woods is beginning to be trou-
blesome, on account of its frequent
approaches to civilization. A few days
ago a teamster, who had in charge an
1S-mule team and o. heavy load of
freight, was delayed several hours in
his progress by a grizzly. He had
hauled the heavy wagon to the top of
a hill and left the "baotion" at the
foot. 1t being about dinner.time, he
left his team and returned to
the foot of the hill to partake
of a lunch, and was seated
on the load enjoying his frugal repast,
when there appeared at the rear of the
wagon a huge grizzly. The animal
saw the teamster on top and walke1
about surveying the Gene. The man
top had no firearms, and was in a
moment confident that he was in q
of siege.s To get of his load and
run was folly, so he sat and surveyed
his enemy. The bear seemed to enjoy
the situation, and wa not at all wor-
Occasionally he would sit on
his launches and look at the teamster,
and then content himself by picking
the pieces of lunch thrown to him.
In the meantime the teamster grew
nervous, fearing that it was . "gone
with him. His wife and chill
dren In Carson were thought of, and
the trip to Bodie seemed dubious.
The animal remained there about two
and concluding that it was of
no use to stay, walked off to the
wooded hills. The teamster made for
the wagon on the hill, and the few
gray hairs that are now seen distrib-
uted amongst his raven locks are at
tributed to this interview with bruin.
