For the Democratic Adcocate.
Not Buried Alive,

AessFs. Editors Of the Democratic Adco-
cate Please announce that Miss Susie Weay.
err Enormously called Mrs. Susan Weaver, in
your last issue,) was not buried alive Her
death was not sudden, but after an illness of
weeks. Active and unmistakable evidences
of decomposition rendered it difficult to pre-
serve the remains until the hour assigned for
burial. Of minor importance is the fact, that
the dress in which she was buried was not
black silk. The writer, as attending physi-
clan and friend of the family has personal
knowledge of the truth of his statement and
can verify it by living witnesses. Very re-
specially, &c,

L.ssoing a wildcat.

While talking to my companion,

his lasso on his saddle, q tremendous
wildcat. fully four feet long. jumped
up in front Of us and started for the
brush. But the rowels were already in
the TANKS of brakes horse. and at
break-neck speed, the lariat curving it,
graceful coils above his head. went
pursuer and pursued. When within
twenty-five feet of his catship. the lariat
was thrown, and. en~circling like the
weird chain Of q magician. landed the
fatal moose around oudon's neck. Never
was cat Of any description in a tighter
embrace; horse at full run. the rope
fastened to the horn of the saddle, and
the game making unwilling jumps of
twenty to thirty feot- This. however.
only lasted q few hundred feet, when
the cat. catching the rope with Its teeth.
mapped It as II it were tow string.
Drake finding that his line was empty
and his hook gone las . fisherman
would say, returned to look at the
dead q~uadruped.
Deadl He was not dead but sleep
Ing" For with n yell and two bounds
he cleared al least forty feet. and fasten-
Ing n set Of claws in brakes leggins
aud the other in tho hip Of the horse,
he seemed to insist on . ride and q din
ner at the same time. But for the pre-
uenoe of mind of the rider and his fuck
