BURIED AL1vE.-We recently referred to
the fact that Prescott, the historian, had
horror of being buried alive and left pre-
cautionary directions, which were carried
ont before the body was buried. A writer
alludes to the subject in some remarks worth
quoting: ut is doubtful whether person
buried during suspended animation cou:d
recover consciousness with the limited
amount of air contained in coffin. Never
theless, that many persons have been pre-
pared for burial, and others prematuiely
buried, admits of no doubt; probably M re
frequently after cholera than most Other
diseases unless catalepsy), owing to rallo
exhaustion. Two or three tests may De up.
nlied. which would suffice in all cases. =!
these electricity ia regarded as aosoiuteiS
certain. On the best authority, death IS
certain when the muscles have entirely lost
their contractility on the application Of the
Faradaic current. The continuance OF lhe
contractility after death varies according 10
lte cause of death, but never continues
l.uper than three hours after des:h. Hence,
if there should be any response On appllca-
ton of thu battery after three hours, lie IS
not wholly extinct. and burial should oe
forbidden. Another test is akpiylng Inc
flame of a candle to any part of the oooy.
IF it blisters life is not extinct. O.her tests
have been proposed, but the above are be-.
lieyed to he the most trustworthy. In view OF
the possibility even of such dreadful occur
renee as premature burial, ought not under
takers to he required in all cases 10 make
the test of eectrct n method simple ana
inexpensive pr rery Other Saturday.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Virginia Advertiser
VOLUME L.YHH VI

The GAZETTE was established in 1900 and =
he Oldest paper published in the State, and with
two exceptions the oldest in the con..
try. 1t is proposed to keep up its usefulness and
to continue it as paper suited for the family A.
well Ms tor the counting room and work shop,
and to this end neither pains nor expense will hc
spared.
The GAZETTE crculates among people WHO
consult its advertising columns before purchas
ing. That this is sclf-cvidcnt may be Inferred
from the fact that large country editon-ncar-
ly as large as the daily-is sent out all this
section Of country three times a week, and Is
read by thousands, most of whom send here or
to contiguous cities to make purchases. The adj
vantages Of advertising in the GAZETTE
apparent and need 10 further demonstration.
The GAZETTE will continue to furnish tic
news kilograms of the New York Associated Press
and Of Reuters European Agency, while Ito
Washington correspondence will furnish the
latest and most reliable news from the capital OF
the nation.
The Commercial columns Of the GAZETTE will
give the earliest and most exact financial and
commercial news, with reliable reports of the
Grain. Cattle, Grocery and other Markets.
Its Richmond correspondence and special telc.
graphic dispatches will give early and accurate
accounts of the proceedings Of tho General Assem-
bly, and of all the operations Of the State govern
ment.
Correspondence from every section Of the State
published continually, and all events of Interest
occurring within the bounds of the Commonwealth
will be faithfully reported.
In the Local Department no pains will be
spared to chronicle all matters occurring in the
city and neighborhood.
