4 vulgar error, all too common, and one
that has cost more than one life, is that a
dead body or ono supposed to be dead,
mustnot, when discovered. be disturbed I'M
iii taken in charge by an officer of the law
There is absolutely nothing iii this notion
aud no law regulating the matter but the
Law Of common sense and humanity, which,
IN the case Of a person found apparently
dead from drowning or hanging, would
dictate that the body should be at once re-
moved from the water or cut down and
efforts made 10 bring back the vital spark,
care being taken that the circumstances at
tending the finding and the position Of
the body be remembered as an aid 10 any
legal investigation that might follow. OF
course if body is Enthusiastically and III
dispntably dead there can be no good ac-
coInplished in removing it, if the coroner or
person authorized to act is in easy reach,
and it i often advisable that the jury Of
inquest should see its position as an aid in
investigating the cause of death, but no
such reason should stand in the way Of
active and prompt measures to remove and
revive a body apparently dead from such
causes as will admit Of attempts at resus-
citation. OF these causes, suifocation,
whether by drowning, hanging, noxious
gases or other means, is the most common,
and many cases Of restoration by use Of
proper means are recorded.

We are at a loss whether to ascrbe the
sad death of Luela Filler last Friday to
drowning or 10 the incomprehcnsible stu
pidity of those who were informed Of her
fall into the water and who might by
prompt action, have saved her life Many
persons have been resuscitated after being
in the water a much longer time than
Luella had been when found, yet no effort
was made 10 bring her to consciousness.
Though the water was but three and one
half feet deep where she lay, the rescung %
party could not get her out without pad
ding back to the shore for pitchforks or
graphing irons, and after wasting time in
this way and finally bringing the body to
tile surface, instead Of taking it into the
boat it was towed behind, all the time
under water, to the shore and Hen, instead
of being brought ont and efforts taken to
revive the victim, was mOorcd to a tree to
await the arrival Of a coroner. Men are a
good deal like shecp-when a bell-wether
takes the lead the rest follow. In this case
one Isaac w. Edwards, fresh youth Of
about twenty-one, who was in the boat
assumed TO act as bell-wether and ex-
pounded ''crowner's quest" Law to the rest

posed they were complying with the law
in leaving the body in the water and in
stead Of pitching this unlnitigated ass into
the pond to await the arrival Of tie coro-
ner, they allowed him to stand guard over
the body and override all suggestions that
it should be removed to dry land. The
facts of the case arc given in our local col
umns and if our readers can arrive at any
more satisfactory conclusion as TO the real
cause of LnelIa Filer's death than we have
been able to, We hope, for the credit Of OR
community, they will make It known. As
it stands the affair is discreditable through

r. NJ. I. Hunter was appointed new
Collector of Customs for the District of
Tappahannock, Va, Thursday. Hehas
had a remarkable history. Forty years
ago he was Speaker of the House of
Representatives, and was subsequently
elected to the United States Senate,
where he served for fourteen years,
until July, 1861, when he was expelled
ON the ground of participation in the
rebellion. He was Secretary of State
OF the Confederacy and member OF
the Confederate Senate. He was af-
terward Treasurer of the State of Vir-
glnia, which office he held until 1880,
since which time he has been living in
retirement on his small farm in Essex
county. He is now about seventy-six
years of age. In 1860 he was candi-
date for the Presidency before the
Charleston Convention. The Office to
which he is appointed pays $3.50 a year
with fees and commissions amounting
in all to less than $1,000. Mr.. Hunter
was very much impoverished by the
war, and was appointed to the office on
his own application.

BUSINESS DEPRESSION.

In 1879, Samuel Benner, an Ohio
farmer of intelligence and ability,
prophesied that the years 1856 -'S7-
'SS, would be years of decline in the
price of pig-iron, and years of depres-
sion in business. These years he argued
will be years of stagnation like those
from 1854 to 81, previous to the war.
1t appears that thus far he is right, and
the prospect is good that his predic
tions will hold out to the end Mr..
Benner probably had a foresight at that
time of the coming into power again of
the Democratic party, and as conse-
quence the uprooting and upsetting of
business. But, whether he had such
knowledge or not, one thing is certain,
his prophecies are being realized with
the beginning of Mr. Clevelands ad-
ministration. The campaign cries of
the Democracy, the most familiar of
which was Let us have a change"
have been fulfilled, and the change is
upon us. And what change!
From every section there is cry of
dull times. In Ohio ten thousand iron
workers are on a strike for wages,
and the contest promises to be long
and bitter. In Wheeling, West Vir-
ginia, three thousand men were thrown
out of employment Saturday In Pitts
burg thirteen thousand men are idle.
In the mills west of the Alleghanies
sixty-five thousand men averaging in
wages two dollars per day each are out
of employment. In the East both the
iron and glass business is PROSTATE,
while in the Few England States shoe
factories and cotton mills are shutting
down. Never in the history of the
country was business in worse state,
with perhaps the exceptional years
when financial panics have had full
sway.

be absent about three months. He has
the best wishes of many friends for a

The election of General Logan to the
Senate by the Illinois Legislature,
leaves but two places in the upper
branch of the Forty-ninth Congress
untitled. The New Hampshire Legis-
lature, which meets in few days, will
choose some Republican as the success
sor of Mr.. Blair. and it is safe to count
upon the coming of Republican Sen
atornext December from Oregon, where
the party has majority in the Legis-
lature, but could not agree upon a
candidate last Winter. This will make
the body stand forty-two Republicans
counting Malone and Riddleberger
on that side of the Chamber-tot thirty
four Democrats, Republican majority
of eight. The election of Republican
from Illinois gives that party also an
advantage in the contest for control of
the Senate in the Fiftieth Congress.
The terms of twenty-five Senators will
expire in March, 1ss7-sixteen Repub-
Hcans and nine Democrats-le
twenty-six Republicans and twenty
five Democrats to hold over.

panies, "a, S21. Is; companies taxed upon
capital stock, $91, ,27365. The total
amount of the tax is $133, ,0471O. That
which is still unimposed will amount to
about $4,000 more. The largest pay
ing corporation is the Mutual Benefit
Life Insurance Company, of Newark,
which is taxed $31 1,39431. The lowest
tax is imposed on the National jersey

Salem, whose bill is twenty cents, the
capital stock of the company being

response to the lifted hats of the men. "

DIR. Douglas said He will die sure.
He has gone; the pulse has left the
wrist"
Dr. Shrady, as If struck by inspira-
ton, replied; 81 will give him brandy"
"You cannot do it; he cannot swal-
low," said Dr. Douglas.
81 will give it to him hypodermical-
ly," answered DR.. Shrady.
How much?' asked DR.. Douglas.
"A barrel full if necessary" retorted
DR.. Shrady.
DIR. Shrady rushed into another
room. Harrison" said he to the
manservant, 'have you any brandy?"
Harrison answered Yes and handed
him some. DR.. Shrady rushed back,
and gave Grant syringe full in each
arm. The General revived, the pulse
saved.

ing room with Dr. Shrady, and asked:
Doctor, how is he?''

''Our prayess have been answered."
said DR.. Newman.
Il think it was the brandy" re-
sponded DIR. Shrady.
The General rallied for few days,
and there was no other severe attack
until the night when the spells of chok-
ing came on. Then he was convinced
that he would soon die. He went
about on his hands and knees and
coughed with great effort.
'Be quiet, be quiet, you won't, )" said
Shrady; lit will be over in minute.n
Il am choking to death" he said in
a feeble voice.
At a recent consultation the physi-
clans expressed opinions as to the time
that the General would live. Dr.
Sands thinks it is a matter of three
months, while DIR. Shrady thinks it is a
matter of six months. The disease is
progressing very slowly, but very sure
