Being Buried Alive.
A remarkable instance of suspended an
;ma,;op with q narrow escape feom hor-
r;bla death; occurred q few days ago at
Ietbro, Columbisna county, O., q little
town near Wellsville Two weeks ago
Mrs RAYMOND, Of that place, while away
on a visit, was stricken with what was sus-
nosed to be paralysis. After q week OF In
tense suffering she improved sufficiently to
allow of her removal TO her home at Jeth-
70. The day after arriving she was taken
with a relapse, and continued TO grow
worse until the doctor pronounced life ex-
tinct. Friends and relatives of the family
were notified by telegraph Of the demise;
the services of al undertaken were
secured; the body was prepared
for burial, wrapped in a shroud
and placed in the parlor to await the ar
rival of the coffin. A friend of the woman,
who had arrived from distance, had &C.
casiou to enter the room where Mrs Ray
mond had been laid out, and approaching
the body thought she discovered traces OF
animation in the lifeless form. She made
a more critical examination and discovered
unmistakaole evidences of vitality. The
muscles of the face and eyelids occasion
ally twitched, the eyes partially opened
and faint respiration was noticed. The
woman instantly gave the alarm and the
room was soon filed with friends, who dis
coyed the same indications of returning
life. Physicians were at once summoned
and every known restorative applied IN
the hope of saving her life. After three
hours of vigorous and unremitting atten

languidly opened her eyes in perfect

cause for the unusual commotlon, and
INQUIRED how she came in possession
of the unique garb in which
she was clothed. The stu
alton was explained to her, when she re
piled that while in her comatose state she
imagined she had fallen into deep, re

Tough on Tommy.

Tommy, will you have some more
pudding, my SOM" asked Mrs. Smiley at
the Christmas dinner. There was large
company present and she spoke very
pleasantly to Tommy, for she was afraid
he might be disagreeable. Tommy was
in the habit of making disagreeable re-
marks when there was company.
II don't know whether I will take any
more pudding or not. You are always
saying eat as much as four boys"
"Why, Tommy, you know better than
that"
"Yes, you and pa are always saying
Pm no better than pig. Are you sure
enough in earnest when you ask me if l
want some more pudding?"
"Tommy, I'm ashamed Of you. Won't
you have some more pudding, just a little
more, come now, that's good boy" said
Mrs Smiley, looking at him as if she
would like to skin him alive.
"Well," replied Tommy, de6antly,
''I'm in fix. If say I want some
raore pudding, then you'll say after the
folks are gone that the little pig had to
lave pudding twice. If / don't take any
more pudding, then you'll say that | ate
so much turkey that I couldn't eat any
more pudding when you offered it to me.

He'd Choose to be q Baby.

The following story was told at the
recent encampment of the grand army at
Mexico, Missouri. A group around one
of the numerous camp fires were relating
incidents of bravery and cowardice shown
in battle, and this is one of them:
ut was at the battle of Gettysburg, u
said the speaker, "when the bullets were
falling like hail, and the shells were q
shrieking and bursting over our heads in
a way to make the bravest heart tremble,
a private dropped out of the ranks and
skulked back toward the rear. he was
under way, when, unfortunately for him,
he was met by General Slocum coming to
the front.
"What are you doing here? Get
back to your post the general shouted.
"The poor fellow stopped still and
trembled like a leaf, but made no reply
'"Get back to your post, you miserable
coward aren't you ashamed of yourself
to be skulking back here when you should
be in the front with your brave COM
radesT"
"Still the man made no reply, but com.
menced to cry like year-old infant.
"You Infamous sneaking coward,
shouted the infuriated general, get back
to your post; I'll ride you down like q
dog. Why, you are nothing but baby.
"'I'll tell you what, general said the
blubbering fellow, I'D give anything
just now if I was baby, and if l had
my choice I'd rather be a female baby"

We had the pleasure, short time ago,

We had the pleasure, short time ago,
Of attending meeting of the Mt. Bethel
Debating Society. The young men and
boys did we'll, remarkably we'll, for their
opportunities. That popular question
among young men, Is there more pleas
ure in pursuit than possession? was dis
cussed with considerable interest, and
the evening passed off pleasantly. The
parents in that community encourage
their SONS by going out to hear their
speeches. Such meetings do good,
vast amount of good. We wish they
were more numerous. Give the boys
something to think about during the
week, and you keep them out of mischief,
and at the same time, develop their
minds and characters. Men must learn
to think on their feet. There is no bet
ter way to form this habit than by taking
part in such exercises. Some of the best
thinkers in the country are men who, for
the want of experience in that kind OF
business, would not dare to express their
thoughts before an audience. We woald
not presume to make an orator of every
boy in the land, but, by all means, let
them learn to express their thoughts in.
telligently and with ease. We hope the
Mt. Bethel Society may flourish, prove a
great blessing to that community, and
give to the world some trained thinkers
and speakers.
