Premature Burials.


1t is the positive but not altogether disin-
terested opinion of physicians and under
takers that people are never buried alive ex-
cept during epidemics, when burials are ne-
cessarily performed with great haste. The
change of position in the coffin which dead
body sometimes makes after burial is attrib-
uted to the generation within it of gases
which, by greatly bloating it, sometimes turn
it entirely over. Nevertheless discoveries
are made from time to time which afford
considerable ground for apprehension that
premature buriais occur when there is no
epidemic.
For instance, within few days past Capt.
J. E. Garrett of Springfield, O., heard of the
death of his father at Sandusky, and was
informed that the remains would be shipped
to Columbus for burial. He went to Colum-
bus to attend the funeral and when the corpse
arrived opened the casket to take farewell
look ut it, and found that his father was still
alive. The old gentleman is alive yet, and
although very weak does not despair of res.
toration to perfect health. If the casket had
not been opened he would have been buried
alive and probably have changed his position.
Then if his skeleton had been disinterred
lying on it's face that fact would have been
attributed to gases.
How a Horsethief Trapped Himself.
[From the Melbourne Argus1
A we'll known member of the criminal
class named John Dinon, who has recently
been discharged from jail after serving q
sentence of twelve months, was arrested last
| night on charge of stealing horse and
buggy. The circumstances which led up to
his arrest are certainly peculiar.
| About eight o'clock last night the morgue
was lighted up for the reception of the body
Of the little boy, Fred Oughton, who waf
drowned at South Richmond. Just at thai
time Dinon drove up to the gate, and, as the
building had not been in existence when he
was last at liberty, he was unaware of itt

for his horse. Mrs. Davidson, the care.
| takers wife, reported the matter to her hus
band, who was engaged in the morgue witt
Constables Bsrtley and Gardiner, and they
came out to see who the man that had made
such an extraordinary request might be
They saw at once by Dinon's appearance that
it was highly improbable that the vehicle
which was similar to those used by travellers
and contained some sample boxes, belonged
| to him, and as he was very evasive in his an
swers, he was taken to the city watchhouse
where he was recognized as Dinon, and
charge Of horse stealing was preferred

taken the morgue for hotel, but decli16

STATE TIDE LANDS.

WHATcOM, Jan 90. 1850
To fHE kDIToR: The taxpayers Of Beiiin&ham
bay are very much opposed 10 the policy at stste
ownership OF tide lands advocated BY lew.
The object OF national and state governments
h not TO speculate in real estate. There Is no
more reason for the seate holding present lands
for speculative purposes than there II for the
state 10 purchase more lands on speculation:
and there are very c0Rent reasons why the state
should not own half the valuable lands in any
city. Lands owned By the state would remain
untaxed by the city. and the pFivafS iand-0wn-
en- and Taxpayers would b compelled to pay
al the taxes for city expenses. even for the
benefits received BY the stale lands The ex-
tent and value Of tide lands on the water front
of the bay cities equal In area and value all the
lAnds now occupied for business purposes on
Beilingham bay. To enact . Law exempting
this land from taxation BY placing II
In the hands Of the state, and necesei-
tating heavier taxation Of city realty owned by
private individuals would be mAnifcstly unjust.
To have the state own and lease any large
amount Of land within any city would lead to
serious complications Every city should have
fall Jurisdiction % tax al the property within
tn limits for the maintenance Of the city gov
eminent, No community should be compelled
BY the state to enhance the value Of lands By
the expenditure Of energy and capital unless
the state il willing to bear the burdens of taxa
ton on It's lands In . reciprocal manner. The
state It large II not entitled 70 the increase in
land values created by the populou9 cities, and
70 enrich the state treasury at the expense Of
the cities and private enterprise would be IN ag-
gravated form Of legalized robbery.

few weeks ago, mailbag containing IT'S

II Pays TO Advertise.
New York Times.


Vermont woke up one morning several
years ago TO the realization of the painful
fact that large portion Of her farming ter
ritory was deserted. What to do she didn't
know. Her farms were therein the
thoughtful language OF an ex-president of
the United States, 1.-The soil remains" but
of what advantage are farms without farm
ersf Vermont proceeded to try number
of schemes to supply the farms with farm
ers, but none of them proved
satisfactory. At length, the other
day, she said to herself: II
will advertise" Advertise she did. and
what was the result? Why it is stated that
already several thousand letters have
been received by the commissioner OF agri-
culture and his assistants from every Sec
ton of the United States, making inquiry
concerning unoccupied lands in Vermont
Several sales of the lands in question have
been made to former vermonters now In
the West, and to citizens OF the state. y
This Is true story, and it carries an i'm
portant moral, to-wit: II pays to adver-
tise.
