Prize lonoy. and all eliCitisagaiteq t Ito 4 ;CW(3'111110%11 - IMllllptlyattentlk,hl to MiUMMOI KILLED AND A LARGE NUM- AVOLJNOEI) Over two hundred accidents from kick ing and rumting away of horses occurred during the past year, in Lancaster county 010110 nearly all of which resulted in inju ring the drivers, killing some, in:Cluing and woutaling others, and in most cases, breaking costly carriages and hinting the horses. • Of the above, nine-tenths were tame family horses. The safety bridle will put an end to all such needless accidents, and with the Safety Lines the speed of every horse is easily 1110011 increased. At the special meeting of the Saddlers of Lancaster city, N0v.27, 1867), the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : WIEEREAS, r .1.7111 usefulness, power and safety of Dr. Hartman's Safety Bridle and Lines have been publicly demonstrated demonstrated in the presence of from one thousand to fifteen hundred persons to their entire satistaction; and since it was proven at the Millersville 1101'60 exhibition on four of the most vicious and confirmed kickers and runaways, that with the Safety Bridle and Lines it is utterly impossible for a horse either to kick or runaway; thercibre Resolved, That we the Saddlers of Lan caster county, Pa., believe that the Safety Bridle and Lines accomplish all and even more, than is claimed by the patentee, in preventing horses from kicking and run ning away. Resolved, that in -view of the above farts we deem it our legitimate duty, both indi vidually and collectively, to exert all hon orable means to at once introduce the Bridle and Lines, because in doing so we in a very great measure prevent all acci dents with horses, while with the old and defective bridle we put in great jeopardy both life and limb. ILesolrecl, That hereafter we manufacture no other but Safety Bridles, unless especi ally ordered. The price of individual RigLts is $5 each; County Rights, from 100.00 to 500.00 accor ding to liopulation—these containing large cities excepted. No other investment before the public presents such inducements of making money. In every county there are atlettst twenty townships, and in each township at least one hundred persons who drive horses—which at live dollars for an indi vidual right will amount to $5OO per town ship, mid' ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for each county at the rate of twenty townships at live hundred dollars each ! have not the least doubt bat that amount of money can be made out of a county with proper business tact and energy. The price of counties is so small as to place the invest ment in the hands of every one, fur few aro so poor as to be unable to raise one hun dred dollars. Another feature about this invention is that the proprietor of the territory need not mannacture the bridles and lines as the ordinary bridle can be easily altered into a Safety. The lines only require to 'JO Made to , order, and these can be made by any saddler for a trifle mere than the ordinary lines. Hence, unlike other Tatents, the right to use it only is sold. No man need wish for a greater fortune than right ofa State, - ;To" ghow2the confi dence the patantee hits!in his in iention,he offers to pay 1;000 *dollars" for "any' horse that call (tither kick or run aWay when under the influence of the ;Safety Bridle and Lines'.. 'For County' arid - State rights address for circular, and for Individual Rights, enclose 1170 cl:llars to S. 13.

Sad are my thoughts, and my heart is weary; With a dismal sound now the rain drops fall, And the icicles cling to the garden wall. The meadows aro brown, and the trees are bare, And the fierce winds shriek through the frosty air; The birds and the flowers, have pass'd away, And sadness dwells in my heart to-day. Bleak! dead ! and so cold seems each hill and plain; And the hail stones beat 'gninst the window pane; From the scenes without, I now turn away; Yet darker, still darker, the slindoirs play. The bright flowers within, they too hare flown, Flowers fiat I fondly called my own, And "my birds' " sweet songs are now heard no more— They have flown, all flown through my cottage door, The angel of Death, with his gloomy pall. Has shrouded the gleam of the once bright wall, And without and within, all seetns:forlorn 'Alid the solemn wail of the pelting storm. Sorrow, to-day, is my dismal guest; And the gloom has settled deep in my breast ; In yon valley-churchyard, the mounds are new, And there my pour heart lies buried too. VtWreiliturou,s. Buried Alive and how a Body reels. I had been some time ill of a low and lingering fever. My strength gradually wasted, but th] scenes of my life seemed to become more and more acute as my corporeal powers became weaker. I could see by the looks of the doctor that he despaired of my recovery ; and the soft and whispering sorrow of my friends taught nit that I had nothing to hope. One day towards evening the crisis took place. I was seized with a strange and indescribable quivering—a rushing sound was in my ears—l saw round my couch innumerable strange faces; they were bright and visionary and without bodies. There was light and solemnity, and I tried to move but could uot. For a short tittle - a .terrible confusion over whelmed me; and When it passed off, all my recollection returned- with the' most perfect' distinctness; ,but the power of mottos had departed. •I heard the sound of weeping.at_my_pillow,and„the 7 voice:of the nurse, say, "He is dead." I cannot describe what I felt at these words. I !exerted my utmost power of volition to stir myself, but could not move even an eyelid. After a short pause my friend drew near, and sobbing and convulsed with grief, drew his hand over my face, and closed my eyes. The world was then darkened, but I still could hear, and feel and suffer. When my eyes were closed I heard by the attendants that my friend had left the room, and I soon after found the un dertakers were preparing to habit - me in the garments of the grave. Their thoughtlessness was more awful than the grief of my friends. They laughed at one another as they turned me from side to side, and treated what they believed a corpse with the most appalling ribaldry. When they laid me out,these wretches retired, and the degrading formality of ' affected mourning commenced. For three days a number of friends called t) see me. I heard them in low accents speak of what 1 was; and more than one had touched me with his finger. On the third day some of them talked of the smell of corruption in the room. The coffin was procured; I was lifted and laid ir.; my friend placed my head ou what was deemed its last pillow, and I felt his tears drop on my face ! When all who had any particular interest in me had a short time looked at me in the coffin, I heard them retire; and the undertaker's men placed the lid on the coffin and screwed it down. There were two of them present; one had occa sion to go away before the task was done, I heard the fellow who was left begin to whistle as he turned the screw nails; but he checked himself and completed his work in silence. I was then left alone— every one shunned the room. I knew however, that I was not yet, buried; and though darkened and motionless, I still had hope; but this was not permitted long. The day of interment arrived—l felt the coffin lifted and borne away—l heard and felt it placed in the hearse.— There was a crowd of people :wound; some of them spoke sorrowfully of mc.— The hearse began to move—l knew that it carried me to the grave. It, halted, and the coffin was taken out—l felt my self carried on the shoulders of men, by the inequality of the motion. A pause ensued—l heard the eords of the coffin move—l felt it swing as depended by them. jt was lowered, and rested on the 1 bottom of the , rrave. The cords were dropped upon the lid—l heard them fall. Dreadful was the effort I then made to exer, the power of action, but my whole frame was immoveable. Soon after a few hand-fulls of earth were thrown upon the coffin. Then RIME 7 00 A. M 120 P. M S 00 P. M 6 45 A. M 12 10 P. I\l 3 00 P. M. JaHetrli. Written for the Columbia Spy. Under the Willows. BY EVA ALICI s"',oo PER YEAR IN ADVANCE; $2,50 IF NOT PAID IN ADVANCE. there was another pause—after which the shovel was employed, and the sound of the.rattling mould, as it covered ma, was far more tremenduous than thunder.— I could make no effort, The sound gradually became less and less, and by a surging reverberation in the coffin, I knew that the grave was filled up, and that the sexton was treading in the earth, slapping the grave with the flat side of his.spade. ThiS too ceased, and then all was silent. I had no means knOWing the lapse of time; and the silence continued. This is death, thought I, and I am doomed to remain in the earth till the resurection. Presently the body will fall into corrup tion, and the epicurean worm that is only satisfied with the flesh of man, will come to partake of the banquet that has been prepared for him with so much solicitude and care. In the contemplation of this hideous thought,l heard a low and under sound in the earth over me, and fancied that the worms and reptiles of death were coming—that the mould and rot of the grave would soon fall upon me.— The sound coutinued•to grow louder and nearer. Can it be possible, I thought that my friends suspect they have buried me too soon? The hope was like light bursting through the gloom,of death. The sound ceased and presently I felt the hands of sonic dreadful being working at my throat. They dragged me out of the coffin by the head. I felt again the living air, but it was cold and I was carried swiftly awe —I thought to judgment, perhaps perdition. When borne to sonic distance I was was thrown down like a clod—it was not upon the ground. A moment after I found myself iu a carriage ; and, by the interchange of some brief sentences, I discovered that I was in the hands of two of those robbers who live by plundering. the grave and selling the bodies of par ents, children and friends.. One of, the men sun' , snatches.acj scraps of obscene songs as the cart rattled along over the pavenaent of 'flan streets:'i - 7' When Ilia!tea, I was lifted out, and I soon perceived by the clo::eness of the air, and the change of the temperature, that I was carried into a room, and be ing rudely stripped of my shroud, I was 1 1 placed naked on a table. By the con versation of the two fellows with the servant who had admitted them, I learn ed that I was that night to be dissected. My eyes were stillshut,l saw nothing; hut in a short sime Ileard by the bustle in the room, that the:tude - nts of the anatomy were assembling. Some of them came around the table and examin ed me minutely;+ . They were pleased to find so good a subject bad been procured. The demonstrator himself at last cam: Previous to begining the dissection, he proposed to try on me some galvanic ex periment; and an apparatus was immedi ately- arranfzed for that purpose. The first shock vibrated through my nerves; they rung and jingled like the strings of a harp. The students expressed their admiration at the convulsive effect. The second shock threw my eyes open ; and the first person that I saw was the doctor who attended me. But still I was dead. I could, however, discover among the students the faces with whom I was fa milliar ; and when my eyes were opened, I heard my name pronounced by several of the students with an accent of awe and compassion, ant: wish that, it had I been some other subject. I When they had satisfied themselves with the galvanic phenomena, the demon strator took the knife and pierced me on the bosom with the point. I.• felt a dreadful crackling, as it were, through /out my whole frame—a convulsive shud dering instantly followed, and a shriek of horror rose from all present. The ice of death was broken up—my trance ended. The utmost exertions were made to re• store me, and in the course of an hour I was in the full possession of all my tat ultics CURIOUS Joi;n.' Er OP A NgEDI.E.— , A gentleman of Chicago,a few days since cut from the left hand of an acquainiance in that city a piece or needle, five•eightbs of an inch long, which was broken off in the palm of the right hand six years ago lie states that the first he felt of the needle was about six months ago, in the wrist of the left arm. The needle was much corroded, and the gentleman will of course preserve it as a curiosity, it having traveled the entire length of both arms, besides passing through his body. Seedles which have been lost in the flesh have before been known to make strange passages, but this is one of the most curious cases on record. [WHOLE NUMBER 1,895• linnselioid Hints.
