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. Hart

'Tis Winter ! and the sky is dark - and dreary, .
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.

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

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

upon the ground. A moment after I

interchange of some brief sentences, I
discovered that I was in the hands of two

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

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.

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

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.

Flannel shirts,or other woolens,should
have grease spots removed without full

three gallons of eJld water, in which
immerse the garment, and squeeze or

are removed ; then thoroughly wash in
cold water, else the odor of the gall be

It' burning fluid or benzine are used
to remove grease' or other stains, let it

lamp or fire. Valuthle lives are, lost
every year by neglecting this precaution.
Milk is kept good longer, if it is boiled,
evaporated, condensed, or kept still at a

Costive bowels have au agreeable
remedy in the free use of tomatoes at
meals—their seed acting the way of
seeds of white mustard or figs, by stim
ulating the coats of the bowels over which
they pass in their whole state, to increas

in the same direction is cracked wheat—
\ that is, common white wheat grains,
broken in two or three pieces, and then
boiled until it is as soft as rice, and eaten
mainly at two meals of the day, with
butter or molasses.

in a moment he was a sheet of flame.—
in that condition he ran out of doors,
screaming, as he ran. People followed
him in the endeavor to afford bim relief,
but the quicker they followed the faster
he ran. The sufferer finally halted from
exhaustion and pain The bystanders
then threw their coats over him, and ex

him in the mud. He was found to be
horribly burned, but the doctors say he
will recover.
