He a•uy a tall, onu•eyed man, wearing n broad briaa o d and red flannel shirt. lle'sat on the - tailipg of the bridge, whittling and talking to three or four others standing near by. Yes sir, said be; I was dead once. It was the straogest thing you ever saw in your life. You don't believe it, hn ? Well, I don't wonder much. I don't sup pose any man went through such nn awful siege, and I can't expect anybody to look at it as I do. You see it happened like this : It wits wittier; we lumbered on Wititcothb Creek, six or eight year, , ago. It was war times then and wages were good. I wits get. ting Intly dollars a inonth and worked like a beaver till this little afi:ltr came NVe went at work about :title From the shanty—dint Robinson and me—and had' slashed into the pine like all possessed. The boys were haul ing pretty lively, for It was early in January, and sleighing waszood. Jun was it work on a hig tree about twenty ro Is Iron' where I was. Pretty soon, after he yelled to me, his tree toppled t.ver and fell. It was ns hand sore a piece of pine timber as ever you saw, and I watched it as it fell. Crash it went right into the branches of an old oak, and hung just there. I never aim r. fellow mad. der than Jim was—we did some tall cursing about them pines. Ile tried every pmsible w a y to loosen the pine, but could`nt get it tilt Finally we made up our minds to go fir the oak tree, and In about ten 'ninnies we had cut through so tint it trembled like a leaf with every stroke of the axe, he culling on one side and I im the other. IVlien it was almost through, us I was the biggest and best chop: per, sap I to Jim (and then I ripped Out a Leg oath), Let me finish her, Jim.

I knew something artful had happened, lint could not stir hand or toot. It seemed as though it was night, and that I was covered up by something that pres,‘rd heavily on me. Still there wasn't any pain; and or a lung time I staid there ; I Can't tell. I suppose it wasn't long, when I felt somebody pull my arm, and I heard Jim Robinson say:— 0, Lord ! Poor fel!ow !" I knew he was there, awl I could feel him tench me, and yet I imuldn't speak'or open my eyes, lie thought 1 was dead Then I won- tiered if all dead folks could hear and think things as I did. I tried to mice my hands .1 tried to Ineathe I tried to scream. But I couldn't do anything. Jon lett me, and the nest I rem. Inhered of, I was hauled to the shanty o n one stile of tae skids. You may het there was considerable txcitement among the boys when I was taken into camp. I could feel that I was dead. My heart didn't beat. I couldn't move.

The most we can do f ur hint is to take him to his folks:" Well they laid me nut on one of the sleighs, and after fixing me up in as decent a way as a corpse could be inn lumner c unp, one of the teamsters started with me for Oshkosh. I tirst didn't realize ju_t how.bad the situa tion was. When it began to leak into my head that I was really &ad, and was, going to be buried in the ground, and shut out forever front the light of the sun, it frightened nie. The long ride to Oshkosh passed like those things that happen in a dream. We got there and I was taken to my brother's house. Ile felt terribly bad whenl was brought home. I hadn't any 1,1,a he Or ught so much of me as he dbl. I could hear hint cry and talk, and still hadit i t the power to move a muscle.

In a little while I was well again, With the exception of an ugly scar on the back of my neck. The dot tors said I had a ~arrow escape. My spinal cord,. they said, had been struck by the branch of the tree, and I was as good as dead.. It was more than a miracle that Lwas brought to.

That very evening at the slipper table the lady complained ot feeling quite indisposed ; but theught nothing nt it until, while sipping her tea, she happened lii recall to her mind the lit- Ile fact of the coresive sublimate, when the idea suddenly Occurred to her that she might have been drudimg from the identical cup that had ht Id the poison.

Lost yi ar I sowed two acres all of it In drills . About one-third of the seed was sweet corn, one.third western corn and one-third Dutton. From toy last year's experience I think I I would rather pay two dollars a bushel for sweet corn titan one for any other kind, and I would rather have one bushel of Dutton titan two 01 western corn, because the sweet corn and the Dutton will mike twicens many ! stalks as the westsrn per bushel. and near:y t‘v ie.: 113 much milk and of tho very best goal i,ty. Indeed I mof the opinion that no hay will make as much or as good milk as sweet corn, or be relished us well by our milking stock. If iiny part of the corn raised be designed for winter use, it should be put in the ground as soon as may be after planting-thne, so that I it may be ready to harvest early in the 151500 or as soon as haying is over, in wldeli case it! wi II he likely to get well cured before the fall rains come on. A. little later sowing fir feeding in wanner will be just as well. Sowing In I drills I consider decidedly preferable to sow ing broadcast, as It admits the sun more read ily to shine upon it, and much liss seed will answer • • We II have here a cradle about two-and.a•half feet in length, with Strong teeth and fingers, so that an acre of corn may be cut in a very short lime and with much less labor than in any other way. There are various ways of curing corn, very few of 'which are perfect. 11 ith the amount of barn room last season, available lOr this purpose, I carried a considerable quantity of my crop directly into the barn, setting It it in thin layers around the outside and when it became sufficiently cured I added another layer, laid then as it WIN la ally an. other, as (dam as it would d h, and in this way a was as beautifully cured as could pos. siol• be done.

The Harrisburg Journal says We have been cogn'zant. for the past three clays, of the facts in to scene which occurred at the depot early on Stanley nu'rning last, but owing to a press or other important matters upon the local de• pertinent of the Journal, we have refrained from menti o ning the particulars in relation thereto (tarnished us by responsible parties) until this morning.. The dramatis personae in the larce were a certain gay conduct or,(not or "the city railway cars,") an insulted lady, her indignant husband, " Ben," a colored porter, and mine host of the "Brimbaliell"-- the _prince of our landlords, by the way. To our story: It appears that sometime In the middle of February, a lady of flue appearance and good address came to this City from some point east in the New York Min, via Allentown, due in this city about midnight. On the way to Harrisburg, the conductor of the train, she alleges, made improper advances, and the woman. apparently a shrewd daughter of Eve —a married lady—allowed the knight of the rail to proceed with his disreputable conduct in order. to fasten the guilt of libertinism lolly upon him. A. ranch stine meeting was ar ranged at the •`Alltambra" (no tnatter a',ont name,') but the women or course, for pre &mild reason., failed to "put In an appear ance." Her husband was lying ill at the tithe and, as a senailde woman should, she did.not cequaint that gentleman with,, he insult oh feted her, until a few weeks 'Alto. The up shot was, they "went" for that conductor on Sunday morning. About 11.30 Saturday night a dressed,modest looking lady Stepped into the "Bombshell," and Inquired whether she could stay a few minutes untill the New York train arrived. " Certainly, ma'am," said the rfillr. icons, obliging landlord, " Step into the par• tor." " Thank you," replied the lady, " I will remain here On the sating room) until my husband conies' The gentleman soon after stepped into the hotel. Then ethic the New York train dashing into the depot. " Will you please step over and tell the con. doctor," said the lady to '• Ben," the sable porter, "that the lady from Pittsburg wishes to see him a moment?" Ben went; the con ductor crone; was introduced to "my husband ;' loud talking 60011 followed ; a scuffle ensued, and the conductor WIIR backed up• against the wall, qtting Bev end smart blows upon his face, while the lady excitedly pulled from the folds of her dress a neat little riding whip, which she vigorously applied to tile shoulders lif snql o.taluctor. This act lasted anout, three min utes, during which time the conductor " hol lered murder twice," says " Ben," and ran out of the door hatless. The exhibition was over her,ure any interrerencecnuld be had—the land lord, who keeps a quiet, respectable hotel, was up.stairs at the time, and made Ins app arance only when the " scene" mad ended. The holy and husband then left the hotel, and walked quietly up street. Shortly afterwards two po licenwu wire brought into the lintel to make an arrest. No arri eta were made ; and as the parties were in the city on Sunday evening or Monday morning, it is most likely the matter I will rest here. The actors in the above de scribed seene, we are infbrmed, are all Boni Beading. Scenes of this kind wi,l occur, oc casinnally,and generally result with some gond to society, and the traveling public especially. To Hake a Mind This is the way we see it recommended : " Keep on the heads and fins ; do not open it more titan necessary ; empty, and wash Curl , fully.; stiff with forcemeat, of grated bread crumbs, red pepper and a little of powdered mace or cloves ; moisten with beaten yolk of egg. Stuff the tisk, reserving a little of the forcemeat; sew it up or sktiwer. !ogel her. Huh the out Bide with egg yolk and the reserved stuffing ; lash n the tail to the head in a gmee• fel curve ; put Into the bakepan about a gill of white wine and bake it gently up ti I done." Any one who chooses to cut baked shad—we doubt it' anybody pr. tern it--can follow the foregoing directions • but the beat thin can be done with thud is, directions; to plank it s : 2d, to broil it; 3 to fry it. We have eaten care. fully-broiled shad over hickoi y coals that were as good as plank; but even fried it in a mil lion times superior to take shad as above, in which one has only the name of eating shad.-- [ En.

The Democrats'had the advantage of being in power. and all over the Union the Importance of their holding the positions they captured last spring, was deeply felt. A Unit ed States Senator was also Involved in the contest and the hope of gaining this prize stimulated tie entire party to extraordinary exertions. But the Democracy is doomed to defeat. Even the demoralization of some of our leading Republican Senators cannot help them, and as went New Hamshire Tuesday so will go all the old Republican States of the Union when the time comes fur them to decide the CM Straw, Republican, is elected Governor by about 1500 over •Veston, Democrat. Tho Le gislature stands: Republicans, 167; Democrats, 101; Labor Retorm, 8; Temperance, 2. OI'INIONS OF' FIRE PRESS NO CONFIDENCE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY From itio New York EverOnii Post. The attempis . to bring local ISMS into the canvass f o iled. It turned entirely upon the question which of the two great national par ties the people choose to trust. The decision of New ;116111.910re is simply that they cannot under any circumstances give their confidence tai the Democratic party. It is to the Demo. era's as a party that New Hampshire speaks. It letts them that as long as they maintained a party organization. which has been prostituted for 20 years to every bad design of demago gues, front Iluehanan ' e seheme to subject Kan sas to Slavery down to Pendleton' plan for repudiation, they can find no favor with the people. As long as the main inane is kept be ti Ire the country, whether or not a set of polit ical triekstets whe 11(.1,1 a powerful organiia• lion for sale to any demagogue in exchangq. f..r power shall be trusted with the national government, the people will vote them down.

Till; BATTLE WON UNDER. THE GRANT DANNER Irmo tho New York Herold. New Hampshire, which last March was lost, was yes , erday recovered by the Republicans. 'I hey have fought this hattie under the flag of ' General Grant and upon the platform of his tylministration, and the result Is tho inlorsement ot' the Pres . dent and his policy for anotlp r term.

The Democratic 'party Is satisfied with this result. It confirms the certainty of Grant's renomination, precludes the taking on of any other candidate who might reunite the Depublican 'party, and though last not least, it removes the last vestige of danger that any portion of the Democratic party will pro test against the complete abandonment of dead isaues.
