DEAD AND ALIVE.
Boys, I nu•vcr swear now. Ilaven't used an
mob since I was dead !"
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. Get out

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. Bid I could hear, and had
kind of a misty notion about everything that
was going on :thou! me.
SOMP Or tilt! 111/3S, feeling of my forehead,

‘• It's no use ; boys," sail the boss, " the
poor fellow's gone. Ills neck was broke.
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. I
was put in a coffin, and it finally cacti out
that I was to Is' taken to Watertown to be
buried., My old mother lived there you know.
Oh, boys, I hope none of you will ever be
nith- to he .1 the horrors that I felt when I
fatal I WAS boxed up in a coffin and would
soon be buried. Seven years have gone by
' since then, but I never think of it without a
idintliler. I could hear them putting on the
lid of the cAmi, and then I knew I was las :

I would rather "die a thousand tithes over

what was going on. Boys, you may talk, hut

Pretty Bonn a neighbor came in, and there
teas a good deal of talking that I couldn't'un-
derstand. Then I va lifted out of t h e coffin

with a course towel.
Still I couldn't stir or open my eyes.
Then my mother corns to give me one last
look. I could feel her near me just fissile mid

my hair in Ike old way, that seemed to take tie

I tried with all the force I could to speak. I
mule one strong effort to arouse myself, and
finally broke the spell and looked up.
My mother fainted ; but help soon came, and
after taking some medicine and doctor stuff, I
was able to think freely and breathe again.
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. They had a good deal to say about my
paralyzing my nervous system and stopping
my cuculattun and all that, but, at any Tate, I

Tim amount of corn sown broadcast or in
drills during the last season, and likely to be'
sowed the coining season, renders it nn
portent question as to what kind of corn is
' best, adapted for this purpose, what time is
best for sowing, whether in rills or broad.
cast, and w h at is the way to snore it with the
least labor and in the best possible condition.
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!

have here a cradle about two-and.a•half

There are various ways of curing corn,
very few of 'which are perfect. 11 ith the

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.--

The fiercest contested. p.,litleal battle ever

Importance of their holding the positions they

stimulated tie entire party to extraordinary

But the Democracy is doomed to defeat.

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.
'I he old Democrat i c organization must be put.
veriz , tl br.f..re the people will regard It as safe
u. abandon the Republican party—the party
whose primary work was to put down its bar
eaining, and to restore principles to their place
in polities. Only when the traditional Con
spiracy which calls Itself the Democratic party
disappears, with all its Inveterate trickeries,
from the political world, will the honest peo
ple who have been so lone kept busy contend
ing against its immorality be able to turn their
attention entirely to newer but less momen
tous itemes.
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. As the first skirmish or
reconnoisamc• of the Presidential campaign,
therePtre, this Republican success in New
lampshi re, under time circumstances, assumes
the victory 11w Gen. Grant. It confirms the
general Impression sod removes the last
shadow of a doubt as to the action of the
Philadelphia Convention ; it 'discloses the
weakness of the " soreheads" as a disturbing
force, and it exhibits what Kossuth would
call the " solidarity" of the Republican party.
On the other hand, it must convince the Dem
ocratic managers that if they fight the battle
of 1872 under their old party organization
they Call look fir nothing better then a crush- k'
ing defeat. What then can they do? They
have the inviting alternative offered them of
the Missouri passive policy, the policy of
sinking the Democratic party in a free-and
easy fusion with all the anti grant elvtuents
of the country, beginning with 'the Cincin
nati Laberal Republican Convention.

In 109. Grant carried New Hampshire by
about 8,000 mt jorßy ; but now, alter stren
uous and desperate exertions, he has barely
saved it by a pitiful majority olperhapsl,ooo;
which shoWs a great ebh in his popularity
since he was elected President. In 1808, the
Federal patronage was In the hands of Ad
drew Johnson and wielded against Grant;
but now, with the patronage in his own hands
and most unscrupulously used, his majority
is a mere bagatelle compared with what It
wiv then. 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
