Buried Alivo Many people have a fear of being bnried alive. Although such a thing as prematuro burial is tho rarest occurrence in the world, it has indubitably happened and apprehension of similar trouble makes many a person morbid? ly sensitive. Tho will of the late Robert Gil more, of Baltimore, contained tho following clause: "Having always bad a horror of prematuro interment from a, conviction that, owing to the precipitancy with which tho bodies of the do ceased persons are in this country hurried to tho grave, many have been unquestionably buried under the appearance only of death, it is my wilt and pleasure that mine may not bo interred until my physician pronounces my dissolution actually to have taken place from I recognized signs of corruption, which are tho only certain evidences of death, and that in the meantime my coflin is to be loft open, to give nature a chance of resuscitation should lifo bo only suspended." If undoubted evidences of death could bo made apparent without the tinwholesome ac? company ment of offensive odors, it would be highly prudent to allow the corpse to remain abovo ground for a considerable period. But the memory of tho beloved dead is anything but pleasant when associated with putrifaction. Tho writer of this has never willingly looked upon tho remains of any person whom ho loved in life; consequently, those who have gone bofore are, in some respects, living recol? lections and beautiful forever. Of course, all persons cannot be so constituted, and it is for tunato for somo of the dead that a majority of people are far less sensitive. ' The most extraordinarj* cases of premature burial wo have recently noticed aro rolated as having occurred at Salt Lake, on tho 23d of last month, and, two years since, at Marseilles, France. In the first instance, tho victim was W. B. Lackhunt. It is said that he was sup nosed to have died of heart disease, and al? though "the body presented a singularly life? like appearance/' two days onlv intervened between the supposed death and the interment. After the burial tho anxiety of tho friends led to the body being exhumed, and terrible evi? dences wero presented, in a change in tho ' position of the body, the rending of largo pieces of flesh from the face, tho pulling out of tho hair, tearing of tho grave clothes and coffin lining, and the linger nails worn to the quick in frantic efforts to escape, that the man had been buried alive. The Paris correspondent of the Xew Orleans Picayune tells tho following story bearing upon this topic: "Two years since a family in Marseilles mar? ried their daughter who had just turned sixteen, to a young man in Salon, a town not far from ?eir residence. After tho wedding festivities e bridal pair set out for Salon, which they made their home. In the usual course of time a child made its appearance. Tho mother seemed in a fair way of recovery when a violent hemorrhage supervened. A physician could not be immediately procured. Tho loss of blood had produced a swoon. "When tho doctor did at last come he could only declare that the patient had passed away i beyond professional skill. The weathor was unusually sultry, even for that month and latitude." The medical man advised tho family to have tho body interred as speedily as possible. Six hours after her death the young mother was laid in her grave. Recently tho widower ac? quainted his mother-in-law and her family that ho proposed to many again. She insisted that her daughter's body should be delivered to her, to be buried at Marseilles. The mother in-law camo over to Salon to superintend per? sonally the exhumation. When tho door of the family vault at Salon was opened a heart? rending spectacle was seen. Her daughter's corpse lay in tho middlo of tho vault. Tho cofhn's top had been wrenched off and top and coffin lay on one side of tho vault floor. Tho floor of the vault was strown with the hair of the corpso, the grave clothes wore tont to shreds, and the hands half eaten. The unhappy young mother had boon buried alive, had recovered consciousness in tho vault, had burst the coffin lid, and made superhuman efforts to escape from her fearful prison, or to attract attention to her. All of them had failed, and sho had died of torror, of exhaustion, of despair?a liv? ing death, whoso seconds seemed centuries. The mother has been a raving maniac over since." The Baltimore Sun states that, somo twenty years ago, the French Government instituted an inquiry into hasty burial. A venerable arch? bishop addressed the French Assembly ear? nestly in favor of a longer interval being en? forced between death and interment than was then customary. Ho said that some fifty years before, a priest was saying mass in tho cathedral when he fell dead, apparently, at the altar. At his funeral, as the lid of the coffin was being closed, the eyes of the supposed dead man opened, ami a deep sigh escaped his lips. He was brought forth from the coffin, and for half a century afterwards lived and rose to high honors in his sacred calling. "I that speak unto you am he," said the old Archbishop to the French Assembly; "the young priest who died for a few days and was so nearly buried alive is tho old man who now addresses you." Whilosuch examples as those above given are extremely rare, undoubted signs of disso? lution should be manifested. It would be a happy conjunction of results if science could reveal some method of settling this moot point, and allow mourners to think of tho dead with? out horror and offense.?Augusta Constitution? alist. A Peep that Cost a Drummer Dear.? From tho editor of the Seymour Star, who came np on an excursion a few days since, and after a feast of striped candy and ginger-bread, combined with a look at the State House and Introduction to DcWolf, went back home hap? py and refreshed, we learn the particulars of an interesting affair which recently transpired in his native lair. It seems a drummer for an Indianapolis drug house, T. W. Cones by name, reined in his foaming valise at the Faulkner house, and after sampling several varieties of Seymour whiskey, made the rounds of his cus? tomers and then, in a somewhat exhilarated condition, sought his downy couch. From a room just across the hall there came cachina tory bursts of female merriment, mingled with ejaculatory suggestions to "don't," "behave yourself, now," etc. The curiosity of the drummer was aroused. Ho suspected that some fun was afloat, and he wanted to have some of it in his'n. Slyly opening his door, he brought a chair, climbed up on it, and stuck his head in at the transom of the room from whence there was a sound of revelry by night. It don't matter what ho saw. But at any rate he enjoyed it, and would, had it not been for an unfortunate accident, have been amply re? warded for the danger and trouble of the in? vestment. The accident was the unfortunate tumbling over of the chair, leaving him dan? gling ia a half choked condition, with his head inside. The noise attracted the attention of the occupants of the room, and a succession of feminine screams were emitted. The room happened to belong to a man?the secretary of the hub and spoke factory-and the woman ?was his wife. This man of blood happened to have a cowhide in his room, used as a ridin" whip, and coming out with a good deal of alacrity, he striped that unfortunate drug man until he would have shamed a zebra.?Indinnp olis Herald. Reunion of Or.n Confederates.?In many quarters wo see movements looKing to tho reunion of the men who have stood shoulder to shoulder in the days that "tried men s souls." This is a very natural impulse. The associ? ations and the friendship that bud them aro of no ordinary character. Already there have' been meetings; that at Union Point was a most enthusiastic one. it needs no argument1 to prove their good result to our humanity, as ' well as to tho general interests of all our people. There are now on foot movements looking to j the reunion of the survivors of a number of old Confederate brigades and regiments at our next State Fair. By all means let us have a glorious old gathering to talk over the old days and renew tho old attachments. We trust that the press will agitato the matter. The time of the State Fair will be most convenient to all. Such reunions would cement tho i brotherhood of brave hearts and would tend to the promotion of peace and the moral and ma? terial elevation of our people.?A Hanta Consti? tution. ?

THE table of Sowing Machine sales for 1873, show that the sales were as follows: SINGER, - - - 232,111. Wheeler cfc Wilson, - 110,190. Domestic, - 40,114. Weed, - - - 21,760. Wilson, - - - 21,247.

The table shows that sales of tho Singer ex? ceed those of any other Company, for the j)c riod named, by the number of 113,254 Machines, or nearly double those of any other Company. It may be further stated that the sales of 1873, as compared with those of 1872, show a relatively larger increase, beyond tho sales of other makers, than of any other year. For in? stance, in 1872 we sold 45,000 Machines more than any other Company, whereas, in 1873, tho sales wero 1113,254 Machines in Excess of our Highest Competitor. These figures are all the more remarkable, tor the reason that the sales >f the principal Companies in 1873 are less than their sales in is72; whereas, as has been shown, our sales have hugely increased. The account of sales is from sworn returns made to the owners of the Sewing Machine Patents. It will hardly lie denied, that the superiority of the Singer Machines is fully demonstrated.
