The Terriblo Death of a Man in an Air
Tight Coffin.
The body of a man who went to
California to regain his health was
recently shipped in ai metallic coffin
for his former home in the East.
When the Central Pacific train
arrived at Ogden Junction, the
corpse was consigned to tho Union
Pacific Express Company and placed
under charge of Express Messenger
Frank Burges. While the train
was in the western part of Neb aska
Mr. Burgess heard sounds from the
coffin that led him to believe that
the dead manl bad comO to life. It
was in the night, and he heard the
sounds as he lay dozing and half
asleep. Again time noise was heard,
and the attention of the messenger
was rivetted to the coflin, and the
horrible possibility that the dead
might be alive thrust itself upon the
messenger so forcibly that he called
the attention of other elnployces to
it, but after listening a mio ment,
they merely laughed at him. The
convictions of time express messon -
gor, however, were so strong that he
had heard moans from the coffin
that he had time case opened when
the train made its next halt. The
weather was very cold, and upon
the insido of the glass plate of tl.o
coffin there had accumulated a thin
film of frost, such as might have
been deposited by the breath of a
porson contined in such narrow
quarters. Tihe face was also drawn
up against the glass plate, and other
disturbances indicated life. While
Burgess had no doubt that the man,
though then dead, had been alive in
the coffin, time other employees ex
plain('d the accunmulation of frost on
the glass as the natural exhalations
of the dead body, and the disturb-.
ances of the corpse as due to the
movements in the shipping. A
privato dispatch, received from
Chicago last night, says that when
the coffin arrived at its destination
and was opened, unmiistakablo
proofs of the terrible truth were
discovered. The hands were
clinchod, the lips bitten, and the
mouth filled with bloody froth.
The man had been alive, and it was
his moaning tlat had been heard
but not recognized.--Ona/a 11er

generally imported into England at
1 to 3 over proof, but thme str'ength
is lessened by age, so that whmen
taken from bond for sale it seldom
exceeds 3 or 4 under proof. The
quality of the brandy depends not,
as may be generally supposed, on

from which it derives its distin

fact becomes apparent when it is
reflected that while brandy, as is
w~ell known, improves with age, it
loses thereby a part of its alcoholic
strength. The very fin est brandies,
in fact, average from five to ten
under proof, and never rise above
two under proof.
