SUNDAY MORNING September 27, 1868
HURLED ALIVE.
“Billy, woe’s this about berrin a man
alive in the woods, d'ye know ?”
This question was asked of a man in a
linen duster, with a red face, and his under
lip streaked with tobacco juice, standing
outside of thu main gate of Jone’s Wood,
Saturday afternoon, by another man in a
linen duster, whose upper lip was also
stained with fragrant Virginia juice.
“ Well, Nick,” said the individual ad
dressed, “I dunuo wot it’s exactly about,
but some fellows told me that a sick Dutch
man is going to bury himself in a wooden
box for twenty-live cents; a head, and no
free lunch to the boys. Let’s go in and
give him a lift.”
And in they went, after a lengthened
chat with the doorkeeper as to his right to
charge the two free Americans twenty-live
cents apiece to see a funeral.
“ Why,” said one, *' wc can take a slap
at a funeral every day for nothing at
Greenwood or Cavalry and much obliged.”
A "poster had made the following an
nouncement of the great and mysterious
event to take place under the umbrageous
trees of the Wood of Jones:
NO MORE FEAR OF BEING BURIED
ALIVE!
PUBLIC TKIAL AMI -EXHIBITION OF TUB
“PATENT RESCUE COFFIN,”
at Jones’ wood,
On SATURDAY, September 12, at2j p. nr
The inventor,
FRANZ VESTER,
Will be buried alive, and resuscitate him
self after a space of two hours. If raining,
the trial will take place on Saturday, 19th
instant,
The exhibition was to take place in the
large open space devoted to manly sports
in the centre of the Wood. About one hun
dred persons were present to witness the
eight. Os these about seventy-live were of
the humbler class of Germans who had
visited Jones’ Wood to drink lager beer
with their wives and children, and cat raw
ham and kortoffal salad with the friends
whom they might meet there. It was a
severe and unexpected stroke to them to
have to expend twenty-five cents to get in
side the gate to drink lager beer, but with
the mysticism of the lower Germans, when
they found that the individual who had ad
vertised himself to undergo a mortuary de
posit claimed to be a Teuton, and conse
quently a countryman, they became paci
fied, and fell on the raw ham with assiduity.
The festival was announced to begin at
;-?:30 o’clock, but it was nearly 5 o’clock be
fore Mr. Franz Lester -a German' of fifty
or thereabouts, with iron gray hair and a
speculative 100k —shied his castor into the
ring, metaphorically speaking. Franz was
attended by a young gentleman in an old
fashioned claw-hammered coat, who was to
deliver the preparatory lecture before the
mural exhibition took place. There was
also a German band, which discoursed truly
eloquent but very inappropriate music. A
pit was dug three feet deep, when the labor
ers found water, and as it was intended to
have the mock grave six feet deep, it be
came necessary to place a loose box around
the pit and heap up the ground to make a
more perfect semblance of a new made
grave. The lecturer began to discourse on
graves, bodies, damp sheeis, cold and un
pleasant tombstones, wakes, ghosts, spirits,
angels, devils, and cold roast veal. The
time would conic when every man could do
his little resurrection business, and dent h
would lose its sting, and- the grave no vic
tory. Then the band struck up “Champagne
Charley” and “Not for Joseph.” Theroughs,
who numbered a score or so, were much
exhilarated at this, and lhe resurrectionist-
Germans correspondingly depressed. The
coftius, much like other collins, only that it
was painted black, next claimed attention,
fl was about, a foot longer than Collins usu
ally are, aud was made of wood. Across
that part oi the coffin where the face of a
dead person is supposed to be located was a
wooden slide, with a elect underneath, and
then a gauze covering, so as to allow the
person prematurely buried, on recovering
from his trance, to breathe. The slide was
largo enough to allow the body to pass
through. The coflin was lowered down to a
polka tunc, and Mr. Vester descended into the
new made grave amid great enthusiasm. On
reaching the surface, he crowded in and, be
fore shutting himself in, a long wooden box,
open at both ends, and about two feet square
in the aperture, to let in the air, was placed
directly over the open slide in the coffin. In
this longitudinal box a bell was hung at
the top, near the upper opening, with a
rope attached, so that the resuscitated
person, on recovering, might alarm those in
hearing above ground, and thus procure
assistance. This being done, the “ wall of
tears was covered up, the clay being heaped
on in the fashion at ordinary interments.
Then the crowd gathered around with the
lecturer, and a physician, who held a watch
to time the buried man, as is the fashiorf
with a referee at a boat race. The crowd
were intensely exeited nt this juncture, ex
cepting the who believed that the
whole thing was a huge sell to beat them
out of their twenty-five cents admission.
“ He’ll euffikatc.”
“No be won’t; he’s a beat.”
“ Mein Gott, he nevare get up.”
“ This is a skin game. He’s a regular
roper-in.’
“He’s dhi’de I He’s dhode! Och du
lieber Gott,” said an excided female Ger
man.
“ Twenty d-o-H-a-a-s on the first blood,”
said a snub-nosed rough.
The band played “Rosalie the Prairie
Flower,” and “ Un Mari Sage.”
Mr. Vester remained below the earth en
cased in his coffin for one hour and fifteen
minutes. He was advertised to remain
below two hours. But nt the end of the
hour and a quarter the bell was agitated and
the wakist was dug out amid shouts and a
waltz from the band. Mr. Vester came up
groggy, but on his pins, looking very hot
and unpleasant in the face. His pulse was
examined and found to fluctuate a good
deal, and his knees were decidedly shaky.
The ceremony was then closed with a tri
umphant march from the “Prophete,” and
THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.
a rough declared “ Well, now, he’s not so
bad after all. But what’s to become of the
Bible if this kind of thing goes on ? This’ll
bust up the undertakers, suro. They never
can do it in Calvary, where they bury men
seventy-two foetdeep.”-

Proclamation by the Governor.
Whereas, Law-abiding citizens from many
sections of the State unite in communications to
this Department, setting forth that misguided
persons are stirring up strife among the people,
by unlawful acts of violence against the person
and propertv of citizens, on account of political
opinion; mid that persons distinguished for their
hostility to the Government of the United States,
mm of inis Stale, are promoting said avia of Vio
lence by publicly denouncing tire laws as revolu
tionary, unconstitutional aud void, and declaim
ing m a manner tending to excite resistance to tho
lawful authority of the State, and to persuade
others to join iu a combined resistance to and a
disregard of the civil rights of citizens; and
whereas, it is further communicated that the inev
itable result ot said acts of violence And insurrec
tionary appeals is already becoming manifest in
lhe rapid spread of a disposition on the part of
those who maintain the validity of the laws of
Congress, and of tho State Governments estab
lished thereunder, to protect themselves by arms
from said acts of violence, and from said combi
nations against their civil rights; aud whereas,
the General Assembly has adopted the following
preamble and resolution : “Whereas, it being the
practice of a portion of the citizens of this State
to assemble in large numbers with arms, for the
purpose of exercising in military tactics, and for
other unlawful purposes, without, authority of
law. and io the teiiviuf the good citizens thereof:
Resolved, therefore, by the Senate and House oi
Representatives, That his Excellency the Gov
enior be, mid he is hereby, respectfully requested
to issue iiia proclamation, prohibiting such armed
and unlawful assemblages. But the right of the
people to peaceably assemble for the consideration
of any matter shall not be impaired by any proc
laniatiou of the Governor.”
Now, therefore, I, Rufus B. Bullock, Governor
of this State, and Commander iu Chief of the
army and navy mid militia thereof, do issue this
my Proclamation, commanding all citizens to ab
stain from any acts of violence against person or
property, or from persuasions which will tend to
excite to violence or unlawful combinations, and
from all interference with the constitutional tight
of persons to assemble for political or other peace
ful purposes; and to yield prompt and respectful
obedience to the officers of the law under all cir
cumstances; and also charging upon the i aid
officers the exercise of great vigilance that the
majesty of the civil law be vindicated and great
caution that all their acts may be fully justified by
aud done in pursuance of our Constitution mid
laws. And to make known that, no authority has
been granted by the Executive for the formations
of armed or unarmed organizations el any kind or
character; and that the drilling or exercising iu
military tactics with arms of any organized body
of men within tins State, except, the army of the
United States, is unauthorized, unlawful, mid
against the peace mid good order of the State, and
must be immediately suspended.

The American Artisan
UNITED STATES AND FOREIGN
PATENT AGENCY.
189 Broadway, New York.
Messrs. BROWN, COOMBS & CO., Proprie
tors of lhe AMERICAN ARTISAN, oiler their
best services to inventor,, ns Solicitors of Ameri
can and Foreign Patents. Mr. Henry T. Brown,
of this firm, has liad more than twenty-two year,'
experience in that profession, both in this country
and Europe, and Ilia long practice has made
him personally known to thousands of inven
tors and patentees. The applications • for the
patents upon many of the greater and more im
portent inventions oi the present century have been
prepared by him. Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co.,
are thoroughly familiar with all the rules and re
gulations instituted for the rapid tiansaction of
business with the United States Patent Office, and
the general practice in the Patent Bureaus of vari
ous European countries; and this knowledge ren
ders them confident that their post experience, with
their present unequaled facilities, enables them to
elaborately aud yet speedily prepare all the docu
ments required by l»w iu applications for patents,
and to promise their clients an absolute certainty
ofmccessia theirjetforts to'.obtaiii'Letters|Pateutfor
inventions that are really new and useful. Parti
cular care is given to the execution of the accurate
drawing, which must always accompany every
application for a patent, aud they employ none but
the moat efficient draughtsmen. The best evidence
of the manner in which Messrs. Brown,
& Co.’s business is performed, is, that the “A.mkii
icxn Artisan Patent Agency,” during the three
years of its existence, has been the most ,nece,sful
institution of the kind ever establithed.
The principal offices of Messrs. Brown, Coombs
& Co. are situated at 189 Broadway,opposite John
street, New York, in the most central part of the
city. This location is one of very easy access by
strangers,inasmneh as it is within a stoue's throw
from tho City Hall. All inventors temporarily so
journing in the metropolis are invited to visit this
establishment . Injl lie majority of instance no model
or drawing of an invention will be necessary on
the first interview, ns a mere oral description by
tlio visitor will ordinarily suffice to convey such
akuowledge of his invention as will enable Messrs.
Brown, Coombs & Co. to definitely determine
whether a machine or process is new or old —paten-
table or not. The office hours are from 9 a.m.
to 5 P. M.
Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co. are prepared to
furnish to persons residing at a distance from New
York—free of charge— written opinion, as to
whether inventions contain any features of paten
table novelty; to do this they simply require a
sketch or rough model of the machine or other in
vention that is supposed to be new, together with
a brief description of the same, aud as soon as pos
sible thereafter a letter of the best, advice is mail
ed to the person desiring the information. These
opinions are formed from their own mature exper
ience;but if an iuventor desires to know, positively,
whether bis incipient idea has ever been embodied
in a machine or process already patented, his wisest
course will biflo have U preliminary examination
made at the United States Patent office by Messrs.
Buown, Coombs & Co., who will make u special
all the records of that institution, and
then promptly forward a full and carefully written
report as to the patentability of the invention un
der examination. For this labor the small fee of
$5 is payable in advance; aud the remittance
should be accompanied by a sketch of the invention
and a few lines of writing describing the same,
and distinctly stating those points of novelty which
the inventor desires to have protected by Letters-
Patent
Patents for new and useful inventions are now
granted for the term of seventeen years. The
first instalment ofthe Government fee is f 15, which
sum—together with fifty cents revenue stamp-tax
outlie power of attorney— is payable tn advance,
on applying for the patent; and S2O additional are
due to the Government when the Letters-I’atentare
allowed. The Agency fee is from $25 upward, ac
cording to the labor involved; but m ali cases our
charges will be as moderate as possible in the pre
paration of drawingsand all necessary documents.
This fee is uot payable until after the application
has been prepared and the case is ready to be sent
to Washington. Messrs. Brown, Coombs &. Co.
have a branchin AVashinoton so that alt applica
tions mails through them ean have every necessary
attention iu their passage through the Patent office.
Inventors applying for patents must furnish
models of their machines, whenever possible, for
the inspection of the Examiners in the Patent
Office; but if tho invention is a chemical composi
tion , samples of all the ingredients will be neces
sary. Each of these should be marked with the in
ventor’s name, then carefully boxed, and sent (by
express, prepaid),together with the first insial men
of the Government fee, to Messrs Bhow n , Coom bs
&. Co. When the modelis small aud light, it can
be conveniently and -cheaply sentby mail The
model must not exceed one foot in any of its dimens
ions, unless it is of such a character that it is im
practicable.
Patents, except those for designs, are granted
on eqnal-'erms to citizens and all foreigners, except
inhabitants of Canada and some others of the
British American Provinces.
Besides patents or new and usefu. inviutioue.
there are also granted patents for designs.
Design patents are not now, as formerly, limited
strictly to ornamental configuration : but under
Section 11 of the Act of Marell 2, JB6l, auy new
/arm olitny article, orany imprestion or figure upon
the surface of auy article or materiel, by whatever
means or process produced, can be patented. Un
der this Act. patentees are entitled to the exten
sion of their respective patei4b for the term of seven
years from the day on which said patents shall ex
pire, upon die same terms and restrictions as are
now provided fertile extensions of Letters-Patent.
Among the numerous subjects for patents of this
class may be particularly mentioned—castings of
all metals, parts of machines, household furniture
and utensils; glassware, hardware of all kinds,
cornices, and other interior und exterior decorations
of buildings; also, designs for woven and printed
fabrics, dress and upholstery trimmings, and har
ness labels and trade marks for medicines, per
fumery, and all preparations, compositions, or
mercliandiie, put up in bottles, boxes, or other
packages, are suitable subjects; also, the forms of
such bottles, boxes, or packages themselves, and
envelopes, likewise all works of art, as statuary,
busts, compositions in alto or basso-relievo. The
Government fee on a design patent for 3 j years is
$10;F years, sls; 14 years, $39. No models of I
designs are required ; but duplicate drawings or
photographs must be furnished- The specification
to accompany the drawings or photographs re
quires to be prepared with great care. Messrs
Brown,’Coombs &. Cv. give very partiettlar at
tention to this branch of their business. Their
chargofor preparing applications fordesigu-patents
is generally about s!•> Design patents are only
granted to American citizens or to aliens who have
resided one year in the United States and made
oath of their intention to become citizens thereof.
The facilities of Meeers. Beown, Coombs & Co
for obtaining patents in the various European
countries are equal if uot superior to those of auy
other in the United States. With regard to their
qualifications for such business, it need only be
stated that Mr. Brown has had tho prepara
tion of more European applications than auy
other person in this country, Messrs. Brown,
Coombs &. Co., besides having a branch office in
Washington, have their own agencies in the
principal capitals of Europe. A circular relating
to foreign patent business will be IniHishcd free
on application personally or by mail.

terferences, the extensions of expiring Lctters-

’ IF EAD THE FOLLOWING LETTER FROM
Telford. Missionary in China, now
‘ visiting his home iu Pennsylvania:
Washington, Pa., June 25,1866.
‘ Messrs. Perry Davi, <t Sow, Providence, R. 1.:
Dear Sire—During a residence of some ten
> years as a Missionary in Siam and China, I found
your vegetable J’ain Killer a most velneble
; remedy for that fearful scourge, tho Cholera.
1 In administering the medicine, I found it most
effectual to give a teaspoonful of Paiu Killer in a
gill of hot wtter sweetened with sugar; then,
1 after about fifteen minutes, begin to give a table
’ spoonful ot the same mixture every minute until
relief was obtained. Apply hot applicat ions to
< the exlreiuitier. Bathe the steaiach with Pain
’ Killer, clear and rub tbo limbs briskly. Os those
‘ who had the cholera, aud took the medicine faith
fully in the way stated above, eight out of ten
recovered. Yours, truly.
R TELFORD.'
If an attack with Diarrhea, Dysentery, or
Cramp Colic, don't delay the use of the Pain
‘ Killer. Sold by all medicine dealers Price, 25
centv, 50 centw, aud fl per buttle.
■ 1
Manhattan, Kansas, April 17,1866.
Gentlemen— » • I waut to say a little
more about the Paiu Killer. I consider it a very
, valuable medicine, aud always keen it on hand.
I have travelled a good deal since I have been in
Kansas, and never without taking it with me.
In my practice I used it freely for the Asiatic
Cholera, in 1849, and with better success than auy
other medicine ; I also used it here for cholera iu
1855, with thu same good result..
Truly, yours, A. HUNTING, M. D.
Swato, China.
Choleta ! * * * b regret to say that the
cholera has prevailed here of late to a fearful
extent. For the last three weeks, from ten to
fifty or sixty fatal cases each May has been re
ported. 1 Bhould mid that the Pain Killer, sent
recently from tho Mission House, has been used
with considerable success during ibis epidemic*
If taken in season is generally effectual in check
ing the disease.

[From the Portland Monthly.]
Summer Complaint and Dysentery.
Bowel complaints seem just now to be the
prevailing element, and any medicine tlrat is
everywhere acceptable, and that is reliable, is a
very desirable acquisition. From what we have
seen, heard, und experienced, we believe Davis'
Pain Killer is this desideratum. For the beet
method of using it, we quote from the directioua:
“For common bowel complaints, give one tea
spoonful in a gill of new milk and molasses, in
equal parts, stirred well together; lessen tile dose
tor children, according to the age. If the pain be
severe, bathe the bowels and back with the medi
cine. This mode of treaftnent is good in cases of
the cholera morbus, sudden stoppages, etc. Re
peat the dose every honr.
"The quickest way I ever saw the dyseutery
cured was by taklug one spoonful of the Pain
Killer in one gill of milk ami molasses stirred
well together aud drank hot, at the same time
bathing the bowels freely with medicine Let
the dose lie repeated every hour until the patiejit
is relieved.”
If every person who has reason to fe«r thia
disease would provide themselves with a bottle
of this medicine, and use as occasion required, we
believe a great amount of suffering and sickness
would bo saved. je!2—2m
