Pi t; 111,. 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.”- Official.

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 &.

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.

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.'

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. Rsv. CHARLES HARDINIG. Sholapore, India. 4 [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 Special Notice. ... «i Jr . s •; 9 ■I "J ?: i s Sr § in m < s W IHH I?
