The experiences of one Jonas Nil-
son, a lumberman, which’are now
briefly to be related, will be regarded
as extravagant and extraordinary, but
they are nevertheless truly stated in
ail essential particulars. It appears
that during the £ast winter Nilson
has been employed at one of the lum
bering camps until about three weeks
ago-when a portion of a tree fell on
him while he was engaged at chop
ping in the woodSj innicting injuries
whioh were believed io be fatal from
wad carried to the
camp by hid w 6ompanions, and after a
of extreme suffering he began
to fail, finaUy.becoming unconscious,
pulseless, and with the palor of death
overspreading his countenance. The
men at the camp naturally concluded
that their unfortunate companion and
associate was dead, as no sign of life
could be detected. The body of the
supposed dead man was tenderly
placed in the only coffin which conld
he procured at the camp—a long dry
goods box—and the remains were
sent by wagon to the nearest railroad
station, and from thence forwarded to
an old personal friend of Nilson’s, a
gentleman named John Peterson, who
rerides near , the brickyard ip this city.
The coffin and body, after arriving in
Minneapolis, were conveyed to the
residence of Mr. Peterson, according
to directions, but were kept fpr two
days in order to complete the prepar
ations for a decent burjaL While ly
ing in the rude coffin at the residence
of Mr. Peterson, another old acquain
tance called to see the body.of his
dead friend, and during bis stay he
gave the corpse a close and critical
examination. Something about it

the visitor, and he sudflenlylooked
up with a pleased but startled ex
pression and exclaimed, “Why, Jonas
Nilson is not dead!’’ Whi'e the tna-
joi iy of those present did not place
any special confidence in the gentle
man’s pleasant remark, all agreed that
an attempt to bring the body to life
would not do any harm, even if it
failed in accomplishing any actual
good. Nilson’s body was lifted from
the coffin, placed in a comforable bed,
and such restoratives as were availa
ble and suggestive were carefully ad
ministered. Under the treatment a

of the supposed dead man gradually
