The Elmira JYee Press states that
General Garfield was asked the other
day, would he have tea or coffee.
“Really,” he said, “I don’t know. I
haven’t consulted Confciingand Platt
yet.”
The Augusta News observes that
the Republican party being the dog
and Repudiator Mahone being the
tail, it is interesting for the Demo¬
crats to look on serenely and see the
tail wagging the dog.

A singular case was before a Mis
sisaippi court a few days ago. A plan
ter decided to plant, his lands in gras:
seed and raise stock instead of cot
ton. Ilis neighbors, who all stick to
cotton, applied to the court for an
injunction to restrain the plantoi
from sowing grass seed, on the
ground that grass will not confine
itselt to the land of the platRerof il,,
hut spreads over surrounding planta¬
tions and unfits the ground for cotton.
Injunction granted.

President Garfield had a few days
of popularity at the outset of his
term, but as he turned into his sec
ond month he found his cabinet
divided against itself, his party split
upon long-standing differences, and
himself powerless to secure the con¬
firmation of important nominations
—powerless in a body controlled by
his own party. No administration,
not even that of the late Mr. Hayes,
ever occupied a more ignominious
position.— ConetitHtioH.

—The Legislature of Wisconsin
has passed a bill, which has been
signed by the Governor, prohibiting
the practice of “treating.” The bill
provides that any person who shall
hereafter ask another to treat at his
expense, or any person who may
consent to drink at another’s ex¬
pense, shall be liable to fine and im¬
prisonment. The passage of this
bill has created some surprise in
Wisconsin, as nobody had any idea
it would become a law when it was
introduced.
Jo ii. v Brown’s Widow.—A Wash¬
ington dispatch says Mrs. Brown,
the widow of John Brown, was at
the White House Wednesday, and
very desirous to obtain an interview
with the President. She represents
that she is iu very destitute circum¬
stances, and wanted the President to
assist her in some way, or suggest
some plan by which she can retrieve
her fortunes. The President, was
too much engaged to spare the time
to sue her, and she went away much
disappointed. She was dressed in
deep black, and is somewhat advanc
ed iu years, of large frame and of
plain appearance. As John Brown
has been canonized by the leaders of
the Republican party, it would seem
that his widow ought not to suffer.—

MAItYSVILLi: DOTS.
Mabysville, Ha., April 9th 1881.
Editor Recorder: This being a remote
portion of the county, and thinking
a few dots from this section might he
oi interest to at least some of the
jnany readers of the Recorder, I
have therefore concluded to drop
you a few lines.
Cattle, hogs and sheep have died
at a fearful rate during the past win¬
ter, which was the coldest and wet¬
test I have ever known. Fruit crops
were very promising up to the last
few days hut I think the peach crop,
anil perhaps the apple crop also have
been destroyed by the late freeze.
Farmers are late in planting corn
■is the Spring lias been so wet and
cold they were unable to pi ant at
the usual (hue. The oat crop through
this section is also a failure on ac¬
count of the unprecedented severity
of the past winter and spring.
The funeral of Susan Douglas will
be preached at the Douglas grave
yard on the first Sunday in May
next, by Elds. Edward Rhiner and
Daniel Tyson.
The health of the people through
this section is generally good with
the exception of eo’ds and coughs,
which are very prevalent at this time.
Corn is the scarcest T have ever
known if to be. Sweet, potatoes are
also very scarce, and there is a groat
demand for them for planting pur¬

FOUR DAYS IN HER GRAVE.
Tlio Horrible Experience of an
Illinois Woman.
Some days ago Mrs. Banks, of
Lynchburg, Mason county, 111., was
buried, though some persons present
at the funeral thought they saw signs
of life in the supposed corpse. A
Charleston, Ill., dispatch to the In¬
dianapolis Journal gives* the sequel
as follows: “The day after the fun¬
eral the grave was opened and the
casket cover removed, when it was
seen that the hands, which had been
tied togethei and placed upon the
bosom, were lying by the side. Sup¬
posing her to he dead, no further
signs of life being visible, they read
justed the hands, closed and lowered
the casket, and covered it. A few
days later friends persuaded the hus¬
band to have the remains examined
again, which he did, and again found
her hands lying by her side, and, al¬
so, her hair dishevelled. .Still there
seemed no signs of life, and the
third time the body was covered in
the grave. By this time the excite¬
ment began to intensify in the com¬
munity until, on the fourth day after
the burial, the body was again ex¬
humed and again the same evidence
of protracted life as formerly were
plainly observed. The body was
taken home, medical aid called, and
restorative agencies applied. The
last account we have of trie case is
that the patient is recovering, and
will probably soon stand before the
world a living example of a person
who has lain four days in the
grave.”
Sharp Practice.
A dentist fiend has been discover¬
ed in Chicago by the name of
MeChcsney ;McChesney dealt large¬
ly in sets of false teeth. These,
however, did not sell as readily as
he wished and in order to secure
more business, he begun preparing
mouths for his false teeth. When a
patient came to him to have a tooth
extracted, he administered chloro¬
form, and before his victim recover¬
ed, had pulled out every tooth in his
mouth. He then offered excuses and
begged to supply the vacancy with
a set of his own make, extremely
cheap. In many cases his offer was
accepted by his unsuspicious patient,
and when it was not, he attempted
to bulldoze money out of him for the
work done. II.* scorns to have car¬
ried matters with too high a hand,
however, for one of his victims
brought suit for damages. It now
comes out that a score of people
were thus outraged, many of them
women who were ashamed of being
ridiculed or laughed at and kept the
matter secret.
