Baxter, of thin city, formerly surgea of the Second Wisconsin volun- teors, has just returned from Black River Falls with a remarkable story of soeming raising of tho dead. The Doc- tor has n won-in-law living near Black River Fulls, who is also & physician, whom he hus been visiting. The country physician had a patient, a young” lady, who had to all ap peuranco died threo days bifore, She was laid in her coflin, but her ap- | pearance was so life like that he was un- | willing that the funeralshould take place, | The tamily insisted that sho was dead, but o young man to whom she was en | gaged mded with the do tor, and the | terment was postponed even atter the friends and the minister had put in an appearance at the house. Nono could discover any vitality, but still there was | nothing in the appearance of the body | that indicated decay, and the fourth day it was determined to go on with the last solemu oflices to the dead. “The young physician, on Dr. Baxter's arrival, related the umstances to him, with a request that he attended the funeral. I accompanied my friend to the home where the body of the young ady lay,” said Dr. Baxter. “When we reached the house the frionds of the family had already arrived, and the ofticiating minister had gono through a part of the service in the room where tho body lay—a prayer 1 think it was—and the family had teken 1l lust furewell of a bewutiful girl. When I stepped into the room the un dertakerhad the casket lid in his hands ready to serew it down — No soouer did the faco in the casket than I felt sure that lifo was not extinct, e was not the faintest pulse that I could detect, but when I laid my ear close upon her breast I was confident that 1 heard the slightest heart-beat So cer tain was I then that it was a case of cat alepsy that I did not hesitate a moment to apply the proper remedies, “Imagine if you can the sceno when the young lady uttered suddenly a picre- ing scream and rose pin her coffin, 1t was the most awful note of agony that | hope ever to hear. The room was filled with friends besides the family and do- mestics, Several ladies fuinted outright, #some screamed and went inte hysterics, the servants ran out into the yard, and 1 confess that, though 1 expocting to see lier revive, my own norves woro o sha- ken by the suddenness of the occurrence that it was with tho greatest ditliculty | ¢ould stand. Kho then got out of the coffin and down from the table with very little as sistance, By this time the tumult in the room had in a measure sudsided, and she then told us what was the most fearful part of the whole experience: that she had been entirely conscious the entire timo, She had heard all that was said ud knew all that was going on around her, She had felt herself being shrouded and laid in the coffin; had heard her frionds weeping over her be fore the coftin-lid should close over her forever, and thought she would surely be buried alive. Meanwhile, though “she tried her utmost, she was unable to move or u'ter & sound. Her frionds leoked upon her as given back to them from the grave, and, indeed, in the country around, it is reported 1 really did ruise her from the dead, and after T left they told that the country people flocked in crowds to see me."

Al of the papers devoted a great deal of apace to us. The Brook- Iyn engle sent down & man who stayed in camp a week and wrote up the whole thing.” On account of the interesting way in which it is written we reprint part ot the interview with Nelson from the SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN: We go to the Jodge, which is a high and sharp tent of cotton cloth 20 feet in dimeter, supported by poles on the in- side s rafters support roof, admirably culeulated for protection against wind and rain. Upon the outside are a num- ber of rude drawings in bright colored paints. We stoop to enter. and find the mmates to be Nelson's Sioux wife, who is o very dark squaw of about his own age, and several of their children, while upon the other side of the lodge isa younger half trecd woman with two children of her own, these last nearly wiite. Prone upon the ground lays the old wan who bought the pistols. prosses the wish that all soldiers or other ies have coies of diseriptive circulars from agents of this city, or knowledge of any fraudulent transaction on their part should bo sent to him with the fullest information to the end that vach case may be put i shape by special agents for legal protection. Attorney-Gen- oral Browster has promised the earn- est cooperation of the department of justice and all of its officers He says many of the cases of fraud are heartrending. Maimed and decrepit +ol- diers, widows and orplans pay their pit- tance to agents who merely file applica. tions to enable them to collect money from their dsluded clients, 1f the pros ent law is inndequate to prevent such transactions, Congress should provide an efficient remedy. 1t nothing clse were accomplished Dy investigation, it weuld at least warn soldiers and their widows and orphans of their danger and provent their being swindled out of their moncy and it will vindicate honest uts trow unjust accusations, OFFICIAL CHANGES The resignation of Postmaster G, W, Curtis, of Urbana, 11, was reccived at the postoflice department to-day.

Nelson imme- diately seizes this red man by the shoul- ders, jerks him to his feet, and pushes him out, talking pretty vigorously in the frontier idiom meantime, but pausing long enough to courteously invite the visitors to be seated. The Indian shuffies away in Nelson's grasp, WHINING AND MUTTERING, and we sit down on blankets, There is nothing in the tent but bedding, a few dishes and tin cups from which dinner Lns just beon eaten, and a couple of traveling trunks, Neither of the women gives us the slightest notice. The old squ aw is sewing on some bright colored cloth, does not look up, and only speaks occasionally in her ut ly unintelligible language. ~ The children are bright, play about quietly and are neither shy nor obstrusive, but cannot be got to speak. A little fellow of five or wx, with face painted yollow and streaked with 1ed, has o cigar half as long as his wrm, readily comes up to see a lit- tle patent Lighting apparatus, and, when the fire 1 otfered, bites off the end of his prizo like an old stager, puffs until it is well going, and then crawls out to lie on his face aud enjoy a good smoke while WATCIING THE CROWD Pretty soon Nelson comes back tulk and good nature as over, he'd shoot me, that old cus did, G ways ho *1 shoot you!'

This took much of the dash and spirit out of the exhibition That stage coach attracted as much at- tention as anything we had, and we always managed to Gl it with unportant personages when it made its trip around the track and was attacked by Iudians, Pop Whittaker would make his little speech introducing the history of the oonch, that it had been attacked near Deadwood and the paswengers rescued by cowbays, and then away it would go, while the sudience grew wilder and wild- er. At Noewport Isaa: Bell, jr., brother- inlaw of James Gordon Beunett, and Lord Mandeville were passengors, and wo usually had rowds at Coney Island, MAYORS AND CONORESSMEN or something of that sort, who were glad to accopt an invitation to ride in it, The buffalo also attracted much curiosity,and, oh, yes; at Springtield the whole herd broke loose and swam the Connecticut [river over to West Springfield, where they cavorted around in the cabbage | patches sf the innccent natives, much to | their consternation. They were finally | ciptured and driven back,” The Bpring- | lield papers gave usgood notices.

I caa talk Injun just as easy as English; it seoms more natural now. Throw that old hat out, Julie, I went West in 1849, from West Virginny, Started to go to Californy, got to where the Injuns were, stopped there, and been there over inc Had some pretty hard times, Rosy, where's my other k. Oh, here 'tis. Well, I always to see Injuns. Used to read wbout em, same as boys do now in dime aovels, Te'pose, and think when I was a man I'd see an Injun. Didn't wait il )t to be a man though. Ran onto old Spotted Tai, out theve, the first thing, I struck for the biggest tepee 1 see—heap biggern this—and went in. Couldn't understand & word, you know.
