Thecase of aflr. Joseph Wall of West
Roxbnry. who was choked to death last
week by a large piece of meat. which was
dislodged however. before he expired, is
remarkable and inexplicable ; for no sooner
was the meat pulled not. coming with the
force ofa pop-gun. than a current of air
began to circulate between the skin and
flesh. The skin gradually swelled more
and more. the air passing down to the tips
of his fingers and toes. until the man was
swollen to an unnatural and frightful size.
In the midst of this he expired in seeming
anguish and torture. A short time after his
death the swelling began to subside. and in
a day or two :left the body in a perfectly
natural state.

The Boston Transcript quotes the Jour-
nal of Rev. Thomas Smith of Portland. Me.
as recording six remarkably warm winters
during a period of forty years. In 1785
January was pleasant and moderate. and
February was a “summer month." In 1738
January came in like April. In 1749 there
were but two snowvatorms; February was a
Summer month again. and Hutch the same.
In 1701. Jan. 15th.thc frost was entirely out
of the ground; February was like Spring.
and “ the winter ends a wonder through tlie
whole." In January. 1756. the fish. as they
are reported to have done this year. “ struck
in" from the sea. the weather being so
warm; February was delightfulmnd March
blustering. but soft as May. In 1779 Mr.
Smith records a summer day Jan. 27th.
" wonderfully moderate;“ and Feb. 0tli.“no
snow since Dec. Nth—wonderful weather—
we saw two rubbins." Feb. 27th. 1775. the
New; York Gazette and Post-Boy reports
that “last Thursday the weather was so un-
Common warm that many young lads went
into the river to swim." In 1772 the tem-
perature was so high in England that the
trees leaved out in Ja'nuary and the birds
hatched their broods in February. In 1780
the winter was equally mild. and the maid-
ens of Cologne wore wreaths of violets and
corn-flowers at Christmas and .on Twclth
Day. _ In 1421 the trees flowered in March
and the vines in April; cherries ripened in
the latter month and grapes appeared in
hisy. In‘1572 the trees were covered with
leaves in January .and lb: birds hatched
their young in February. as in 1772. In
1585 the same thitu.r was repeated. and it is
added that the cord was in the car at Ear-ton.

POLITICS.
The Democratic State Convention con-
venes in New Haven next Wednesday. and
there seems to behut little doubt that the
present omccrs of the state will be renam-
inated. That this will be the wisest course
theroisno doubt. for the Democrats can
not put forth a stronger man to lead their
cause than Governor Ingersoll, against
whom no charges are made by even his po-
liticalenemiea. The Republicans are cast-
ing about for the strongest man. and the
claims of "locality" will have but little
weight in the selection of their candidate
for governor. The Democrats go into
the campaign with the prestige of victory
and the points of pomeslon in their favor.
and were it not on the threshold of a presi-
dential contest. and only the election of
state encore. they would carry the stale
easily. But the election will have an un—
rmual importance. as a United States Sena-
tor will hschoaen by the legislature to fill
the vacancy canal by the death of nona-
tor Ferry. andan the Third District a Rep-
resentative to an the vacancy can and by the
death of Ir. Starkweathsr.
This condition of things will mrkc the
Republican party put forth its host. warts.
and we think but little will be heard in this
contest about the local caniidttes except
for the legislature. but the campaign will be
upon national issues. The actions of the
Democratic Congress will give the Repub-
Ileana material for such a campaign. while
the rogoery in high places being brought to
light against the Republican may will be
used again‘ it. For the Democrats it
wouldhavabeenbatter bad they not lnsnn
victcrlonalaatyear. and for the Republi-
cans if theycculd have postponed their in—
vestigations till after election.
The financial question premises in figure
prominently in the coming contest. and the
Democratparty is dividtal upon it. The
delegates from New Haven are piulgnl tn

BUBHNG ALIVE.
Every few duys we read the announement
in the newspapers ofthe providential escape
of some person from being hurried alive by
the too hasty action of friends to get their
dead out of the way. If there are so many
escapes it is very reasonable to suppose that
there are fully as many not so fortunate.
In fact there are many instances rcceredcd
where graves have been opened and the
corpse found to have changed its position
after being interred. Of course no one
would knowingly bury a person alive. but
the many instances where persons have
been so buried. or have interfered with the
funeral Just in time toysave themselves.
demonstrates that aufilcieficare is not al-
ways taken to ascertaii if death‘baa taken
place. and that implicit confidence cannot
always be placed in the opinion of the phy-
sicians to that effect.
A few days ago at White Pigeon. led. a
Miss Woods. aged 10. was laid out in grave
clothes and placed in a coffin. ‘ Iler grave
was dug. and a church at White Pigeon was
opened for the purpose of holding funeral
services. The hour came for leaving the
house. and with it came the undertaker with
his screwdriver. He looked at Miss Woods'
face. and thought he saw signs of life dit-
tlng thereon. He thought this so strongly
that he refused to screw down the collu'lid.
It was. however. arranged that .the comb
should be placed open in the hearse. and
that the funeral procession should move to
the church at White Pigeon. so as to loose
no time. and not keep the minister and
grave-diggers waiting. At the church the
coffin was taken into a private room. accom~
pasted by the parents of the girl and two
or three friends. A doctor had been sum-
moned and he name. After a short exami-
nation lt appeared that the four mile joltlng
on the way to the grave had stirred up a
good deal of life in the young lady. it was
very evident she was not ready to bury. The
doctor pronounced her alive. but anthy
could see that. He called it a trance or a
case of suspended animation. The parents
told the preacher to pocket his funeral sen
men. the grave digger to fill up the grave
and the hearse sud codin and undertaker to
go their way rejoicing. while they went
home and gave their daughter n dinner of
her own “ funeral baked meats." At last
accounts the Wood family had not had their
funeral. and the parents and child were do.
lng well.
There should be a means devised to pre-
vent beyond any contingency the burial of
any body until it is dead. The Chinese
have a way of finding this out by running
hot irons into:thc bodies. but whether it is
certain we are not able to say. but the least
that can be done to to wait until there is un-
mistakable evidence. such as decomposition.
and no supposed corpse should be put in the
grave while there is indications of life. for
we have proof in abundance that "suspend-
ed animation " is not necessarily death.

As usual. the oyster supper came off on
stormy nights. Treasurer Chasmars had the
blues and prophesied another failure. One
of the brethren more sanguine said he
thought they would receive at least “00.
“ N 0.“ says Chnsmar. “ I‘ll treat to six plates
of ice cream if we do." “Better make it
too and I‘ll pay for them if we don't." "All
right. now I‘ve set you on that. says Treat.
urer Charmer." After a while tungt look-
ed uncertain about the “00. and the broth—
ers says: “ Let me ed on four of them plates
of cream.“ " No." says the Treasurer. we‘ll
loose sixty cents by that. I'll hold you. I‘ve
got you sure." “ All right. then. do as you
please." It was near the time of adiourn-
ment when Mr. Henry Place mounted the
metrum and stated to the audience that he
had Just received a communication from a
member of the ensurexstlnn.hfr. Charles
Flemming. with‘a dunulou of $50 for the
benefit of the supper. Treasurer Chaamsr
looked up with astonishment at the sudden
turn of affairs. and although he was exceed-
ingly glad. the loss of these ten plates of
ice cream almost made him mad. But the
eating of the cream made it all right. The
receipts of the supper amounted to £133.
