| Show wwlma extraordinary CASE OF suspended ANIMATION il the newcastle england chronicle says says 41 A most remarkable case calef of suspended animation has occurred in newcastle one night a boy named batey about twelve years of age went to bed after partaking rather heartily of some rhubarb tart next morning about six he awoke in great pain and his father used some simp simple simpie I 1 e remedies to remove the pain but his efforts were of no avail and shortly afterwards the boy apparently died preparations were made for the funeral and the father went to the register office to obtain a certificate for the burial but this the registrar refused to do as no medical gentleman had seen the lad while he was ill and there ther ewas was nothing to show what had been the cause of death the father was recommended to go to the coroner and see if an inquest sf be held and thither he proceeded mr hoyle after hearing the particulars tic ulars of the death ordered a post mortem examination to be made and mr W S rayne surgeon was sent for next morning mr rayne was however out of town and as the case was represented to be urgent the body would not keep this hot weather mr bush mr mr raynes assistant got dr ca carnito to undertake the duty of ascertaining nga flie the tee cause cause of death dr carr and mr eash bush with their implements of dissection and accompanied by the father of the deceased I 1 proc proe proceeded eded two days after the lad had died to the house of mourning where had been left the body of the deceased lad with all the symbols of grief around it but conceive the astonishment of the father when he beheld his son who had been dead as he thought two days standing in the doorway as if nothing had happened there was nothing ghastly about him he did not appear like one who had visited the other world nor like one risen from the dead but he stood with the utmost unconcern and with every sign of health and life about him the astonished parent could scarcely believe his eyes and the doctors almost began to think that they were hoaxed the lad however told his own tale he knew nothing about his narrow escape from being buried alive all he knew was that he had been asleep and on awakening as he found no one in the house his father was looking for the doctors and his mother was out probably making the arrangements for the funeral he got up and feeling very hungry looked about for something to eat finding some eggs he cooked them after which he beni beni out in happy ignorance of his narrow escape from the grave and the surgeons knife mr bush told the lad it was a good thing that he had come to life when he did if he had been but half an hour later he would probably have been killed in the attempt to ascertain why he had ceased to exist A STRANGE STORM IN CHICAGO The Chicago papers give interesting accounts of what they as well as we call a strange storm july 1 revealing peculiar natural phenomena and dampening in the doft goft joy atthe at the great sanitary fair eair ag on n the north h and south division street cars all was wild excitement the ele eie electric electrio etrio fluid took to the rails and ran up and down the track regardless of stations and far ahead of time conductors became frantic passengers looked de sparingly around for an avenue of escape without the crowded aars oars poured the descending river on the raif taif ran nin the element they dreaded so much more the scene became exciting citi big fig 1 some rushed from the cars into the street and were drenched to the skin ina ins moment others more reckless of consequences watched the z zigzag igea 9 play upon the rails the philosophically inclined were in their elements the practical people who saw no beauty in the threatening lightning had left the cars and were enjoying free baths in the streets locomotion was an impossibility i the horses would not go the lightning playing ahead of t them em on the rails was a novelty which they preferred to stand still and watch many persons have expressed the opinion that the rails of the north and east division railroads were greatly injured by the fiery element which embraced them during the shower when the storm cameon people had just begun to flock into the fair floral halina hall hali was well swell nil fil filled ledwith with promenades aders when the rain commenced through every crack and seam ran the blackened water falling upon white frocks and dl dainty n ty bonnets it would not wash off for th the e tar of the roof was an ingredient of the dirty dregs A general rush was made for union hall which fortunately proved a little more watertight water tight the gas in ill floral hall ceased to burn in many of the fixtures the storm returned to the attack at eleven the thunder was terrific the lightning intensely vivid at times the whole city was aglow with light then would follow the deafening report of thunder in this attack the elements did more damage than durin during 0 the first shower the street streetcars t cars stopped stopped running so that the course of the lightning ight ning upon the rails was uninterrupted with the telegraphic wires the t e lightning played strange freaks the apparatus at the armory police station was demolished by the electric current at the court house station the operators were treated to a strange reception and permitted to witness some wonderful phenomena the numerous wires reach reaching inc into the cupola were so in many any guides or yr tracks by which the lightning liht in essayed to enter it but the beautiful 13 little ii t tle tie mechanical invention called the is lightning Ight ning arrester small and insignificant n ant as it appears arrested the fluid in its ra rapid id gourse bourse course and hurled it back upon t the hp e wires with the most rapid concussions in this manner mann er the operators spent the night THE tue grasshopper PLAGUE IN MINNESOTA the grasshopper ras shopper scourge in the counties of of renville ren Een ville brown blue earth nicollet le sueur ani and and scott this season in numbers and des true truc equals anything ever known in almost any part of the civilized world the locusts of egypt were nothing to compare with them in many localities thus far their ravages have been confined chiefly to the prairies but they have recently commenced flying and alighting in the timber known as the big woods W and there is every probability that that they tu y will pass through and beyond it and sweep the southwestern part of the state although they have been the most destructive heretofore in the counties of renville brown sibley and the western part of nicollet there are only onla too strong grounds for believing that in iii the six counties named there will not be an average of more than one half the crops left to harvest and there will hardly bo be enough vegetables left for seed corn has epen leen been less injured thus i far than any other crop and wheat has suffered most on saturday last they commenced flying over st peter and vicinity about 10 or 11 and in a few hours the air was a dense mass of them flying in a southerly course when they began to drop down the sight resembled that of a heavy storm of large snow flakes and in less time than we occupy in writing this the earth in st peter kasota and several miles around was a living carpet of grasshoppers those who have gardens taxed t their air ingenuity to the utmost some building large fires to smoke them away others atte attempting t I 1 to drive them out brush still others throwing water on the smaller vegetables but wherever the plague tarried a few moments the destruction was complete cabbage and onions were a favorite dish which fact will essentially lessen not only the indispensable of german tables but the wholesome variety of well regulated 0 american and celtic dinners toward evening the sight was awful houses and fences and every emery every shrub and brush in gardens and on the prairie wore a sombre hue all were covered with grasshoppers so thick that many persons had to keep their houses closed until dark in hende henderson there is hardly a plant or weed left and the naked lots tell a sorrowful tale of the desolation of the plague currant bushes and young fruit trees and shrubbery of every kind have not only been stripped of foliage but of bark also one on man attempted a little strategy by planting a few tomatoes in a bunch of weeds that had not been destroyed but his work was hardly left when the little pests made a clean sweep he then set a box of plants on a house roof which up to the time of their flying was safe another family had kept a box of tomato plants in their house until they attained a good size but one of the doors having been left open ten minutes the destroyers invaded the sacred apartment and left nothing but the box and earth st paul Pig pioneer noer neer july ath PERMANENT MILITARY DIVISIONS the war department has

of abandoned and lawless men now we learn that the people of columbia have been subjected to the like terrible visitation the description crip tion is most piteous reminding one of that plaintive appeal entitled I 1 the groans of the britons 11 which the unhappy people addressed to the roman general when the barbarians were driving them into the sea it appears that the mob begun with attacks upon the public stores then private v ate stables were sacked then the supplies gathered at the depots for the suffering and starving poor of the city were carried off then the wagons which conveyed
