THE basket social and entertainment

in the Fredericton Hall. on the evening of the 28th ult., was a decided success in every respect. Nozwithstanding the unfavorable weather, the hall was filled with an atttentive and appreciative au- dience. Mr. Joseph E Bagnall ably presided. and Miss Edith E Weeks, acted in the capacity of organist in a most p`easing and graceful manner. The program which consisted of vocal and instrumental music, readings, reci- tations and dialogues was rendered in good style. It might be unfair to par- ticnlarize, but special mention may be made ofthe solos by Mr. Robert Hill and Miss Edith E. Weeks; also the re- citaiions by Mr. Major Whitehead and Mrs. J. W. McLennan, which were most heartily received and also the song by Mr. Geo. Yeo. which called for an eu- corc. The dialogue entitled the “Quack Doctor” by Messrs. Albert Leslie and Harry Weeks brought down the house with loud applause. After the program was finished Mr. D. E. Campbell auc- t oned offthe baskets in a most efficient manner. The bidding was lively and the snug sum of $36 was realized.

Miss MCMILLAN wishes toinforin her

pupils that she has returned to the city, and is prepared to resume work.

John Clark Spent 48 Hour: Under Six Feet 0fGround_ W h' D " - h I

ic ite, Kan., ec. 21. Jo n C ark,

U an aged Union soldier, who has been

V

spending his list days at the Soldiers’ Home in Dodge City, was literally re surrected from the dead last Friday Clark, who was a prosperous man of business before the civil war, joined the Union army as a private in a western regiment and fouvlit throughout the campaign. He bore many scars as, proofs of his bravery in the field ' and at the battle of the Wilderness he was picked up for d fad. To hisftriends yesterday he _ leclily said with ti wan Smile that the 1 present was really his second reeurrec tion. But this was the tirst time he had ever been buried. He spent 48 hours. from Wednesday until Friday noon, six feet underground in the Soldiers’ Come te' t D dir Cii.

ry a 0 ge y Clark would have remained buried

and would have suffered the horrible death of suffocation had it not been for the persistent urvings of William Hazen, an old friend, who knew Clark in his palmy days. Hazen was at the Soldiers’ Home ast Thursday when C :irk apparently died, after an illness of typhoid fever. llazen wasin the room He tieardtlie verdict that his ofil friend was dead. but somehow was not satis- fied. Rigor mortis did not set io at ilie expiration of 2-L hours, and Huzeu was iiiore iliziii ever convinced that Clark _still lived. llc said soto the :iutliorites of tlie lloiiie. and urged dclav. but they smiled i-_-.clnlgc~:it_ly on him and pr) -e id- l't‘tl ~f ti`itlb'l

coiiin ot' the piziiiiest and eiicnpcst des- cripiion, was buried in the ccmeterv, wizii a wooden moss at the head of the grave bearing his name and age- 70 year.-i.

himself, he lied oven touched the face of his friend and had almost imigiued he could discover warmth there.

When all the others had left the ceme-

tery Hazen rcmaincd there, looking at the fresh mound, and he felt temp el to get a -spade and reop en the grave at once Haz en couldn-’t _s'_`l5`e"}5`i"'1.'_l.lfg1.'»"1‘i‘l|"|°,ll,"hl,,' His mind was busy with thouglitsot his jriend, and the more he pondered the more he was convinced that Private John Clark had been consigned to a. horrible fa'°. _Early on ty morning he again

sought the 1 .tnorities ot the Soldiers’ Home, and besought them to reopen the grave. His request was refused.Undaun- ted, Hazen sought the health authori- ties of the city, and stated his case there They looked up the death certificate and noting the signature of the physician were satisfied. Then Hazen sought tie ceme‘er_v authorities but they wi ul I not consent to open the grave wi hout a permit from the health department.This the indefatigable Hazen could not obtain before Friday forenoon. Then he lost no time in hastening to the cemetery with assistance and a physician to re- open the grave. When the coffin lid was removed, to the astonishment of the heholders it was found that Clark had literaly turned over. His heart was still beating. and stimulants soon re- stored him consciousness. Clark was removed at once to a nearby house and put io bed, but he was too W ak to talk until yesterday. Then he told those around him that he was semi-conscious of all that was going on when he was buried, but was unable to cry out or uttera sound. '
