Extracts Prom the Lexington Caucasian and Express
niKS WHILE BEING BAPTIZED.
F- A. Simmons, M. D., writing from
Rocbesler, Mo., to the Caucasian and
Exp re-s under date October 19, 1868, says:
By jour permission I report the following
cae, with :he attending circumstances, as I
learn from second parties who witnessed the
soleLDnictne. Ata baptism on October 18,
on t be Platte river, four miles from this place
the ordinance was administered to several
persons among whom was Mr. Stephens, of
Third Fork. After being immersed, but
whil e still in the river, he wiped bis hands
over his (ace several times to free it of water,
thre-w bead and bands up and fell backwards
in t he waler, wi'ereupon bis friends ran
quic klj in and took him upon the bank, after
which he died without a struggle. The peo
ple not knowing what to do and being
unprepared, there was, I suppose, little done
to rt ciKitste him. After taking bim to the
nearest bouse I was sent for, and two hours
afterward saw the corpse and found his face,
arm ami hanUs cold, but there was consid
erable warmth in the auxillar of arm pits.
I'erc ussion elicited a good resonance over the
chest, except a little dullness in the lower
part ol the right lung. Tho heart was still
and lit was evidently dead, and I made no
efforts to restore life. I learned from bis
friends that be never had convulsions or fits
of aojkind, and that be bad been perfectly
beal t tiv up to this time. After be had been
take in out upon the bank the radical pulse
could be easily felt. In dying there was a
frottay mucus issued from the corners of bis
mouth, but there was no stertor (snoring)
in breathing, or contortion of the facial
musoles.

John Barleycorn. Some time since we
Now what caused the man's deatb? Did
water enter the; bronchial tubes in his efforts
of respiration in sufficient quantities to
destroy life, or would not the spasmodic
closure of the rima glottidis upon the con
tact of the water prevent this to any consid
erable extent? Besides, as remarked, there
was a good chest sound, or resonance, under
percussion, except in the lower part of tbe
right lung. Could apoplexy or epilepy
cause bis deatb? Tbe usual signs of these
were absent stertor and convulsive move
ments of tbe muscles. Or can bis death be
accounted for from tbe physical shock upon
tbe nervous system, causing syncope or
fainting immediately after tbe immersion?
This, taken in connection with the disturbing
influence that the small amount of water be
may bave inhaled or swallowed might have
bad upon his mind and body, is tbe most
plausible explanation that I can give. A
post mortem examination was refused.
stated tbe number of places where liquor
could be obtained at 33. We do no, know
of the abatement of a single one since tbat

Just Thirty-three Years Ago This Week.
Sad Death. Mr. August Broeker, a Ger
man, tobacconist, was found dead in his bed,
at one of our hotels, on Sunday moruing last.
Mr. Broekman was a very intemperate man,
or rather was given to occcasional "sprees, '
as it is called in tbe drunkard's parlance,
and bad been on one of these for several
days prexious to bis sad death, but whether
death ensued from this cause or poison, we
believe is not known. Mr. Coroner Clayton
held an inquest, but so far as we have
learned, nothing was elicited to decide the
point. Many stories arc ull tat as to the
probable cause of the apparent suicide of Mr.
Broeker, some saying it was purely an affair
of the heart, a love matter, and others that it
was the legitimate consequence of in temper
ance. To us, and to most of our people, Mr.
B. was a stranger, having settled here only a
short time ago, from St. Louis, where, in
former time, ho is said .to have been con
cerned in a tobacco store at the coiner of
Third and Vine, opposite the old city hotel.

court bouse square, it would be not probJ
more than will be needed in a few ve
but we could get along at present with
of it. We hope what we have said wi.
thought of.
Waverly Ferry. We are glad to know
tbat tbe loss by accident of tbe Waverly
ferryboat is not so serious as stated by us in
our last. Instead ol tbe ferry being a total
loss, her machinery was taken off, and
finally tbe boat itself was towed to tbe shore,
where she will be repaired in tbe spring.
Another New Saloon. Is to be opened on
Main street, for the accommodation of Mr.
Ku KIux. Eb, Neighbor? The Register
has the rumored bangiog of a negro in Dover
township, the paiticulars of which, the
editor had not beard. We have heard noth
ing of tbe affair.
Tbe same authority hath it that the chivalry
fired into an empty school house, and then
burnt a lot of books belonging to the school.
It may be true. It so, it was quite wrong,
bnt we hear nothing of it from Dover.
The Mails For several days we have hud
no mails from the other side, owing to the
cold weather, the absence of a mail agent,
etc., so that we are without tho latest news.
The Warrensburg mail is now only carried
three times a week, leaving our town in a
sorry condition. We hope these evils will be
righted soon.
New Market.-Jlhc width of the old
market is 40 feet, the distance from the
pavement, southward to tho pavement is 27
feet, and the distance from the pavement
northward is CO leet, or 127 feel in all, or

The laughing comedy, "Shooting
the Chutes," which comes to the
New Grand opera house tonight,
has Just closed an extremely suc
cessful series of performances in
New York, Philadelphia, Boston and
Chicago, where they not only attract
cd large audiences and aroused the
utmost enthusiasm, but made the
most favorable Impression on all the
critics. In many respects ttie oruan
Ization Is pronounced superior to all
oilier styles and classes of farce
comedy programmes presented and
has .awakened new Interest In this
style of comedy, and shows that at
least there Is something fresh arid
novel with which to please and en
tertain the public.
