BURIED ALIVE.

About a month ago diphtheria' appeared in the home of a prominent family at Madison, Wisconsin. A young domestic was terribly frightened. A young child died of the dread disease, and this,, with- the horror of disease, caused the girl to take to her bed. She apparently died in a few hours, and was at once buried by the authorities. A few days ago her parents obtained permission to remove the body to the country, and upon opening the grave they were horrified to discover the body lying on its face, the hair wrenched from the head and the flesh literally torn from her face and hands. Frasciielo, the Spanish torero, has retired, with a fortune estimated at 1600,000. Although ranking among the greatest he was freely oritioised by many great experts for being unusually liable to accident*.
