A German advanced in years, named Franz Vcstcr, at present a resident of Newark, recently obtained a patent for a safety coffin, designed so as to provide a way of escape to those who might be buried during suspended animation, as is supposed may on occasions happen, particularly during the prevalence. of epidimics. This invention consists of a coffin constructed similar to those now in use, except that it is a little higher, to allow of the free movement of the body the top lid is moveable from head to breast, and in case of interment is left opeu, with a spring attached lor closing the same; under the head is a receptacle lor refreshments and restoratives. The most important part of the invention is a box about two feet square, resembling very much a chimney, with a cover and ornamental gravework on the top.

This box is of sufficient length to extend from the head of the coffin to about one loot above ground. The cover is fastened down by a catch 011 the inside, and cannot be unfastened from the outside. Just below the cover is a bell similar to those used on street railways" cars, with a cord appended, which, upon being pulled, sounds an alarm, and at the same time a spring "throws the cover from the ''chimney box." Thou, if the- person on the inside has sufficient strength, he or she can take hold of a rope suspended from near the top of the chimney box, and, with the assistance of elects nailed to the sides, ascend to the outer world or otherwise the individual can rest at ease, munch his lunch, drink the wine, and ring the bell for the sexton to come and assist him out. Yesterday afternoon Mr. gave an exhibition of the working of this invention by being buried, and, alter more than an hour's interment, resurrecting himself.

The exhibition took place at Baire's Brewery Garden, on Springfield avenue, Newark, and although fifty cents admission was charged, some six hundred people were assembled to witness the novel exhibition. About 3 P. M. the grave diggers excavated a hole six feet deep; a black coffin with silver trimmings was placed upon two supports over it. A circle was made with a rope, around which assembled an excited crowd of men, womart y-? il AluMfAn tp 11 a oml ij.it, M) auu buiiuiwu) i iv.

v. 1 jr viuv," auu elevated position was occupied by spectators. When everything was prepared, Mr. Franz Vester came forward and took his position in the coffin, the lid of which was placed over him, at which time he was greeted with many an anxious and jocular The coffin was lowered to the bottom of the grave. Meanwhile the band played a dirge, and the crowd made comments and drank lager, which was handed around by the several waiters.

The "chimney box" was then set down over which some wreaths of flowers had been strewn. The grave-diggers set to work with a will, and in fifteen minutes Mr. Vester was effectually buried, with at least four feet of earth between him and daylight. After the lapse of an hour and a quarter, a gentleman stated that Mr. Vester was to remain down below for two hours, but chat some of the spectators were anxious to return home, and consequently, if agreeable, Mr.

Vester would appear at once, or remain the specified time. All present being satisfied, a signal was given, and a minute after Mr. Vester, unaided, stepped out of his living grave, with no more perceptible exhaustion than would have been caused by walking two or three blocks under the hot sun. His exit was received with great enthusiasm and applause, and hundreds rushed to embrace and congratulate Mr. Vester upon the success of this most novel invention.

It is stated that Mr. Vester will give a simi, lar exhibition in New York in a few lr. Times. A Man Attacked by resiidents of a block in Milwaukee being annoyed by the martins which bad built their nests under the eaves of the building, Mr. Desforges I went upon the roof armed with a broom to dispossesse the feathered nuisance.

At his first movement the birds gave token of a determination to defend their homes. Mr. D. for a few seconds was considerably amused at the actions of the little birds, and watched them with some i a li CfTTiinrr in kva a IMLLICSI. JL LI LULL ULOnUllg JU13 U1UU1U about among them-, when instead of being intimidated they more boldly gathered about and uttered their notes until the sound was pecked away as if they would tear Mr.

D. to pieces. He began to think the affair was getting a little warmer than he hadcounted upon, and he started for the sky-light. His first movement exasperated the martins, and they renewed their efforts. They gathered in dense numbers before Mr.

D. and fought every inch of the ground. Their thrusts were not serious, for by an effort Mr. D. kept them out of his face, and let them pick away at his i clothing, which they could not pierce.

Twice Mr. D. vas thrown down 011 the flat roof, and each time the martins, fairly crazy, made their courts with renewed energy and determination, and finally Mr. was compelled to lay down on his body, and by the aid of his hands to crawl along to the skylight. This new tactic i nonplnssed the martins, but did not drive them off the field.

Mr. 1). finally succeeded in get- 1 ting beneath the roof, while the martins 1 iauuui me uiju micii'u tuuir sunn notes of defiance. A Late the 22J ot July were committed to the earth in Harpurtbey ric tery, the remains of Miss JBecswick, removed A irom the Peter Museum. There is a tradition that this lady, who is supposed to have died about one hundred years ago, had acquired so strong a fear of' being buried that she left certain property to her medical attendants so long, so the story runs, as she could be kept above ground.

The doctor seemed to have embalmed the body with tar, and then swathed it with a strong bandage, leaving the face exposed, and to have kept "her" out of the grave as long as he could. For many years past the mummy has been lodged in the room of the Manchester Natural History Society, where it lias been an object of much popular interest. It seems that the Commissioners, who are charged with the re arrangement of the Society's collections, have deemed this specimen undesirable, and have at last buried it. gALEX SPECIASi NOTICES.
