We often hear the phrase, “ I shall ilic alaughiug.” The South Bond (Indiana) Jte/ister tells of the following actual ease : At Bremen, last Saturday, Mr, Kewsbaum, while taking a lot of miscellaneous articles from his waggo-i, caught hold of a green cowhide and jerked it from the vehicle in such a manner as to excite the risibilities of the bystanders. Among the number was a man named Jacob Methuselah, who laughed so heartily and continucdly as to attract the attention of his companions, and soon they saw that he I egan to spit bloo 1 most profusely. In a few minutes the blood issued from his mouth in such quantites as to alarm his companions, and he was then taken into the house, where efforts were made to stop the flow of blood ; but the man’s time had come, and in fifteen minutes from the time he began bleeding he was a corpse. The doctor decided that it was a case of bemorrageof the lungs. Mr. Methuselah was an apparently healthy man, and his death is cited as one ot the strangest that has ever occurred in this vicinity.
