The following , clipped from the Burlington Junction , ( Mo. , ) Post , contains information of no little value to persons troubled with indi gestion : For years the editor of the Post has been subject to cramp colic or fits of indigestion , that prostrated him for several hours and un- fiticd him for business for two or three days af erward. About a year ago we called on 5. J. Butcher , dniggist , and asKed for something to ward off an attack that was already making life hideous. Mr. Butcher handed us a bottle of Chamberlain's Cholic , Cholera and Diar rhoea remedy. We took the medicine accord ing to directions , and not only found relief on that occasion , but have several times since tried its virtues and found relief in every in stance. We take this method of acknowledg ing the benefits derived and recpmmending the cure to all others subject to indigestion. For sale by Geo. M. Chenery. LUCKY NUMBERS.

Jn another column of this paper will be found an advertisement of a medicine known as Chamberlain's Colic , Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for sale by druggist Geo. M. Chenery of this place. In almost every neighborhood throughout the west , there are some one or more persons whose lives have been saved by this remedy. It is natural for such persons to take especial pleasure in recommending the remedy to others. The praise that follows its introduction and use makes it immensely pop ular. While it is intended especially for colic , cholera morbus , dysentery and diarrhoea , it is also claimed to cure chronic diarrhoea. If such be the case , it is certainly a "Godsend" to many a poor mortal. Hints by Harrison.

There used to exist a grout rivalry between Captains of steamboats ply ing on our larger rivers. To outspeod one another they wouUl recklessly put more steam upon the capacity of their engines than they possibly could stand and in consequence the boilers fre quently burst and the boats were wrecked. I was employed for a number of years on a boat , which had u. boiler explosion in such a race. by. which six persons lost their lives. After the damage was repaired and the six vic tims buried we made the necessary preparation to resume our voyage. Some carpenter-work remained to be done , but the ' . uptuin thought that could be finished wh le the boat was running. We had worked very hard for two days , and the last afternoon was allowed us for recreation , for early ne t morning the anchor would be heaved. So we went ashore. When I returned to the boat the night was bitter < old and very stormy. In tfad of stal.oin.i2T a watt-'iman on deck , the boat-wu , n locked every thing and retired to his cabin. Only the engine-room was open , and the boards and planks which were de molished by the plosion had not , been replaced. The floor was wet , and no place could b3 found on deck as a shelter against the increasing storm. I concluded to leave the interior of the boat and sleep in open air instead of baing expose.l to the feur'.U draft I felt in ths < l..rk with my hands along the engine ; , 'o find a way out , when ray foot u.'i.fst ! on a cover ly ing near. I slum ml and fell with my arms in the o.i opening on the lower end of ti.u boiler through which a man might crawl for repairs , and which , when the boiler is used , is closed with a heavy iron cap. fattened with a weighty clamp-iron , making the boiler air-tight In this opening the blacksmith had gone the daj' before to r a r the boiler. When into falling > open- ins I knocked my head : - the hen not nut < > the c. ept and I bly if thi * eotir.li h : 11jjun a little softer. Bv.t for : -il that i slept , and slept well.

As 1 < t o not fear that they would close : h - opening without my hearing the ad .1 ; ing of the heavy iron cover , I gra'i ly drew back to the other and w.ierend of the boilor. Here I fell aleep. . all the sounder , as the shock against my head had stunned me. me.My awaking was horrible. I heard divers sounds , by which I concluded that day was approaching , though all around me was impenetrable darkness. The fearful thought struck me that during my sleep the opening of the boiler might have been closed. I crept towards it A chill went to my heart. All was dark , closed , impene trable , within the great coffin around me , without the least opening to ad mit air and light Terror deprived me of consciousness. Moaning , dropped down. How long I lay 1 do not recollect But the physician told me later that it must have been more apoplexy than faintness. While 1 lay there a sensation crept over me as if my feet were lying in water. It rose higher and higher. It already reached toward my knees , and it made me feel uncommonly chilly. The chilliness increased. An indescribable sen atiou crept over me , as more and more the water covered my body. At hI rising slowly , it reached my head : stid finally my mouth. 1 heard the iv.-.uar motion of the pump. pim ing uiler into the boiler. \Vilh ! ' ror 1 tarted up.

I yelle.i ; . , in and again in my fear so that tii."alls of ray iron coffin sbook. But tae regular pulses of the pump gave answer as if in mockery. I gave up all hope at last and be came tranquil. The though ! of my death , and in such a horrible way. had now nothing terrible to me. It was nothing new that man had to die such a death. Thousands are often caught in such small spaces of a ship , have sunk to the bottom of the sea , have in despair beaten against the too-well closed hatches and been drowned. Why should I not also die in this way ? But after I had accustomed myself to the thought , another came to me. felt the water becoming hot I heard the crackling of the fire , which had to change the water into steam , before it could rise high enough to drown me. I shuddered. My fearful aitua tlon overpowered mo again. Feebly 1 funk back upon the floor of the boiler. But roj full consciousness returned again. As I was too hoarse to shout very loud I beat against the wall louder and louder with increasing orce and with a strength which only de pnir ould Impart There were men close by who ought to hear my knocking. Could 1 not hear iho shu 'ing of their feet the dull falling of the wood ? Could I not hear even the laughing of the liroimm. who was only a few inches from my tomb. But the singing of the water which surroundedmy knees made in the steaming boiler more noise than my weak knocking against the iron wall. wall.Then Then suddenly I stopped upon u raovcablo object , for the increasing heat forced mo to keep my feet in motion. Mechanically 1 reached out and touched a heavy hammer that the blacksmith had accidentally left there. With what delgM I took this tool ! Witn what renewed hope I beat against the iron walls of my living grave. But oh. horror ! I had s-carcely listened for a moment when 1 heard the clinking of the iron doots. which the fireman opened. I per ceived how the ( ire which was about to torture me to death would be fed with a now supply of fuel. Suddenly new hope sprang up in my honrt There was no choice. I mixht have been saved if I had found the hammer even a few minutes sooner. Now I had to take the last means left to mo. which might save mo or might causa mo u death still more horrible. I recollected that I had a chisel in Imt. nn1 in Insa time than it \voam nave uccl'i sluppeu in a few minutes had I not put mv finger in tlie hole.
