county magistrate residing on the spot, of the state of mind

ference. On the morning of the above-named day a next-
door neighbour saw smoke arising from toe beck of the
house of the deceased. She went immediately to ascertain
from whence the smoke proceeded; she found Miss Parley
lying on her back upon the stones enveloped in flames. A
bucket of water was Immediately thrown over the sufferer,
while the friendly neighbour rushed into the hones from

and Prayer-book on the carpet atootildering ; she extin-
guished the fire. B 7 this time Mr. Wildey, surgeon, bad
arrived. Upon examination it wsa found that Mllll Parley
was much burnt about the body, but not sufficiently so to
cause 'death. Her wounds were dressed, but the assessed

again replaced, end she was put to bed. All seemed going
on well until Wednesday evening, when violent pains came
on, which drew the most fearful shrieks from the unhappy
sufferer until kalf-past 10 o'clock, when she expired. About
one hour before she died the pain subsided, and she Informed

told Me tint if she burned a certain passage In the New Tes-
tament she would see a mired*. Elk* did as commanded,
but the spirit then said she had not mad It enfficiontly, and
