names of the parties sending the same were read' t&

A few of the plans were sent in anonymously.

DANGER. OF PREMATURE INTERMENT. .00 °
morning of Saturday last, a young lad of the
Pendrith joined the juvenile teetotal excursion rdeg
which left Edinburgh tor Hopetoun House. 91°,1 the
was an exceedingly unfavourable one, and marl ro'
youths suffered much from the effects of the rain. ~ty
drith was one of these. On returning with the Pe '40%
the evening, he soon after went to bed, without anY'd
being done to check the effects of a damp skin, 11°,001
the Sabbath morning he was seized with all the allAP;ao
symptoms of cholera. Singularly enough, rev:iclill;
father (who was a blacksmith, we believe, and re" der'
in Greenside), and also his mother, died of cholereeto
ing their son's absence, or immediately after his r,OOll
and were promptly interred. On the Sunda,' eaglel
Pendrith was taken to the Infirmary, and some row the

who made inquiry in the course of the day as to h o
lad was, got for answer, or imagined that theLigse sC:
answer, that he bad died. It is affirmed by t'° 050
quainted with the circumstances, that Pendritbt to gbg
diately after his supposed decease, was conveyed tobel
dead-house, and there the body remained for a %ow
of hours. A coffin having, in due course, been Prehe
Pendrith was on the eve of being quietly deposilfe! Of;
when, lo! he gave indications of still being in lb beet
need scarcely say that the beating of the pulse andc, ems
surprised those in attendance. Restoratives be'eb'ig
ployed, Pendrith gradually recovered, and now ira
far himself again that he expects being out of the
mary in a fr w days.—Edinburgh News. re a
