An incident of an extraordinary nature,and which k
on various gown's deserves publicity, occurred in
this 'City on the night of Sunday last. The wife of
a Shoemaker, who had been- ill, was supposed to
be dead, and her friends went through all the;
formalities usual upon such occasions. The hus-
band procured money from his employer to defray
the expenses of the wake ; but yesterday morn-
ing,as the latter was about to give orders for a
coffin; he received information, that the woman
bad recovered, .and was alive ! There is somet
thing extremely revolting, not to say criminal, in.
considering death as certain, before some un-
equivocal symptoms of extinguished life shall have:
made their appearance. We do not hesitate to
express our conviction, that many have thus been 406,
left to perish, who might have been preserve:l
life and to society. The,practice (.t nasty intcr-
nient, in some cases •ahnost belotc the holy is
cold, is not less to be reproved and curidemift4:.
No imagination can conceive the horror; of
awakening in the grave, and yet there. is under+
able evidence, that such things have Bern. :Let a
both practices be immediately and lqr ever aban- • 'I!".
doned.—Tliey are wholly unneeev4ry, and thostr
who pursue them cannot acquit themselves before
their consciences and their obligation. Let all
persons suppose themselves to he tobmed, by the
precipitation of friends.to the situations:we have ;
noticed, and it may be concluded, that there is.
not a single being who will not here;,,,rter guar.;
ag!dnit .So dreadfid a destiny.--(dl aterj&-d Chro.-0
