| Extraordinary Aiistoke.--An. iadustri-
Gus poor man, named M'Dride, living in
Kenvin-street, whose wife had been for
some time confined in fever hospital,
received a notification from The hospital
on Saturday that his wife had been jus,
dead, and requiring him to send coffin
to have the body removed. The poor
husband, anxious to testify his respect
for the memory of his deceased wife,
by providing for the interment of her
remains in the most decent style pCssi-
BILE, taxed his slender means TO the ut
most for that purpose, and repaired TO
the hospital with an oak coffin, which
was received from him at the gate, ac-
cording 10 custom, and shortly after
wards returned, containing the body,
and having the lid fastened down. The
husband and friends accompanied him,
had the corps conveyed 10 the Cabbaee
Gardens, Kenvin-street, and there in
tered. However, an hour had scarce
| ly elapsed after his return from the fu-
neral, when, sitting alone in his house,
he was startled by the sound of a well
known voice at the door, desiring admis-
sion. Ou opening the door, he almost
sunk TO the earth, on beholdiog what be
conceived 10 be the appari.ion Of his
departed wife, but which was in sub
stance and reality herself, returned hale
and recovered from the hospital. The
mistake-for mistake ii was, was now
