A 'TRANCE-BURYING ALIvE.--A paper was
read before the French Academy of Science, in
which the following extraordinary instance was
adduced a reason for aboshing the present
custom of burying soon after death:
A young female had been twice pronounced
dead when only in trance, but had recovered in
both instances in time 10 prevent being buried
alive. a third trance came on, and in consequence
of what had previous y occurred, permission was
Obtained from the constituted authorities for the
body to remain above ground as long as decompO
sItlon should not have taken place. A week--ten
days passed away-there was still no decomposl-
ton but all the medical men declared that she was
dead, and at length she was laid in her cofiin.--
Only few minutes before the coffin 10 be
nailed down, and whio the bell Of the town church
was already tong for her funeral, female from
an adjoining town. who mad been the school fellow
of the supposed defunct, came take a last fare
WELL She stopped to kiss the lips OF her departed
friend. and remaining in that position for some
time, the bys,anders attempted to remove her, lest
her emotion should be Injurious to her. She
waived them Off with her hand, and remained
with her lips upon those Of her friend and brel.
thing, as it turned out afterwards the warm breath
of life into her lungs. At length she cxclaims,
she lives !" and rising from the body pointed out
unequivocal signs of life. She stated that she
was kissing her friend, she tancleG she felt her
breath, and in few minutes was convinced of
the fact. The female taken out of the coffin
and placed in a warm bed, and in the course Of a
W hours fully revived. She stated that she was
