A great many applications have been
made for copies Of our paper containing the
interesting facts in the case Of the little
Hangley girl who returned 10 life after she
had died with cholera. Our edition con-
tanning that account was very ooon disposed
Of, and in order to supply the demand and
for the purpose Of stating some further facts
in the case we now republish the article.
AN INTERESTING INCIDENT.
An incident of the cholera occurred in
this city few days sihce, which for several
reasons we think worth recording. Among
the households which had been entered and
stricken by the fatal disease was that of Mr..
Hangley, worthy lrishman, who has long
been employed by the Commissioner of
streets. His wife, a warm hearted motherly
woman, devotedy attached to her children,
and selfsacrficng to promote their welfare
and happiness. was taken with the cholera
and died and was buried on Thursday Sept.
Goth. Mex, lovely little daughter, seven
years OF age, was taken sick, and she too
died, and her body laid out and her limbs
adjusted in the embrace Of the king Of ter
rors. The father applied to Alderman
Wingate for a coffin, bu, from some cause it
could not be had Immediately, and its de-
livery was postponed for an hour or two;
during this time Mr.. Hangley returned
home when the supposed dead child sttetch'
cd forth her arms, with the exclamation,
"Oh, father! have been to heaven, and il
is beautiful place"
After tire surprise and the excitement Of
the e RI ha subsided, she gave relation Of
what she had seen, as she expressed it, 4" in
heaven"
She saw her mother in heaven, and she
was taking care OF little children, many of
whom she called by name, and among them
she said wero four children of Uncle Hang
loy's and three children Of Uncle Casey's.
Aun, Lynch is not there ow, but she
will be tomorrow and on Sunday shall
60 back again"
But said an older sister, that canno,
be so, dearest. for there are bu, two of Un-
Gle Cssey's children dead!'
Yes, saw three Of them in heaven, and
dear mother was taking care Of them. All
were dressed in white, and all were very
happy and the children were playing. Oh
it was beautiful there and shalI go there
again mex, Sunday afternoon at four o.
clock
MIR. Hangley Immediately informed Mr..
Wingate that his child was not dead; when
he, in company with DR.. Morrison, visited
the house, and the little girl related sub
stantially The same story. Ii seems, too
that shortly after the relation Of the little
girl, Of what she had seen and heard in
heaven, a message came from Mr.. Casey in
Carmel, giving inform alton Of the death Of
another child and inviting them to attend
the funeral.
OF the four fchidren of her uncle Hang.
ley, two died in this city, and two were
drowned on their passage from Ireland.
We called on Saturday TO see and talk
with this lltile girl, but she was very feeble,
and jus, then in drowse,a and we would moi
allow her to be disturbed. She is said to
have very thoughtful and serious coun,e-
nance, and to be very Interesting child
She had no wish to live, but preferred re-
urning to her mother. The father and the
sisters are seriously, but very happily im-
pressed with the relations Of this sweet
child, and joyfuly believe the story she
tells. Their house i, a pattern Of neatness,
and they all possess hearts overfowing with
affection. and are sincerely happy on ac-
count Of their heavenly messenger.
Il was sorry said Mr.. ii. to DR.. Morri-
son, in the honest, truthful simplicity Of his
heart, when my good wife died. but lm
not now, and Only wish to bs with her. =
The elder sisters, too, hive now IN joyful
hOpU Of meeting at length, and they care
not how soon, II it be Gods time their dear
mother, in heaven, where she has been seen
by their angle sist er, who has been permit.
ted to return to the earth, and make the
fact known to them.
Since tho above was published there have
been great many inquiries respecting this
little girl, some Of which we will new an.
swcr.
Although q, the time of the seeming
death OF this child II was not supposed hat
her aunt Lynch was dangerously III she not
having the cholera but attacked with dy-
sentery. But she died the next day as
stated. o.
On Sunday afternoon Mr. Daniel War
