Premature BURIALs.--The New York Mir.
ror has the following
"a poor man, residing in the upper part of
the city, left home at the usual hour, some
days since, to perform his daily labor; and,
on returning in the afternoon, found that his
wife had been seized with cholera during
the forenoon, and conveyed 10 the hospital in
Thirteenth st. He Immediately went there,
and as he entered the place, six coihns were
carried out, TO be conveyed to Poiter,s Field.
The poor fellow proceeded 10 the room and
inquired for his wife, when he was informed
that she was dead, and that one of the cctfins
he had passed contained her body, bnt which
of them they could not tell as no marks are
placed upon them to distinguish one from the
other. The man, in an agony of grief, started
in pursuit of the conveyance, and accompanied
it to Po,ter,s Field, when he pleaded so hard
to be permitted TO look once mole upon the
face Of his wife, that permission was given,
ard the collins were opened. When the
body of the woman was exposed, he seized it
franticaly in his arms and pressed it fondly
to his bosom. For moment he fancied he
fel, the beating of her heart, and, seizing her
wrist, he exclaimed, "My God, she lives
At that moment the woman opened her eyes
and recognised her husband; she was convey
ed home, and is now quite recovered"
