Excitement at Frederlek-..singuIar Case.

There has been considerable excitement
at Frederick, Md, in regard to the sudden
death of son of Mr. George \. Cole.
A correspondent Of the Uagersiown Mail
says:
" After being kept for the pei iod Of four days,
he was placed in MIR Hart's vault, in the Lu-
theran grave yard with the lid Of his coffin open,
as there was very serious doubts whether or not
he was in a trance. His disease, the Doctors
say, was the Erysipelas, the only indication Of
which was a small pimple on his lip, causing
much swelling, and OF which, 10 the short space
Of three days, he died.
Many persons have daily visited his remains,
and al express their doubts. Though in this
state for more than two weeks, his checks are
as ROSY and fresh as when in good heath-his
lips, at first some what blue, now have very
natural and life-like color, and bis limbs are as
plant as ever not having the rigidity of death
al all-his eyes not all sunken, but natural as
when in robust health. There IS not, as yet,
the least appearance Of decay and no offensive
smell His parents visit him daily, TO ascertain
if any change has taken place, either for better
or worse Though Doctors say he IS dead, many
persons in the community doubt II. Doctors
are not infaliible. He was fifteen or sixteen
years of age, fine looking and intelligent. On
SUNDAY he was IN excellent health, enjoying
himself with his comprehension Wednesday
night he vas declared II corpse. Such IS ME
