Extraordinary Snperstition-A Corpse
Exhumed.

A case of superstition in this county, has
come to our knowledge, which for Ignorance
and moral turpitude exceeds the darkest
pages of the history Of Robaekism or even
Salem Witchcraft, and is a disgrace to the
boosted intelligence Of the Garden Of the
Keystone State, with her college, acade-
mics, seminaries, common schools and
churches.
On Sunday last, the good people Of g.
phrata and vicinity were startled and shock
ed by the Intelligence that the remains ef a
certain Miss Sophia Bauman, who died
about nine years ago, had been exhumed on
that day by two men hired for the purpose
by the friends of the deceased. Curiosity
was naturally excited and speeulations star
ted as to the cause of such all open deseera-
ton of the ashes Of the dead Gu the quiet of
the Sabbath and upon inquiry Of some of
she relatives, cur correspondent learned
that the young lady alluded to had died of
consumption, and that since her death, two
of her sisters, her mother and two brothers
had died also of the same disease.
In all these cases hereditary faint was
strongly marked, and no doubt was left up
on the minds OF physicians and all sensible
persons az to the cause Of their death but
the opinions of physicians were set aside by
the incursons of ignorance and superstition,
under Which the belief was seriously enter
tanned and acted upon, that by some hocus
pocus, the winding sheet of the corpse had
a mouth, and that by continual suction
(the modes opeyaasai Of which was only
known to the spirits) she hadactuaily drawn
the ether five members OF tie family aftey
her; and shat unless this winding sheet was
speedily removed from the mouth Of the
corpse size would in like manner cause The
premature death Of the whole connection
Incredible as a belief IN such nionstroa9
superstition in this enlightened age may
appear, it is nevertheless true; for accor-
ding to previous arrangements, the hired
resarrectionists commenced operations en-
Sunday morning. The earth was removed
the coffin brought to the surface, and tho
lid removed under the direction Of Il conf
mittee of inspection; but to their astonlsh-
mcnt 70 winding sheet was fpsnd there
the poor dei,,dea creatures having forgotten,
in the zeal OF their superstition that the last
shred of piece of bleaehcd maslin would
rot away long before the expiration of nine
years. With disappointment depicted in
their couutcnances. the committee caused
the remains to be quickly and quietly rein
