Horrible stor;.

The Upton Advertiser, published in Iowa
contains a story apparently 10 imitation If
Poe's "Case of NJ. Valdemer," 1t is contained
in a letter from one DR.. John Moretou, and re-
Iates to the case Of a patient Of his who disa-
greed with his wife, she believed in spiritual
manifestations, while he secuted them. She
died telling him with her last breath, that
on his death bed she would appear to him in
the body. A few weeks after he died, DR..
John Morton being then present, and as he
was gasping his last, a most horrible body,
through whose d~ecaying flesh the white bones
cleaned, and from whose rotten limbs drop
ped loathsome grave worms upon the floor,
entered the room.
This horrible form said, "Come, William!
they wait for you'll wait" and fell on The
floor, where it remained the next day, and the
body of the husband being conveyed away, the
house was burned.
This story is supported by two or three af-
fdavits taken before James Maylor, Notary
Public for Grand Travese county. Michigan.
