The Dead Alive.

English papers give accounts Of u singular res
tornton to life Of young girl. The following par
ticulars of this remarkable affair are published by
the Birmingham Post:
Tho girl whose name is Amelia links is 10 or
l3 years Of age. and resided with her parents in
Bridge street, Nuneaton and dwindling away I'M
der nome unaccountable complaint about three
weeks ago she. 1t her friends imagined, died.
The corpse was then removed to another ROOM
The body was rigid and icy cold. 1t was washed
and laid out with tho usual deathly accompani-
ments, penny-pieces being placed over the eyes,
and the coffin WAS ordered.
For more than AZ hours the supposed corpse
lay beneath the winding. sheet, when it happened
that her grand father, n very aged man, came from
bennington to the neighborhood of Nuneaton. On
going with a female relative to tho corpse the
old man removed one of the copper coins. and al
though tho eye remained closed he fnncied he saw
a movement beneath the lid The woman with
him ut first ridicued the idea. but on looking more
closely abe tor observed ~ movement. The medi-
cal attendant was then apprized Of the crcu
and, although he ut first treated the matter as n
deluson, the application of an instrument to that
region Of the heart soon convinced him that the
was life within the apparent corpse.
The body was then removed to u warmer room,
and the existence OF life soon became apparent
by degrees animation was restored, u loud sncexe
placing the fact Of her being living subject be-
yond all doubt. When speech was restored, the
g'rl described everything that had taken place
from the time Of her supposed death. She knew
who closed her eyes and placed the coppers there
on. She also heard the order given for her coffin.
aud could describe the various remarks made over
her as she lay in her denth-cothes.
~ first, on her restoration, she refused all sus-
tenancc, and ON some aliment being forced upon
her she became frighhnlly excited, and, though in
state of extreme debility, it required great force
to hold her. Since that period her conduct has
h'cn yer3 strange. She enertains wish TO des
troy her father and mother; and on one occasion.
when they were asleep in the same room with
herself, she from her bed in the dead of the
night, went down stairs for light and having
first destroyed by burning, some ncedlework
which she knew her mother :" set great store"
upon she sct fire to the curtains, and then retired
to bed. from which i: was thought impossible she
could have moved
In fact, 80 mysterious was the origin of the fire
that her parents were quite ut n loss to account
for it, until the girl herself confessed having been
the cause. She now lies in such state that she
neither be called alive nor dead, the former
state being only ascertnined by careful exami-
nation of her pulse. Were it not that there is no
motive for deception, and the parents being credi-
table people, we should imagine there some
ruse in this very extraordinary affair, which is
causing considerable excitement in Nuneaton and
the nelghborhood.

Tns uoss JorasAL Foa .lsse,--W have a.
ways regarded the Home journal. edited by Mes
.sos Msgyis and Willis one OF tn bsst literary
weekly newspapers published In this o. any other
country. The character Of the matter. both orig
nal snd selected. which Alls its columns, 10 Of .
high order. The poetry Of George p Morris. the
sweet song writer Of Anssrica, and ths charming
letters and pencillings by N. p Willis. are them
selves worth more than the subscription. The
father Of family can do nothing better 10 amuse.
entertain, and instruct himself and fsnily, espe-
cay the female portion Of it, than by subscribing
for this paper. With 1859 new series will COM
mence, with which also begin series Of beautiful
original works of fact and fancy written express
ly for tho Homo Journal by the best authors Of
America. Among other good things will DO tale
Of sterling merit by n lady, called Two Ways to
Wedlock;;" n tale Of the South. called "The Aven-
GER" by an aminent Southern author; and tale
called The Young Wifc's Diary" by q daughter
Of the West with other tales Of striking merit. to-
gether with number Of original comic stories-
From this it will be seen. that the Home Journal
offers as much, and better reading matter than
any other Of the many family weekly newspapers.
We heartily recommend it 70 all who wish to read
a weekly newspaper Of refined, moral, entertain
ing, and instructive character. As no more cop
les of the new series will be printed than are or
dcred, those who desire to begin with the COM
mencement Of the volume will be able to do 30 by

We may have a.other Kansas imbroglio. and an-
other tlt between the opposing factions in regard

hope tho Democracy Of Congress will not initiate

wrangling, rows, and disputaton.
