Incidents.
The Albany journal in the course Of an
article on this subject, relates the following
instance, of which the editor was perfectly
cogniZant:
Some years ago we were perfectly cOgmi-
Zant to an occurrence OF this kind, which
was OF the most heart-rendiug chaIactur.-
The wife ui Il gentleman was taken sudden
ly i'll in church, and was carried to her home
III Il state Of syncOpe. In Il few hours She
partially recovered; hut immediately re!aps-
ed, and never again showed any sign of CON
sciouSness She lay in this condition nearly
two days battling the skill Of the physicians
aud then, as it was thought, and as there
was almost every reason to believe. died.
No sighs Of breathing could be detected,
the limbs became rigid and cold, and the
eyes remained open with the fixed and glas-
sy stare Of death; but there was no change
in the color Of the skin. This was the only
reason IN the world Tor supposiDg that dis
solution had not taken place. The poor
bereayed husband, almost frantic at the
loss of the young and beautiful wife whom
he almost idulizcd, chung with desperation
to the hope lIlnncd Ill hes face, aud long re-
sisted the unanimous decision Of the ply
siclanS, that she was certainly dead. They
told him what is doubtless true, that it some
times, though very rarely happens, that
there is no CiscoloratIon for days and weeks
after dissolution takes place t..
But still he resisted, and it was not until
three days has passed without the funtcst
signal Of change or sign OF life, that he
finally gave up and suffered the burial to
take place. She was entombcd in vault.
Months passed. y cemCtly having been
laid out, the husband purchased and beau
titled IA lot, erected an elegant monument in
it, and when all WAS ready, supcrintcnded
the removal Of the body of his wife from
the vault to its final resting place. When
the vault was opened, he remembered the
circumstances Of her death, above detailed,
and desire suddenly seized him to once
more behold the corpse. BY his direction
the coffin lid was removed. The spectacle
which presented itself was iuconcciyably
horrible. for it showed that She had been
bur.td oltc. She had turned quite over
upon her side; sno had ciutched hcrnuilS in
to the coffin until her fingers had blld; por-
tons OF her grave clothes were tom, and in
her horrible struggle she had contriyCd to
carry her hand to her head, and had pluckcd
from it amuss Of hair with portions Of the
cap that covered it!
