BURIED ALIvK.-Mrs. J. II. Mcclure. the
wife OF a farmer nving some miles east Of the
city, was taken sick on the I'd instant, and on
the 18th che CO ased TO breath, and it was sp-
paren, to every one that she was dead. On the
5;h she was buried in the family vault An
old lady, in company with the children Of the
deceased, visited the vault, when they were
startled by hearing groans issuing therefrom,
which so frightened the old lady that she
tainted. The children, becoming terrified, ran
home and related the circumstances TO their
father, who, with three or four of his neigh
bors, repaired TO the vault, broke open the
door. raised the comm lid, and there-what q
sight TO meet husbands eye-was the living
manglsd fern of his wife. The flesh ON her
fingers was torn and bleeding, her face was
mutilated, and her hair partly torn out by the
roots, in her efforts to escape the living death
to which she had been assigned. What horror
pervades the mind at the thought Of beng
buried alive! What must have been her suf-
fernge, her imaginations and her thoughts
during the time she was confined alive in tn At
lonely, narrow prison. house Of the dead. The
mind wanders, and reason itself Is prone TO
take its Night at the bare contemplation Of
such horrible situation. She was inmedi-
ately removed to the house and medical at
tendance summoned, and we understand that
she is now in . fair way Of recovery.-Qunicy
