MARROW ESCAPE FROM THE GRAvR-The
Cleveland Plaindealer tells the following re-
markaoie story Of a case which it says hap.
pened in that city:
Some six weeks ago young lady residing on
Lorain street, Miss Ellen X. White, was taken
Ill by what was regarded by her physicians as
typhoid fever. For four weeks her Condition
alternated from better to worse, when ahout
TWO weeks since she had q severe relapse, sin pk
ing gradually until II was thos ght she had died.
and she was pronounced dead by her physi-
cians, her mother alone refusing to believe her
dead. Preparations was made tor her funeral
tne motner all the time insisting that her
daughter was alive. She was to have been
buried on Sunday last, and her narrow escape
from the grave Is thus related: On Saturday,
While one Of the neighbors and the mother
were standing by the side Of the supposed
corpse. the door, which had been left open.
blew shut with loud noise, which had the ef-
feet of so acting upon the girl as to bring her
tc, and set her life blood In motion. She sprang
up tn bed, and throwing her arms around her
mothers neck wept tears of JOY over her escape
from the horrid death of belng buried alive
The yoang lady described her feelings durine
her trance, from which IL appears she fully
realized all mat was gong on, but her will was
poweffss. Her situation appears to have been
one Of perfect happiness, except when the
thought OF being buried alive possessed her.

DEPARTURE OF Ex-ArroRNKY q RNRRAI
STANBERy.-The above named gentleman left
Washington this morning for his farm and
residence near Covington, Kentucky, where
he will remain for a short time. He intends to
spend the man part of the summer In recu-
peraton and leisure. in some mon ntain retreat.
10 company with his wife, and of one of his
sons, whose health needs strengthening. We
hear that he cheerfally withdraws from politl-
cal life, and also that 1t has for some time been
the most earnest wish of his family that he
should so withdraw, on account Of his health
domestic comfort, and freedom from mental
labor and excitement
We cannot let this gentleman leave the
National Calital, without a word of friendly
and respectful parting. Henry Stanbery
quietly, and without announcement, appeared
on the stage. about two years since, a men,
Der Of the Cabinet; has performed an active
part in the administration: and has crowned
his brief career by taking charge of the Presi-
dents defence, in the late Impeachment trial,
the result of which is now matter of history.
We Will not discuss those points OF the trial,
concerning which there is yet so much recrimi-
nation and hot blood; but as to the personal
and official part enacted in that trial by Mr..
Stanbery, there can, we think, br but one
opinion from party friend and party foe and
Mr.. Stanbery is in many respects a man of
what is sometimes called the old school &"
Firm yet gentle; naturally grounded in con.
servatism. yet refusing its extremes: a States
rights advocate, yet Immovably firm for the
Union cause of great dignity and benevolence
and not without personal magnetism Such
hurriedly itemised, are some of the principal
traits OF Henry Stanbery From all that know
him well, irrespective OF party. he takes with
him in his retirement genuine benisons and
respect. @
