where gigantic owl was exhibited. "You

LIFE IN DEATH-A SINGULAR CASE
Coroner Brennecke of Rye was engaged on
Friday in the investigation of a case OF more
than ordinary interest, especially to supersti-
tious minds. 1t appears that Elizabeth Coles
colorec, wife of Henry Coles. resident Of
that section of the town of Rye known az
Hog-Pen Ridge, on Tuesday last fell and i'm
mediately became blind, and suffered severe
pain in the side. Her husband being absent
at the time, she sent a grand-child for Mrs.
Gregory, neighbor, to whom she r. lated
what had occurred. Subsequently she be-
came paralyzed and speechIess, and when
medical aid was procured she was pronounc-
ed beyond relief After the lapse of forty
eight hours, Coroner Brennecke was called to
hold an Inquest and ascertain the cause of
death. To his astonishment he found the
body and e, tremities still warm, the hands
quite pliable, and, on raising The eyelids, fail
ed to discover the usual appearances of death.
Under these circumstances, Coroner Bren-
necke directed post mortem examination 10
be made by Drs. Mixell and Starr, ON Friday,
when IL was ascertained death had resulted
from hamorrhage from an internal tumor,
and was accelerated by the fall. In regard to
the peculiar condition of the body for 80 long
period after death, the doctors were entire
ly unable to assign any cause. The case was
considered very singular one, entirely un-
like anything which had previously come un-
der their notice

What unconscious tribute we pay to the
doctrine ofthe resurrection by the 1--we and
honor in which we hold graves, century after
century. Surely in our hearts we believe
that each such spot becomes forever unlike all
other ground, by whatever process the dear
flesh crumbles, returns to dust, and is chang.
ed into the leaf, flower and seed that perish.
In our hearts we believe that the graves re.
mains grave, and that at least this much is
sure; that the happy, soaring, growing spirit
which has gone on in the worlds will never
forget where the tiny spot is on this one in
which its human body was laid.
