RISEN FROM THE DEAD.
A Singular Story ofa Temporary Re.
turn 10 Life.

The Augusta, Mainel Journal of Fri
day, 18th instant, tells this marvellous
tale: I'VE have an event TO chronicle
that would scarcely be believed were it not
authoratively vouched for by competent
witnesses-parties whose testimony can
not well be disputed or set aside. A
young man in the town Of Wassalboro
in this county, was suffering in the last
stages of consumption, the disease which
had insidiou>ly and steadily brought him
10 the verge OF the grave. For several
weeks he had been entirely PROSTATE and
unable to speak-even to articulate
syllable. He became so oppressed for
breath that he compelled his attendants
to raise the windows in hls room, put out
the fires. and resort to every means to
obtain fresh air. One day last week
Thursday, we understandl the young
man died Friendly hands prepared the
poor, em0ciatcd body for the burial,
but Just as the attending friends were
arranging the remains for the casket
there appeared unmistakable evidences Of
returning life in what had seemed to
them an inanimate mass of clay. The
ear of nm attendant was bent down to
the side ofthe dead man, and it was diScov-
cred again that the heart had begun
It's slow and measured palpltations. The
pulse thrObbed and the young man arose
from the death shrouds and spoke in clear
and distinct woris to those who stooda APP
pallcd IN the dcath-chamber. There was
no huSkincss in his voice; he appeared
lively and active, said he felt not the
slightest pain, but to use his own
language, i feel Just rs well
us ever did At his
request the neighbor, were all called
in, who crowded the house for hours, de.
c!arlng that the recovery Of the man WAS
equal to anything recorded in the Scrip !
lures. He told this startled asscmblage
of his friends and ncighbors that rs he /.
died all things seemed dark but only for |
al instant; ms eyes suddenly opened to i
new world. the real heaven which had |
been So many times in his thoughts and |,
had given him So much comfort IN his |
last weeks of pain and sorrow.

ed near Parquette, one Mexican and two
Americans are among the killed. All
the prisoners except four escaped, but
nothing has been heard of them. Bust

daring of late that nearly all travel on
the highways has ceased, even stock men
