At Leu Saint Remv, in Belgium, an ap
palling sensation has lately occurred. A
young man, who was believed to be dead,
was placed in coffin and buried. A
great number Of mourners accompanied
the funeral One Of them pronounced
eulogium upon the character OF the de-
ceased, the usual prayers were recited, and
the coffin was lowered into the grave. The
grave-diggers had begun to fill it in with
clay, when they heard several knocks
given from within the coffin. Terrified,
they ran to call the curate and inform the
Mayor, in the presence Of both OF which
personages, the coffin was opened.
Horrible spectacler' says the paper
| from which this is translated 1.-THE unfOr
tunate youth, who had been buried alive
while IN a state of lethargy had made des-
perate efforts to break open the lid Of thu
coffin, but useiessly, and had died Of -
