SHRACK A HUMBUG.

Last week we published an article
taken from a Philadelphia paper OF
one John H. Shrack, who died and
four hours after came to life. Since
that was published W. have later &C
counts of Shrack's case, from which 1t
annears his death and resurrection
was a fraud and delusion. 1t Is con-
celel however that he played the
trick of suspended animation with sur
nrising dexterity. And now comes
another wonderful story, similar to
his from Msuch Chunk, Pa. A young
woman named Aurelia Greth dleu IN
that place on the End inst. but pre-
dicteI before her death that in one
bonr afterward SIZE would be brought
to life at the command Of Father Hell
nan, a young priest. Accordingly
she died. In another hour precisely
Father Heinan was in attendance
He called her once, twice, thrice to
arise. She responded to the third
call and soon arose not only to new
life, but in restored health, and
walked TO church. If true it is very
extraordinary story, and they are try
inc their best to believe it in that To-
calitv. But Shrack's fraud has sha
ken public confidence in such miracles
