in the same rigid condition as when first
discovered. Her pulse beat as regular as
that of any conscious person, yet the body
retained the same ridigity, and the muscles
did not relax their rigid condition from
Monday evening until o clock on Tuesday
afternoon, when she awoke from her almost
deathlike Sleep Lancaster Examiner.
