A Narrow Escape from Burial BE-
fore the vital Spark had Fled.
ALEXANDRIA, VA, March 49,
Much excitement has been caused
by the apparent return to life of the
corpse of an estimable lady, Mrs.
Judge HUMPHREYS, living six miles
from here. She apparently died
from the effects of a severe cold
three days ago. Yesterday evening
the funeral was announced to take
place, and a large concourse of peo-
Die gathered at the mansion of the
deceased.
The corpse was put in the coffin,
and lust before the time for the lid
to be closed the friends and relatives
of the deceased gathered around to
take the last lingering look at the
familiar lineaments, when they Tell
back aghast at seeingthe pale cneeks
suddenly flush and a warm glow
suffuse the temples. The hands of
the deceaAed were also found warm
and pliable. The body was at once
removed from the coffin and dives
ted of the shroud. There was every
sign of returning life.
To-day the anxious watchers have
stood over it. For a time the vital
spark seemed to fash from the dead
but this evening respiration seemed
over, and the body has grown cold
and stiff, and once more the lady
has been declared dead, and the day
fixed for her funeral.
