The Hinton Repabl;cun says: A col.
ored girl, whose home is in Monroe
county, near Peterstown, has recent
ly created considerable excitement
in that vicinity. She has for some
time been working out, but feeling
sick she had gone home to recuperate
her health, und on Tuesday of last
week intended to return to her work.
About 8 o'clock she fell over appar.
emily dead, and was laid out prepar-
atory to being cohined. AT 3 o'clock
she rose up and asked her mother for
something to eat, which was given
to her, and after having taken three
or four bites sank back into the same
state of Inconsistencies she had
previously been in, and in which she
remained until last Friday noon at
which time our informer last heard
from her. During all this time she
never breathed, and would have been
considered dead but for the fact that
her appearance was that of one in
deep sleep, and her body underneath
the arms was slightly warm.
