currence, we'll authenticated, is related at
Leipsic, q station on the Nickel Plate road
near here. A wellknown married lady, who
was in delicate condition, was supposed to
have expired and was placed in vault pre-
paratory to burial. Her friends became afraid
they had not used duo caution In permitting
tempt to restore her to life, ana insisted that
the coflin should be opened. This was done,
and, TO their astonishment and delight, a faint
fiush appeared on her check. The body was
hurriedIy removed from the comm and the
lady finally revived. The strangest part OF the
matter 10 that the lady has since become the
mother OF twin daughters, and all are doing
nicely. The affair Is the sensation OF the COM
munity.

that the recent revocation of the company's
authority to do business in Massachusetts
was not due to supposed financial unsound-
ness. but solely to its refusal to comply with
the law as construed by this department.
