months ago Joseph Dyer, aged 20 years,
of Cape Elizabeth, was thrown from a
wagon and picked up for dead, as was sup
posed. The body was inferred In the
Evergreen Cemetery. A short time ago
his parents were warned that he was alive
and we'll, and would soon be home. The
coffin was exhumed. and when IL was
about being opened at Dyer's residence
young Dyer walked into tho house and
said, when he saw what was being done:

pearance. as may be supposed, caused an

cal students dug up the body for the pur.
pose OF dissection and found Dyer alive
and treated him until he thoroughly re-
covered. The young man remembered
nothing Of what took place while in the
Doctors hands.
