A negro woman died ia Collinsville, a

about O'Clock, and William BRYANT, the
cOlored undertaken on Cotton avenue,
was sent Tor 10 furnish a coffin and en-
balm tue corpse. Bryant went out and
took tae measure. Ia the afternoon he
went with the embalming iuid, etc,
aud proceeded with the task before him.
When he was about concluding his work
his hand came In contact with the body
and ne found it warm. he drew back
aghast and after pause he tslt the
corpse again. 1t was as warm as his own
body. The cold chills ran over him as be
began TO think that the woman might not
have been dead, and that as be had used
the poisonous embalming fluid freely
there was no chance to save her. He
caught hold OF her feet, but they were
cold. Then be felt the body again and
il was still warm. He scratched his head
and said: "Tbis is the ffty-third person
I have buried since l went into the bust
ness, but never yet buried hot corpse"
/ Then ne went as quickly as possible tc
the city hall 10 see DIR. Walker, and, mol
finding him there, went 10 his house and
told him exactly how be bad found the
! corpse. The doctor satisfied him that the
( woman must be dead, and q great load
was lifted from hls mind.

Of them for the purpose OF procuring
some article OF clothing TO wear during
the evening, a cat jumped out OF the trunb
aud commenced prOmenading across the
floor in an apparently seli-satisbed and
naughty manner. Mrs. Carr at first was
so much surprised at the appear
ance OF the cat that she hardly
knew what to think OF the matter. Al
soon "a she could collect her thoughts
however, she recognized the cat as ont
that was pet In the hotel In which she
had boarded while at the resort she had
Just left. She also remembered that wbil,
she was packing tue trunk for the pur
pose OF returning home the friendly fe
line was walking about the room appRr
I emily much interested in what was goinI
on. Mrs. Carr, in the absence OF a more
substantial theory, is satisfied that whil'
she was packing the trunk the cat slipped
in and MD away under some OF the con
tents ofthe trunk. The cat will no doub
find its way back home.
