NEARLY BURIED ALIvE.-Rev. Father
Smith, Of Brooklyn, member of the Dom
inican Order, has bad two very peculiar
trance experiences. They are thus narrat'
ed by him. II am suffering from malady
which weakens me greatly. But never d'H
it cause me to enter into traLce before,
except once in Italy For several hours |
was believed dead and il YVES only when ID.
chapelle ardentc was being prepared that l
awoke. La Brooklyn the trance began III
the same manner. l had bsen aiing for
several days. One evening when was y
ing on my couch suddenly felt great
weakness creeping over me. '1led TO Call
: for help. Ny mouth refused to artlcuiate
any sound. A moment after had entered
into trance like the one l had in Italy.
When my friends came into my room they
found me pale and motionIess. They feis
nv heart, but its pulsations could not be
felt. and they copject ured that | must have
passed away during their absence from my
bedside. could hear them Walking about
nv couch, but was go overcome with Weas-
>nees that I was unable TO move niger.
It ia customary n religious communities 10
bury one of their deceased members shortly
after his demise In accordance with the
custom they wired the news of my death to
nv family in Ottawa, snd charged one Of
nv confreres to prepare my funeral GRAFTON.
When the time came to place me in my cof-
Fl fully realized my horrible position. l
tried to move, but the effort proved fruit
less. When in the coffin made a supreme
effort and called upon Heaven to hear me
and save me from such horrible fate. |
succeeded in partly raising my head and
this is what saved me- The frs: to congrat
ulate me was the priest who had BEEN sum
moned to preach my funeral sermon. -

DEATH OF THos. JAUDEs. Mon
day evening about half past six o'clock
Thomas Jaudes breathed his last at his
home in this city. He was a familiar
character on our streets and was gener-
ally engaged in wood-sawing. He was
unmarried and would have been ca
years old the 22d of December, 1886.
He was a native of Prussia and came
to this country about thirty-two years
ago and first. settled at Wilmington,
Delaware. When the rebellion broke
out he was among the first to respond
to his adopted country's call and enlist
ed in Company ID. 1st Delaware Cav
airy, serving three full years He took
out his naturalization papers on the
30th of October, 1862, in time to cast
his first ballot that fall. He was a
good soldier and one who never shrank
from doing his duty, either upon a
scouting expedition or when actively
engaged upon the battle field. He
came to this state about eighteen
years ago. He had received injuries
while in the U. S. service, but had never
obtained his pension. Some time ago
he made application through pension
agent Kidd and it was expected that he
would be able to draw pension soon.
His remains were inferred in the
Catholic cemetery Yesterday at II a. M.
Rev. Father Barth officiating.
