IT MADE HIM CRAZY-Hugh Lloyd,
q farmer, near Eckerty, 1od., has gone
insane under circumstances peculiarly
distressing. Last Saturday Mr.. Lloyd
went to his old home. q farm, some dis
lance in the country, to remove the
body of his deceased mother to grave
near his new home. Mr.. Lloyd was
stunned on opening the casket 10 find
the body petrifed and looking perfect
ly lifelike among the unchanged grave
clothes, although his parent died more
than thirty years sgo.
The discovery seems to have instant
ly unbalanced Mr.. Lloyd's mind. He
began to weep and ceress the body and
talk as if the dead had departed only a
few days ago. He was finally taken
away, but his tears have not ceased,
and the doctors doubt if his reason will
ever be restored. He is delirious and
constantly raves about his dead parent.
The coffin has been replaced in the
original grave to await some improve
ment in Lloyd's condition. 1t was so
heavy that eight men were required to
raise it, The case has attracted great
attention in that vicinity.
