MADE SURE WIFE WAS DEAD.

Seeing mans head appearing
and disappearing from one of the
graves in cemetery at st. Etienne,
France, recently, some women going
to early morning service were great
ly surprised and rushed in terror to
the mayor of the town. The latter
called out the gendarmes and led
them to the churchyard. They found
that one Of the graves had been
opened and that farmer named Va
leinne was at the bottom of it busily
mailing down the lid of the coffin iii
which his wife was buried three days
before. It was easy to see that he
had lost his reason, but from the In
coherent statements it was learnt
that he believed his wife had ap-
peared to him in dream and in
formed him she was not dead. He
started forthwith for the cemetery,
and labored hard to dig out the
grave. He then opened the coffin,
and, having satisfied himself thattshe
was dead, replaced the lid.
