She had been seized with illness ill-ness noon after returning home from the Normal School and died suddenly. It made much griof among the companions com-panions of the young Indies' Normal School course. Several days after a letter came addressed to the same you im lady ot Bloomiugton, appar ently by the hands of her dead friend. Opening the letter she found that her supposeel dead friend had both written the letter and signed it. . The letter stated that she had been stricken down by illness, was pro-; pro-; nouueed dead, put in a coffin, her '. grave dug and the hour for her funeral , appointed; but she was luckily not buried, for the very good reason that she woke up in time to render the : last ceremony quite unnecessary, i She was very glad of it, and was quite L well again. She supposes it was a ) trance that looked like death. Bur-- Bur-- lington (Iowa) Gazette. |
