A MODERN MIRACLE.

[Pall Mall Gazette."]

A miracle is alleged to hove been Wrought at the villege of Maunch Chunk, in Pennsylvania. A lady, by name Miss Amelia GreHh, has, it is asserted, been raised from the dead by Father »'einau, a German Catholic Priest, ftt Mnunch Chunk. Miss Greth, according to her own account, was enabled, through ■ a communication from her guardian arjgel, to predict her, own death from consumption on the 2nd lilt., hut the prediction was accompanied by the gratifying announcement that she would be restored to life by a miracle, would get up from her deathbed and attend mass, and return from church cored of bU ailments, On the' day mentioned Misa Greth died accordingly, and her remains were viewed by 7,000 persons, who were permitted to pass through the room in which the corpse wns lying. After Miss Greth had been lying dead for about an hour, Father Hinau, who had attended her in her Inst moments, nnnounced amid the most profound silence that he was about to. s "ball her."- He then cried " Amelia ! " and, there being no response, shouted her name again in a loud voice, upon which Miss Greth immediately came to life and responded " Father ! " The scene in the room, it is stated, was at that moment '* indescribable." Cries of joy and weeping were heard on ail sides. Mies 'Greth then asked for a shawl, end "was accommodated with a sealskin jacket, which a lady who stood by the bedside took off and placed upon her shoulders. She then walked alone and 'quite rapidly to tho church, followed by an immense concourse of people in a state of wild excitement. On her arrival at the chorch, Father Heinau preached^two sermons — one in German and the other in English — aud on the conclusion of the service Misa Greth returned to her room apparently Strong and hearty. She has since been interviewed by several reporters, but aa She is not permitted to describe her sensations during tLe lime she was dead, her revelations were confined chiefly to details a 8 to her health, which -Corns to have been far from satisfactory.
