BURIED IN A TRANCE.
An American paper, the, Elmira Gazette, says :—Miss Mosoly, a domestic in a family in West Middlesex, Penn., was supposed to have died suddenly a few weeks ago. Her family had removed to Missouri previous to her death, and Miss Mosely was given a respectable burial by her employer. A few days after some friends arrived there from Missouri to remove her remains West, and on opening the coffin it was discovered the young lady had been buried alive while- in a trance, and had awakened in-the grave, and turned over on her side. She was lying face downwards, her hands clenched in her hair, and her distorted features plainly showing the intensity of suffering she had undergone. It -was apparent that in the short interval which must have ensued between return to consciousness and death by suffocation she had comprehended her condition, and turning upon her face, had endeavored to throw open the lid of the coffin by pushing against it with her back.
