Back from the Grave. —At the village of Saint Crepin, in Prance, the body of an old man named Bouleng was being carried to the grave, when one of the bearers thought that he detected a slight movement inside the coffin, and after the interment communicated his impression to his three comrades over a bottle of wine at the nearest inn. The others had also felt something stir, and so they told, the vicar, who immediately had the coffin exhumed and opened. It was then found that Bouleng had moved his hands, which were crossed over his breast, and had lifted them to his face. The old man was taken out of the grim receptacle which enclosed him, and some brandy was poured down his throat. On being taken home more restoratives were administered,' and he is now so far recovered that he can eat, drink, and speak. True Economy. —To purchase Countess Tea for two shillings.
