CURIOUS RESURRECTION CASE

A curious case occurred last week at Rome, in Franklin county, Ohio. Mrs. Peters, wife of a German of that name, after a short illness was supposed to have died. Her husband made immediate arrangements for her funeral, having procured a coffin in this city. On placing her body in the coffin, a general perspiration was observed throughout the skin, which was reported to the husband, with the suggestion that the burial be deferred, in the hope of reanimation. To this the husband objected, and had her interred the same day, (Saturday). After the burial services were over, some relatives of the supposed deceased, who reside in this city, which had laready taken place, and hearing of the circumstances, caused the body, which then had been four hours in the grave, to be disinterred, when, to their surprise and joy, they found signs of life still remaining. Restoratives being administered, Mrs. Peters gradually recovered, was taken by her friends in this city, and is now well. We are informed that she refuses to again live with her husband. The circumstances connected with the affair are strange, indeed, and should undergo investigation. Columbus (O.) Fact
