Her friends were sus- picious and postponed the funeral and burial twice and finally consent. ed to burial. Events necessitated a‘ removal of her body to another cem- etery, when on exhumation, she was found lying in her casket face down; her hair nearly all torn from her HIGHLAND PARK, ILL; JULY 22. 1593 Burial alire was a common thing telligent people. in the barbarous practices of the Th9" there another strung middle ages, in wars and religioug thing, the sophistry people will u persecutions, not singly, as with us, to deceive the judge and themaelu is “8 H but in groups by the score in a sin- M to the conduct of those who buy he gle pit or grave, as modern soldiers violated these ordinances, eupet-iall 3W bury their dead comrades on the ofthcir children, or those in who: field after a great battle.

This kind of talk makes one sick, i 5: wt of being buried alive. , We make ,0 bold to say that in almost nine cases '0 out often our dead are buried too soon after supposed death. Not un- frequently the burial comes the next day after death. almost always be- fore forty-eight hours have elapsed after death. In some cases this is necessary, as in the case of a neigh- bor’s wife. for whose condition we in- iquircd at the supper table and were told she was “rery sick, very low," etc, and on inquiring the next- morn- ing at breakfast were told she wssin her grave. It was a shockalbeit she died of small-pox.

The crime to which we refer is the persistent habit of burying peo ple alive. This is a greusome sub- ject, but, like some others, .it must be discussed.
