A sensation has been created in Dayton, Ohio, by the discovery of the fact that Miss Hockwalt, a young lady of high social connections, who was sup¬ posed to have died suddenly on Jan. 10, was buried alive, A local paper says : — The terrible truth was discovered a few days ago, and since then it has been the talk of the city. The circumstance of Miss Hockwalt's death was peculiar. It occurred on the morning of themarriage of her brother to Miss Emma Sell wind at Emanuel's Church. Shortly before 6 for o’clock the nuptials the young and had lady was ‘dressing into gone the kitchen. A few moments afterward she was found sitting on a chair with her head leaning against a wall and appar¬ ently lifeless. Medical aid was sum¬ moned in, Dr. Jewett who, after ex amination, pronounced her dead. Mass was being read at the time in Emanuel's Church, and it was proposed to the wedding, but Father Hahne thought best to continue, and the marriage was performed examination in gloom. showed that The Anna was of excitable temperament, nervous, and affected with sympathetic palpita¬ tion of the heart. Dr. Jewett thought this was the cause of her supposed death. On the following day the lady was interred in the Woodland. The friends of Miss Hockwalt were unable to forget the terrible impression and ' several ladies observed that her eyes bore a remarkably natural color and could net dispel an idea that she was not dead. They conveyed their opinion to Annie’s parents and the thought preyed upon them so that the body was taken from the grave. It was stated that when the coffin was opened it et as discovered that the supposed inanimate body hail turned upon its right side. The hair had been torn out in handfuls and the flesh had been bitten from the fingers. The body was reinterred and efforts made to suppress the facts, but there are those who state that they saw the body, and know the facts to be aa Mr- ' rated. Good breeding is the result of m|bh good sense, some gcard-nature, and a : tie self-denial for the sake of others,; id with a view to obtain the same iu< 4 genee from them.
