Story of Death, Life and Death Again.
[N. Y. Sun.]
The twelve-year-old daughter of J. B. Do-remus, of Willis street, Paterson, died on Tuesday of last week, as was supposed. The body was prepared and laid out in the coffin, and all the strange arrangements were completed for the funeral on Friday afternoon. The father sat alone in his house on Friday evening. The preparations were all ready, the doctor's certificate filed, and the coffin sat upon the benches in the adjoining room. The door silently opened, and in her shroud and grave clothes the girl he had supposed to be dead tottered toward him, threw her arms around her neck, kissed him passionately and then fell back unconscious in his arms. A physician was called with all haste, but this time she was dead.
