Singular Resuscitation in Rockford.
--The Register gives the particulars of a singular case of resuscitation after supposed death in that city:
A child had, to all appearance, died, and was laid out in its little winding sheet upon a board in an upper room, while the other preparations were going forward for the funeral. The sexton was notified and the grave also dug. Some time after, the father went into the room where the child was, and was astonished at its calling him by name, and complaining that it did not lie good. Of course the little sufferer was supplied with a better bed at once. It had evidently fallen into a trance, from which it was awakened by a hard bed and cold air.
