We understand, says the Troy "Times," that a man died in West Troy last Thursday evening, with a disease strangely resembling cholera, and his body was deposited in a coffin, and fully prepared for burial. The remains were kept until Saturday evening, and then, while the friends of the deceased were engaged in holding a wake over him, the dead man slowly recovered from the state in which he had so long lain, and actually arose from the coffin, walked across the floor, and requested a drink of water, saying he was very thirsty. This comes to us from one of the parties present, and we see no reason to doubt her statements. We further understand that the man is now convalescent. The Chicago Journal, a few weeks since, mentioned a case like this which happened in that city since the appearance of the cholera.
