stated that. in Berlin, in Prussia, an individual,
during violent dispute with his wife, IN the
course OF which both parties became much en-
ragged, undertook TO administer little salufd,y
chastlsement. He struck her, with his hand,
slight blow on the back Of her neck. The wo-
man Instantly fell, and became, apparently, i'm
medIately deprived of all sensation---and, alter
various methods were resorted to without success
to re-animate her, she was pronounced dead
Grave clothes were provided, and some persons
commenced stripping the body of its apparel, in
order to array il, preparatory to It's interment.-
On removing handkerchief from her shoulders,
the woman, TO the great CONSERVATION of all pre-
sent, started up, assumed mechanic attitude,
and proceeded TO finish opprobrious term
which she was applying to her husband when he
struck her the blow that appeared to have pro-
duced such serious result!


1t was ascertained, on subsequent investigation,
that pin, which confined certain portion of
her garments TO her neck, was, by the force of the
blow, driven through the integuments and spine
until it reached the spinal marrow, and was the
cause of the instantaneous suspension of all the
functions Of the body and mind. She was re-
stored to consciousness, and the full possession
Of all her faculties, so soon as it was removed.
