The people H ?ng in the vicinity of Whit?land, Johnson County, have recently been very much excited over a matter which, to say the least, is very strange. Several weeks since, Hiss Yan Ar sd ale, a young woman about seventeen years old, living at the house of a family near White!.md in the capacity of a servant, was taken sick with something like hys? terics, She had been confined to her bed a little over a week, when, to all appearances, she died. The body, however, did not entirely lose j ita warmth, and a very slight pulse remained. The people with whom i she was living supposed that she was : dead, and were making preparations | to bury her, when the physician in- ! terfered, forbidding any such step. ] After remaining in this state twelve I hours, consciousness returned, and J the girl pronounced herself mach 1 better. Sae then went on to describe her sensations and experience during i the trance, averring that she had visit- J ed Heaven and hell, and had con- . versed with the Saviour, and many persons whom she had known on < earth. She spoke of seeing persons in both places who had recently died; in Heaven, a young man named ] Quinn, who, although at one time a , professor of religion, had, in thc j last year or two of bis life, led a had ( life; in hell, the two men, Hatchell \ and Patterson, who were lynched at 1 Franklin on the night of October 31, j for the murder of Lyons at Green- , wood. Miss Yan Aradale sent for a number of persons in the neighbor? hood, and not only imparted to them , news of lost friends, but told of sins . committed by them supposed to be unknown by any one. Among others . was a man who had participated in the execution of tho mon named 1 above; she told him that he had been 1 there that night, (which he acknow- 1 hedged,) and had, in sight of God, ' committed murder. ' Previous to this the names of the 1 band had been kept a profound i secret, and .this man had not even < been suspected. * She narrated a good ( many strange things, relating mainly : to individuals in this world and the t other, mauy of which it would have i been almost impossible for her to , have invented. f But the strangest part of the story ? is yet to come. . A few hours after the expiration of the first trance, she predicted that she would, have an? other, and told to a minute thc time at which it would commence, and at which it would end. Everything turned out as she had said; at the exact time she fell into the samo state. lu an ordinary trance, or cataleptic state, respiration is not suspended, but in this case breathing could not be observed. She was to all appearances dead; but tho pulse beat faintly, and the body was uot cold. All sensation was gone. Tho physician made numerous ex? periments, pricking tho body, open? ing the veins, and so forth, to dis? cover if there could bo any deception. In the tad he waa perfectly con? vinced that there was none. At the expiration of tho time set by heraelf she came to, and in a few hours was well enough to leavo her bed and go about tho houBe. The story -of her experience in tho second tranco was similar to the first ono, and was con? fined almost wholly to individuals. She seemed unablo to describo tho places Rho had been in, but gave histories of events and persons with remarkable minute ->ss. Sho also said that sho woulc nover have a recurrence of tho tranco unless she should commit some flagrant sin; her authority for this prediction was that tho Lord himself had told her so. This is certainly a strange thing. The girl is uneducated, and has lived about as a servent ever since she was able to work. She has always borne a good character for truthfulness, and is a member of a church. She is -".2rr:cst thc last poison in tho world to have manufactured such stories, and one thing especially noticeable is the fact of her sending for persons to whom, before her illness, she would bavo been afraid to have spoken, and conversing with them without the least restraint; and telling them stories and facts not the most palatable to worldly people. She was visited by a great many people, some of them eminently respectable, who vouched for many of the state? ments of her illness. The physician in attendance is positive as to her condition during the whole time; and had it not been for him she would have been buried alive. [Indianapolis Herald, December 14. "SPECIAL?
