down to sleep near the grave, leaving his arms arranged so as to form a cross. The vampire rose in the night, but could not pass over the cross. He requested the shepherd to remove it, as he had important business in the village. On his promise to return shortly, the shepherd removed the cross. The vampire went into the village, killed a man and woman, and drank their blood. The following day his body was taken out and burned. A drop of blood spurted upon the foot of a bystander, and instantly that member withered.     The scene of another manifestation of the superstition, which ended in a tragedy, was laid in Hungary. A young miller who, on the eve of his marriage with a peasant girl, was suddenly seized with a mortal, illness, expired, and was buried the next day. That night several cattle were killed in a mysterious manner, and the young man’s betrothed dreamed that she heard him calling for help. Her story, together with the incident of the dead cattle, inflamed the minds of the villagers, already saturated with the vampire belief. They repaired in a body to the miller’s grave. On opening it the supposed corpse sat up with a loud cry. The mob cried vampire, and fell upon him immediately and beat him and mangled him with with stones and clubs. A physician who examined the body shortly afterward declared it his opinion that the young man had awaken from a trance only to be murdered by his former friends.—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
