A letter in the Allgesneine Zeitung tells a most rornanti
story of a girl who was found iu November, 1853, wandetin
about near the village of Weiskirchen, in the Banat, almost i
a savage state, unable to speak intelligibly, though she wt
full grown. The gill has been carefully educated, since tilt
time, by Friedrich Eck, the teacher to whom she was confide
by the municipal authorities of Offenbach. She is now abl
to give some account of herself, and the result has been pub
lisped by Herr. Eck in, a pamphlet just printed at Frankton
What can be collected from her is tart befort3 she wa
five yea's' old she was seized and carried away from he
