by Mrs. Prince, that netting of the kind
had mhdc ats appearance since sunset the

her ordinary occupation ! examined hci
closely, hut could discover nothing nnaau-

girl VIII" was walking the floor, turned a
round, with a smile, wlleh I discovered
lump OF something like black blood, about
AS thick and nearly as black rs tar, nearly
The size NJ ascherry, Just below the inner
corner oil her left eye, Nhlch ! Instantly re-
moved, aud found the skin underneath,
perfectly clean, smuolii and solid. Being
assured by Mrs. Prince that in II few mi
mites a lump of flesh, u bone soon would
follow, we caused her 10 sit down, and
examined the place with the piccst scruti- |

covered In precisely sixteen minutes,
lamp of clean flesh Niihont any mixture |
of blood, suddenly made its appearance on |
the outside of the skin, about the size of IA |
large bean, which Gen. Nicely instantly re-
moved, hen 10 hole nj aperture ~ TIM skin
could be discovered. In six minutes al
forwards solid pierr of bone, near one
eighth OF an inch square, suddenly made
ITS appearance ut the same place, which
beng Instantly removed, M hole OF aper-
ture IN the skin could Ire discovered. Pre-
ciscly fourteen minutes afterwards, II lump |
Of clean flesh, as large us the end of mans /
little finger TO the first Joint, suddenly APP |
poared at the same place, and in eight /
a.
as thick, and about the length aud width of
corn, when the incest scrutiny could not
discern any opening, or appearance of any
aperture from. whence those bones and
Jumps of flesh proceeded. Daring this
time Judge Emmerson came in, aud wit
uesscd the foregoing ficts with equal sur
prise. Ia This way it has continued up 10
The present Time ut intervals of from five
To twenty minutes, lnmps of clean flesh,

Il the instant those emissions take place Is
not chanF@4, nor can any appearance of a
singular kind whatever be observed. But
