EXTRAORDINARY CAsE.--We find the
following extraordinary case in the Lancet
lofSaturday se'nnight, were it is published on
the authority of Mr.. Hoare, NJ. r. G. S. of
Warminstcr. The wife OF Mr.. Higgins, a
farmer, Of Baltonsoorough, near Glas-
tonbury, (SomerseU having brought him
three daughters in succession, and no
son, he was so Disconnected at the repeated
disappointment, that he vowed, should his
next child be a daughter, he would never
speak to her. On the approach Of his wife's
fourth confinement, he repeated this vow.
TO his great joy, his wife gave birth TO SON,
and othing occurred to lessen his satsfac.

while the boy would readily address his mo- mo-
ther ind sisters. and, indeed, any female, moth.
ing could induce him to utter word to his
father, or any male person. This singuarity
continued during the whole Of his fathers
life go years. entreates, threats, and prom
ises, were oe no avail and the unhappy man
frequently bewai!ed. with tears, the distres
sing consequences of this rash vow. On the
death Of Mr.. Higgins, which happened about
two months since, the young man to the as
tonishmont Of oil who knew him. began to
speak fuently 10 males as well as females,
although for thirty years previously no had
never been heard to utter word TO any oi
the former sex. Mr.. Higgins had no other
son. The young man is in good health, ant
is ready, as are his mother and sisters, anC
many other respectable persons, to attest tho
truth OF this narrative.
