There Is "a curious case related of a
man who was a well known character.
ana man OF sense--where is was said
nc used to see great number Of people
IN the room with him. Now he himself
has described the whole phenomenon,
and the adjuncts TO il. He hns said tba,
after taking cup Of coffee, or tea, or so
on, tho came into his room in grea. num-
bers, and as ho got better, and less ner-
vous he has only seen The arms and legs
of The persons without seeing any part
Of them. Now, this is all an irregular
action Of the rciina Of the eye. A gen.
'leman sitting in his library one day,
reading oi writing, on turning round his
head, saw, sitting in a chair, a W..
IN red cloak. And ;1

was made. You hayo no right to be

notice of him. lie got up and rang the
bell for n servant. The servant came
IN. Turn this woman out. What wo-
man. sir! Why the woman in the red
cloak. There's no woman, nor any red
cloak, sir. Well go and fetcl, the doc
tor for me: tell him that | am i'll, and
wish TO speak with him. The man,
however, was not TO be frightened ut
this, because he knew il was delusion
Of sight. Now, ! have had il SO often
that it has been rather matter Of A.
musemont TO me than any thing else. /
have stood before u glass, and seen tho
upper part Of my head and eyes, and
nose very distinctly bu, l never saw
tha, l had any mouth or jaw and I
have seen my shoulders very we'll but all
was black between my nose aud shoui-
dors. Why now, say, what can you
make of this but that it is error of action
or in activity in tie parts Of the retina !

OBITUARY.-Died,in Fauquier County, on
the 10th inst, Mrs EMILY ELIzBAETH BRADFORD,
Consort of Col. Benjamin R. Bradford, and
daughter of Maj. Josiah Massie, of inchester,
in the 23d year Of her age. L he subject Of this
notice was few months since in the bloom of
youth and beauty, enjoying all the blessings of
independent circumstances most amiable
and affectionate disposition-admi and
esteem as extensive as her acquaintance-to-
gether with domestic happiness endeared by
strong, tender, and reciprocal attachments
But while surrounded with such prospects of
felicity, the cold hand Of consumption was laid
upon her. and those Streams of pleasure and de-
light of which she was at once the centre and
the source, have beensfrozen at their fountain.
All that was mortal now slumbers in the dust.
But, from the purity Of her lile-the Christian
calmness and resignation of her death We may
indulge the fond, the confident anticipation that
her immortal spirit has been called home to glo-
ny, to reap the reward of virtue in another and
a better world.

C0fee-The supplies since our last have been
very moderate, nor may we expect much for
six weeks or two months; for besides the bad

the article has been on hand, have tended to
discolor in some degree the old. Our stock is
1000 bags,-for 5000 of which 3I5OO was yester-
day refused, and $1,000 for 1000 bags Of very
good old Coloury. Of the above stock 5000
bags are new Sierra Abaixo:-the bean is small

~ TEMPERANCE MEETING.-The meeting of

notified to be held on the 4th of July, having, in
consequence of the heavy freshets in the ada
cent streams at the time, failed to take place, it
is now appointed to be held on Thursday. the

two days on which Fair is to be held in the

there is reason to expect that the meeting will
be very large and highly interesting. jyl ID
is A FAIR will be held in Piscataway on the
23d and oath instant by the ladies thereof and
its vicinity, when variety of useful and orna-
mental articles. with an accompaniment of suit
able refreshments, will be exhibited for sale.
The object is to raise funds, to add to the amount
already in hand, designed to be applied to the
purchase ola Parsonage. All whose sentiments
and tastes incline them to participate in scenes
at once innocent and gay, and conducive alike
to amusement and utility, as well as those who
take interest in the subject, are cordially in
vited to attend. To those who delight to do two
things at once, or to effect two objects by sin
gle means,-in common parlance, to kill two
birds with one stone.-an opportunity will thus
be afforded in the first place, to get the worth
of their money in some useful or desirable arti
Gle, and at the same time to contribute to the
promotion of an object of great public benefit.
