Uoa Morrelious.-Tbe Petit Courier des Domes,

traordinary case which lately occurred i'm the De-

recesses
In the course of the last year she fell sick, and
was confined to her bed, and it was then that the
extraordinary and mysterious powers, which she
possessed, were most completely developed. There
were times when it was evident to those around her
that she heard the voices of persons addressing her
only when the voice was directed towards the ends
Of her fngers-Ar these times her eyes were closed
and after the crisis passed, she usually fell IN
state of insensibility-or catalipsey, resembling
death.
But what was stiH more singular at these times,
any person who entered the room could obtain clear
precise and satisfactory answers to every question
addressed to her. If one wishes to learn news of
friend or relative who absent, would without
hesitation give full and it afterwards appeared,

to her, she could read the writing, by passing her
fingers over the lines

The following very remarkable account is in
Blake's Family Cyclopedia, copied from the Cen
tlemen's Magazine for April 1880.
"Died, April 4th, at Totenham, John Ardesoif,
Esq. young of large fortune and in the splen-
dor of his carriages and horses rvalled by few
try gentlemen, His table that of hospitality,
where it may be said he sacrificed too much to
VITALITY. MIR. Ardesoif very fond of ck-fgh-
ting, and had favorite cock upon which he had
won many profitable matches. The last bet he
made upon the cock, he lost, which enraged him,
that he had the bird tied to spit and roasted alive
before large fire. The screams of the miserable
animal were affecting, that some gentlemen who
were present attempted to interfere which enrag
ed Mr. Ardesoif that he seized poker, and with
the most furious vehemence declared that he would
kill the first who interposed but, in the midst
of his passionate reservations, he fell down dead
upon the spot"

daughter, of rare beauty and accomplishments. A
secret attachment was formed between the young
lady and subatern officer of one of the regiments

it would soon be impossible to conceal The officer
went to the General made confession of the fault
he had committed and entreated to be allowed to
repair it by marriage, The offended but over hasty
father gave peremptory refusal and declared that
his daughter should be confined for life in a con-
vent. On learning this terrible resolution, the
happy young lady found means to procure some vi
triolic acid swallowed it, and destroyed herself.

grief and remorse, and calling the young officer to
him, offered to make him reparation for his cruel
loss by adopting him his son. and leaving him the
whole of his property. The spirited young man
rejected the proposal with indignation, retired his
lodging, and blew his brains out.

from her defunct estate by the interposition of a
power unknown to man. Whilst she had been a
mong the defunct, as she asserted, she had been
raised up to become the spiritual teacher of the
universe and to give salvation to mankind. Having
imposed upon hundreds home, she took up her
line of march for the West, and on an sthmus near
