Remarkable Circurslnnce.-UHch Dat'oF!
We are informed that o family by the name oil
Cash in the lower end of this county, or III INC
edoc of Rockingham, who are SAID 10 be qn'te To,
spectacle and in good circumstances, hnd conducted
themselves in so mysterious n manner, Tor SEVERN
months, as to excite good deal OF speculation an"
interest among their neighbors. During that pc
Rod il seems, they had carefully secluded them
selves from observation. No ono was allowed TO
enter their dwelling, could they be seen attend
ing to any of the business OF the farm or OIL
household. Things remained in this state until
abou, ten or twelve days ago, when few oil 'he'r
ne.h bors determined 10 unravel The mystery
Thcv went to the house, and admission being denl-
ed at the door, one Of the company was raised on
the shoulders Of another, so that he could look IN
,hrouoh the window when a scene was prcsen'-
cd which induced them at onceao force ar entrance
into the house. A corpse found lying on
bed in one corner of the room in most horr'd and
Disgusting state of putrefuciion /. proved to be
the BODY of Mrs Cash, who had evidently been
dead for weeks, If not mon,hs.-The old man had
pullct in the middle Of the floor, tho daughter
bed in another corner of the same room, ana
the son Ia Young man, was found up stairs. Tie
stencil was overpowerng and It is astonishing
that human beings could have survived for so long
a time in il. II was ascertained that the woman
had died about Christmas, and that she had
been kept by direction of Witch Doctor, (whosc
name we are sorry we have not heard,J under the
lcusiye expectation that she would come to life IN
a given period. Il is not improbable, too, that a
part of the villains prescription was, that the fam
ily should not suffer any one 10 see them IN the
me, IN time, les, his imposition mig ht be discovered
We understand that about year ago the family
took M the notion they were bewitchcd-t ha, their
minds became somewhat unsettled, and they of
course prepared to become an easy prey TO those
scoundrcs who designate themselves by the inla-
nous tile of Witch Doctors. We believe this is
a solution ofthc whole matter. The health of the
family is said Ia have suffered considerably, and
that their minds are in wrcfched state.
1t is presumed that the family must have attend
ed to the business of the farm after night, rs they
we,c never seen by day, and their cattle were in
fine order and a large quantity Of grain (say abou.
500 bushels twas found threshej out and cleaned
up. no.
Il, is stated in the New York American that such
has been the rccuracy of Judge Wtight's survey of

Surprising the following statement of,he New

most curious and bold on record;

" The Rev. Wilbur Fisk. the ACCOMPLISHED
President of the Methodist College, 1T Midtown,
Con some time since delivered an eloquent address
on the subject of Temperance. This address was
published and the Aboionsts took a copy, alter
ed the word temperance, wherever II occurred to
that of" Anti-savcry," and Otherwise changed and
garbled its phraseoogy to make the author
speak on a subject totally differently from TIE real
one, aud express sentiments directly opposite 10
those he entertained. This forged production was
published, and is now circulating in
order 10 impress the Mehodists in favor of i'm
mediate emancipation, under the notion that the
distinguished President of their University is an
advocate Of the projects of Tanpnn and Garrison.
They still persist IN circulating this document as
the genuine production of President Fisk notwiih-
standing the circumstance that the reverend gentle
man has dlsclamed its authorship in letter formal
ly written for the lions Herald"
A country paper. speaking OF the evil tendency
OF war, says that. among other things it :" raises
up crop Of heroes to clam all the Offices in the
country for twenty years afterwards" \ very
sensible remark.
