1'Ob't,
Before leaving Ashevie. for this place, made
several interesting excursions from the village,
one or two of which NAV furnish materials for a
letter. My first excursion was to visit an unfor-
tlnate female, in humble life residing at the dis
lance Of ii miles from Asheve, utterly destitute
of limbs, and composed only Of head and trunk
Her name is Esther Massey; and she is one o
an illegitimate family of ii children. Her father
has also legitimate wife and family of 10 chill
dren, and the two families, with their respective
matrons, are said to meet with cordidllty. This
singular being was born in her present limblcss
condition, and has now attained the age Of %
years. Her mother and Whole family appear TO
regard her with much tenderness and affection.
and she seems to possess cheerful and happy
disposition, which renders her content with the
helpless and apparently hapcss lot which nature
has awarded her. Although an object calculated
40 excite the wonder, and rouse the sympathies OF
her fellow beings, many, who enjoy the full pro-
portions OF humanity, and boun,iful dspensa-
aion Of the good things of life, will find their un-
grateful and guilty repinings shamed by the equa-
nimty and cheerful spirit of this physically in-
perfect creature, in the midst of prvation and
poverty. have already said that she is COM
posed of mere head and trunk This is literally
true. She has 70 arms, and neither leys nor
thighs Her shoulders are rounded off, and ca
pable of molten; and on them she receives the
CUTS which charity or kindness Droffers her. She
is also able to move about on level with kind
ol waddl>hg tRotion. Her usual position is that
ef sitting, or rather standing upright in a com
mon char, by rocking which from side to side.
she moves about with great facility. She is able
to read and Tor this purpose places the book on
her shoulder, or (Which she prefers on table
before her, and turns over the leaves with her
tongue. Her health has always been excellent,
and her mother says, she has never had occasion
for the services Of physician; and althsugh she
seldom leaves the house, and therefore takes bu
little exercise, she is now in the finest and mos
robust health, and is SO fat, that her body (whici
Is largely proportioned) is as broad as it is long
Her head is very large, and her features arc alst
large and somewhat coarse, yet decidedly good
and forming very agreeable tout enscmJle-
and her lip is absolutely pretty, and Of the rich

and chatty, and even witty, it is said she possesses

She received the party who visited in conpan,
