EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ELECTnrCAL
EHc,TEMENT.--Dr. Hosford, of Oxford,
New Hampshire, r;latcs, in the last num-
her of Sillimans Journal, tho case Of n lady
III that town, who became IInconsciously
charged with electricity, at the time Of the
occurrence of All unusual aurora borcaIis,
on the 25th Of Jan. 1887 This extraordi-
nary state continued until the middle of the
following May, during most of which time
she was capable Of giving electrical sparks
to every conducting body within the sphere
OF her electrical influence. When her finger
was brought within one sixteenth of an inch
OF Il metallic body, spark that was heard
seen, and felt, passed every secoml.-
When seated mOtionless, with her feet on
HE iron stove hearth, three or four sparks
per miuuic would pass to the stove, not
wIihstanding the insulation Of shoes aud silk
hosiery. When most fnvorably circum-
stanccd, four sparks per minute Of one inch
and half would pass from the end of her
finger 10 a brass hall on the stove; these
were quite brilliant, distinctly seen and
heard in any part Of large room, and
sharply felt when they passed to another
person. These experiments were so often
repeated that there was no doubt left of
their actual occurrence. The lady had no
internal evidence Of this faculty, which was
only manifested TO her when The sparks left
her. Her health had never been good, tho
she had seldom been confined to her bed.
She had suffered much from unscatcd ncu-
ralSia in various parts OF her system, for
some mouths previous to her electrical
devclopcmcnt. Her health is now better

THE WEEKLY PICAYUNE,
In consequence of the popularity which
our daily paper has gained in all sections
OF the country, and the numerous de.
mands we are receiving from all quarters
for weekly journal, we have determined
on starting one Of that description, to be
entitled the "THE WEEKLY PIcAYuNE."
10 adopt the same fgurative style used
IN our first prospectus, we have fitted out
the "Picdytne" for more distant voyages,
and freighted her with all sorts of notions
IN the shape Of readableS; and ifthe same
success attends her which she has met
with while coastlng nearer home, we shall
doubtless receive rich returns.
To prepare our little craft for the more
extended sea on which she is destined 10
move, we have put on her many additions
and improvements. Some of her old tim.
oers have been taken out and replaced by
lew-she has greater measurement fore
md ait, greater length Of beam, and her
meets have been materially enlarged.
Notwithstanding the increased size, the

II has been rumored, that the burial OF

the community; and some have been indu.
eed to believe that he is actually alive.
So unnatural an act, would not only be
calculated to darken the memory of my
departed parent, whom | at least hoped
charity would now suffer to rest in peace,
but such an act could not fail to draw down
public odium upon the character of his
sons who survive him.
