STRANGE PARoxysM There isuow living In Har-
rison county, Ohio, says the Carol Free Press,
married lazy, who breaches a sermon al her resi-
dence every other Sabbath day. When the preach
ing paroxysm comes on her, she prays, re ads text
OF Scripture without the book, and explains II in
rather sensible and eloquent manner, the dis
course frequently occupying from two to two anu
halt hours. While the paroxysm Is on, she is wholly
nsenslble 10 all surrounding objects, but readily re-
fers TO subjects discussed by her in pre- vious dis
courses. She has preached we understand,
nearly one hundred sermons, perlodicaly-that 49,
one every two weeks, commencing each about the
same hour OF the day. So soon as her sermon is
Mashed the natural exercise OF her faculties seems
10 lie restored, she resumes her ordinary domestic
duties, and is entirely unconscious OF any thing she
may have said OF done during the delivery of the
DISCOURSE In TACT she does not know that she
breaches at all, except while she is engaged in her
discourse.

through the woods TO JOIN her, and soon lost her
way. When missed, her cousins, two lads set of

walk, and much less exhausted than might have
been supposed, having sustained herself by eating
