THE nIsToRY OF A GLurroN.

An incredible gluten: Joseph Krolonicker,
died at Hefeld in the year 177l, (born at
Passau) who has shown his rapacty for gor-
mandizing in many houses at Hanover. This
wonderful man as early as his third year ale
stones 10 appease his hunger. His parents,
and even his grandmother had been stone.
eaters. According to the judicial declars.
ton of his wife, he was never satisfied except
when he mixed stones with his food, of
which ne had constantly supply about him.
Yes, he was once about going 10 Holland,
and having heard that stones were not plenty
there, he took several hundred weight with
him. This man was always hungry, and
therefore ate The whole night The longest
interval from safety 10 hunger again, was
one hour and half He was able TO con.
sumo at one meal seventeen herring, and as
many quarts Of beer without taking into the
account an equal PARTON of bread. At one
time he ate two calves one boiled, the other
roasted, in the space of eight hours At
Brunswick, he ate al the castle, twenty-five
pounds Of roasted beef besides having eaten
| before FIVE portions in relectory. He also
ate other things, such as metals and felt, yet
he would not cal catfish. towards which hs
had IN unconQueTable aversion. Krolonicker
who was in his youiha soldier, when quarter.
ed, on account Of his unheard Of appetite,
was counted as eight men. It is wonderful,
but his passion for eating saved his life for
in an engagement he was struck by bullet
in the abdomen, but this being full of stones,
the ball rebounded, and he was but slightly
wounded. After his death it was found by
/ dissection, that his bowels contained mul.
titude Of metals and some flesh also pound
/ and half of stones.

Sumpter replies, as he presses his hand
warmly. 81 would not thwart your holy

Those in the fort see them advancing,

the road; but they do not pause or quail

ders are planted firmly against the wallis
Now they mount them rapidly-James

comrades. ... '." ...7.
"Bravo, my men, bravo" cries Sump-
ter, as he, too surmounts the ramparts and
takes a part in the affray. Gone charge
more, and the fort is ours"
That charge is made boldly and vigor-
ously, and the flag comes ratting down
from the tall fiag-staf:-the foe cry for
quarters, and the fort is surrendered. A
few moments afterwards, James Willard
unlocks the dungeon doors with his own
hand, and rushes to the arms of his brother
and father. .
"There is your saviour'' he cries as he
points to General Sumpter, who has just
entered the doorway to participate in the
Joy of his young friend. "There is the
boast and the hope of South Cardinal"
