The Plymouth pilot. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1851-1852, 1851-10-01

storm man named Rae burn, residing in
The Croft, Paisley, was struck dumb.
Raeourn. it appears was standing near
window, when one Of the flashes OF light
ming. more vivid than usual, had such an
effect on his organs of speech that he
could not articnlate syllable. The adj
vice of several medical gentlemen was
0 btained, but all to no purpose, and what
was strangest Of all, no hur: or defect
w ha tever could be observed. Next day,
Raeburn was advised to try what galvan-
is M could effect in his case, and he at
once proceeded to Mr.. Ferguson's galva
mic operating rooms. in Sheldon street.
Here, after the application for few
minutes TO his neck, ne was able to ar
,iculate one or two syllables. His joy
at this, it may be imagined, was very
great, and we are happy to say that, af-
ter six applications from the galvanic APP
paratus, his speech has all but recovered
its former fuency. Raeburn is about %
years Of age, and all that he felt at the
time he was struck dumb, was kind of
a giddy feeling for about a minnie.

sentenced to be hung on the 10th of Oc-

her body on piles of wood and brush in
the field; and three small pieces of her
bones, which were found. were the prin

his sentence, he has made full confes-
sion Of the crime.
