A REPORTED MlRAcLE.-We are moi yet
beyond The pseudo-supernalural, even in the
presen, enlightened uge. A reported mira
Gle has been going forward for the last few
weeks, in small village in Suffolk, Eng
land, in the person Of a lille girl of Twelve
years of age who is declared TO have tasted
entirely from meat and drink for about six
teen weeks. All The wise men in the neigh
borhood have been in commotion on the
subject, and TWO sells Of watchers have been
appointed 10 investigate the affair. The
girl is said TO be supernalurally clever, and
much given to deliver spiritual revelations
and exhorlatons to those around. One set
OF watchers have declared against her, while
The others maintain the truth Of her prelen'
sions no less strenuously, and especially that
she takes neither foo6 nor drink. The case
is remarkable, and there is no doubt The EesN
ing has been carried on in this case TO sur.
prising extent, albeit such instances are not
unprecedented. .

Consul General for the country, subscribed
and paid $4,000 for The expenses oil the
Locoloco party in carrying The election In
New York city. Several other foreign lua'
por,ers and capitalists, also speat large sums
for the same purpose! There is pretty clear
evidence that this money was furnished oy
foreign manufacturers for this object. Did
