CRIME-sINGULAR CASE.

A singular cnse either Of mental malady
or Of crime. lately occurred in Wyoming
county, Penn, as narrated by cOrresp"n-
dent Of a Philadelphia paper. Over a
year since, the wife Of much respected
and wealthy citizen was charged with theft,
Tho accuser and the accused were both
members of tho same church. and both Of
unbIemished EeputaliOn. A slander suit
WAS commenced, but withdrawn through
the interference Of mutual friends. The
church then took up the matter, and after
a fall organization, censured tho accuser
for milking false accusation, and expelled
her from communion. She then went
b:fore the Gland Jury and made I'm ear.
nest effort to procure an indictment, but
the Jury ignored the bill. So the matter
remained tor some time-the ed ms
tilted. and the accuser resting under the
imputation Of Pc Jury. After the complete
triumph, the accused party, influenced
probably by the goadiRgs Of guilty con-
science, voluntarily came forward ani
confessed the truth Of the charge! Nor
this only. She also confessed that she had
for years hsen in the habit Of plfering.-
Though well educated. and possessed Vt
ample means to crafty her desires, she
stele to crafty an irresistible passion--de-
strOying what she stole Immediately afer
the act. While this practice was going
on, she was haunted with the keeaes.
sense Of the sin, and before going into pla-
Cos Of templo,ion, she. used to retire TO her
closet aud on her knees implore Heaven
to subdae her propensity. but still perp->
trated the crime. On this confession, the
afflicted husband made restitution to all
the sufferers.

correspondent alluded to. We have met
