RE-The Mount Gilead Sentinel says, Mrs.
Burnoy living near Frecport, Harrison county,
Ohio, has for the last seven years, at certain
hour every other Sunday morning, been seized
with slight convultions for few moments,
when she takes a text, and delivers a discourse
full of good wholesome Bible doctrine When
she recovers which is soon after her sermon
is finished-she converses nationally, and says
she has no knowledge af what has transPred.
Mrs. B. is a perfectly respectable lady, OF good
standing among her neighbors, and at each
meeting" has as large an audience as her
house will contain. As yet, no balm in Giead
"has been found to reach this singular case"
no physician there successfully to minister to a
mind diseased"
We have frequently heard of this case and
have no doubt Of the truth Of the foregoing
statement. We aie acquainted with most o
the brothers and sisters OF the lady, and have
often heard them, and many others speak o.
the matter, substantially as it is referred tc
above.
She belongs to one of the most respectable
families in Harrison county

ExurISG SGENE.-One Of the clerks in the
foreign letter department Of the Post Office,
was arrested Yesterday morning by special
Post Office agent and one Of the assistants
charged with embtzzlng letters containing
money. The accused had been suspected OF
having committed such offence, and about nine
o'clock Yesterday morning, Mr.. Halleu went
into the foreign lettes department and told the
accused that the Postmaster wished to see nm
Immediately. The accused said "veTy well,
he would 90 up 10 his room in a few minutes.
Mr.. Hullett said he wished him tO go at once
with him. when the accused made some excuse
and became much confused. In an instant he
rushed out at the door and ran up Nassau street,
where he was captured by Mr.. Hallett and sew
eral other persons, who had given chase. An
immense crowd collected about the prisoner
and for while he afforded a strange e1hlol-
ton TO the spectators. He was taken to The
Office of the Chief of Police, and from thence 10

was detained. 1t was stated that letters con

him, laid the plans accordingly, and was an
eye witness to pyrpetralion of the depreda'

Rossie was at once put in custody OF the Y

day. This detection is very important one,
and reflects credit on the U. S. Post Office

The office seekers under the incoming Ad-

mond Examiner (Democratic) estimates the
number already engaged in the scramble IL,
100000. Tho Examiner says:
"Thc distribution of place by Mr. Pierce
will be the most troublesome and delicate
duty that any Chief Magistrate has ever been
called upon to perform. lie has been carried
into power by the temporary union of all
factions and cliqucs. There is not man in
all the immense mass who has feud with him,
or who has n reason to believe that others
will be preferred before him. Hence the
number of oflice-scekers who look to this
administration is something unparalleled
hitherto in political arithmetic. Every men,
Der Of Congress has half a dozen constituents

hungry has enriched all the hotels in WASH

at first sight. At noon they crowd the gal
lcries of the Senate and the House; and in the
dusk of the evening their large and haggard
eyes gleam classify on the piazzas of the
hotels, like those Of hyenas in an Eastern
graveyard. No pitch Of degradation are they
not ready for-no amount of cold shouldcring

an eloquent tribute to the philosopher
"Not the half Of Fianklin's merits have

American Union. 1t was he who went forth
te lay the foundation Of that great design at
Albany; and in New-York he lifted up his
voice. Here among US he appeared as the
apostle of the Union. It was Franklin who
snggested the Corgre.s Of l774, and but for
his wisdom, and the confidence that wisdom
inspired, it is q matter of doubt whether that
Congress would have taken effect. It was
Franklin who suggested the bond Of the Un-

Maine. Franklin was the greatest diploma

spoke word too soon; he never spoke a
word too late; he never spoke word too
much; he never failed TO speak the right
