FATAL EFFEcrs OF FEAR.-For somc

FATAL EFFECTS OF FEAR.-For some
years an aged couple resided at No. 5.
Union Place, Fulham Road near Lon
don. The husband had been bed-ridden
for the last two years. AS the wife was
sitting in the parlor she was Mortified
at beholding, as she considered, her hus-
bands ghost walk into the room, for it
was considered by all-even his medi-
cal attendantt-that he could not get
out of bed, much less walk down stairs.
Her screams having attracted the atten-
ton of the neighbors, they rushed in,
when they discovered the poor creature
in almost an unconscious state, while
the husband was walking about in a de-
lirious condition. The husband having
been carried back to his bed, medical aid
was called to his unfortunate wife, who
continued under the fearful delusion that
she had seen his spirit, and notwith-
standing the most prompt treatment on
the part of the medical gentlemen she
expired shortly afterward, her husbands
death taking place a few hours previous
ly 1t appeared that the husband, be-
ing seized with temporary delirium,
sufficient strength during the fit
to arise from his bed and proceed down
stairs. A subsequent post mortem ex-
animation of his wife's body proved that
death resulted from prostration, conse-
quent on fright.

MEDICAL NOTICES.

A Wonderful Discovery has recently been made
by DR.. Curtis, Of this city, in the treatment of con
sumption, asthma, and all diseases of the lungs
We refer to DIR. Curtis's Hygean or. Inhaliug Hy
gean Vapor and cherry syrup" Within this new
method the Dr.. has restored many afflicted ones to
perfect health IS an evidence OF which he has
innumerable certificates. Speaking of the treat
ment a physician remarks:-It is evident that in
vapor, the medicinal properties must come in di
rect contract with the whole of the eriai cavity
of the lungs, and thus escape the many and varied
changes produced upon them when introduced in
to the stomach. and subject to the process OF di-
%gestion. The Hygeanais for sale at all the drug

MORMON BANDIrrr.-It appears that
a very large and daring band of thieves
are perpetrating systematic outrages in
Northern Illinois, breaking into houses,
and taking provisions, money and vari-
GUS other articles. On Sunday night
they broke into the house of Mr.. Emery,
at HayncsyiIle, carrying off money, etc.
In their hasty flight, they left . letter,
purporting to be from one of the gang
to his wife, in which the successes and
adventure of the company are communi-
Gated. 1t states that their rendezvous
is eighty miles from Chicago, and thirty
miles from Vorce. From the fact Vorce
is the name of an old Mormon settle
ment, near Burlington, Wisconsin, aban--
doned some years ago, for Beaver Is
land, it is conjectured that the gang is
composed of Mormons from hat Island,
who are thus collecting a store of pro-
visions, etc, which are probably brought
to some lake port and shipped.-W au-
