STARTLING MEsMERIc EFFEcTs.-The John
son mich Citizen, of last week, says: DR..
Samuel P. Hart, was tried in the Circuit
Court, Judge johnson, for committing rape
on the person of Miss Caroline Church He
was convicted and sentenced to ten years im
prisonment in the State Prison 1t appears
from the evidence that Miss Church was be-
ing magnetized by the defendant, for a para
lysis of one limb and an arm Some nine
months subsequent she was delivered of a
child. She swore that she did not know whose
child it was-that she never had had inter
course with any man, to her knowledge; and
that she did not know her situation until con-
fined. The parents of the girl swore that
young men did not visit her, and that the de-
PENDANT had ample opportunity to commit the
offence. The people also introduced two gen.
tiemsn who have been in the habit of mag
netizing persons, who testi fed that person
could be magnetized so as to be unconscious.
The trial lasted two days. A. Blair appear
ed for the people, and S. C. Wood for the de-
fence.

Rail Road Accident,

On Tuesday last, as the return train
of Cars from IIamden, was nearing this
place, and whilst turning the heavy curve
Just below E,quire Wards Residence,
the Locomotive ran off the track and was
thrown with such force against the rocks
on the bill side, as to make complete
wreck OF her, smashing the machinery in
a dreadful manner, throwing wheels and
other portions OF the Engine, in all direc-
tons. The Engineer, Mr., Burns, was
thrown some distance from her, and very
miracuC u ly ped an awful dralh;-
he was but slightly injured. Tae tender
was thrown off the track, making a COM
pete somerset. This will probably be
the last Of the Betsy" well it should be,
for sac has done ALL her DUTY long
ago, and should be turned Om TO die,
before she turns out human beings to be
kil}ed before their time.
A fine OLD Engine this "BETsY" was,
She could pull a a might trail,
Great 5 the pity there are no laws,
For those killed when riding on Rail.
