Az ExFRAoRDGxARY CASA murder recent
| " committed atNeWburgh, in the county of
/ Of New York, has developed soma extraordinary
circumstance tending to discFedit the reliability
( OF clrenmstantial evidence The body Of 4
young woman stripped Of all bnt the under
clothing, evidently murdered, was found in an
open field IL was recognized as that of Sarah
c. Bloom by several persons among whom was
her own sister who identified it by certain
marks OF pecullATiHes. On the strength of this
Identification young man who had last been
seen in the company of Miss Bloom was arrest-
ed, and suspicion dsalready building up against
him charge of murder. founded Upon what APP
peared TO be pretty conclusive circumstantiaI
evidence But at this crisis Miss Bloom appear.
ed. herself and Of course put an end 10 the sup
position that she had been murdered The most
curious part Of the case mas the remarkable.Fe-
semblance between Miss Sarah Bloom and the
body supposed to have been hers The points
of resemblance are described as follows:
The body had scar on the LEFT eyebrow pre-
cisely where Sarah has one; the body had cut
on the main finger of the left hand, precisely
where Sarah has one of the same character; the
body has small black mole about half way be-
tween the ankle and the knee on the shin bone
exactly where Sarah has one; but strangest OF.
ALL the body has two toes of the left foot grown
together, precisely like Sarah's, except that Sa-
rah's are not grown together 50 Ear down on the
Joint; the toes of both feet of the body like Sa-
rah's, were pressed together from wearing tight
shoes, and Sarah wears coral ring on lust the
finger from which on the corpse ring had been
stripped. These facts, connected with Sarah's
absence, the curious story of jenkins as to where
he had left her, the incident of her going in a
direction where she did not hear of the discoy-
cry OF the body, and was not herself heard
from for four days, combined to make probably
one Of the strongest cases of Circumstantial evi-
dence against Jenkins that could well be con-
ceived.

lNsANrTY FROM SPTRrTUALIsN.-The Chicago
papers relate singular case of insanity from
spiritualism resulting IN death An old lady,
tfly.live years of age, became spiritualist and
amedium. She attended several ''circles," and
at astprUfessed to have received an order not
to eat nor drink, and commenced obeying the
order. Her friends sent her to Chicago, where
physicians and clergymen were called to visit
her, but TO no purpose. Mediums were also
called to see her, but could effect nothing
Two OF three times some rice water was fore
ed down her throat; but she wasted away till
Sunday evening, the 26th ulE, when she died.
A day or two before she died, some meat was
being stewed in the kitchen, the smell of which
attracted her attention, and turning to her
daughter-in-law, she said, THAT is very tempt.
ing, but dare not touch 1t" Her friends at
that time, thinking she was giving way in her
resolutions. again demonstrated with her, but
again they failed to dissuade her from her
course. What is more wonderful in this case
is, that during all this time she appeared per
fectly sane and Ciear-minded, talked quite
naturally, and was frank and free in her
conversation on the subjects of her commands
from on high" For fRsee secls she abstaiDed
almost entirely from food, and for the last nine
days of her life she HeithsF ate nor drnuk any
thing. She frequently talked of going to her
spirit home, and Of her future life.
