CINoGNNATI ITEMs,-W We learn from the
Gazette of the 9th that Loefner, the murder
er, grows rapidly better he can eat solid
food without difficulty, and seems in excel.
lent spirits. His rapid recovery is said to be
owing entirely to his obstinate persistence in
refusing to take any medicine whatever.
A beautiful German girl, named Hannah
Rootman, was taken to the hospital on the
9th, raving maniac, from disappointment in
love. She had been engaged to one of her
countrymen for some months, and had fully
expected to become his wife, when her father
informed her last Saturday that she should
not marry. Upon the announcement, she
fell, as IT struck by lightning. to the floor, and
1t was with much difficulty that she was re-
stored 10 consciousness. She then began
raying frightfully, and with cries, screams,
groans, tears, and lamentations, startled the
entire neighborhood where she resided. At
the hospital, 1t was necessary to give her
chlorotorm to keep her quiet. and she had to
oe pound to prevent her from committing SUI
icide.
