THE W0xAN VINO LIVE WITHOUT HATING

IN company with TWO ladies, and I'm.
der the escort Of Mr.. Faxon, visited this
anomaly ON Tuesday last, and will cndeav.
or TO describe what saw and heard on
the occasion.
On entering Mrs. Hays apartment, the
first object that met our eyes was a por.
ton of flesh Of transparent Wilderness,
partly sunk in the pillow of the bed, and
protruding from beneath the clothing
giving one the idea Of human body
terminated by & long neck instead Of a
head
On closer examination we found that
Mrs. Hays was in spasin, that although
reclining supine aud az full length, her
head was doubled back, and under her
neck, in such wise as to bring her face
in immediate contact with The pillow,
thus giving that awful appearance Of .
terminal hcadstalk that so startled Us at
the first sight. Al this time there was
no outward sign Of respiration, the only
motion Of the person visible being a
twitching of The left shorldcr. While
we were observing her in this condition
she suddenly brought her head forward
with a powerful motion of the muscles
Of the neck, and commenced throwing the
upper portion of her body abou. in the
most violent manner, bringing her head
down TO the bed at each CONFUSION with
force sufficient 70 have broken il had
il met with hard subsistence. These
motions continued for ncarlv a minnie
and ended temporarily by her throwing
herself hack an tho nillow with b.r head
PARTIALLY doubled nnaer Nv his tim
she had recovered her breath which she
1rc,s with short and onicklv successive
snasmodic efforts THE condition was
immediately fnllowci bx the most vim.
