old bachelors no "great shakes" and that to

LIVING WITHOUT EATING OR DRINKING.--T The
following d, scriptIon Of the most remarkable in
stance of living without food or drink, We ex-
tract from letter written BY Rev. E. f. Platt,
of Toledo, and published in the Blade e
have published Offices of this wonderful phe-
nomenon heretofore.
Perhaps you have heard of the "woman who
lives without eating" | called to see her, at
Chester. 1t is now something over two years
since she has taken a particle of food, aud IL
months since she has so much as tasted water.
On several occasions she has been over all hours
time without pulse or sensible action of the
heart. She was in sort of convulsion, when |
saw her, and to remain in her room is most dis
tressing. No one with weak nerves should make
the experiment. She is constantly agitated,
and uttering groans, painful to all within hear
ing, She has lost all reason--does not know
her husband or children--and her skin is as
white and fair as that of a child. Yet she can
scarcely be called woman, but simply an or
ganiza tion capable of suffering. Her husband is
a simple, inoffensve man, and is altogether in.
capable Of perpetratng a fraud or imposition
upon the public. Her room is always accPssa-
BILE to the public. The neighbors enter and leave
whenever they please.
TT may perhaps be proper for me to say that
am we'll acquainted with the people in the vi
cinity, and they generally believe the case to be
as above stated. e that there is no inn osi-
ton practiced. | have met two or three per-
sons who believe that she is bewitched" and
as in oIden times, point out the guilty party
Whether they propose the "fames" am not in

visited her without, however, offering any cx-
planaion / have made quite note upon his
subj ct, To W, ich at FIRST only designed to re-
fer, but reoly a woman living between two and
three years without food, is an affair so strange
as to awaken the attention, al least, ol the curt
