Own EIaprEEs MONTHS WITHOUT EATING OR
Observation-Disclosures to the Of the woman Mrs.
Hayes of the town Of Day, Saratoga County Of whom
it is said che has lived nineteen months without
eating morsel of food and whose death was recently
announced in one of the papers Of Albany, The Sandy
Hill Herald has the following
Mrs Hayes is not dead but remains in tho condSs
ton in which che has been for many months past IN
credible it may SEEM there is little, any doao,
but that this woman has lived for than eighteen
months without eating drinking. We have not al
uded to the before for the reason OF its apparent
ncredibily; but scientific gentlemen, together with
hundreds ofother after the closest scrutiny, have be-
convinced that there is deception practiced
and that the actually subss;s without food or
water. In order TO test the matter gentleman took
the 10 his residence, and parties watched her
day and night for month"; who say that she neither
ate drank during that time, and that on food being
introduced into the roOm concealed in the pockets or
dsnterested persons, the woman would Immediately
90 into horrible commissions The same effect was pro-
duced by persons taking tobacco or any KIND OF ardent
spirits, where she was. The woman is reduced to q
perfect skeleton much that by placing the hand
upon the abdomen the backbone can be distncfy
felt We are aware that there instances record
somewhat akin 70 this, which turned out 70 be aads;
but this deception, has been 60 sdroity Prsc-
ticed that every one who has examined it has been
duped Besides, there is motive for the deceptons
and is quite incredible that any person would svner
to the extent that this has for the sole purpose
Of playing upon the credulity of the public. Viewed in
any light the subject is worthy OF the attention Oh

FIESDIsH OUrRAGE.-We learn that an outrage
of most fendsh character, almost too horrioic ana
revolving to be chroniced occurred in Florence, KY,
about twenty miles from Coyingon, Thursday last.D
In the afternoon of that day, little girl about six
wears of age the daughter Of Jos. Bryant, esq, OF
Florence, was missing from the house, shd notwith-
standing diligent search made could nowhere %
found. The neighborhood was aroused and the wells
and streams examined, but the search was frutIess,
suggested that she might have fallen into well that
was not used at some distance from the house
Thither the party proceeded, and were hori6ed 70
find the brains and blood Of the little girl scattered
about the top OF the well! ........ B.
Search was Immediately made in the water, when
the body brought to surface and most painful
spectacle presented. The child had been violated,
her head crushed in most inhuman manner, and the
skull nearly emptied of the brans which were found
scattered Ibout the well Those who were present
say that the sight presented was OF the most horrible
description. N
search suspicion fastened upon the negro boy, who
suggested making an examination OF the wen where
the body was found, and accusing him Of the l
ted the person Of the little girl beat her brains out,
and then thrown the body into the well to cover up
the crime. When the fact became known in tho I
neehborhood the people assembled in large numbers,
and proposed hang the negro on the spot and tho
excitement was so great that it was with diff
Guilty be could be kept out OF the hands Of the nfu-
rated crowd, who were determined TO wreak sum
mary vengeance upon the murderer. Cooler counselo
prevailed, however, and the more moderate Of tho
populace finally succeeded in getting possession Of the
negro and handing him to the civil authorities
lie then conveyed to the jail by strong guard,
and securely confined and ironed. (Cin. Daily GsI.
