A SAD CasE.-The insanity of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry c.. Peck, at Providence, R. L..
and the consequent death of the latter, as
the result of over excitement in religion, is a
very sad affair. The Providence Post CIV
ing an account of circumstances previous to
Mrs. Peek's death contains the following:
Both of them haye felt much interest in
the revival now progressing here, and re-
Gently have allowed religious subjects to
press SO constantly upon their thoughts as
to prevent them from eating or sleeping
both of them have manifested unmistakable
of insanity, and Mr.. Peck when not
under the Influence of e~hloroferm, has had to
be hand-enffed to prevent him from injuring
himself and those about him. Mrs, Peck as
is usual IN such cases, believed that God had
commanded her to fast, and thus refused
food for several days, save on n or two oc-
c~asions. She also Imagined that her chill
dren had been commanded TO fast; and in
sisted that they should refuse food, and was
50 reckless in her chast:sement of them
when they ~disobeyed her, that she had also
10 be confined.
A DISTRESSING CALAM1TY.-Mr. Daniel
.onlstoek's house in LIE Roy, Jefferson
county, N. Y, was burned a few nights
since, and himself and four children, the ED
ten years persisted in the flames. The
correspondent of the New York Times says
The fire was owing to a key of ashes in the
wood house. The father and children were
n one room on the ground floor, and instead
IF opening the window and getting out as he
have done, he ran up stairs TO get his
BOX of Valuables and left his children to per-
sh, and his cwn bones were found after the
ire lying across his box ofmoney where be
ind il had fallen.
The mother was absent at Auburn where
The had gone for medical treatment. A let
er came he morning after the fire, from
Ter which reads as follows:
"MY DEAR ONE AT HoME: You win all
De surprised, and | trust, like me, You will
De jeyfuily~ surprised, when / tell you that |

{ think I~see you all looking very
lappy, when pa reads this toyou. Be good

The Auburn Advertiser says that the an
-uish of the mother when she heard that her
whole famliy had been swept away was ter
ible, and can only be imagined.
