\ SINGULAR CASE OF STIMULATION Exposure
IN THE STATE Prison. The ingenuity OF some
convicts in our State Prision in attempts to
deceive the officers with view to avoid labor,
or in the hope of securing pardon or removal
to other institutions. is remarkable. Quite
a.common mode is to pretend insanity, or
intbecillty, or sickness. Not many years
since convict for a long period affected id
iocy, and successfully maintained the char
acter, until by chance he was detected, when
he confessed that he had pr;icticed the impos-
ture, surprising he might be sent to some
.Amshouse or Hospital where his chances
for escape would be increased.
A singular case ofsimulation and exposure
has Just TRANSFERRED. \ convict now Is years
old, sentenced in December, 1851, for eight
years, has for Il months past been in the
State Prison Hospital. nearly all the time ~
ing upon his back in bed, because. as he said.
he was SO weak in his back and limbs that he
could not sit up or walk, and when urged to
do 81, his attempts were most painful to wit
ness. He also used various means to indicate
avery diseased condition OF the lungs and
Of his system generally. He had been re-
peatetlly examined by the most experienced
physicians, who could not discover any cause
For these appearances, and vet the fact seemed
- be that he was confirmed invalid. \
few DAYS since, upon suggestion of the Ply
stefan, the Deputy Warden told him he was
sure he w,as 9 shanming, and that food
would not be given him until convinced OF
the contrary. For thirty-six hours the OBJ
stinate man held out. hut on Wednesday
morning last he sent for the Warden, asked
for the usual prison attire, went to his cell
in the prison without any difficulty, and on
Thursday he was in the ranks prompt and
erect, going up the long flight Of steps u
chapel service. To-day he is at work. APP
parently as vigorous, strong aud free from
iufirmity as any man in the institution
Probably his purpose has been to excite the
sympathy of the Warden and Others so as to
lead to efforts for a remission of his sentence

In the year 1852, discovered small white

irritating sensations until the year 1851, when il
grew rapidly, was accompanied with sting ng
feeling in the frame and in short assumed every
indication of Cancer. In November Of 1854, it

plaster drew the cancer completely from my breast
leaving an obong scar Of some two or three inches
depth, which has rapidly healed leaving no sting,
