~ The Burlington Sentinel, North Star

in quoting from THAT staunch Republican
paper, the New York Times, in the face and

'Some two nights since death oc-
CURED i'll a certain portion of our par
ish, which was brought about in d
strange manner. A gentleman living
unhappiIy with his wife, some two
months since, committed suicide. This
so affected her that she often of morn
ing declared that the ghost of the de-
ceased had haunted her during the
night. Finally, one day she affirmed
that the devil had appe AIRED to her, and
after upbraiding her, stated that here
after when she should attempt to eat
snd drink, her food and water would
choke her. And strange to say, when
ever she took any nourishnent or drank
anything she invariably choked. This
continued for twenty-seven days, when
she died from pure starvation. These
facts, we have from a gentleman ofun
doubted veracity."
