AN EXTRAORDINARY AND FATAL EXPERT
MENT MADE BY BoY.-Emery Lull, seven
teen years of age, son of Mr.. James Lull, of
Pittsfeld, came to his death on Thursday
night last under the following singular cir
cumsrances:
Tuesday night, after he had retired to bed
with his grandfather, he complained of be-
ing unwelI, and, after being questioned, con-
fessed that he had swallowed ten stones,
eight leaden bullets and a metal button.
After this confession the grandfather got up
and informed the boys father of what had
been done, who, being some what of doctor,
told his SOD, with tears in his eyes, that the
best be could do was to prepare his mind for
death, for if he had done what he had said,
no earthly power could save him. 1t is not
known how large the stones were that he
swallowed, but one found in his jacket was
| as large as walnut. The reason the boy
| gave for swallowing the stones was, because
/ be wanted to do what a humbug Snowman
| pretended TO do at cattle fair, i. e, eat
stone. 1t appears that the boy did realty
| suppose that the man lived on stones, as he
pretended, and, as he said, thought he could
| do the same.

The LUNATIcs IN THE COUNTY JAm.-A
paragraph in the Press of Saturday spoke of
the lunatics confined in the County Jail
some five or six in number-as not receiving
the attention they required, and intimated
that perhaps the County Commissioners
could explain why these poor unfortunates
were not furnished with quarters in the
ssylum. The Commissioners inform US that
all of the lunatics in the County Jail are
non-Tesidents, aud therefore can not be sent
TO the asylum. 1t has always been the policy
of the Commissioners to send lunatics who
are not residents OF Hamilton County to the
authorities of the places where they belong,
but The residences of those now in Jail can
not be ssceTtained, hence nothing more can
be done than TO keep them where they are.
The Commissioners are considering the sub
ject of appointing nurse TO wait upon them,
which, We think, would be good move.

This extraordinary science is becoming

the magician himself all are equally wide Of
the mark. "Were Heller" remarked q

times better ventriloquist than any | have

not open his mouth. Again, there is clair

Mr.; Rarey is exhibiting his feats of horse
tanning before immense audiences in Chicago.
One of the papers thus describes hard sub
ject which Rarey conquered;
A genuine Tartar of a horse was then in
troduced and subjected TO the training pro-
cess. He was said to be uucommOnly Vi
cious, and to have been, on numerous occa-
sions, very dangerous. He took the treat
ment very reluctantly, and for a while
plunged, reared and bit with the ferocity of
a wild beast. He was easily thrown, and,
" hen down, showed no more lenient dispo-
sition. His heels flew like lightning for
few moments, and then he gave up to the
power which controlled him, and was as
passive as q lamb. His eye indicated an ugly
disposition, and be was, beyond preadvent-
uIe, very vicious and savage animal, yet
in half an hours time he became tractaOle
and kind, and allowed his couqueror TO
handle his dangerous heels, to climb over
him, to open his mouth, and to do any thing
that he pleased. All this is accompanied by q
process of which Mr.. Rsrey makes no secret.
He fairly Overpowers the animal, aud holds
him helpless, which, once accomplished, is
the end of the struggle. The horse gives
up, and acknowledges his master in every
sense of the word.
