A YOUNG LADY ASLEEP TWELVE YEARS.
Some eight miles from Hickman, KY,
there exists young lady who presents
the most wonderful case OF coma, or
preternatural disposition to sleep, of
which we have ever known or heard.
When about twelve years old she was
taken with severe chill, and treated by
her physicians accordingly. AS her
fever which followed the chill subsidized
she fell into deep sleep, in which con-
dition she has remained ever since, ex-
cept at intervals. She awakes regularly
twice in every twenty-four hours, at
which time nourishment is given her,
and 1t is most singular fact that she
always awakes within few minutes Of
the same hours every day. She will re-
main awake and perfectly conscious ten
or fifteen minutes, and then gradually
fall off to sleep again. When asleep it is
utterly impossible to arouse her. She is
now twenty-four years old, and has con-
sequently been in the comatose condition
period of twelve years. When awake
she does not appear to suffer, ex-
cept from drowsy, gaping inclination,
and persistent effort to cleanse her
throat Of phlegm. She never complains
of any bodily pain. In her sleep she is
very nervous at times, and appears to
suffer considerably by the violent twitch-
ings and jerkings Of her muscles and
limbs, and her hands are clenched tight
ly, as if enduring severe pain. The
paroxysm will continue perhaps five
minutes, and she then sleeps as calmly
and as quietly as an infant. Her food
consists of mush, cruel, and such things
as are usually given confirmed invalids.
When awake she will answer questions
asked her, and can converse with
considerable intelligence, but never ex-
hibits any interest or desire to talk.
Talking seems to be a labor to her. She,
Of course, has never had any of the ad-
vantages Of education or society, and her
ideas of everything are quite child-like.
Her features are inclined to be pretty,
and, though deprived of the tints Of
health, are not marked by that sickly
pallor which her position would indi-
cate. She has long, dark, wavy hair,
which her poor old mother takes great
care in combing and dressing, and her
complexion is that Of pale, delicate
brunette. She is of ordinary size, and
her limbs and muscles we'll proportioned
and developed. She has grown consid-
erable since her affiiction. Her name is
Miss Mary Godsy, and her mother is a
very poor widow lady, dependent upon
the charity Of her neighbors and visitors
for support. She has been visited since
her affliction by many eminent physi-
cians but her condition defes all medi-
cal skill. Indeed, we have not met any
one who claims to understand the cause
or nature of the disease.

A family OF six persons came to town
last Saturday from Savannah, Georgia,
and took rooms at the Sanford House,
which establishment appears to be gain

care OF Mr., Frank Sanford, the new
proprietor.
Holt Stevens, NJ. D., native Of Cas-

College, for twelve years past resident
of Virginia, and for some time surgeon
in the rebel army, has, with his family,
been spending several weeks here with
relatives. They have just left for Ne
braska, where the Doctor will engage in
the practice OF his profession.
Hyde Ray, a Castleton boy, after
living in California and Nevada ten or
twelve years, has returned to the home
OF his boyhood, to spend a few weeks
with his old companions and friends.

The two clubs played a game lasting

FEARFUL TRAGEDY. "A letter from
Havana dated 18th inst, says that an
awful tragedy was enacted in the office
of one Of the justices Of peace in Matan-
zas few days ago. A suit for alimony
ha been commenced by married lady,
WHO had Tor some months been separat-
ed from her husband, Santiago Manzanet,
of literary reputation. The case was
proceeding quite smoothly to all present,
when, quick as lightning, Manzanet
drew revolver aud fred at his wife.
The ball entered her forehead, causing
her to fall over into her mothers lap, an
aged lady, who was sitting beside her.
The fiend then fired his revolver at the
mother, when both fell at his feet, gasp
Ing in the agonies of death. Tue mur-
derer then aercely turned upon the per-
sons present and threatened them with
the same fate If they dared to interfere
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1867-05-30

such employments as such a mode OF
life would require. In hunger often, in
want always, watching the stealthy ap-
proach of the savage, rejoicing with
those who did rejoice, and often sub
jected to weeping by miseries fancied or
real, her childhood and youth passed
away. When ten years old, In an at
tempt to fee from the Indians, she is
said to have travelled all night through
woods, swamps and frightful places, car
rying her younger sister, then an infant.
The party was successful, escaping those
who would have captured or slain them.
She and her husband united with the
Baptist church In Windsor, and were
probably among the first who joined
that church, and from which, so far as
known, they never took letters OF dis
mission. She was godly woman, en-
deavoring to lead her children in the
true way, and lived to see the whole ten
professed followers Of Christ. At her
decease, which occurred at Bethel, April
~, aged 95, there were thirty-three
children and great number of great
grandchildren, and some of the fifth
generation. She had retained her facul-
ties up TO the last, only gradually sink
ing away.
At her birth the population of these
United States, exclusive of Indians, was
about 100000. She lived to see it
about 100000. She saw the wilder
ness threaded by marked trees, traversed
mainly by persons on foot, and she saw
the region interlaced by railroads freight
ed by thousands of passengers from all
parts of the world. She saw all of her
associates Of her own age drop one by
one into the grave and herself sole
survivor.
But with such instances OF longevity
before US, who shall say Vermont is not
healthy? We had two years ago, within
radius Of five or six miles, six mono.
generians and several octogenarians,w who
were laborious men and women. These
were always the temperate and generally
professors OF religion. Many Of them,
indeed, have realized the fulf1llment OF
the promise: with long life will sat-
isfy him, and will show him my saliva
