cred from nervous affection which made her reel and
stagger like drunken person Her hearing, eye
sight and other faculties quite accu,e ami un-
impaired. A few years since she fell in q ct or
trance and presented all the appearances of dead
person. Some we'll meaning and kind hearted old
Ladies who were present, forthwith congratulated
themselves, the public, and Mary, upon Der happy
dsliverence from this world of sin and snrrpw Mary
upon waking from her trace, gave these good wo-
men plece of her mind y which, of COURSE, was
not very fattering to them. Least there may be @
mistske about the matters this time. We will cay
for Mary that as far know she n harmless,
inofa psive, unfortunate creature-a subject Of pity
rather than of scorn rdicus; an for the lubls
who have expended thousands of dollars for her sup
port during so many years, that the msney might
have been appropriated to worse purposes.
