A REHARKABLE SToRY.-A gentleman,
in whose credibility the most implicit con-
fdence may be placed, relates the follow
ing singular story, the parties to which,
and the material facts involved, are per~
sonally known to him.
A young lady named Helen Hunter,
living between Dycusburg and Princeton,
Kentucky, during protracted religious
meeting held during the month of Novem-
Der, under the influence of religious ex-
citement, fell into a trance, and remained
in state of apparent unconciousness for
period of five days. When she was
aroused from the state of lethargy into
which she had fallen, she related the ex-
perience of the fve days during which she
professed to have passed into the other
world and witnessed the glories of Para
disc as well as the horrors of the bottom
less pit But the remarkable feature of
the story is that she predicted that three
young men, then apparently in the most
robust health, would die before the year
was out. A week after the prediction
was made one of the young men took sick
and died in few days. A week or ten
days of the new year the third one ex>

A WNDFALL FOR SoaIEBoDY.-A some
what rare and novel incident recently oc-
CURED in the lower end of Paradise town
ship, York county. In that locality resi-
ded family Of deaf and dumb, consisting
of one man and two women, brother and
sisters, named Anders or Anderson. They
had brother in Richmond, Virginia, now
dead, who was very weakly. The broth
er procured farm for his deaf and dumb
relatives, some distance below Berlin, in
Paradise township, and employed Mr..
Gise to take care Of them. They were
very industrious and stingy, saving every
cent. A short time ago the last survivor
Of them died, and sale was made of their
effects. Among these was au old chest,
which was purchased by Mr. Jacobs a
neighbore Upon removing the chest,
suspicion was excited that there was some
thing unusual in the appearance and
weight of it, and upon examination it
was discovered that it had "false' or
two bottoms, between which were secre~
ted several small bags of gold and large
amount of bank notes on the York Coun>
ty Bank, in the aggregate amounting to a
large sum probably from five to ten thou
sand dollars. 1t ia stated that suit has
been instituted by the heirs to recover the
money.

The ''revision of the civil code" is also
referred to, and ;he Governor speaks of it
as task of ''more than ordinary magni-
tude, requiring f'high order of talent,
literary attainment, legal research and
energetic industry; and yet he has ap-
pointed discarded Judge and two young
politicians to attend to it. Passing over
such men as John Scott, of Huntingdon,
S. S. Blair, of Blair, and A. Kopeln, of
Cambria, he could only find competent
minds in the son-in-law of Cameron and
the brother of Lou. Hall to accomplish

district in the State would have afforded
better material.

A Most Strange Chapter.

A correspondent writes us from Water
loo, Iowa, asking if we know of one Ed
ward Bnrnham, and of his history.
We do. And as it is a strange, true
one, known to hundreds, we give it in the
democrat as it is, that we may correct
some errors those who speak of him have
fallen into. Eight years since, when we
were engaged as city editor of Milwau-
kee paper, there lived in this State an ed
itor named Powell, now connected with a
Chicago paper, we think. lie is, unless
ne has quit it la.eiy.
In 1852 rowell was married to Miss
Ellen Durnham, Of Broadhead, Wiseon-
s1n, after courtship of some months.
Miss Burnham's parents were old residents
of Broadhead, and of high respectability.
1he daughter taught music, had a large
number OF pupils, and was very attractive.
Powell lived with her as husband two
years, she being all that time a good wife
in all respects, presenting him with but
one child. At the expiration Of two years,
when about twenty-one years of age, Mrs
PowelPs voice changed. she grew light
whiskers, and gradually changed her sex,
if nature, anxious for freak, had turned
a portion of herself wrongside out.
The husband and wife separated when
the wife became man, and Mrs. Ellen
Powell took the name of Edgar Burnham,
donned male attire, sought and obtained
employment as clerk in Chicago, and
lived single man for one year.
During this time he fell in love with a
niece of Senator Morgan, of New York,
but did not marry her, for reasons not
pertinent to this article. But about the
end of the year he did marry young lady
of Broadhead, Wisconsin, a Miss Gerta
Everett, who was a music pupil of his
when he was a Miss Ellen Burnham, over
three years previous TO, the marriage
This second marriage was about two
years ago. Soon after this marriage
edgar" Burnham and wife removed to
Waterloo, Iowa, where they now reside,
or did not long since.
The former girl is now a man, the for
mer wife is now husband, the former
mother is now father, the former young
lady teacher of young lady is now the
young lady's husband Truth is indeed
stranger than fiction, and Inc e!!,ova sim,
F.e s'atment OF fa!9:a borders SO upon the
marvellous we could not believe it did we
not personally know nearly all the parties.
Any one can be convinced, bygwriting
to the parties in either of the places we
have named, of the full and entire truth
OF this most wonderful transformation,
which puzzles not only the medical but
the entire scientific word, and which fact
appears now for the first time in print,
though the particulars have long been
known to US and to many other newspa-
per men and prominent citizens of this
State, as to nearly all the citizens of
Broadhead, where the parties SO long re-
sided.-LG Crosse Democrat.

HORRIBLE SUICIDE. have learned
to-day the particulars of a horrible case
Of suicide that occurred at Trescow, on
the Lehigh Valley road. A young man,
aged about twenty-three years, married
young woman about three months past,
and few days back she become tired of
married life and returned to her brothers to
1.-Two. The young man was very much
troubled and called on his wife on Satur-
day, informed her unless she would live
with him he would kill himself She re-
fused, and he executed the threat by hang
ing himself from tree near the house.
The rope was SO long that his feet touched
the ground, but, determined to die, he
held them up with his hands and was
found dead as stone, The brides
brother took the body down, carried it to
neighboring tavern, where it remained
on the stoop during the day. In the
evening he knocked board from the
fence, constructed a rude coffin, and burs
led the body of his brother-in-law outside
the fence of the church yard. That is
the way they do things up the river
