A REMARKABLE CASE. 1''i -

A colored woman named Della Pearson,
formerly the property of Robert c. Pearson,
Esq, living near Morganton, Burke County,
N. G., was strangely affected for about three
weeks, and had the best medical attention
without receiving any benetit theretrom.--i
The writer of this, Isaac iYount, colored
man, was then called to see her, and found
her almost in dying condition She was
suffering severe pains IN her bead, and IN
fact. throughout her whole system. She
complained that she felt as if she had an in
ternal fire, and that she was being consumed.
Her skin seemed, quite warm and feyerish.
then went to work on her and administer
ed certain curatives of my own preparation.
Ivomited her freely and she threw up some
thing a3out the length of a mans finger
which had tail, head, mouth and eyes re-
sembling in every particular green scor-
pion. She then threw up something about
as broad as two fingers and Of the length OF
finger; it also had a head, tail and neck,
but no appearance Of. eyes; it had the like
ness and similitude of an, animal commonly
called a ground puppy; three Or four OF
these came from her. A large quantity, per-
haps gallon or more of green stuff resemb-
ling moss ormother ofvinegar, and quantity
of something like fish eggs were also elected.
During the whole of the time she seemed to
be almost suffocated and could with the ut
most difficulty, draw her breath. / WAITED
on her for five days before I felt sure that
she could recover at the end of that time
she began to improve and is now able to
walk mile or more, and will in short
time be entirely restored to health. I do not
pretend to say what was the matter with her,
though have decided opinion that by
foul means she had been poisoned. The fact
can be proved by number Of witnesses
that reptiles of the kind above described in
large numbers passed from her, and if it is
doubted the witnesses can and will he pro,
duced to sustain what ! have written. My
object in making this matter public is to cal
the attention of, the medical. profession to
this case. and to learn if there is any parable
| to it In their experience. sasi ii...,iss, rsls

The Murderers of Ashburn.

A telegram the other day endeavored to
excite sympathy for the men arrested by
Gen. Meade, and charged with the murder of
Geo. w. Ashburn, of Columbus, Ca 1t
prophesied their release by Congress. On
the other hand, Gen. Meade says he has no
doubt their guilt, but because they belong
to the chivalry and are members of the
Democratic association of Columbus, their
condition excites the sympathy of their po-
litical friends. who uniformly fail to punish
murder which advances their helish
schemes. # +. ~ i-r
Let justice be done. If these men are
guilty hang them, if innocent let them go

assassins shall be dealt with by law or by

"A WHOLE CONDENSATION PoIsoNED.-The
Chicago Tribune has special despatch from Va
pierville, H., giving on account of the poison
ing of whole church congregation at that place
on Sunday nh inst. The church was celcbra-
ting a lovefeast. y The meat had been prepared in
a copper kettle, and allowed to remain in it all
day, till the liquid had become oxydized. All
who partook of t twere poisoned, and all suffered
the most exeruciating pains. Medical assistance
was at once summoned but it was long time
before the entire number (about one hundred and
thirty could be attended to. About twenty of
the number OF the number were regarded as in a
dangerous condition, but none have yet died, and
it is hoped that all willrecoyer.

b Gov. Holden, of North Carolina, assuming
that the bill for the, admission of his own
and other Southern States will become law,
has issued his proclamation convening the
Legislature on the first day of July. 1t is
important that similar action should be ta-
ken in the other five States embraced in the
bill, in order that Senators may be elected in
time to take their seats before the close of
the present session of Congress. No doubt
is entertained. that the bill will become
a law, whether it receives the signature of
the President or Is vetoed by him. Wash.

in amazing force. The Farmer makes the follow
ing astounding statement: .t....,...--l 4,
'aThe movements and numbers of this insect
are astounding. The army worm has appeared
in this country near the State line, and are now
ing SoutIward., Their breadth is about two
miles, and they are stripping the forest OF foliage
in their path. There are so many millions that
last week they actually stopped the freight train
on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad. The
worms were so thick on the track that they ac.:
cumuated on the wheels until it caused the.
drivers to slide on the rails. We don't think
this is the regular army worm but a species of
insect somewhat smaller and not so destructive
