twenty three years married her husband
About twenty-three years ago she was
suddenly taken i'll, as was supposed, and
while in an unconscious state delivered a
religious discourse.
From that time until the present those
spells have come upon her regularly
every two weeks. At first they occurred
on week days, but for the past twenty
years they have invariably happened on
Sunday at ten o'clock q. m, when, rain OF
shine, summer or winter, whether there
be crowd or only her family present
she regularly passes into an unconscious
state, and delivers q religious discourse
always one hour to an hour and thirty
minutes in duration, and of the truest
orthodox stamp. She always feels un.
well for hours before and after the deliv.
cry of a sermon. She says she feels q
painful, prickling sensation in the right
half of her body, which begins several
hours before, and lasts until unconscious
ness takes place Between the spells she
feels perfectly well, and performs hel
household labors as vigorously as if she
were many years younger than she really
is-being now in her eighty-second year

his paws on my shoulders. When came
up out of breath and with mouth full of
water at his side, yelled out as well as /
could, Quiet, Rollop This was heard
above the noise of the waterfall, and at
tracted the attention of some gentlemen
near the bridge; but it failed in its effect
on my poor dog, who, delighted to see
me above water again, began fondling,
and again putting his paws on my shoul-
ders and head, sent me down under water
ever so far. Thinking my only chance
was to dive from him under water, turned
under the water and struck out as fast as
possible, and as long as l could keep I'M
der. The boatman tells me he had seen or
heard none of this, swimming towards the
other side OF the pool, when turning
round at this moment, neither / nor the
dog were in sight, and he got alarmed, as
kept so very long under water. He says
the dog must have dived after me. When
came up, greatly spent and out of breath,
to my horror the dog was close to me-
Again and again he was upon me. When
l came up the last time, gasping and ex-
hausted, hit the dog with all my might
hard on the tender part of his nose, driving
him away three or four yards / then
struck out for the shore with all my
strength race for dear lise-my faithful
dog close at my heels / touched the
ground with my knees, and with an utter
exhaustion staggered the two PAGES to
the bank, and fell down with heaying
chest and gasping breath, unable to move,
while my poor dog licked me all over to
show his gladness at my having got out
safe. Having had so narrsw an escape of
life, for most likely the dog would have
prevented those from diving after m, who
were ready to help me land whom now

my duty to warn others, as few know what
dangerous companion a dog is in the
water, unless, indeed, it is specially broken
in, or swimming with those who, unlike
