A STRANGE AFFA1R,-The Milvau-
kte Wisconsin, of the 9th ult., gives
the particulars of a remarkable case of
trance which is attracting a great deal
Of attention. A little daughter, aged
twelve years, ola German farmer, named
Christian Rausch, living near Burling-
ton, Racine county, Wis.,, had been
suffering from 4 severe attack OF meas.
les and diptheria she was recovering,
and on the 9Th Of January she told her
father that she was going into long
sleep and would look ~ though she
we're dead, but that she would not be
and they must not bury her. Soon af.
ter she sank quietly away, to Ill .p-
pearaneea dead. There was no pulse,
no heart beat, no pereep.ible respiri:
tio'. Yet no decay ensued; the eyes
aud checks only sinking a little. On
the 24tb, . vein vas tapped and blood
flowed naturally, aud : blister was
readily raised on the flesh. The trance
had already lasted twenty days, and
tic result IL not yet known.

CHEAP FOOD FOR rHx EAST.

At meeting Of the Social Science
Association recently held in Boston, .
great deal Of interest vas manifested in
the consideration Of the causes affecting
the high prices Of food. One principal
reason wa the exorbitant freight tar
ills. In referring to this, the Superior
Gazeste says:
We respectfully suggest to our New
England friends that their remedy is at
once to secure interests iu The several
magnificent railroad enterprises having
valuable land grants, pointing to tho
head of Lake Superior; thereby pre-
venting monopolies aud secure their
food direct from the great grain fields
OF Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin,,
where last years product exceeded 49,
100000 bushels Of wheat. A railroad
we.t $50 miles to St. Cloud, $50 miles
southwest to St. Paul Or one 1875 miles
south to Hudson, either or al will tap
the grain fields in question. -
The Northern Pacific r. r. will d.
velop . much larser food producing
district; including the valleys IF the
Red and Saskatchewan Iivsrs, tho ,ish.
est wheat fields in the world.
These railroads completed to the
head Of Lake Superior vii! afford new
and direct outlet for these immense
products, and the cheap transportation
BY the lakes and canals will place at
the doors Of the Eastern people what
they 50 much desire-cheap food.
