An Extraordinary Case.

M 'Nh "Vi "ihutJ OuSCs
A correspondent Of the Boston Post,
gives the following account of singular
case Of suspended animation or of pecu-
liar appearance after death The body
is at the house of Mrs. Josiah King, in
Charleston, Il. l., who is the mother Of
the young lady:
Miss Susie A. King, her daughter, was
about twenty-three years Of age, and of
fine personal appearance. About two
weeks ago she was taken sick with some
affection Of the throat, by which she was
confined to her bed for several days.
when she was supposed to be GONZALES
cent, aud allowed one day to come down
stairs. That night however, she grew
worse, complaining Of severe pains in
her hands and feet, and continued to
grow worse till the next day, when she
lasped into an unconscious state, in which
sheremaned until her death, on Friday,
the llth, athall-past seven o clock, A. NJ.
The usual preparations for the grave were
made; the body laid in the coffin, and on
Sunday the funeral services were held.
While the friends were taking the last
look at The body, physician present
thought he observed signs Of life
The body was removed from the coffin,
and, being placed in blankets, friction
and artificial respiration were resorted to
without effect. The next day the galyan-
ic battery was used, but was also without
avail. After hearing the above particu-
lars we were invited to view the body,
which lay in coffin on the table, where
it had remained since Sunday, this being
the eighth day since death was supposed
to have taken place.
The body presented the appearance of
person in full health and sound seep.
The face was full and round the cheeks
flushed, and the lips red the eyes un-
sunken, with no outward sign Of death.
There was total absence OF muscular
rigidity, and Wednesday, after lying six
days in this condition, the body was
perceptibly warm to the touch The
physician present applied the stethescope
but could detect 10 pulsation Of the
heart, while the application Of lighted
match to the skin produced no blister
filled with scum, which is said to be
invariably the case when life is present.
Many physicians from the surrounding
country have been TO witness this wonder
tul phenomenon, though disagreeing in
their conclusions-some believing Miss
King to be in state of trance, others
thinking her dead, attributing the preser-
vailon OF the corpse to arsenic, which it
is possible she has been accustomed to
take for the complexion, habit prac-
Liced by many young ladies' That Miss
&. had this habit, however, the family
deny.
The father of the young lady was
Josiah King brother Of ex Ex-Governor King,
Of Rhode Island, who. it may be remem-
Dered, occupied the Gubernatorial chair
Turing the Dorr War;" in 1912.
Much sympathy is felt and expressed for
.he family, aud some idea of the public
ceiling manifested in the case may be in
erred from the fact that during the past
week over 25OO people have visited the
house to see and hear for themselves.

JURY Duty is kind of service that
few men do with willingness, and is con-
sequently a service that they would gladly
be relieved from. The New York Jour-
nat Of Commerce makes a suggestion
which. -eems to us is really worthy of con-
sideration. We quote as follows:
" We would allow all civil suits to be
tried by Judge alone in every case
where neither party demanded jury
This would strike out the call for such
service from three-fourths, if not nine
tenths Of the civil cases on the calendar.
There are few disputes in which both
parties and their lawyers would not rath-
er leave the decision to the bench than to
the jury box. In the remaining cases let
any party demanding jury be compelled
to give security for the payment of a
sum sufficient to furnish ample remuner-
alton to those who may be compelled to
give their valuable time to the task"
This would also relieve the public
treasury from quite large expense, and
place it where it properly belongs,-on
those who insist upon demanding the ser
vices of jury. There is no doubt but
that in the great majority of cases, the
cause of justice would be promoted, and
fewer unjust yerdicts would be rendered,
than under the present system. At least
the question is worthy of consideration,
as furnishing means towards relieving
men from this duty, or if compelled to
perform it, secure a fair remuneration for
their services.

Hon. A. X. MCCLURE, is evidently
unable to forget the grudge he owes SEN
ator Cameron, and now takes occasion to
write long letter, in which he asserts
that the Ex-Secretary of War left that
position in the Cabinet, at the especial
request Of President Lincoln.
This unnecessary attack the Senator so
far has not noticed enough even to say
"shoo fly" and evidently cares little
about it, probably feeling that such let
ters damage the author fully as much as
the person they are intended to injure.

SUPPLEMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR 1869.
In the report for the half year ending 3lst De-

upon that Toll the sun Of $500 SIS, apporiionsd
follows: To state. s., $50 ID: to County,

on the nth February last, the Board OF Commits
sioners passed resolution by which it was
ordered, that the entire supplemental assessment
for the year 1869 be, and the same is hereby,
stricken out aud rcm!tted.' But the state au-
thuritleS. Dljecting II such action by the Board,
instituted proce dings liz the supreme Court to
cate such order, which have resulted in a late de-
cision by the Court that the action of the Board
in thus renting the whole of the Supplemental
Roll was unauthorized and their order declared
void. What proportions of the present celinquen-
cies upon that ROLL and the additional 10 per cent
thereon, will he hereafter collected depends in a
great measure upon the further action of the |
b ard and of the District Attorney in reference
thereto. The collection Of the amount due would |
be a great benefit to the County finances.
