HALLUcINATIoN.- Tho lancaster Iuteligcu.
Ger says "A mes: singular case of religious
Authorization, resulting fatally, occurred in
East Lampctcr township on Saturday last. A
young man named Jacob Harnish, about II
years old. residing near Midway, on the Lam
caster and Strawsburg pike, deliberately cut off
his own ieg with Ratchet. 1t appears that
for some time past his mind has been deeply
exercised on the subject of religion. His mo-
Their, who was not far off, witnessed the opera
ton, but had not the remotest idea Of his in
tentiou until it was TOO late to prevent it. His
father, who was on the farm, was immediately
summoned, and seeing his son bleeding to death,
asked him why he committed the act. 10
reply he said he had done it in obedience to
the command of the Saviour, who had said IF
thy hand or thy loot offend thee, cut them off
and cast them from thee : it is better for thee
to enter into life halt or manned, rather than
having Two hands or two feet to be cast into
everlasting fire" Surgical aid was procured
as soon as possible, and every effort made to
save the young maus lite, but the fearful loss
of blood from tie discovered arteries had been
such that be died shortly after the arrival Of
the surgeons.

democracy and the GermaRs.

The State Sentinel, the organ of the
Democratic party in Indiana, early
took occasion to side with France in
its war upon Germany. As early as
July Is. before q battle had been
fought between the eontending ar
mics, that paper sought to throw the
blame of the war on Prussia. 1t used
the following language:
There seems to be . misappreh ension In
regard to which nation has precipltated
the war. 1t Is evident that both have
been anticipating and preparing for it,
bttt to Prussia may be Inscribed the initiative
There was no trouble until a Prussian
Prince was put forth as ruler for Spain |;
and Bismarck's denial of any interference
in the matter Will no. relieve him from
completely In the scheme. at all events,
ETuSsiG has tbrotVn dol0n the gauntlet that
Napoleon conld not refuse without dis.
honor, but he VIII have the whole of
France to support him. And France is
doubtless ready for the struggle. Her
proud history and great military achiev-
ments will arouse her people to the high
est pitch TO maintain the reputation and
renew the achievements that have made
her SO long The first among the great pow
ers OF Europe.
1t is now seeking to charge its
tune, much as it did during the late
rebellion, when itraalized the strength
OF the Government. Its party is now
seeking German votes, without which
1t will make but a sorry show; hence
some OF its leaders are trying to hedge.
Other papers, however, like the
Cincinnati Enquirer, still blow strong
tor Napoleon, and lose no opportunity
to give vent to their hostility to Prus-
STA and her King. That paper, of
Wednesday last, contained the follow
ing:
