A Young Woman in a Three Days
TranCB-Shs Makes SOms
Startling Predictions.

From the Louisville Ledger of the 25th.1
For the past week the citizens of the
! East End have been intensely excited
over q series Of cataleptic phenomena,
at a house on the east side of Shelby
| street, between Main and Market
The subject or victim of these curious
phenomena is a young married wO-
man named
CAROLINE KLEBERT,
about nineteen years Of age, light hair,
broad face, and rather gOOd-lOOking.
She is Of German descent, and speaks
both German and English fluvntly.
She is the daughter of a man named
Young, who, up to the time of his
death, lived on Preston street, just
beyond the Lion Garden. She was
married to Mr.. Klebert last Christ
mas, since which she and her husband
have lived in the little cottage on
Shelby street before alluded to. From
the lady's family we CLEAN the follow
ing particulars Of
HER AFFLICTION.
Her present trance is the second one
with which she has been visited; the
years, and lasting but one day. At
that time she is said to have predicted
the present attack, and accurately
fOretOld the time at which it would
commence, and the length of time it
would last. On the occasion of her
first attack, she also predicted a third
and last visitation, to come on in ex-
actly seven years from the present |
one, and to end in her death. On |
Monday last, just five years from the |
time Of her first experience, Mrs. Kle- |
bert was
THROWN INTO A TRANCE,
which lasted from eight in the morn
ing till eight In the evening, at which |
time consciousness returned, and she /
remained in her normal condition un.
til Wednesday morning at eight
o'clock, when she relapsed and con-
inued insensible until five in the af-
ternOOn. At eight yesterday morn
ing the last Of this series of frances
commenced, and terminated at nine
last night. While in this trance state
Mrs. Klebert has been, to all appear
ances, totally unconscious Of every
thing transpiring around her, lying
perfectly passive, and in a seeming
cOmstOse condition, with the eXcep-
ton Of occasional

pear to be in pain, and occasionally
talks, but withCEt conference, in En-
ylish and German. Sometimes she
