The Bangor Commercial says very re-
markable case of lethargy occurred at Winter
port, Maine, few days since. daughter of
Howes Mayo went into the yard on Tuesday.
May 7, to bring in a little child, which had una
wares got out Of the house. While Miss Mayo
was STOPPING over the child she became sudden
ly dizzy, and complained of it to her mott O.,
who put her to bed. The girl fell into pro-
found sleep almost immediately, and her mother,
upon trying to awaken her in season for sup
per, was surprised to find her efforts unavailing
After the family had eaten supper they again
tried to awaken the girl, but still, without avail
The family becoming alarmed, the neighbors
were called in but they could not suggest any
method by which the fair sleeper could be
aroused. physician was also summoned, and
he called in three other medical men, who
among other methods, sat the girl ia a chair
and poured water from few feet above upon
her head and shoulders, but even this failed,
and the still sleeping girl was put again to bed
Except when she was disturbed. her breathing
was slow and regular and her pulse healthy. AT
O'Clock the following Sunday afternoon she
turned over in bed and, awaking. called to her
mother, asking if supper wasn't ready yet, and
further said that she was real hungry. She
then got up and ate hearty meal, and has been
in excellent healthAever since. The case ex-
cited great interest in the town, and the recov-
cry OF the sleeper was theme of much wonder
meut.
