PRoF. WEsT.-Since his imprisonment Prof
West, the Dover murderer, has become reduced
very much in flesh. He talks freely in Fegard
to the crime with which he stands charged, but
in Mariner indicating apparently an entire
lack Of mental or moral cogniLance of the enor-
nifty OF the offence. He persists in declaring
that, until aroused TO consciousness when
recognized by the boy Merritt at Harrington,
tasmagoria. Most of the time he appears
rational to a casual observer; but often manifesls
very peculiar symptoms, and is thesvictim of all
manner of illusions. As TO his sanity there are
various opinions.

One of the most remarkable cases of
sticking to life without food or water came
to light this morning at the works of Nc
Hose & Co., of this city, by which turkey
was unknowingly held prisoner for forty
two days, not having tasted food or water
during the entire time. The circumstances
of this most remarkable incident are as
follows:-
On the ESD Of December last, McHose
y Co. bought some fifty odd turkeys for
Christmas presents to their hands, (Which
presents they have made regularly for the
last Eve or six yesrs.) These turkeys
were all put into a stable, and In the even
ing were presented TO their men. One,
however, was missing, and it was supposed
that the party supplying them had made a
mistake in the count, aud no search was
made.
This morning one of the hands, Howard
Fisher, went into the stable In search OF
something, when be heard noise in a
sheet iron pipe, about eight feet high and
sixteen inches In diameter, standing up
right. He looked In, saw something
moving, when he turned over the pipe and
found the missing turkey, still alive, but
too weak to resist capture, having been
without food or water for forty-twO days
| Water and food was at once offered, but II
refused 10 cat. Its mouth was then opened
and water. bread and butter forced down
and it is now picking corn again. III
weight before confinement was about l.
pounds and now it weighs but SO pounds
Mr.. John 7. Weilzel, foreman Of th'
worke, will take his turkeyship to thl
Liberty Engine House, where the gobblei
will doubtless receive excellent care an'
attention for some time to come. 1t il

Annie Is colored woman, and we'll
behaved, upright woman, too, so far as we
know. Annie is, however, unfortunate in
her husband. The course of true love
does not always run smooth, even after
the person has blessed 1t, and wedlock
robbed it of chance and change. Thus it
happened to the heroine Of our little story.
Her husband, ever and again, would come
to his home drunk-and i'll tempered and
brutal as drink could make him. 30 Annie
resolved to become a self-supporting insti-
tuition again, ana hired as cook with
friend Of ours, reserving the right 10
spend her nights in her own house. This
arrangement continued for little while,
until one morning she appeared at her
place of service with her face sadly marred
and bruised. Upon inquiry 1t was found
that the tipsv husband had been amusing
himself by giving her a beating the night
before. Indignant Anuie declared that
she would never live with him again. But
her woman's heart yielded finally to his
persuasions, and she moved reconsidera-
ton, returning to the le ge lord whom she
had forsworn. Difference appeared now
to be reconciled, and all seemed peaceful
as the honeymoon.
One night on getting home, Annie found
that her spouse had kindly prepared the
evening meal and in the excess of his af-
feetion, for her especial delight, graced the
board with dish of boiled cabbage. He
knew and appreciated his dear wlfe's
weakness for cabbage, particularly when
! n nice bit of fat pork had made 1t appe-
tizing, aud with true conjugal care had it
smoking hot, all ready and waiting for his
darling. Unfortunately Annie was not
eating cabbage just then, and so declining
the delicate temptation she soon retired.
But husband was not TO be disappointed
after such fashion. He had been uukind
-brutally unkind to his first aud only
love, the woman whom he adored-and
he wanted the eaten cabbage to be pledge
and proof of forgiveness. So after Annie
was snug IN bed, he carried a plate of II
up stairs, insisting that for his sake she
would take some. Annie refused he in
sisted, and so to crafty him she consented.
In the very fret mouthful she noticed
something that gritted in her teeth, snt
eIcusing herself from any more, waited
for the morning. Then she found tha
the brute had filled the cabbage with
pounded glass, evidently hoping to poisoI
her. If she had eaten what was brough
her on the plate, before this she prohabl,
would have been dead woman. But |
kind Providence spared the husband thl
crime oil murder, and left herself to suffe
other brutalitles at his hand. The mex
day this tender spouse had his wife ar
rested and put into the lookup on tn
charge of having purloined various article
from the house of her employer. orie
investigation was sufficient to prove he
innocence, and she WAS released. Tn
! nend, at whose representation she Wa
D imprisoned, is still at large, unyhipt G
justice, and Annie we fear, will neve
1 send him, as he deserves, to the Stat
b prison. Chester Advocate.

When Caesar Rodney was in Richmond,

Attorney General, in Aaron Burr's trial
for misdemeanor, an incident took place
which shows how stern were Mr.. Rodney's
republican principles, and his dislike Of

Soon after he had taken lodgings at a
hotel In Richmond, one Of his walters, "a
sable one, Of cours., addressing him said,
"Major will you please come TO supper 2"

"Oolonel," replied the black, please to

Rodney, much amused with his pertinaclty'
The walter then retreated, but quickly re.
turned, and addressing him, with ten fold
formallty and respect said, "0eneral, be
so good as to walk down to supper" ,"
"My frlend,'' replied Mr.. Rodney, am
