 4 SiHgular Case.-A case of apparen suspended animation in New Britan is at- tracting attention. Mary NJ. Dunn, a daughter of Martin Dunn, aged l6 years, died, apparently, Thursday evening; yet on Friday her life-like appearance caused medical examination, and it was found that blood would follow any puncture of the skin, and red mark would follow a smart slap These things, with the life like appearance of the corpse, led all to think she was in trance, but up to this time no change for better or worse has taken place. The medical attendants laid the sudden decease to congestion of the lungs, caused by the cold, bitter March wind.
 Mere NsntaI A6errat5on.-Mr. John Watson of Canaan was taken to the Insane Retreat at Mlddletown last Saturday. We are informed that no evidence of insanity was discovered till two or three days before he was taken away; it appearing that when his mind began to become disturbed, he grew very rapidly worse, and was so bad Saturday, that special car was thought necessary for his conveyance to Middletown, which was obtained from the Housatonic road. This is the second time the mind of Mir. Watson has been de ranged the first time being soon after his father committed suicide by hanging, some thing like twenty years ago. He is a man about forty years old, and this, his terrible misfortune, falls heavily on his numerous friends in this region.
