A Fatal HaIlucinatioa.

A young and intelligent woman, the daughter
of William Hooker, a wealthy farmer OF Whites
Valley, Pa, committed suicide on Wednesday
from the effects of o singular hallucnstion which
has possessed her mind for five or six years. She
fancied that she had committed some grievous sin
against deity whom she called her Emmanuel"
and continually building affairs in her fathers
fields, and sacrificing lambs as burnt-oferings
thereon. On Wednesday her father was absent
from home for some hours, and when he returned
found the girls charred corpse on one Of her
affairs In the kitchen. That she had inundated
herself to appease the wrath OF her deity ap-
peared from the following note, which was found
In the family bible:
DEAR FATHER: My Emmanuel appeared to me
to-day. He reveals to me that have committed
the objectionable Sin, which can only obtain
forgiveness for by passing through the cleansing
OF fire. l will intereede for you, my dear father.
You will find my purified body in the northeast
corner Of the house. l wish to have my ashes
buried in my Immanuel's ground at the north
west corner Of the house. Good by. Meet me in
the Eternal Ground.
"CRIssEY."
Mr.. Hocker went to the corner Of the house In
dictated In the note as the spot where his daugh-
ter's body was to be buried, and found that the
girl had staked out space for her grave.
An inquest was held by q neighbOring Justice
and the jury returned a verdict in accordance
with the iaats.

Lake Babcoek" Again.

JANUARY, IL 1873.
To the Editor Of The National Republican:
SIR: Your paper of this morning contains a COM
plant that the enjoyment of skating on Lake
Babcock has been seriously interfered with by
ice-cutting. Feeling some interest in the matter,
have inquired respecting the facts and ascer-
tanned that tie ice is being cut by authority of
General Babeock, under whose plans the lake
became prominent feature in the improvement
Of the hitherto unsightly Monument grounds. It
is perhaps, natural that the skaters should grum-
BILE at this interference with their SPORT but their
complaints will undoub tedly cease when they
learn that his permission to remove the ice has
given employment TO upwards OF one hundred and
fifty men, in = season when work Is scarce and
suffering grest, and at the same time adds to the
stock Of Ice secured for the coming summer months
purer quality than can be obtained from the ad-
lacent river. Pleasure seekers are apt to be sell
hsh; but when they read this statement they will
doubtless give thanks to General Babcock tor the
charitable motive which has induced his course,
and seek the river, where the skating is Just as
secure as that upon the lake, the field wider and
the enjoyment proportionately increased. NJ.

The Results of Auarchv in snain.

The following extract from q letter written by
q correspondent in the south of Spain is published
by the London Daily Telegraph of the 18th OF De-
cember:
The public schools are In many parts closed, the
necessary funds from the Government for rent
and salaries falling. In Valencia, Jatiya and
other places, they are two or three years 10 ar
rear, and the unfortunate masters and mistresseS
have to support themselves by something else.
At the same time the ordinary population finds
plenty Of money for theatres, bull fights, fairs,
fireworks and pleasure generally. The papers
contain appeals from the 'passive" classes for
support, as they can get more from the Govern
ment. The oranges are now being exported. 1t
is good season, although through the railway
lines fruit is brought down from the interior The
other day the diligence from Valencia had hardly
got clear Of the city when 1t stopped by three
armed men, and the passengers were relieved Of
their money, watches, and leWelry. Two military
men were in the vehicle, but discretion formed
the better part Of their vRlor, and they yielded
like the rest. = Trade is suffering very
much from the great difficulty OF communication

A large number Of sorroWlng friends assembled
at the srs enal yesterday to pay the last sad
tribute Of respect to the memory Of Mrs. Laura
A. Brennan, wife Of Lieutenant James Brennan,
U. S. A, and daughter of Captain Frederick
White, ofthe ordnance corps. The remains were
conveyed to the Congressional cemetery and
placed In the vault. From this they will be re-
moved in q few days to their final resting-place
Mrs. Brennan was a native of this city, and
tventy-four years Of age. A singular coincidence
was the fact of her birth, marriage and death oc-
curing on the same day Of the year-the 10th OF
January. She was educated at st. VIncent's
academy, on Tenth street, and was the possessor
of q sweet, amiable disposition, which made her
quite q favOrite among her many friends and
schoolmRtes. Her death creates 8 void in the
family circle that cannot be easily filled and IL
has rendered mOthcrless q bright little RIrI
about four years and q little baby son two months
of age.

ALnnr Island Snake stnru.

Lewis and Sam D, couple of residents of
Long Island, who loved rum and hated snakes,
some years ago went down to the salt marsh to

commencing work, when Lewis proposed to Sam
that they should take drink Of the quart fur

and 1t was a hot day, and they concluded to rest
awhile under the shade Of tree, and then take
another drink in order to get readily on. The
bottle had been passed two or three times, when
Sam said to Lewis: Let's drink the darned stuff
up, and we won't be laundering after it." It was
q bargain, and betwixt the two the bottle was
disposed Of. A pause ensued. Lewis rose to his
feet, threw his seythe over his shoulder, declar-
ing: "I'll be darned If I'll NOW without rum
