Heroic Act Of a Woman.

A poor woman living in small
cottage in Williamsport, Pa, was
assaulted the other night, during
the absence of her husband, by
a burglar, who robbed her of all
her money amounting to some
$160. The fellow went outside, and
after comforting with some accom-
plices came back and demanded
more money. She declared that
she had none. He again went out
and was overheard saying some
thing to his companions about
MURDER" The woman then ex
tinguished the light, and taking
from the wall shotgun, crouched
down beside window and waited
till she heard her assailant ap-
preaching again. A he pushed
open the door she levelled her gun
at him and fired. He fell without.

about handful of shot, aud when
fired rebounded with such force as
to knock the woman down.

The COaI-Freight COnpira-
tors.

AT Cumberland, on Tuesda Y,
Judge Alvey passed sentence on
the canal boatmen convicted of
conspiracy in combining 10 force
an increase OF freight on coal, and
called attention TO the gravity of
the otfense, admonishing boatmeu,
coal companies, and all others,
that any combination to control
prices by which the business ofthe
community is inter- pied, is ilIe-
gal and contrary to the common
law. But as this was the first case
of the kind ever tried in the coun-
ty, the court would make the pen
atty rs light as possible. A fine of
twenty-five dollars and costs was
imposed on each of the traversers.

Along Trance.

The latest Brooklyn sensation
ca me to light on Saturday in he
discovery of a young lady who
has been ia trance since Christ
mas. Her mothers name is Rob-
erts, and she is the widow Of
famous pilot. On the day before
Christmas, while a gentleman was
conversing with the young lady
and mother, the former voluntari-
ly made the remark "Oh, moth
er dear, / am so tired, i must go
to bed / want to sleep forever"
She retired, went to sleep appar-
emily and has laid in trance ever
since. She has eaten scarceley
anything since first going in this
peculiar state, the only food she
has partaken of being little ice
cream two weeks ago, at which
time she drank quart of water.
Medicine Is given to her by inhal-
ing. The ordinary functions of
nature are of course in suspense.
While in this state her body is
rigid and her hands tightly clench
ed together. If her mother or sis
ter, who are in constant attendance
upon her, request her to open them
she will not, but in the morning
when the ordinary additions are
performed she opens them of her
own accord to be washed When
they are closed the strongest man
could not open them. She has
0Sknd for wafer at finapS and
once for ice cream but any attempt
to converse with her is futile. Her
pulse is from II to "a, her DO dy
warm, but temporarily chilly inn
mediately after drin king water.
The physician seems to be the only
enc who has any power
over her, and that apparently
seems to be of q kind as mysteri-
Gus as the malady.

yarn to spin to the wondering
countrymen. He has been as a
Whaler, and says his ship got
blown from its course, and food and
water gave out. After three days
lots were cast among the crew in
order that one should give his life
to sustain that of the others. The
blank was drawn by an old sailor
and he being favorite, there was
a cry from many that his life
should be saved. 1t became evil
dent that mutiny must prevail.
The captain and party and other
sailors formed sides and armed
themselves ready for a bloody
fight, but just then there came a
cry of "a SAIL" and every sailor
dropped his arms and good feet
