\ MANIAC CAPTURED IN A NUDE STATE
NEAR MAX MEADOWS PERFECTLY SCARF
FIHD-HlS POCKETS FULL OF GOLD" 4
WOMAN AT THE BoTToN OF IT."-On Satllr-
day evening lasta stranger drew up at the
residence OF Mr.. Thomas Wood, at Max
Meadows, who, we are told, keeps house
OF private entertainment, and desired lodg-
ing for the night. He was accommodated.
and at the usual hour he retired. There
was nothing striking in the appearance OF
the man, but the person who lighted him
to his bed was surprised to see
him render himself perfectly nude
placing his clothes under his pillow-be-
fore going to bed. 4 few hours passed,
which brought on midnight, about which
time the loud cries Of "murder!" were
heard proceeding from the direction OF
the residence OF Mr.. Samuel Crockett,
who lives about a mile from Mr.. Wood.
Mr.. Wood and others were not long in
reaching the spot from which the start
ling sounds emanatcd, when the glitterng
beams OF the moon revealed the form OF
Mr.. Woods lodger, entirely minus cloth
ing. standing on the top of a fence with
club in his hands. With some difficulty
he was restrained and conducted back
to the premises, when his entire person was
found to have been cut and scratched III
horrible manner by the bushes and brlars
Though which he had run in his manlacal
madness A search the next morning re-
suited in the finding of his clothes scattered
along the route he had taken, in the pockets
of which were S247 in gold, and greenbacks
to the amount of SIT. The unfortunate man
was kept secure until Sunday evening, when
he was brought to this place and lodged IN
iail. DR.. r. e. Moore visited him and found
him quiet and communicative. He gives his
name rs John Martin, his home as Dobson,
Surry county, n. c., and at first seemed to
be demented from the fear OF being cap
tured by the Masons, whose secrets, he sald,
he had exposed; but Dr.. Moore is con-
WINGED from statements made to him on a
second visit, as we'll as on third when he
was appointed as one OF a commission OF
lunacy, that his arrangement is attributable
to q wonan in some way. When alone he
is heard talking to some imaginary person 4
whom he familiarly calls "Aleck," but no
thing can be learned through this.
Judge Boiling appointed commission OF
lunacy yesterday morning, which consisted
of Drs. r. Z. Moore and S. 4. Sayers. The
lunatic was quickly pronounced such, ana
so reported: whereupon the authorities OF
Dobson were communicated with and put
in possession of the facts regarding Martin:
Martin is thirty-four years OF age, well
dressed, and man Of good personal APP
pearance, and DR.. Moore informs us from
knowledge of the family that he is man OF
highly respectable connections. - W theUiNe

. UNQUALIFIED APPRECIATION.
BOSTON. November IL, 1S7i

ii. X. STEVENS, ESQ:
Dear Sir,-During the past five years have had
ample opportunity TO judge of the merit of VEGE-
TINE. My wife has used it for complaints attending
. lady Of delicate health with more beneficial results
than anything else which she ever tried. have
given it to my children under almost every circum-
stance attending large family, and always with
marked benefit. have taken 1t myself with such
great benefit that cannot find words to express my
unqualified appreciation Of its goodness:
While performing my duties as police oiicer In
this city it has been my lot to fall III with great
deal of sickness. unhesitatinsly recommend VEG
ErINE, and never knew Of case where 1t did not
prove all that was claimed for it. Particularly In
cases of debilitated OF impoverished state OF the
blood its effects arc really wonderful; and for all
complaints arising from IN impure state OF the
blood it appears to work like charm, and do not
believe there are any circumstances under which
