A REMARKABLE STORY OF A YOUNG
LADY-TwELvE YEARS WITHOUT FooD.
The New York ''Herald publishes re-
markable story, based ON the statement of
DR.. Chas. West, of that city. in regard to
the case Of Miss Mary J. Fancher, of
Brooklyn, who III 1865, at the age of IS
years, had her nervous system completely
shattered by an accident which befell her
whilst stepping from street car, and by
Which she was dragged over the pavement
a block. In February, 1865, Miss Fancher
lost all her senses, even her sense OF touch
and did not take any food until May. but
she lost her speech in few weeks and be-
came subject to frances In June nonrish-
ment was forced by pump into her stom-
ach, which made her deadly sick, AS a
result her throat closed, and she was una
BILE to AXE any nourishment or utter a
sound. For twelve years she has laid IN
one position, for nine in a rigid or para
lyZed state. During these twelve years she
has virtually lived without food. Since
the 4th Of July her eyelids have remained
clused, Her rest is taken in the trance
state, which answers for sleep. Her men
tai state is more extraordinary than her
ply steal. She has the power of second
sight. All places are alike open to her
mental vision. Distance interposes no
barriers. She will dictate the contents of
sealed letters without d single error. She
will visit the family circles of her friends
in distant towns and tell what they are
doing and describe their personal attire.
Persons entering the house of her aunt,
whether acqulintances or strangers, are
instantly recognized She works in en-
broidery and wax without any patterns
Her wax flowers are marvels Of beauty.

She holds the scissors by the knnckles OF

head-she cuts the leaves as sharp as if
they had been cut with die.

election is over there is scarcely any ex

Our beloved pastor, the Rev. Andrew
Robey, closed on last Sunday night, one
of the most remarkable revivals that we
have ever had the pleasure of attending
The revival commenced in the prosperous
Sunday school, of which we have
given notice in former issue, which was
held at this place during last summer. In
that school valuable instructions were
given, which will ultimately rebound in
honor and praise to the great, | am. The
series of meetings lasted about two weeks,
during which time % persons professed to
have obtained the pearl of great prlce, by
having their souls washed in the blood Of
Him who hath loved them and given Him
self for them. We are indebted to the
Rev. Il. P. Wandless and Rev. G. IL.
Thomson, for the opposite and logical dis
courses delivered by them, during the
progress of this interesting megting.

A PLUCKY ADMIRER OF SENATOR
BLAINE.-When Blaine spoke in Des
Moines in October, Mr.. IshmaeL Lee of
Mitchellville, went up to hear the Senator
and ''pluned knight" Lee is a heavily
built man, and is getting over on thatside
of the hill of life where the shadows are
longest. The crowd at Des Moines was
very large, and Mr.. Lee found it difficult
to get place near enough to hear the re-
uoWned Senator While attempting to
mount store box Mr.. Lee fell and broke
his arm. At this point Blaine began
speaking. Lee had great .admira-
tion for Blaine, and was determined to
hear the speech if it took off leg as well
as an arm. So instead of hurrying off to
find surgeon and get the broken arm
dressed, as any student of Socrates in the
groves of Athens would have done, Mr..
Lee mounted his box. stood there patiently
holding his broken limb for an hour and Il
half. until Blaine had finished his speech,
and then walked down to the doctor S

We had occasion to visit this old town,

most beautiful and fertile valleys anywhere

WINTER CLOTHING FOR CHILDREN
Every one must remark that favorite
article of winter clothing for children is
comforter swathed around the neck. This
is a great error; the feet and wrists are the
proper members to keep warm; the face
and throat will harden into healthy in
difference to cold; but that muller, ex-
changed for an extra pair of thick socks
and knitted gloves, would preserve BOY
or girl really warm and well. Bronchitis
and sore throat have declined fifty per
ce.tum since the absurd use OF high col
lars and twice round neckerchiefs went
out of fashion; and if the poor would take
better care of their children $ feet half the
infan:ile mortality would disappear; 1t
only costs tritle to put piece of thick
felt or cork into the bottom of boot OF
shoe. but the difference is often consider
| able between that and doctor s bill, with

STAT IN DEBT AND OUT OF DEBT
1t is interesting to observe how the era of
economy is reducing the State debts and
lengthening the list of States which bear
no debt at all. Colorado. Delaware, Ken

not appear as debtor States at all. Then
there are California, Illinois, Iowa, Kan

are either very small and on the point of
extinction by sinking funds, or held in
perpetual trust for school purposes or
State institutions. This makes Is out of

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

There is, we think, a good deal of ur
necessary uneasiness in the public mind Of
Staunton about the public schools of the
city. There Is plenty of room for discus.
sion but discussion will only tend to per-
pick the parents and would be fruitless
and endless. The new Superintende nt,
DR.. Hamilton, is an earnest, consclen tious
gentleman, who will give his whole atten-
ton to his work and who is animated by q
strong desire for the success of the schools
He should be supported literally by the
Council and heartily by the people. We
shall look with pleasure on his success and
gladly note every evidence of it. He has
been called to the position suddenly and
without warning. and his difficulties are
therefore increased and he is the more en-
titled to an harmonious, cordial and gen
erOus support.

SOUTHERN HERoIsM.-The younger
among us cannot perhaps remember the
keen, warm sympathy with which the En-
glish Of 1861 -65 witnessed the heroic strug-
gle maintained by their Southern kinsmen
against six fold odds of numbers, and odds
of position, resources, vantage ground,
simply incalculable. Even those who from
sympathy with the Northern States were
unfavorable to the cause of great nation
revolving against great tyranny, could not
but feel proud of our near kinShip with
that Incompatible soldiery-so designated
by their enemies which, on fifty battle
fields, maintained contest such as no
other race has ever in modern times main

held for six months, with As 900 men,
