Starving Herself 10 Death

MISh VIOLET, OF ALEXANDRIA, VA,
BELIEVES SHE is INSPIRED BY THE
LORD, AND HIS TASTED THIRTY
FIVE DAYS.
Miss Chloe Ann Violet, resi-
dent of the Second Ward in this
city, thirty-fve days ago started cut
on a starvation fast, under the i'm
preston that the Lord she had
served for many years required an
other sacrifice which must be her.
self. Thiriy-tive days ago this lady,
respected by all who knew her, re-
ceived, according to her belief, the
Divine command, and from that
time she has abstained fom ailkinds
of food for the body, bat spiritual food
sic has INDUCED in to a great ex-
tent. She has spent the entire time
| Of Ler fast in prayer ard medita-
ion and iii reading the Scriptures.
Miss Violet Claims that her fast is
IN aceo,da, &C with an unmistakable
command from the Lord Jesus
Christ, who appeared to her and
told her that if she committed SUI
eide in any other way except by
fasting she would be guilty OF a
great sin, and would be held re-
sponsible, but if in a fast she
starved TO death, tie gates Of glory
would be thrown open to her.
Many friends Of the deluded lady
have tried 10 persuade her out o.
her strange haiiucination, but theil
efforts have been in vain. She
kept up until yestel day, when
overcome by weakness, she had &c
take TO her bed. where she remains
as fully deiel mined TO obey the
supposed command of tie Lord as
when she first started out on heI
suicidal course.
Rev. Mr. Poulson, OF the Mctao.
dist Episcopal Church, at the re
quest of her friends, has visited
Miss Violet and convcrsed anc
prayed with her but TO no pur
pose, Tor he left her with her de-
termination mistaken not TO take
food. Miss Violet becomes ex-
cited at the mere mention 0 10 d

WEAVING Of Colts.

IT'D. Virginia. Cass Co., HI
Ouery:-I am especially interested
in the veterinary department. and
have hoped for sometime that some
one would make a query that would
suit my case, but as M one has |
will ask your veterinary editor to
please state through the Prairie
Farmer the best time to wean colts
that were foalcd during the month
OF May and the mare again III
foal. and whether Or not ii be any
injury to the colt that will be
foaled next spring, to let the mares
suckle the present colts until late
in the fall. The mares aud colts
are Oh pasture, and are in gooa
flesh.
Rep1y:-The colt that is born
in the month OF May, should he
weancd in September or October
bv which time it will have devel-
oped SO far as to be able to sustain
iiself upon ordinary food, and
nothing is gained by letting 1t re-
nam longer with the maze. Ii the
colt is weak, or for some reason
backward in development, it would
not injure the mare, nor have any
influence upon the ioetus IN the
womb, if tie colt remained with hei
one or TWO months longer; pro
,lded OF course that the mare was
allowed extra care and nutritious
feeding, From five 10 six months
is the proper time to wean COLT
under ordinary circumstances.

tate had died since last meeting. Rev.

ing. The Presbytery is raising means,
with encouraging success, TO build a
parsonage a, Capon Bridge. The fol
lowing delegates were appointed to the
General Assembly at Staunton in May,
viz
Ress. a. c. Hopkins and John A.
Scott, and Ruling Elders Joseph Van
meter, of Moorefeld, and Giles Cook,
of Front Royal, with the following al
,erns,es Messrs. Hollis, I. NJ. W GODS,
Wolverton and T. n. Lupton.
Presby,ery selected Piedmont as the
place OF next meeting, but afterwards
reconsidered and selected Oakland as
the place, and DIST of September as the
time of the meeting.
Mr.. Charles Chisiten was examined,
and Presbytery resolved to hold meet
ing at Berkeley Springs to ordain and

cE~ A Valuable FAMILY RELIC.-Mr.
.Imo. 6. BccklHm, Of Alexandria, Va, has
been presented by Col. Gee. l.. Stewart,
ofthc Virginia Midland Railway, with IL
cane carved by his, Mr.. Beckham's dis
tinCui>hed relative, Major Fountain Beck
ham, who was killed by John Brown at
Harper's Ferry. The cane, which is Il
stick of ordinary size, is most complete
piece of workmanship, and must have re-
auired years OF study and patient labor on
the part of Maj. Bcckham, WHO was at the
time of the famous raid agent ofthe Balti-
more and Ohio railroad, and one of the
most prominent citizens OF Jefferson
county. The bark on the stick has been
ingcniously turned into birds OF the air,
beasts of the field and fish Of the sea,
fowls of the farm yard, reptiles, insects,
mechanical tools, &c, all clear and dis
iinct, recognizable at a glance, while at
the same time furnishing hours Of pleas
aud study. The cane is a valuable family
relic, and is highly appreciated by the
gentleman now possessing 1t.
