Martha Terhune, spinster, tifty.nine
years old, was buried from her house in
the queer, old fashioned hamlet of Lodi,
N. j., few days ago, having died of the
effect of a fast, which her friends say
lasted eleven weeks, On September 9th
last, Mrs. Gertrude Terhune, her mother,
was stricken with paralysis for the third
time. Miss Martha was then in good
health but was terribly shocked by the
occurrence and took to her bed and
thereafter refused all nourishment,
though she did accept under semi coer
Cion very trifing amount of food dur
ing the first four weeks. After few
days she left her bed and went about the
house part Of the time, but never fully
recovered. The eshock occurred precisely
eleven weeks before her death. Four
weeks afterwards she tasted, as her rela-
tives avouch, the last food that passed
her lips, and the remaining seven weeks
or forty.Dine days, she tasted absolutely.
DR.. John Soper was called in but she
would have no medicine. Mrs. Stephen

Detective d. S. Caster, of the New Or
leans police force, visited Donaldsonville
week before last in pursuit of a colored
woman named Martha, who robbed her
employer, Mrs. NJ. A. Stockton, residing
at No. IL North Roman street, New Or
leans, of $500 in money and about 500
worth of jewelry. Mr.. Caster sought the
assistance of our Town Constable, Joseph
A. Dntfel, and that officer succeeded in
finding the woman's hiding place and
arresting her on the Magnolia planta-
ton, in the neighboring parish Of AS
sumption. The prisoner was turned over
to Detective Caster, who took her to the
city Oh the 3lst Of May, leaving with
Constable Duttol receipt for the fugi-
tive. It was understood that Mrs. Stock
ton had offered liberal reward for the
apprehension Of the thief, and our Con-
stable was led to believe that he would
receive 500, or $50 at least, for his val
liable services in the case. Word was
received from the city the other day,
however, that Mrs. Stockton had paid
over the unmiticent reward of $40 for the
capture Of the thief and the recovery of
her jewelry, of which amount Constable
Dutfel has been rendered SIS.

BILLIARD MATCH.-The match game of
billiards played ut Phoenix Hall last
Sunday evening by Messrs. Frank Mag

NJ. Israel, on behalf of ladies of Donald

by that gentleman. The medal repre-
sentcd q three pointed star. On its face
