For tue past two or three weeks she has been

Gently she was seized with violent
spasm and seemed to lose consciousness. Her
writings were fearful to witness, and, as they
increased in intensity, it required the united
efforts of four men to keep her in bed. The
patient was nearly exhausted { ON the violence
OF her struggles, but still kept clutching and
tearing at the bed clothing, and occasionally
knocking her head against the headboard OF
the bed. Then she would coax her attendants
to come near her, and when they did so, would
make frantic efforts to bite them. Her screams
are irightful to hear and it is evident that she
cannot last much longer. 1T has been noticed
that her symptoms are greatly aggravated
whenever she is exposed to tho slightest
draught Of air, although she has swallowed
several glasses of water without any bad effects.

tending n Collision.
The survivors of the British steamship Lax
ham, which collided with the Spanish steamer
Gijon, not far from Corunna, report that on
the evening the collision there was thick
fog. The IaXhum was going slow, and both
steamers were sounding their whistles. The
Gijon struck the Laxham amidships, and the
latter was nearly cut asundcr. The funnel
fell and the stcampipe burst. The chief
engineer, in reversing the engine, was
horribly scalded. Most of the Laxhams
crew boarded the Gijon. Capt. Lothian
tied his wife and child to himself and
all three We're thus hauled aboard the CHOU by
a rope The Laxham sank twenty minutes
after the collision occurred. 1t was not long
before the Gijon began to settle. Terrible con-
fusion prevailed on board. The captain stood
with revolver in his hand but ha was unable
to keep order The passengers and crew were
fighting for their lives. The boats were lower
ed and filled to the gmwales, but they could
not accommodate half the people. Those who
were SO fortunate ms to secure places in them
were obliged to keep off others with knives.
The Gijon sank bow first. The quarter deck
was crowded with men and women, the cap
tim and officers standing on the bridge. 1t is
estimated that 100 persons persisted.

make no change in the prices of coal during
August The Philadelphia& Reading coal and

the Reading company has but five thousand
tons focal on its wharves at Port Richmond,
and that the greater part of it is chestnut AMI

this season.
