Tho town of Felicity, Ohio, is just now
enjoying something in the nature of sensa-
tiOn. There lives IN the village an aged
colored couple by the name of Bright. With
the aged colored couple lives little grand
child, Lizzie Higgins. Three weeks ago
some one sent this 4-yoar-old child primer.
The child never attended school in her life,
mother had she at any time received private
instruction, yet she reads tho book from
beginning to end aloud. So astonished and
alarmed were the grandparents when she
began to read that they burst into tears,
supposing her possessed Of some supernatural
agency. A few days since the wife of POST
master NIolon, being slleptical, selected
letter from n number, and handed it to her
with the request that sho read the address
This she did correctly. Prof. Ullory, princ-
pal Of the public schools, tool, her to his
house and tried his powers in various ways
and says she both reads and prOnounces
correctly, Tho great number of people that
are visiting her pronounce her wonderful
child, and no ono protonds to account for her
faculty of reading without ever havin ng
learned TO do 50.
