A SINGULAR STORY,
Marvellous Adventure of Blind and Par
alyzed Young Woman.

alyZed young Woman.
The Volkszettung of the city of Tilsit
Prussia, reports: A girl of twenty-five
has been left blind and paralyzed by a
fever. She had consulted a number of
phys icians and had heen under treatment
at the hospital of the University at
Koenigsberg. One day the poor patient
was sitting alone in her room, when an
unknown individual entered and seized
both her hands. She was frightened and
attempted to knock with her char to call
for her family, when the intruder made
her feel broad knife, telling her be would
stab her if she made the slightest noise.
How long he held the patient in that
manner is not stated. On leaving her he
said he would leave an explanatory paper
in the loft upon which her room opened.
Immediately after the girl heard a noise
like the cracking of burning wood and
smelled smoke filling her room. She gave
the alarm, and her parents ran upstairs.
They found a small fire in the loft, but it
was easily extnguished. When they
entered the room they found the girl in a
great fright, but were most joyfully sur
prised when she opened her eyes and
could see them. She could also move her
limbs a little and there is good hope now
Of her entire recovery. They found the
paper the strange visitor had said he
would leave, but there was nothing writ
EN- on it but few unin telligible words.
