A singular Case.

HARRISBURG, Pa.-Hundreds of people
are still hocking to the residence of John
ParthemOre, at Steelton, where little
Lille Bodmer Is lying in what is denomi-
mated religious trance. Her form is
rigid. Sne constantly stares upward and
claims to be in communication with God.
Lille is said to have been converted on
the 1st inst, at a revival at Steelton. Her
religious fervor was followed by calm,
which was succeeded by the trance. The
physicians are unable to prescribe any
treatment, and the only things she has
eaten since her confinement are oranges
and ice cream. She seems to believe her
self in heaven and almost constantly
speaks of Christ. She recognizes no one
by name.
FLYING AROUND WITH JESUS.
While talking of objects which she
claims to see in the spirit world she will
stop suddenly, her form will become
rigid, her eyeballs roll upward and re
main fixed, anj her hands and arms con
tinue stiff ID whatever position they hap
pen TO be when she sinks into the trance.
she was asked by Rev. Mr.. Keefer where
she had been, and she replied:
''Oh! | have been flying around with
Jesus. We have been to High Spire,
Highland, Harrisburg and Steelton. Oh!
We have been all around"
She never received any educs ion, q fact
to be noted in her formation of senten-
ces. Upon returning to consciousness
from one of her frances, during which she
had wept, she vas ssked what made her
cry. Her answer was, oh! | was pray
ing for my relatives"
When any one speaks to her she does
not look at them, but feels for their
hands and takes them IN hers. She has
dever read the Bible; yet whenever she is
asked by any one who holds her hands
about certain biblical doctriues, she will
answer i'll an intelligent manner. When
asked question she cannot answer she
says, "Wait, I'll ask Jesus
Then she turns her head to the wall,
her lips move, and little later she gives
the correct answer. She speaks of the
Lord with perfect freedom and assur-
ance, and is extremely afectionste with
those who talk to her. The girl never
gets any spasms, is not hysterical and
does not grow weak. She is wholly with
