THIRTY YEARS In BED.
MITCHELL, Ind, Oct. l5.-The
recent story of the sleeping boy at
Seymour, Ind, recalls a very curious
case at this place. John Vawn, a
mulatto, took his bed about thirty
years since and is still there. His
folks came here from the Carolinas,
and for several years they owned a
farm near town, but during the
war the mother decided to sell il.
Old colored people say that John
threatened TO go TO bed to stay il the
farm was sold, ami he has certainly
kept his word. He was kicked by
horse a shsrt time before, and his
folks think that this was the cause
of his actions. Some Of the best
doctors examined him aud could
discover nothing serious the matter
with him.
He was finally dropped AS a sub,
jeet Of conversation, and many per
sous who lived near did not know
Of hls strange condition nor exis-
tanee until one night when several
were sitting up with the corpse OF
the mother at the house, he sudden

and ghostiy appearance, and severe

present as he knelt by the side Of the
corpse.
