n strange Death.

Thomas Odell a young man of twen-
ty-two years, living seven miles back Of
Greenup, KY, has met death in strange
manner. He had been a puzzle to ply
sicians for several years. He was affected
by what he ate TO such an extent that
when he INDUCED i'll beef eating about
an hour afterward no would become
restless and wander out in search of
cattle and below as an OK, and would
get down on his hands and knees and
eat grass like cow. When he partook
of mutton his actions were those of u
sheep, and he would plaintively bleat
like a lamb. When he ate chicken he
would go out and scratch for worms,
which he would devour with apparent
relish.
After eating fish he would wander to
the creek and go in swimming. One day
his father killed several squirrels. of
which the son ate heartily for dinner.
He left the house shortly after and was
followed by the father. The father saw
him enter an oak grove, and soon saw
his son jumping nimbly from limb 10
limb, at the same time barking like n
squirrel. He called for him 10 come
down, but this only seemed TO make the
boy want TO escape, and he attempted 70
lump from one tree 10 another, but
missed and fell to the ground, man
gled, breathless mass of humanity, and
expired in less than five minutes. At

Ivory anklets, often very heavy, arc
only worn by the Ibo women of wealth
and importance, but the metal anklets
worn by others may be many pounds in
weight, and some Of them wear huge
brass plates, perhaps n foot III diameter,
which, once fixed to the ankles, are never
removed. The men wear a single strip
of cotton cloth, but those who come
much in contact with the Europeans are
now learning TO wear trousers. Their
weapons are flintlocks, bows and spears
the latter both for hurling and thrust
ing.
The huts are built of mud and mat
ting and are quadrangular in shape. The
center is an open courtyard, at one end
of which is the apartment Of the head of
the house. while the wives and family
are accommodated in other rooms on the
right and left of the courtyard. There
is no furniture or ornament, and but a
few household utensils and weapons.-
