111.A.vovILLE, Ballard county, Ky., April
12th, 1807.—The usual quiet of this little rii•
Inge has been disturbed by an incident or
great moment to us, and one iyhich forcibly
Illustrates the old
_saws that "murder will
out" and - " a woman cannot keep a secret."
About eleven years ago there came to this.
country, and settled about five -miles front
this town, a man named Hodson: of South
Carolina, in which State he abandoned his
wife and three children. One of his neigh
bors, named Belcher, was the father of two
buxom daughters, between the younger of
whom, aged fifteen, and Itud.son there
sprung up an intimacy which resulted in the
seduction of the girl. sine years ago this
month 'Judson committed suicide, and vas
found in the garret of his house hanging by
the neck, his knees touching the Skier. Ile
m wt bave.eontrattln deell i some four or
flue days heron. loos nosy was t iscoverea, as
the remains had commenced to decay, rind,
one side of the face and ear were much eaten
away by the rats. A coroner's ingtteSt was
held over the body and a verdict of suicide
was returned.. One of the jurors, however, ,
noticed something like a piece of iron in the
ear of the deceased, but did not examine it
very minutely, nor did he mention the fact
for some tithe after.
The younger Belcher girl married - a man
by the name of McNabb, with •ohom she has
since lived very happily, notwithstanding
she became a mother, in a few months oiler
years old, and has consequently been in this
comatose condition a period .of twelve years.
When awake she does not appear to stiffer,
except from a drowsy, gaping inclination,
and a persistent effort to cleanse her throat
of phlegm. She never complains .of any
bodily pain. In sleep she is very nervops at
times, and appears to suffer considerably by
the violent twitching and jerking of her mus
cles and limbs, and her hands are clenched
tightly as•if enduring severe pain.- The pa
roxysm wilt continue perhaps live minutes.
and she then !deeps as calmly and quietly as
an infant
Her food consists of mush, gruel and such
things as are usually- given to confirmed in
valids. When awake she will answer ques
tions asked her, and can converse with some
intelligence, but never exhibits any interest
in anything, or desire to talk. Talking seems
to be Li labor to h 4. She, of course, has ,
never had any of the advantages of educa
tion or society, and her ideas of everything
are quite childlike. Her features are inclined
to be pretty, and though deprived of the
fruits of health, are not marked.by that sickly
palor which her condition would indicate.
She has long, dark, wavy hair,' which her
poor old mother takes great care in cothbing
and dressing, and her compleiion is that of
spate, delicate brunette.. 'She is of ordinary
size, and her. limbs and muscles.well propor
tioned and developed. She has grown con
siderably since her affliction. Her name is
3liss Mary Godsey,-aud po.r
widow lady, dependent upon the charity of
neighbors and visitors for support. She has
been visited since her affliction by many em
inent physicians, but her condition defies all
medical skill. -Indeed we have not met any
one who claims to understand the cause or
nature of her disease.—Mektium (Ky.) CoLo

Appalling Case.
The Indianopolis Joartuit relatr.s the rot
• A mast singular antrappalling catastrophe
occurred, in the toWn• of Columbus, about
forty miles south of this city, on the Afselson
ruilroad. About eight o'clock in the morning
the attention of some citizens on the ftreet
was attracted to the liquor shop of a.German
by the name of Andrew Kobe, by a slight
smoke issuing from' it. lie had long been
known to be a very intemperate man, and re
cently, it was supposed in consequence of his
wife leaving him, and applying for a divorce
on account of his confirmed drunkenness,
more constantly and beastly drunk than usu
al. On-entering they found him lying dead
behind his counter, upon a board which MIS
need to keep his feet off the wet floor, with
hisjiead near a whiskey barrel. Ills clothes
were still burning. Hi; lips had been entire
ly burned away, leaving a ghastly hole, in
which his tongue, was seen burned toa crisp,
as was the insule,of his mouth and his throat.
llis nose also was burned as if by fire coni
in. out of his nostrils. The remainder of the
body was scorched, where the burning
clothes had touched, hut showed no other
indication of fire. The bands were drawn up
to the mouth, as if to close-it, or shut off some
dreaded thing from it • There was no fire
In the room that Br. Whiteside could see,
and certainly none near the horrible corpse.
A revolver was found beside it, but all the
charges were in it, and no marks of injuries,
except from the fire, were discovered, so that
the death could not have been caused by sui
cide. But if it had been, the lips burned en
tirety off,, and the crisped tongue, thmat and
nose, would have been still more inexplica
ble, as the tire was manifestly of very rcrent
occurrence—the clothes still burning—and
it could not have been applied after death
by some other person with - out detection, w
some mark or other that would Indicate
where the fire came from and how it was
used. But if it could have been thus applied
it is impossible to believe that it was, for
there could have been no motive to burn a
dead man, especially
,about the mouth and
nose. The same fact of the singular charac
ter and loCality of the burning,. involving
only the air passages, precludes all idea of a
death by violence. No hypothesis of murder
seems to be tenable, and that of suicide is
even more absurd. We must, therefore, con
clude that the death was caused by spontane
ous combustion, or, by the burning of Inflam
mable gases, generated in the whiskey-rotted
carcass, and escaping by the lungs and air
passages. This might have been caused by
an attempt to light a cigar with a Match or
other dame. • •

oancrunun lately complimented a lady
on her improved appearance. "Yon am
guilty of flattery," said the young lady. "Not
so;' replied he, "for I vow you are us plump

thought you guilty of flattery only, hut you
are now actually making game of me."
A Young Lady Asleep Twelve Years.

she married. - The fatuity prospered; the
elder sister likewise married and was notch
real eeted,- none of the neighbors having
aught to say against either of the girls. But
there was a skeleton in both of' the house
holds; and the sisters, as - they plodded
along the journey of life, were continually
harnessed by fears and doubts, each striving
in vain to lay the visions which haunted their
minds. "
few week; since, during a fit of despon
dency, the younger sister divulged to a neigh
bor the terrible secret which had so long
weighed upon her, consell.nce mat made her
life a torment. It was that her-elf,-with her
sister and husband, had murdered Iftub.on !
Iles story was, that in company with 31e-
Nab!), whom she afterward: married, and
her elder sister, she called. upon 'Hudson,
and, telling hint of her situation, upbraided
him with her betrayal. Hudson attempted
to laugh away the affair, and for.•thc first
time informed her of his being a married
man. This incensed both the sisters and
McNabb, allot' whom commenced an assault
upon Matson, as had been previously agreed
upon in case he refused to render justice to
the girl-he had so foully wronged. Hudson
was easily overpowered and killed by driv
ing into his ear a portion of the iron spindle
belonging, to a spinning wheel. Mier the
murder was accomplished the body was
taken to the loft of the cabin, and lett hang
ing by the neck, as he was found several
days thereafter.
The woman to whom the fearful secret
was,imparted divulged the filet before the
grand jury of the present term of the Circuit
Court, who at once founil a bill against Mel
Xahb, Ids wife, and sister•in-taw ; and yes-
this town, and placed in jail. • •
• The women are both decidedly good look
ing, but their countenances seem to indicate
that they have no hope.
Congressional Morality.,
We were infinitely amused by, a juke upon
tt number of the men of the. last Congress.
.It is too good to he left unpublished.
A couple of merry fellow?, one of them a
disting,ulsbed, member of Congres, and the
other a distinguished ex-editor from Ky.,
concocteda letter purporting' to be address
ed by a young lady to a fine looking gentle
man: It waigotup in first-rate style. The pre
tended young lady set forth therein that she
had several times seen the gentleman she
was addressing, that she was captivated by
his fine nice and manly form, that her heart
was deeply touched by all site saw and heard
of him, that she must make his acquaintance
obeftwe he left the city, that she hoped and
{frayed that he would forgive her seeming
boldness, as it was the first imprudent act of
her life, that she haul always moved and was
still moving in the highest circles of the cap
ital, that she would be on it certain square of
a certain street at precisely 12 o'clock on the
following day, in a dress which she 1124 as
cribed with great particularity, and that she
hoped and trusted that he would_ meet
her, and thus afford her an opportunity for a
brief personal intercourse with the idol of
her heart. The wags had thirty or forty 'of
this letter writtenbya female friend of theirs,
and they sent these copies to between thirty
and forty members of Congress, selecting
those of course who were known to entertain
a very exalted opinion of their own personal
4seinations.
E verything thus arranged, the two jokers
called upon us and another young gentle
man, explained what they had done, and in
vited us to get into their carriage, ride with
them to the place of designation, and see the .

A Man Digs up the Corpse of Ws Wife

An extraordinary case of violation of the
sepulchre has just occurred in the French
Deliartritent at Lovroil (Nord.) 'A workman

about a month ago, to lose his wife, to whom
he '.SS greatly attached. and a few days after '

Recently, after spending a shOrt time in a

took bad still further unsettled his mind, he
returned home, took a spade. and proceeding
to the cemetery, coMmenced removing, the
earth from the woman's grave ; after some
hours' lawn - he succeeded in bringing the
'coffin to the surface, and then forcing off the
tifilioksont the corpse, and carrying it home
in his um., placed it in his bed, and then,
after lighting a fire, Went and informed. hree
of his neighbors that his wife had returned
home. These latter, although. not attaching
any importance to his words, accompanied
him home with pie view of inducing him to
retire to rest, but t were horrified to find the
body as Magnanjhad stated. •
The unfortunate workman spoke to it as
still living, and endeavored to obtain a reply
by addressing it in the most endearing terms.
Finding it, however. deaf to his entreaties,
he allowed himself to be persuaded to carry
it back and place it in the coffin which he re
stated to the grave; he also filled in the earth
and went home to sleep. On the following
day lifagnim had no recollection of what
had taken place on the previous eyenirig,but
