Physicians nnd tho peoplo In genornl of this vicinity hnvo been giving much attention to n strnhgo alllietlon of Miss Hattlo Benedict, tho 10-ycnr-old daughter of Kllsha Bene dict, a well known farmer. Miss Bene dict four months ago fell asloep, or rather lapsed Into n cataleptlo trance, and did not awnkn for five weoks, except at long Inter vals, when sho was conscious for only a few minutes at a tlino. Onco during this period whon skonwoko her mother hurried to get hor some food, but before sho could prcpnro it tho girl sank back In a tranco. At tho end of live weeks she awoke with nn acute pain at tho base of tho brain, but her faculties wero In no way Impaired and bor general health appeared good except ing tho symptoms stated. Flvo wtokB ago she fell Into nnothor tranco, which still continues. Her vital functions appear to bo reduced to tho lowest point, digestion being at a stand still. Her muscles aro rigid, but her heart bents and sho breathos rogular. During tho prosent tranco her heart has shifted three times by muscular contraction to the right side, but this does not appear to havo affected Its functions. It Is thought that sho Is hazily conscious of her surroundings during theso trances, becauso when sho awoke from tho former sho had somo vague recolloctlons of whnt had happened by hor bedside. It Is believed by hor physi cians that these attacks arc duo to scarll tlual poisoning during her Infancy.

The harmonious relations which havo been existing between County Contioller Severn and tlio County Commissioners since last September, when tho former took otlice uuder appointment by Governor Hastings, are badly ruptured and there is no telling where the war now on will cud. At present the gamo la a draw and all con cerned on both sides aro minus their salaries pending a solution of tho points raised by some legal tribunal. The hitch arose over refusals to countersign warrants for salaries. When Controller Severn asked tho Commis sioners to draw an order for $150 for the January salary of Deputy Controller ltceso they declined to do so, on the ground that Mr. Iteeso could not bo recognized under tho agreement made between the Commissioners and Controller, whereby tho letter's official position was recognized. t)n Saturday afternoon the Commissioners' clerks piesented their warmuts to tlio Con troller for their January salaries, and he re fused to approve or countersign them. Tho Deputy County Treasurer has refused to pay any of tho employos until the dispute Is settled, nieanwhilo all the employes In the court house and jail under appointment jf the County Commissioners ore minus their salaries. Tho Commissioners claim that when they recognized Controller Severn in his oilicial capacity they did so with the understanding that ho was to make no appointment of a deputy or other subordinates until aftor tho final disposition of the test caso pending on the I.iizcrno county Controllcrship. Tho Commissioners hnvo summoned County Solicitor Ulrich and expect to havo a consultation with him this afternoon, Controller Sovern, through bis counsel, S. Hard Edwards, Esq., this morning asked tho court fora mandamus requiring the County Commissioners to pay tho salary of the Deputy Controller, but it will take at least thirty days bel'oro any result can be at tained tindor tho proceedings.
