A Monomaniac The following rin
gubir affidavit was made before a justice
of the peace for lloboken, a few days
since, for the purpose of allaying the
fear of a man who perfectly sane on
every other subject imagines that he
is persecuted by fiends:
tfialr of AY W Jersey, Jftidscn County, .. .
Thomas Murphy being duly sworn,
deposes and says that be is a resident of
the City of lloboken, in Hudson Coun
ty, and resides at No. 22 1 llleoinftold
street, in said oily, and that deponent
has been, and is still, pursued by evil,
disposed persons, or fiend, who persis
tently persecute depnetit by attacking
him by nihtaswcll as by day, with
vile, deadly, and noisome gasscs, causing
revere pnins and mental agony, tortur.
ing him by every means known by the
villain, causing him to be deprived of
bis natural rest, and interfering with
him in hi daily labor, by which schemes,
plots, and devilish machinations his
sii.'ht has almost been destroyed, his
labor unproductive, and bis happiness
destroyed, and bis life endangered. -He
therefore prays that said villains, or
fiends, may be dealt with according to
law.
Sworn and subscribed to tips 17th

it is stated that Mr. Murphy has boon
afilb'ted in this strange manner since

f..r many years. From tlienco he re
turned to Moboken, and imagine that

a groat pigeon roost in one of the wes

iirou-ed a desire in us to see souiething
of tho kind for ourselvc. a desire which
has newr been grMified until now. 'c
have been to see this nostinir. lfe loft
our horses at the bouse of Mr. Stublis
in Highland who directed us to go dowe
the draft south-west from bis house about
a mile. He said wo " couldn't miss
it." Well might he say so, for long
before we reached thorn wo were made
aware ol our proximity by their loud
and contiued noises. V e reached
the nesting about noon. Wc found the
cocks were on the nests while the heus
wcro away feeding. This is one pecu
liarity of the pigeon eminently necessa.
ry to their multiplication. Myriad of
them nesting in one locality it requires
a large scope of country to furnish them
their food. They arc known to feed
fifty miles distant from their nests. The
absence, for this purpose would require
so much time, that the eggs would be.
come cold, were it not that the cock and
the hen each sit ou the nest while the
other feeds. For this reason a flock of
pigeons during the batching season is
always either, all cocks or all hens.
Il'hcn we were there the bens com.
menced coming iu about 3 o'clock in
the afternoon, and coutinucd until wc
left which was between four and live.
The noise made by them coming iu, can
only be compared to a mighty rushing
wind, while the confusion and combina
tion of sounds occasioned by tho cries
and flapping of wings of thoso auioug

The t'enlaus.
Eastpout, Me., April 20. Three
hundred Fenians left here to-day, home
ward bound, finding that there was no
chance to pet hack the arms which were
seized by the United States authorities;
nnd as it was never intended to put Ihc
whole force of tho organization into this
affair, order were received from head,
quarters for all to return to their homes.
The announcement of tho fact created
intense excitement among the Fenians.
They hold private meetings among
themselves, and vowed they would ncv.
cr return without a fight ; but when it
was shoun to them by their leader
here that there was not the faintest hope
of making even a successful raid upon
any point with tho few arms they bad
procured from their schooner during her
detention, the majority became sonic,
what resigned, although they bitterly
complained of what they openly called
the perfidy and mismanagement of some
gentlemen here, regarding whom there
is a great difference of opinion. The
affair has turned out a miserable, fi'tsen ;
lidiculous, did it not bring with it so
many sad consequences. Hundreds of
fino young fellows left their homes,
threw up their situations, cave up every
thing, to join, heart and soul, in this
movement, and it was truly a nielan.
choly sight to sec them leave by the
boat to-day.
The majority arc utterly ruined, not
knowing where to go after they arrived
at their destination, the funds not being
sufficient to do more than to pay their
passage back again. They cried bitter
ly like children on leaving. No more.
