jooq to day Miss Hattie Denoelf
ouiiletod the fortieth day of bet
iuiCutal fagC " Must "tf th4i ah
lie in a ftemi-eomatoM ' stats, but
j'parantly sleeps but little. When
toused she is conscience of all that
toes on about her, and is in thi fulJ
K8session of her mental faculties.
She is, however, very weak, an I en
tirely helpless. Those abou her
say that she is certainly neai the
.hd, and that she cannot possibly
live but a short time, perhaps net
thrrknerh the r.itrht.
, Miss Denelfis a maiden lady fifty-!
two years of age, and lives i t the
family of" her brother-in-law. Dr.
F. H Aylworth. She has been an
invalid for many years. Neuralgia
and nervous troubles have made hr
life one of almost ceaseless pi. in, to
'obtain deliverance from whici vi
adopted the stoic resolution of stai v
ing herself to death. She is ca-d 0
jibe a woman of remarkable will- iow-
er, as the history cf her self-im;. sed
sfast shows. Although for several
years past her conduct has bi en in
many ways peculiar, there has been
no reason to suppose that s e was
insane. A very strange " feature in
'her case is the statement that from
'November, 1879, until Wednesday
night ofeliEef last week no one has
heard h ;r utter a word, although her
organs ( f speech are said to be in no
way affected. All communications
with her relatives and friends she
has made by means of a slate.
On the 23d of Februaay last it
was noticed that she ate no break
,fast. This abstinence from food was
Repeated until her sister and brother-
in-iaw reiuoiiairaxeu wiiii- uor, uu
endeavored to pursuade her to take
some sustenance. It was then that
she made known her purpose of
starving herself to death. She wrote
on her slate, "I have no hope of re -co
very or relief, and am determined
that I will die." Her relatives and
friends among them the Rev. Mr.
Folsem, of the Presbyterian church
were called in. They used all their
persuasive powers to induce her to
renounce her suicidal determination,
but to no purpose.
At last it was proposed to force
her to tike nourishment; but those
most intimate with her ngree.d that
this course would oniy drive her to
some other means of taking her life,
and it was decided that it was best
not to use force, in the hopa that
perhaps she would voluntarily alter
her purpose. SiuO' ; then none but
her most intimate fViemls have been
allowed to sej her and ahe has grad
ually wnsced away until now she
presents almost the appearance of a
living skehton. On March 28th she
wrote on her slate, "Do you think
it would prolong iy Hie to drink
cold water ?" and presented the slate
to Dr. Aylworth. He told her that
if she did not drink she would pi o
bablv have l'i'n and delirium, and
that if she did drink he did uot think
it would prolong her life. There
upon she drmnk freely, and since
then has taken a little water each
day, but nothing else. She takes
the water by sucking it through a
glass tube.
To day shu suffered scarcely any
pain. She had one bad spell during
the night, but it son passed. Her
pulse is between 90 and 100. She
has no fever. Up to 3 o'clock this
morning her respiration was normal
but at that hour it suddenly fell,
without apparant cause, to between
15 and 12, at which it now remains.
It is not expected that she will die
before evening, as all her sinking
spells have occurred at night; but if
she lasts through the night it is not
probable that her wasting '. system
will be able to keep up much . longer
the unequal. struggle with death.

Jiia Cole, known as the 'Pir-ite of
the - lississippi Sound,' has been ar-'
rested in Mobile to the great relief of.
Southern Mississippi, along whose
coast he has plundered for three
years, carrying his swag to the neigh
boring islands. He finally became so
daring that Gov. Stone, of Mississ
ippi, offered $500 for his capture.
New York carpenters and joiners
tret $2.50 to $3 per day. and the em-
Payers have volunteered
to pay a
uniform rate of $3, but they demand
$3.50. House smiths will demand
50 cents a day advance. Some of
the cabinetmakers are agitating an
advance.
In a desperate fight on Tuesday
last, in Carter county, Ky., growing
out of an election feud, three men
were fatally wounded. The affray
inflames an already excited commu
nity, and leads to grave apprehen
sions of bloodshed on a large scald.
