Many persons have addressed us inquiries concerning the boy, and one gentleman whose letter we gave in full, stated a simi lar circumstance of a lady with whom he was personally acquainted. ' ' Yesterday we received a visit from Mr. Ettlow, Sangamon county, Illinois, who confirms, sojme of ' the startling statements which we have already made. He says the boy -(whose name we must still withhold out of respect to the earnest wishes of his pareut) was eoeu at his house several 'times tiii his parents aasert solemnly that he '. vrts home in this ciry and loomentanly ex pected to d.e.

He is daily wasting a way and cannot long survive. . ine -wriLer nas naj an interview with the fimily and has eeu the boy, together with a'li umber of," gentlemen in this city, who will vouch for these statements. ' A few facts concerning his history may be, of .interest to 'superstitious; persons and those load ot the wonderful..-.' IIis mother , tatee that he learned to talk with difficulty raud has always been strangely abstracted in mauner, aud yet in all other respects he i net uiilike any other child. Two years ago he was drowned iu a pool, while playing with other children, and was brought out of the water and restored to life after having been dead eight minutes. 5 'in ins birtn tnere is nothing mvatenous. He is ' net the "seventh son of a seventh bob," nor anythiug of the sort. He is simply flesh aud. blood. Prof. Wilhelm, of Virginia! has, we learn, written to parties in this city informing them that he was corning hither to investigate the case. i The organ of fin society and fair women, the Home Journal, has this illustration of the progress of civilization and woman's rights: . " - : "In the bar-room of a first-class jotel at pop'r iUi.d summorsort, thifra was seen fat 10 o'clock one Sabbath evening, a few weeks since, a merry party of some thing like twenty ladies and gentlemen, about 1 equally divided, enjoying, with sparkling conversation and gay laughter, the usual variety of drink6r appropriate to the season 'punches,' 'cobblers,' "'sours,' etc. .There was apparent no ribaldry or obscenity,- no intoxication, no brawling -nothing to disturb the prevailing quiet and . sanctity of the day, save at times a rather, boisterous merriment and familiar sociality; but the incident wae of serious importance, and provocative .of serious thought, as showing the tendencies -of our modern fashionable society, and . especially the fe male portion of it." . j Dying.
