A New Trance Sensation. Many cases have been reported of per- sons lying in a trance for weeks at a time, but the majority under investigation have been proved either myths or complete frauds. Ait the present moment, however, English physicians have a case in a London hospital under their own eyes, so that, as the showman says, ‘‘ there can be no de- ception.” The patient, as in most of these cases, is a girl, who lies still and motionless upon the bed. Her eyes are closed, but when the lids are raised be- neath the doctor's fingers, the gaze is bright and intelligent, as thongh the mind were- perfectly conscieus of all that is passing around her, while the pulse beats strong and regular as. that of a person in fall health. The girl has been lying in this state of trance for more than three weeks without food. The account of her seizure is remarkable. She had already beena patient for a few days at the hospital when the nurse was called in the middle of the night to her bedside by the most terrible shrieks and moanings. The girl was found writhing in agony, exclaiming that death was coming on and that she had but a few moments to live. Before the nurse could summon the doctor, the patient had stretched herself out stiff and senseless, and has never recovered motion or conscious- ness since that moment. creating a great sensation medical authorities.

4 YOUNG MAN GORED TO DEATH BY A BULL.

Late on Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Hiram Etter, living with his father, Mr. Bradley Etter,a prominent farmer of Westmoreland Point, N.B.,went into the pasture ashortdis- tance from the house, to take a bull tethered there to the barn for the night. What then transpired was not seen by the family, but a few minutes later Mr. Bradley Etter observed his son tossed in the air by the savage animal. Raising the alarm for help, he rushed into the field. By this time the bull was standing over the prostrate body of the unfortunate young man. The brute was quickly driven off and the young man carried into the house. He was frightfully gored in the abdomen, having evidently been tossed in the air more than once, and perhaps then trampled on. A doetor was immediately summoned, and everything that human care conld do was done to al- leviate his suffering. He died in about an hour anda half, a portion of the time being quite conscious and conversing with those about him.

The affair is acceunted for in this way : The bull, a savage and powerful animal, was tethered with a rope. An iron rod with a hooked end, which slipped in the ring on his nese, served as an instrument by which to lead him about. The rod was picked up afterwards on the spot with the hook broken off. When it broke, it left Mr. Etter practically at the mercy of the bull.

Shot by Wis Master.

Mr. Joseph A. Blair, the paying teller of the Mechanics’ National Bank of New York, went to his home in Montclair last Thurs. day afternoon, at his usual hour, and took his supper with his family. After supper he went out of his house, and accosting his coachman, John Armstrong, near his stable door, spoke to him in reference to certain improprieties of conduct which had been reported to him. An altercation ensued, and Mr. Blair re-entered his house, got from an upper room his leaded revolver and returned to the stable. The coachman en- ‘tered it and Mr. Blair followed. While inside he shet Armstrong twice, inflicting wounds that proved fatal the next night.
