out tmmt. FEIDAY FEBRUARY 0, 1874. . ' ' CURIOUS.' ' 'i ' ' A curious instanea of Credulity has recently beeu exhibited . in Cane- wnugns, near the town of ' Avon, in this State. A young woman of the name of Bonney, a spiritualist, living in the bouse of a Mr. u. U. I'reston became impressed with the conviction tliat her spirit was to leave her . Doay for a time and then return, and she sucoeeded in convincing Beveral of her friends that this phenomenon would actually occur. She was very sanguine that her expectations would i be realized, and predicted that dur i ing her spirit's absence certain inani- . testations, sucti as tue nn?iii!f of bell and the shaking of the house, would take place. Her friends were particularly requested not to handle her remains, and above all not to bury them during the period of sus- " pended animation. She complained of no illness, but on the 10th of November announced that the time had come for her departure, and after tea took to her bed, where she , remained calmly conversing with . several friends until midnight. Mr. and Mrs. Preston saw her several times between that hour and two o'clock. At the latter hour Miss Bonney exclaimed, "Oh, this is glorious," and ceased to breathe. There was no struggle nor evidence of pain, i Of course the friends of the young woman marvelled greatly at this fulfillment of her prediction, which gave them faith to believe that in due time her spirit would return to its earthly habitation. In this expectation, however, they were doomed to disappointment. Al though Miss Bonney's remains were kept unburied acoording to her desire from the 10th of November until i Monday last, her spirit had never reappeared. On the last mentioned day a Coroner's inquest was held on tha lifeless body, which of course was in a state of decomposition, and her death was officially established. At the inquest Miss Bonney's brother-iu-law protested against any post mortem examination, avowing his belief that the spirit would yet rotum to animate the docaying body, and several witnesses testified that the house had been violoutly shaken, as! nad Been predicted, and that the cloar noto of a bell had been hoard on several occasions, although thero was no bell about the house except the door boll. The Buffalo Courier says that so far as the physicians were awe to uotcrmine the various organs of the body showed that at the time of death they wore in a sound and healthy condition, and no cause of death could be found.

It !b perhaps not generally known that General Canby, recently killed by the Modoo Indians in the wilds of California, owned a farm within a few miles of this city, that he was preparing for the future residence of himsolf and family after the wars were over, His brother, Charlog Canby, owned a farm adjoin ing that of the General, and lived on it togethor with his family. Tho widow of Canny, doccascd, an othor brother of" the General's also lived in tho saino neighbor hood, and , also a siHtor numod Beulah. ' Miss Canby, a daughter of the widow and nioco of tho (.ieneiul rocently intermarried with ono Ti p Finley, and in duo season gave prom ise of an increase in the family. Strange to toll, her husband dis covering this fact, became enraged and persistently threatened to kill his wife if she becamo a mother. On Monday last the little stranger . mado his appearance and truo to his villainous purpose tho monster approached the door of her chamber and throwing it wide open stood and with a loaded pistol blew his brains out in her presence. The retribu tions of eternity will adjust theso matters with all such characters. Charles Canby and his sister, Miss Beulah, a lady of fine intelligence, went to Indiana to attend tho funeral of her brother, tho Goneral. She was stricken down under tho weight of her bereavement, sorioimlv threat ened with tho entiro overthrow of hor reason, and has, after a painful season of trouble and nHliclion for many mouths, rocently reached her home to find that her brother Charles who attended her on her melancholy mission, had, since his return, entirely lost his intellect and died o( a broken heart. Sorrow and sadness is tho portion of tho cup of thin spirit stricken family. I'uhiiyra (Mo.) iSpeetator. , Maria L. Terry, of South Abimj ton, Massaged about '10, and Lnoy L.

Sho disappeared, four or live years ago, nud whou next hoard from sho was in an insane asylum in Pennsylvania. Hero sho made tho acquailauco of Mrs. Sla ter, who was an lnniato of tho sumo institution. Alter their rolcaso or e capo from the asylum, they started off together nud hnvo been travelling ever since. Two of their winlora wore pass ed in a hut among tho mountain regions of 1'cnusylvania. , The prices puid to trappers and hunters for furs in the Northwest are nearly three times as high as a few years ago. in Montana, many who had quit tho business for more remu nerative employment havo again start ed in pursuit of the beaver, mink, muskrnt, (ox, wcasol and wolf. The high pricos seem to be ausd more by an 'increase of demand than a fall ing off in the supply, for the rivers, creek . and mountains of Montana abound with game valuable for pelU. Frank liosa, eon of ex-Con gresmoan Iloss, of Fulton County, 111., deliber ately shut 1'eter Stipp, eon of the County Clerk, through the right lung, a few days ago, and (hen implored his pnnlon, keying, "God knows, I'ete, I didn't intend to harm you." It is said that Gen. Fremont has cancer of tho stomach, and may not live a yew. JANUS JL. COWAN, (urccmuR or a. cowan a co.)
