A S1NGULAR cask. a Affiic- A Bates County Lady’s tion. rom the Appleton Journal. One of the most remarkable and distressing cases ot nervous affection ever seen by one of the Journal’s staff was met with last week. Four miles northeast of Johnstown in Bates county, lives *‘Uncle Ned’’ Loggin. a native ot Virginia though fer many years a residence of this State and ot the neighborhood in which ha now resides. He is an old man apparently 65 years ot age, his step slow and feeble, and his hair white with tne frosts ot age. His amily consists of a wite « care worn old lady who seemingly has as far advanced along lite’s rugged way as her husband, four sons and two daughters, only two of the former being at home. A representative ot Journal had occasion to call upon Mr. Log- gin. It was late in the afternoon, and I found Mr. Loggin, twu of his sons and a neighbor at work on the road near the house. As I approach- the ed, alittic boy came out from the house andtold the oldest son that “*Mary was much worse, and they wanted him to come to the house.’’ With this the entire party quit work, and Mr. Loggin and his sons ac- companied by the Journal man re- naired to the house. On the way, Mr. Loggin informed me that Mary, nis daughter, had been sick for about three years with a disease that had bafHled the wits the best physicians he €ould get,that | he had spent « good deal, of money: in trying to have her Gured, and he believed her illness would yet break ainrup. We entered the kitchen and lsat down by the fire place ‘rom whence I could look into the »edroom and see the head of the girl as she lay in her brother’s arms. ier head was nodding up and down and from one side to the other, and ler arms thrown about in the wildest manner. For atime she was still with the exception of the jerking of ner head, and then as if by a sudden impulse, she would spring up and make the greatest efforts to get off the bed, it apparently taking her brother’s utmost strength to hold her. At the solicitation of the old gentle- nan, I entered the bed room that I onght have a closer view of the sut- fering girl. She is apparently 20 or ‘nore years of age, rather tall and strongly built. As she iay there, she seemed oblivious to all that was going oa around her. Presently she seemed to notice me, and to make sure that she was looking at me, I walked back and fourth from one side of the room to the other her eyes all the time followed me. She then beckoned in a manner unintelligable to me. but which was interpeted by ¢he tamily as meaning for me to come to her. I did so, and she took my hands in the most affectionate } nanner and seemed highly delighted | to see me. I stroked her head and | «she, in turn, stroked mine, and she | would frequertly point to her fore- | ‘aead with her fingers as though wishing me to anderstand that there was where the pain was the most severe. | nervous ot stroke here head she would lie quiet | save only the jerking in her head, then again she would start up and make the most desperate efiorts to } get off the bed, then fall back con pletely exhausted. Ihad been at her bedside fully half an hour detore Finally she ‘ooked at me and exclaimed, **Now. Wright, wnat are vou doing now; then again, *‘Wright they are’ stick- knives in my head.” By ner calling ing me Wright, the family con- cluded that she recognized me Dr. Wright of Butler, a physician who has attended her and to whom she seems much attached. I assur- ed her that | would not permit. any one to hurt her, and she quieted down agam, seemingly pacified. During the ennre time that these spells of nervousness are on her, she *s unconscious and flighdy..and im- «Fines thatsome one is trymg to stick knives in her head, trying to sill her, throw her in the fire, or that the Indians are after her.
