Adtertter, We have been favored with the detatls of ono Of the strangest cases-of which wo ever heard, and one which fs sure to exclte n good deal of interest among medical men. The particulars of the ease are given below: It seems that about two years sinco 5 daughter of Mr. Richard Clare, ‘Caroline by name, and then 17 years of age, Ilving in Lot No. 2, on the accond concessiva of Rodney, was taken fll. Her disease coutd not be cor- reetly diagnosed, and had mony pecutine fea- tures. Her appetite fell off, und she lost flesh il from o strapping girl of 180 pounds welcht sho barely welghed cichty-seven pounds, ‘There did not seem to be any organte complaint, The bodily functions were not. im- palred, and, although sho ate less than former- Jy, the tatling off Iu this respect was not such us in itself would alarm her friends, After the Janse of nfew months she took to her bed. ‘Then itwas thatachange took place in her meatal condition. Formerly she was noted rather for lack of conversational powers, but now its or spasms would come over lier, on the passin away of which her eyes would become set and glazed, her body al:muat tizid, and while in that state she would discourse eloquantly, and give vivid descriptions of far off scenes, far exceeding fu their beauty anything which she lind ever seen or presumably ever read of. On the passing uway of this state she exhibited a great digree of Inssitude and Indisporition to move, and was taciturn and surly in reply to any questions, This con- tinued till aboutamonth since, when an extraor- dinary change oveurred. the eirl, althoucn still not gaining flesh, appeared to rally, She became Ight-hearted and gay, aud her friends anticipated an saris relunse for her from the room to which sho had been contlued su lone. ‘Their expectations were in vain, for sho Is now about the house apparently as weil boiilly as ever. But a most remarkable development has taken piste. Sho is constantly giving uff clec- trical discharzes, and seems to be a perfect bat- tery.
