Seventeen fatnlllce nro afflicted with the | icculli\i malady. The thing -Uns been going on for nearly a month and some thirty persons arc on the verga of ilcath. The peculiar malady secures awhole family at a time , from youngest to oldest. They cannot sleep or rest at night and keep pining away until they become mere skeletons. The symptoms In all the cases are olmllar. Several of those aflllctcd say they arc being constant ! } pursued by black cats , which make faces ami snarl at them. Some of them also say that certain rooms In their houses arc Infested wllh the strange evil spirit. A. M. Miller came to the city and reported the .matter laet night. He Is a victim of the strange disease and had to bo carried to and irom the carriage which conveyed him , owing to weakness. His wife and four sons are down with the disease nnd are likely to die. .Mr. 'Miller says that the people flrmly be- llevo that the whole thing Is the work of Borne witch whom they cannot locate. Some of the horses , cattle , sheep anil swine arc victims of the dlwase. The people iiavc burned their feather beds and resorted .o other ancient methods in the hope of get ting rid of the spell , but they claim they canjiot shako It off. Physicians cannot llagnose the malady , but assure the patients that It Is duo to natural causes , possibly resulting from an uimnltary condition of the . village. _ _ STOHV OP A YOUTHFUL IMIOUIRV.
