A letter was dropped into the General Poat-ofiioo yesterday addressed thus: Taov, N.Y., Feb. 6.â€"â€"The residents of Fort Edward are excited over the case of Miss Annie Carter. which has. thus far, evinced phenomenal features. Last Friday evening she was attending a social entertainment, and during the festivities was exceedingly vivacious and apparently in excellent health and temperament. Suddenly the lady fell to the floor suflering from an evident faint. A physician was called and pronounced her dead irom heart disease. and preparations were at once commenced for the funeral and inter. meat. It was noticed that the body retained a healthful hue, the cheeks showed traces of color. and the flesh looked the same as when she was alive. The bady also continued warm and the limbs flexible, and the muscles only showed a slight rigidity. The funeral arrangements were postponed. . Several physicians have consulted in the case, but are unable to decide whether the lady is dead or in a trance. She has been in the same con- dition during one week. There is no pulsation or heart-beat perceptible; neither does the scientific apparatus indicate a blood heat temperature about the body. The flash when pinched changes color. but returns to the same shade as that of a well person. Thou- sands of people from the surrounding districts have visited the premises and the interest is great in the case. The funeral has been set down for Sunday, unless the young lady shall evince some signs of animation. It is asserted by her relatives that Miss Carter has fre- quentlyexprsssed fears of a premature burial and interment before death. The letter is dated "On earth. February 5, 1879," and commences, "My dearest Louie." It tells Lottie how since her as. partuta the writer Has been “ a downonet and melancholy wanderer upon this once beeutilul earth.” and continue- : ‘ol lndependenee.

Frances Power Cobbe writes from Naples, January 4. to the editor of the London Daily New: : Englishmen who in this cruel winter sigh for southern skies may be comforted to learn that those who enjoy the privilege of beholding them (about once a lortnight. when the rain stops) are liable to meet certain drawbacks to that leiicity. ’ I want yesterday with afriend to see the noble monument which had just been erected in the Protestant cemetery by Miss Somerville to the memory of her mother. and on leaving the gate we took our places in the little car- riage which had brought us from town. The driver was somewhat dilatory in starting. and I was annoyed to see a young. poweriul look- ing man approach close to the side oi the carrozclla, as I supposed to beg. in the usual exasperating Neapolitan fashion. I was quickly undeceived in this expectation, how- ever, for the man. throwing himself upon us. grasped my friend‘s arm with one hand, and with the other attempted to wrench oil‘ a small leather waist bag which she carried attached to her belt. 0! course. she and I both seized the bag on our side, and then commenced a regular tugging match, which lasted, as it seemed to me, something like two minutes. Fortunately, English leather is sound. and English hands, even those oi ladies. not quite so feeble as perhaps a Neapolitan thief may have imagined; and so at last we remained victorious. and the disappointed scamp, letting go his hold of the bag, turned away in disgust and lounged on at an easy ramble down an opposite lane. 0! course, such an incident as this might occur in any country in Europe; but the circum stances which made it painfully characteristic 0! Naples were noteworthy. The place where it occurred is a well-lrequented road, within about a quarter 0! a mile of the rail- wway station on one side, and the Botanic Gardens on the other. The time was in broad daylight. about 2 80 o‘clock. Two custodt' ol the Gampo Sauteâ€"one of them a tall. strong manâ€"stood close beside us the whole time, another man a little way lurther to the leit. and a fourth, in some sort at uni- lorm (soldier or doganiere), to the right. at the entrance of the lane down which the robber coolly took his departure. Not one of these menâ€"to whom we called loudly. first for help and then to catch the this!â€" â€"stirred one step. but placidly stood watch- ing the whole proceedings. Lastly, our driver remained during the whole struggle without once attempting to drive on, or arms to turn his head to look at what was doing close behind his back; and we could scarcely force him to move on when the robber left us, as it appeared quite possible to seek tor iurther assistance. When we asked this coccht'ere why he had not attempted to help us, he candidly replied: "Well. ii I had done so. you know, I might have had a colpe di colleilo (a stab at the trails). That we did not receive such a stab, and succeeded in rescuing our property, is a matter on which. we naturally congratulate ourselves. without any keen sense of thanklulness to the Reap politan people or police.
