A SECOND CASPER HAUsER.--We have seen
IN several papers an account OF boy apparently
thirteen or fourteen years old, who was found in
The timber in the vicinity of the Chathlnot Prai-
rles, in the State of Indiana. 1t is said the boy
is now in the family of Colonel Clark, or Clark
son, OF Bush Hill, place not far from the spot
where ne was found. lie is handsomely formed,
mas hne limbs, is very elastic in his movements,
stout, with clear, full, and intelligent black eyes.
lie mas been several months with the Colonels
family, during which time he has uttered no artl-
culate sound, expressed no wish by any sign;
though ne evidently pays considerable attention
10 things and events around him. He sometimes
gives sort OF piercing screech, which by It's be-
ing always at measured elevation, and after
which, he seems to listen with care, affords
ground Tor the conclusion, that the poor fellow
has been accustomed to receive some sort of an
swer from source to us unknown. He chooses
the naked earth for his bcd and utterly rejects all
covering, save deer skin, which he wraps around
his body. Ills food he takes in raw state
principally beef poultry, potatoes, and nuts. 1t
is astonishing with what voraciousness he con-
sumes small birds. He will strip one of its feath-
ers and entralls, and devour it with relish arising
to an extacy. lie has thus far cvinced melan-
choly temperament choosing to be much alone,
and makes Tor the timber whenever an opportuni-
ty Is presented; but when found attempts no es-
cape, but passlvely returns. He manifests no at
tachment for any human being, save for ssryant
girl Of the family. By her request he has oc-
casionally eat little corn bread and sit down
for a moment on chair. Wheat bread he per-
emptor,ly refuses. He has made comparatively
no advancement towards civilization. We re-
gret that more knowledge cannot be obtained of
this extraordinary boy S history.
