ExTRAoRDlNARY PHENoMENA.--We are moi much given the marvellous, and we will not be much surprised if some of readers doubt the truth of the following, but we can them that it is true ey- cry word of it. There is a Miss in this city, resi- dent of an adjoining county, about l3 years of age, from whose thumb there has appeared, for some weeks past, divers haIrs, bristles c tome of them as long as twenty.six inches, and others shorter This was the story we heard day or two since, and we laughed at the wonderful creduty of our infor- mant. It is, however, truc--for we have seen the young lady and have witnessed the growth of hair. There is nothing extraordinary in the appearance of the thumb, ant she says the growing of the hair gives her no uneasness whatever. The hair comes out of

 the inner side of the thumb, sometimes from under the nail, generally, however, from the ball. Some of the hair is soft as the hair of the head and some as tough as brstles, varying in color, size and length. The growth is very rapid, and when it is removed from the thumb, it leaves impression whatever in the part from which it springs, we are informed by Dr. Gibney, who resides in the town with this young lady, that Sunday last thirty appeared dur ing the day. A number of scientific gentlemen have examined the thumb and the hair, but are all utterly at a loss to account for the henomena.-Ltrington inteihgencr.
