Twelve days without food.

--An incident is related by the Paris (Ky.) Citizen, as occurring to Mr. Wm. T. Redmon, who, attracted to a shanty near the residence of his brother by groans which proceeded from it, found there an emaciated and almost lifeless stranger, who gave the name of Frederick Wilhelm, a shoemaker by trade, who, losing his employment at Frankfort, destitute of means and hope, tired and hungry, but preferring to starve rather than beg, had gone in the shanty on the 9th to die, and had remained there without food or fire until discovered on the 21st inst. The Citizen says there is no reason to doubt the fact, as he was seen about the barn on the 9th.
