An Ignorable Flight.

--The Pittsburg Gazette of Wednesday says:

Mr.Claflin and Mrs. Claflin, together with their "wonderful child," Tennessee, whose imposition and humbuggery have been thoroughly ventilated in our columns, lately left their lodgings "between two days." The opening of the Quarter Sessions no doubt affected their nerves, as Judge McClure is not one of those who believe in "remarkable cures" by "wonderful children" possessing "extra ordinary gifts from God." The amount of bail is $900, and the recognizance was entered by a "faithful patient" of the "wonderful humbug," who testified that he had been "greatly relieved of a pain in the side of eighteen years standing." The pain will now be in his side-pocket, perhaps.
