STiteNGS IF TRIM—The 1:-exington (Kentucky)
Mutter describes • very extraordinary exhibition of insensi-
bility to pain on the part of a young man in that town, in
the premium of a slumber of pOyalcians of oelebtity, including
members of the medical faculty of Transylvania Valvertity,
end other learned professore, woo were invited to attend that
they might detect any fraud or deception, if practised. He
began by sucking a handful of pins, up to the bead, in his
lege, then drove en awl Omagh the middle of his wrist into
coheir;. drove • bids through the muscle of his leg;
nailed hie foot to • wooden shoe, the nail or awl pasaing
through the middle of the foot, and so walked about the
stage; cut his dexter finger through the flashy part, exhi-
bition the naked b.tse, and coot:hided by passing • knife
through hie cheek, the blade protendleg from his nom*. In
all this but little blood was drawn. He glen offered to drive
a knife through each leg and bang himself beau the wall,
which the median*, usercifelly excused him from doing,
Wing satisfied that he could accomplish whatever he mo-
rsel.
