SINGULAR CASE OF INSANITY.--.-A young
divine was one wintry day employed in snipe-shooting
with a friend ; in the course of their perambulations a
high hedge intervened between the companions. The
friend fired at a bird which unexpectedly sprung up, and
lodged a part of the shot in the forehead of the clergy-
man ; he instantly fell, and did not recover the shock
for some days, so as to be deemed out of danger ; when
he was so, it was perceived that he was mentally de-
ranged. He was to have been married two days subse-
quent to that on which the accident happened ; from this
peculiar combination of circumstances the phenomena of
the case appeared to rise, for all sanity of mind seemed
to make a full stop, as it were, at this spot of the cur-
rent, and he soon became a mild, pleasant, chronic luna-
tic. All the conversation was literally confined to the
business of the wedding ; out of this circle he never
deviated, but dwelt upon everything relating to it with
minuteness, never retreating or advancing one step fur-
tiler for half a century, being ideally still a young.
active, expecting, and happy
bridegroom, chiding the
tardiness of time, although it brought him gently at the
age of eighty to his grave. This sufferer was never
known to complain of heat or cold, although his window
was open all the year round.— Winslow.
