SINGULAR DEATM.--The Boston Atlas
states that q remarkable case of death
from excessive physical irritation occurred
n, birmingham. Mass. a few days since.
"a young man named Henry Cooiedge,
ofthst place, having shaved the face Of his
dad father previous to the in,ernent of
the corpse, soon after applied the same
razor to his own face. Although his
father had died a natural death, and moth.
ing at all remarks BILE had been observed
in the manner of his disease. ths face and
head Of the son began to swell! almost i'm
media,ely after having finished the opera
tim Of shaving, and 10 a short time he was
himself a corpse. Such case of extreme
irritation, though rare, are not unprece-
denied, although the explanation of such
phenomena is by no means easy. 10 the
present case, the absorption of virus from
the dead body seems almost Impossible.
though there is no other m: Iner in which
we can at all satisfactorily accoun, for the
violent irritation which followed the use OF
the razor, anil its fatal effects"
