ia youth by the name Of Joshua
Saunders, was brought 10 town on the
dav of the muster, with a rather evcrc
bruise Just in the edge Of the hair, over
the right eye, which he said was produc-
ed by a blow inflicted by another youth,
some few miles from town, onthe Gras-
sy Creek road. He rode TO town on
horseback, after the infliction Of the
wound; he however became ~insCnSlble
soon after, and nothing would arouse him
from his stupor, till a portion Of the skull
was removed by a trcphinc. which ena-
bled the operator, DR.. Bartlett, TO take
out a piece 0 fbone as large as the thumb
nail, which had apparently been driven
into his head by a knot on the club, and
which had rupturcd an internal blood
vessel. and caused the accumulation o.
some three or iour unce Of cloited
blood between the surface Of the brain
and the skull; this being removed, con-
seriousness gradually returned, and II
less than twenty-four hours, he was full
" in lis senses. From the nature o
the injury, his situation is necessarily
critical and dangerous, but we believe
the attending physicians entertain rope:
of his recovery.
