A REMARKABLE CAsE-A pin remaining
IN Persons ear t,centy.tou years.-The
facts of a very singular case came to our
knowledge on Saturday. About twenty
four years ago, a lady of Andover, Mrs.
Gunnisoa, on retiring at night, put up four
curls in papers and pins. In the morning
one Of the pins were missing, and from the
painful sensation in her ear, she was conf
dent il had penetrated there. A careful ex-
animation, however, often repeated, failed to
satisfy any but herself, that the pin was in
her ear. Inflammation and great distress in
the region of the ear and throat followed
but no surgeon or physician could be per-
suaded that the cause was the missing pin.
From that time TO the present she has been
troubled with singular sensation about the
ear, attended by an impaired memory, and
slight injury of late to the power OF hear
ing. Her protestations have been consid-
cred as the result of mere imagination, pro-
baby or hypochondria, nor would any of
her friends or physicians believe the idea OF
their being pin in her head, for so great
space of time--notwiths thstanding she was "a
bic by probisg, to touch hard substance
in the ear. This, the doctors said, was a
piece of bone She was advised, however,
a short time since, to come to the Eye and
Ear Infrmary in this city, and did so. The
result was, that on Friday last, brass pin
of the usual size was drawn from the ear
excepting small portion of the point,
which probably still remains embedded in
the flesh or bone. The pin is very little
changed, not perceptbly corroded, and
looks simply like any old, well worn pin.
1t is very remarkable case; and young la
dies, who are SO very fond of beautifying
their pretty faces, by the aid of curl papers
and pins, should be admonished ofthe dan
ger to which the practice subjects them.
The lady in question has paid dearly for
her curls Boston Star

AcQUITTAL OF TIRRELL.-Our Boston
exchanges of Saturday evening failed, and
hence we were unable to announce until
this morning the acquittal of Tirrel, w hich
took place about | o'clock on Saturday af-
ternoon. The ground of the verdict ofthe
jury was understood to be a general insult
fciency Of proof, and not that Of suicide on
the part of the deceased, nor insanity, nor
somnambulism Of the prisoner
The case is altogether one ofthe most re-
markable on record. The prisoner was
discharged from this indictment, but or
dered to be remanded upon the charge of
arson, which rests upon the same evidence.
