He's dirty Irish boy--don't stop the

But that Irish boy has parents, it may be

French Courier Of this city, says t.'as
A. Bocchieri, a Neapolltan chemist
has discovered healing agent OF suen
marvellous power as to be capable OIL
closing up wounds in arferaes-eVeh
the largest of them. Two sheep were
taken at a public institution IN Paris
and the carotid artery in each severed;
ard one of Lem was treated IN the
regular way, and the other with the
Hocchieri water. The first one died,
hut the other one was running about
and eating grass within twenty minutes
after the operation, and this caused the
famous Lisfrane to say, "Gentlemen
here is a result which may be summed
up in two words-here is life and there
is DEATH" Other extraordinary cures,
and among them that of splitting blood,
are mentioned as among its yirtures.-

Fatal accident on the Eastern
Railroad.-The Boston TranscriP.
says, the train which left this city at
half past 2 P. nj. yesterday, and met
with some obstruction short distance
this side of Lynn Hotel Depot, by
which the engine was thrown OFT the
track, and the baggage master and
brakeman, was instantly killed. 1t is
supposed that one of the chains which
connect the rails, having been effected
by the frost, had been broken during
the passage up Of train short time
before, and that the rails thus thrown
out of place, capsized the engine the
moment they came in contact. The
engineer and firemen were thrown in
to the marsh and covered with wood
from the tender, but escaped with
slight bruises. The brakeman, it is
said, was standing on the platform car,
and was thrown off by the shock, when
the wheel Immediately ran over him,
crushing him dreadlully. Fortunately,
the passenger cars became detached, so
that butlittle injury was sustained, ex-
cept to one Of the cars.

lT Some very interesting expert
menis have been made at lS4 Forsyth
street. with the Brochieri Water. The
carotid artery in two sheep was about
half severed and the bleeding stopped
by the application of cotton wool sat
urated with the water, and by pouring
it plentiiully upon the wound. The
experiment was not performed So
speedily as in some cases. as it was
about forty or forty-hve minutes from
the time the wound was inflicted be-
fore the animals had quite recovered.
But they did recover, and were left
running about the yard, apparently in
usual health.-[Tribune.
