An OSSsTIs.lt MAJ.

In quiet little village on the West
ern Reserve in Ohio, says the Prescott
Transcript, there lives a man who
physiologically considered Is one OF
the wonders of the world His Joints
are completely ossified, turned to bone
and he is not capable of making the
slightest movement, except alternately
opening and shutting two fingers OH
his right hand. His body is rs rigid as
iron, and it could no, be bent forward
or backward without breaking some Of
his bones.
This singular process, 81 ossification
has been gong on ~ his system for
more than twenty years. He Is now
about As years old. and has not had
| the usc Of his limbs, So that he could
walk. since he was nineteen. osoliica
ton commenced first in his ankle joints
gradually extending itself through his
| system until he was entirely helpless.
Since that time he has been entirely
under his mothers care, aud she watch
es over him with an anxiety, that only
"A mother can feel.
When about 26 years old, he became
entirely blind from some unknown
cause, and has remained SO ever since.
! At about 80 he suffered greatly from
the tooth ache, and finally he had his
teeth all extracted. \ year or two
afterwards, his finger and toe nails
came oil. and were supplied by Others
growing out from his fingers and toes
at right angles, and presenting the APP
pearance OF horns. What is still more
singular with regard TO his nails. il the
end of the nail is cut of, j, will bleed
freely
Such is the condition ol this remark
able man at the present time. He has
been visited by great number ~ 81
entiiic men, from all parts OF the world.
but all have failed 10 give any plausible
reason OF the cause OF his iralstorna-
ton from flesh 10 bone. Singular a. II
nay appear, although his jawhoue is
firmly 81 IN his head. he no, only tax
freely, but fiuentiv conSers,> with his
friends aud those who VISIT hmm, nn ali
ordinary topics Of the lax. and he
shows himself well informed and Of
good mind Tie is always cheerful,
appears contcnted aud happy, and il
seems probable that he will live many

CASE OF SoNNANBULIsA.-A Pitts
burg Journal gives the following thrill.
ing account OF = case Of somnambulism
which occurred at the residence Of o
gentleman near that city
"Hsaring footsteps upon the stairs
about midnight and suspecting burg
lars might be about the premises, the
gentleman rose from his bed and took
down . double barrslsd gun, with which
in his hand he proceeded to the door
opening into the hall. Reaching the
door, he applied bis ear to the keyhole
and heard what he thought rustling
Of garments upon the stairs. Hastily
drawing Q chair to the door, he step
ped upon it and inserted the gun
through the transon. Just then the
thought occurred to him that it might
be his daughter, who some time previ-
ously was addicted to walking in her
sleep. Passing out into the hall, with
the gun still in his hand, to be used in
case circumstances wsrrantedi it, he
found the apartment entirely vacant
and, lighting lamp, he then assembled
the stairs. Imagine his surprise and
terror on looking out Of the chamber
window to see among the branches O.
. tall tree which grew there, his daugh
ter, dressed in her night habiliment,
and seemingly utterly unconscious o
her psrilous position. Without utter
. ing : word OF making sound calcula
, ted 70 frightsn her, be stepped out q
, the window himself and winding on
arm tightly about the waist Of the sleep
ing girl hs with great sxsrtioa man
|: aesd to regain the hall with his pr
! oIous burden. The surprise OF tn
young lsdy when she awoke and WI
informed Of her psrilous adventure ca
Be better imagined than described"

Most OF our readers will remembsr how
frequently few months ago inqnests were
held on IN. holie. OF "unkhoWn men tonnd
A 'ating IN a.. river" Scarcely az
passed without on. o. more gch instances,
aud some days there have been a. iray az
five. Almost without exception these mel
were recognized, from their dress and ap-
psarance. a. deckh 'nds on the river; buf
ina was All tat couli he discovered con.
cerning them. There va gererhtl 10th
log FOUND III their pockets except some To-
bscco. pOcket-kn,te OF pipe.
For several months past there there has
been scarcely an Inquest OF this description
hsli, and the two facts taken toge'hrr pre-
SET quite significant aspect. Some cir
cums,ances which have lately come TO our
knowledge, furnish the solution. About a
year and half ago . Spaniard opened a
boarding house on the lrvee near the water
works engine house, which was trequented
by a eat number OF IN ,tmes. y in cipally
deck hands.
We learn that II was constantly recur
ring circumstance for boardsrs to leave IN a
very my sferious manner; even theiI most in
innate friends not being aware Of il until
they were missed. The fact finally began
10 attract attention. and it vas observed
that the men who disappeared were never
seen any more, nor even heard Of.
At length watch was set, end the keep
er OF the house was seen at q late hour one
night to carry out \ man in an apparent
state of stupor, and proceed to the river
with him as though he were carrying him
to some boat. The watch followed him
and saw him deliberately throw the man
in the river. An attempt was made to ar
rest him, but with 'ut success, and nothing
has been seen or heard o. him since.
From that time 10 this but few bodies OF
unknown men have been found floating il
the river. There can be but little doub
that the villainous Spsniard gave his board
ere drueged liquors, and after robbing them
threw them Into the river. We obtaines
this ststsGen from an ex.polieemsn O
some note.--St Louis Leader.

RE-oPENING OF THE SLAVE Trade
Speaking of the decree of Gen. Walker, re-
establishing the slave institution in Nicara-
qua, the Carolina times remarks: "For our
own part we are highly pleased with the de-
cree, for we are decidedly in favor of the re-
opening, in order that the price of negroes
may be reduced to such figures that every
industrious poor man may purchase and be-
come slave holder. We regard the course
pursued by General Walker as not only cor
rect, but challenges the approval of the en-
tire mass of people inhabiting the Southern
States, and we believe that they will sustain
him in the position he has assumed. Hoping
andbelieving that the confederacy now known
as the United States of North America will
soon be dissolved, we look upon this move
ment of Gen. Walker as that of statesman
and we hope the day is not far distant when
Central America, embracing the island o.
Cuba, will form part of the Southern con.
federacy."
