A VERY CURIOUS CAsE.-We clip the follow
ing from the Lowell News:
About year and half ago a widow lady
by the name of Smith, residing on Suffolk
street, in this city, drank some water from q
spring at the sea-shore, and, as she supposed
swallowed a small eel Since then she has
boon gradually getting out of health, and at
length her illness became so severe and alarm
ing that her life was thought to be in great
danger. No medicine or physician could give
her relief, till last week. DR.. Huntoon, being
called in, give her potion that on Saturday
morning relieved her Of Il live eel foot in
length. The eel has been preserved in spirits,
and is decidedly an ugly-looking customer
The lady is greatly relieved, but thinks there
is another of the 'yarmints' left behind"
