SINGULAR AND ExTRAoRDIN

/
A gentleman of Baltimore, some fourteen
or fifteen years ago, was passing down Bal.
timore street. late at night, during a heavy
snow storm, when he met, near Frederick
street, three men and woman. He gave
them the way, but being violently iostled
by one Of them. he upbraided them some
what sharply, when they attacked him. Be-
ing powerful man, standing about six feet
in his shoes, he soon laid two OF them hors
du combat, and chased the other to the oppo-
site side Of the street, where he felIed him
to the ground, and where, leaning over him,
he received blow in the left temple, which
staggered as well as bewildered him, for
few minutes. Upon recovering himself, his
assaiants had fled, and feeling the blood
flowing pretty freely from the wound, pro-
ceeded to physician who soon found that
he had been stabbed, the instrument enter
ing about half way between the eve and ear,
breaking of short. leaving a considerable
length Of blade in his head. All efforts to
extract it proved futile. Strange to say, he
felt very little pain or inconvenience from
his condition. The wound soon healed,
and he attended to his regular ayocations as
il nothing had happened. Three years after,
the wound again opening, he consulted
surgeon, who, feeling the ragged edge of the
blade, made several efforts to draw it out,
and after considerable labor, drew from the
wound portion of the base of the broken
dirk which measured within fraction Of
two inches in length. This part Of it gave
an idea Of The amount remaining, which was
supposed TO be piece of about the same
size taken away. For eleven years longer
did il continue in this condition, when,
about two weeks since, after suffering a
great degree of pain on the igM side Of his
nose. near The corner Of his eye, on the oppo-
site side to where he received the wound,
and a considerable swelling appearing, he
went to Prof. Smith, who, upon examining
the diseased part. found the point Of the
blade protruding. thad actually trayersed
through the bones Of the head, and, after
fourteen years, made its appearance in the
above locality. Such is its position. plain
to the eye, and wonderful to be believed,
excepting by an eye witness. We have
often heard Of pins and needles being swal-
lowed, and in after years making their APP
pearaace in different parts Of the body but
that the blade Of dirk. between three and
four inches in length, should thus travel,
aud through bone at that, forms an interest
ing subject for the surgeon as well as the
common mind.

young girl, living in this city, was anxious
for her sister, living in Ireland, to visit this
country and make Auburn her home. She
accordingly RENTED money to her sister,
who Immediately on its receipt sailed for
New York. For some reason the girl on
arriving at New York neglected to inform
her sister in this city, but hired out and
went to work. Her sister, after waiting
long time, became alarmed ad finally ad,er-
tised for information through the columns Of
the Boston Pilot. In short time letter
received from Iarrisonburg, Rockingham
county, Va. stating that the missing girl
was IN that town, in poor circumstances,
and would come TO Auburn If the amount of
sixteen dollars was sent. A draft for that
amount was accordingly sent In two weeks
after the draft was sent, an answer was re :
ceiyed acknowledging its receipt. The
girls friends in this city waited anxiously
for long time but she came not. At last,
letters were received. stating that she was
in New York city, where she had lived since
she came TO this country. The letters from
