WONDERS OF THE WISrER.-Dning
the extreme cold in this region, two OF
three weeks ago, says the Abingdon Vir-
ginian, several strange things occurred,
two or three Of which we will mention.
South of the Knobs, few miles from Alb
ingdon, couple Of geese. after RECALLING
themselves, for time in large spring,
very wisely squatted on the bank to rest
themselves, and when they attempted to
rise, they didn't do it, for they were frozen
tight and fast to the snow. e - II
A duck. in the same neighborhood, had
been feeding and padding about in a
spring branch, at length grew tired Of
swallowing tadpoles, and concluded to
stand on one foot awhile and ruminate-
as ducks sometimes stand and ruminate.
In the meantime, the ice had formed around
the leg in the water. and the duck was
just as securely fastened as it she had
been in q stsel.trap. 11aaeuug7 .is r.

A SINGULAR CAsE.-On Sunday last,
Drs. Freeman and Perry, Of Saratoga, am.
puta,ed the leg Of Mr.. Smith. q resident
Of that village. The cause for the ampa-
tation was the actual death of the limb.
Mr., s., who ia . labcring man Of indus
trious and temperate habits, some six
weeks since, while walking, was seized
with sudden pain in the leg, shout half
way from the knee to tho ancle, and in
media,ely ALL sensstion or feeling below
the region Of the pain ceased. The look
and color Of the skin, and to the touch, was
that Of dead body, and all life Or ,anina-
ton below, midway from the knee to tho
ancle, was, entirely = eradicated. Tho
above physicians attended the sufferer, and
used al the skill and ingenuity kSown to
the medical profession, to restore the cir
culatiou. but to no avail The individual
had previously enjoyed good health. and
the cause for SO sudden and singular re-
suit could not be accounted for. CIrcum-
stances Of palsied or paraly1ed limbs arc
of frequent Occurrences, but that Of the
dedth ofa limb, We understand, was never
before known to the medical faculty. That
the limb was actually dead, is shown from
the fact that decomposition had set in, and
It became 80 offensive that itwas found
ascessary 70 amPute the limb to prevent
modification The leg was taken of
above The knee, and though the recovery
or the patient is doubtful, still hopes arc
entertained that his life may BE- saved.
The Post ssys DR.. March, of this city, was
consulted about the case, but stated that
he never know case like it.-Alb. Argus.

married the author Of Pelham, then only

handsomest young women in London,
with considerable accomplishments and
some talent, to boot. Incompatibility of
temper (her's was soured, it is said, by
curt treatment from her aristocratic moth.
er.in,law,) caused a separation after few
years, and the i'll assorted pair have not
met for twenty years. The husband pur.
sued his literary course, which has been a
very brilliant one.s The wife, who had
previously shown ability in story called
I" The Supper, Of Sallust," in Fraser's
Magazine, also threw her mind into au.
thorship. and came before the world, in
1889, with novel called $. .Cheveley; or

was to satirize her broiher.in.law, Sir
