The Portage, Ohio Democrat, gives
an account of the extraordinary ossi-
| fication of the body of man III rort,
ape County. His name is Perkins, ana
he resides with his. mother. He was
horn n Henrietta, Ontario Co., N. T.,
lin March. 1873, and is consequently
fortv-fiye wears of age. His father was
q soldier in 1912, and died in the SER
vice. a short time before his son was
born. The condition, of this man is
supposed to be the most extraordinary
instance of Justification Of the joints
ever placed on record, as we are teld
by a medical friend, intimately ac-
ouainted with the case. With the nx-
ception of an imperfect motion OF me
right shoulder, one joint of the two
first fingers of his right hand, and q
limited motion of one or two toes,
eyery Joint in his body is completely
ossified. and as firm and immovable as
if one bone constituted the entire frame.
Until he was eleven years old he en-
loved robust health. Atthat time the
family had removed to Kirkland, Lake
county, in this State. In June. OF the
year he was eleven, he was thrown
from a horse and hurt one knee, and
then going into the river to- battle, he
took cold in the injured part, infama-
ton ensued, and the cartiIages and liga-
ments were destroyed, and ossifcation
took place. After this had transpired
the uninjured knee was attacked with
inflammation, and finally became COM
pletely ossified. Then joint after joint
passed through the ordeal, until now
he is in the condition mentioned. His
Jaws have been set and motionless for
thirty years, and his front teeth have
loosened and come out, forming an
aperture through which he talks and
receives his food. His food is all pre-
pared for him in a suitable manner,
and he always has retained good
appetite, though he is not gluttonous.
Twenty-four years since, he became
blind in one eye, and for twenty-three
years he has been totally blind. All
his other senses remain as perfect and
accurate as those of any person. His
weight is about 100 pounds. He is
always cheerful, and is very fond of
talking. His intellectual powers are
fairly developed for one in his condi-
ton, and his memory excellent. 1t is
said of him that he can tell the names
and ages of large proportion of the
persons in the town of Mantua with
accuracy. He does not sleep more
than persons in good health, and is not
troubled with sickness, aside from the
disease which had taken possession of
him. He talks freely of death, and at
times entertains different opinions upon
the subject. He has lived in. Mantua
for six years, and has been visited by.
a large number of medical men in this
vicinity.

w-The discussions and voting in

The discussions and voting in
Congress last week, on the appropri-
alton for the affair of the Echo negroes,
clearly revealed the fact that there is a
party in the country in favor of reviving
the foreign slave trade. This party has
become a.poscer in Congress, and as
sumes the tone and demeanor of con-
scious strength. 1t appeals with great
effect to the consistency, as well as to
the pride of the SOUTH sTwenty-eight
members of the House voted against
providing means to send these captured
Africans back to their native country.
The Colonization Society once thepet
of the slave power, is denounced on the
floor of Congress as rotten concern, a
failure and an abortion, because its col
onies prove practical obstacles to the
the slave trade. The members from
South Carolina and Georgia do not hes
itate to declare the laws against the
Slave trade unconstitutional and void,
and the attempt to enforce them a
usurpation, and even the son of Henry
Clay, from Kentucky, can affirm that
the slave trade is not piracy and should
not be punished as such, and advocate
the withdrawal of our African feet that
the slave traders may pursue their work
without hindrance.. -e..-.

The Overland Mail.

The Overland Mail, with dates to
the l4th ult., had arrived. The news
was mostly unimportant. A number of
white men had been murdered by the
Indians, and over 100 Indians had been
killed by the whites during the past
three months.
The stage coach of Wells, Fargo
& Co., had been stopped by highway
men, and robbed of $4,000.
Passengers report that the ella mines
were almost deserted.
The Mexican Boundary Commission
at Fort Fillmore, were about starting to
resume operations. -9s t.r $50.
The Indians had again obstructed
the road with rocks at Devils Canon.
Copious rains had fallen at Sierra
Geuco, supplying the mining country
with sufficient water for the whole sea-
son. -.a-. a-
The Camanches had stolen eleven
mules from Delaware Springs, and fifty
horses from Phantom Hill. Most OF
the latter belonged to settlers.
A detachment of cavalry under
Capt. Palmer, left Fort Smith for Fort
Arbuckle.
The mail coach was detained six
hours, making the running time less
than twenty-three days.

HosrErrER's BrrrERs.-The publ

HosrErrER's BITTERs.-The public
are aware that for some years past
Hostetter's Bitters have by their in
trinsic merit, as the best tonic Of the
day, won aname and celebrity beyond
any other compound of the like kind.
The immense and ready sale which
Hostetter's Bitters met with, induced a
number Of persons to engage in coun-
terfeiting them by buying mp the bot
ties and filing them with a spurious
and noxious compound, and then ma
king sales of the article to coffee-house
keepers and others at reduced price,
under the representation that they
were the genuine article. Purchasers
should always examine the bottle, and
see that it is covered with metallic
cap with name stamped on, and not
with tin foil or wax, as in the case with
the counterfeit article. The genuine
article is sold by all respectable drug
gists and dealers everywhere.

THE Remedy

The Marshall Statesman saws the
necessity Of protection to American
interests, which is forcing itself upon
the convictions of the country, is
dispelling many prejudices, and crush
ing crude theories, even in the slave
States, which have been infatuated with
the illusion of free trade. Even the
Richmond Enquirer, whose political
creed is summed up in the resolutions
Of 1898, is forced to admit the necessity
of an adoption of the Tariff, which
shall offer incidental encouragement to
manufactures, This is great conces-
sion over the revenue doctrine of the
Southern free traders, and the Northern
importers. Adversely is severe teach
er, but it teaches many useful lessons,
and if the recent depression of business
shall cause better and more consistent
theories to be adopted and practiced,
it will not be without its benefcient
uses. The iron dealers of Pennsylvania
are making a move in the right direc-
ton, and we hope that the day is not
far distant, when the United States,
with her vast mountains of iron will
cease to depend on Europe for that
material. America needs no fabrics
from England, no brandy and wine from
France, no iron from Russia and Swe-
dan, no laces from Italy, no watches
from Switzerland.

From Pixies Peak.

From the kalamazoo Gazette.
Gen. Curtenius has handed ms the
following letter from Mr.. Robinson. his
son-in-law, from which it will he seen
that the reports of rich gold deposites
at Pixies Peak are true and reliable:
Council! Bluffs, Jan. 1, 1859.
VoINKY HAscALL, Esq.,-My dear
Sir: All doubts with regard to the
existance of gold in the vicinity OF
Pixies Peak have vanished. Almost
every day furnishes us with the most
irresistible evidence that the real El
Dorado is at our very doors. You can
scarcely imagine the amount of excite.
ment which shows itself on every side.
Persons, whose words will not admit OF
a doubt, are from day to day arriving
in town, with a view of settleing up
their business here and returning in
the spring with their families to make
a permanent abode near the theatre of
action. Experiment has already prov
en-, that, even at this early stage in the
enterprise, with only few facilities, men
are making from four to six dollars in
less than as many hours daily. This is
the point of starting; being directly on
the Mormon trail; all the streams are
well bridged, the crooked places made
straight and the rough ones smooth.
From Council Bluffs to the gold fields
only about six hundred miles intervene
and this distance can be easily over.
come in 16 to 90 days. The man who
refuses to make his fortune now, de.
serves to be somewhat stinted in his
old age. w
/ disclose this news to the readers
of the Gazette, because / connot forget
the association connected with Kala-
mazoo and its environs. There is room
for all, so you need not despair of get
ting a site for operations. A million OF
two of gold is much needed to help
carry out their new banking law, and
here the security is lying idle.
ba. s Yours, &c.,
A. d. ROBINSON.

Republicans will unite. tits gratifying
to know that the party has resolved to

matter, and it is earnes silly to be hoped
that a solution may now be reached
