A STRANGE CAsE.-The Salem Qndiana)
News states that stranger named Timothy
Hughes eamped out near that town recently
and made fire. On the morning following,
he was found with legs burned up to the
knees, almost to a crisp:
The man, strange as it may seem, did not
exhibit signs of as acute pain as one would
at first suppose from a person in such con-
dition. This is attributable to the fact that
the severity of the burn deadened in a man
ner all sensibility of pain. He conversed
about the matter. He had no recollection of
the deplorable calamity which had befallen
him; said he was subject to fits, and the
melancholy occurrence is accounted for on
no other hypothesis. He was conveyed to
the county poorhouse, where, after consulta-
ton, the surgeons in attendance deemed it
advisable to amputate both legs; whereupon
both the limbs were amputated Just below
the knee joints. The sufferer is getting along
as well as could be expected under the cir
cumstancee.

How IT HAPPENED The manner in which
the explosion in the Great Eastern happened
is thus described by one who seems to know
what he is talking about
The cause of the mischief is extremely
simple, as generally happens in such cases,
but grave and serious blame rests on the
shoulders of some officers of the vessel. 1t
appears that round the lower part of the pad
die tunnels was placed an iron jacket, the
space between which and the funnel itself
was to be filled with cold water. The object
of this casing was to reduce the temperature
in the grand saloon, which it was feared
might be raised uncomfortably higg if the
lower portion of the funnel got too much
heated. A secondary object to be attained,
was that the water thus passing around the
base of the funnel would be heated to con-
siderable temperature before flowing into the
boiler, and that thus great saving of caloric
would accrue. The supply of cold water for
this casing was to be kept up by donkey
engine, but it was noticed that soon after the
ship left the More the donkey engine was
all but useless, and the supply of cold water
sent into the casing but small in quantity.
To guard against this risk there was stand
pipe or valve, through which steam should
escape, and this valve-out Of sight be it
noted-every one on board interested in the
matter took for granted must be open. Af-
ter examination, however, showed that snch
was not the case, for some careless workman
had screwed it down before the vessel left
Deptford, and hence the fearful catastrophe.
The strong iron casing became veritable re-
tort filled with steam having a pressure of
not less than 500 lbs to the square inch.-
The explosion was so powerful that it de
stroyed everything in the division of the
ship to which it was confined and had it
occurred in a vessel of war, or a steamer of
the ordinary construction, such blast would
have sent them to the )ottom like a stone
DRoLL INSTANCE OF SwrNDLING-The New

physician did
Dr. Rossvalley, of that city, one of the eur

of the deceased ON the day of the burial and
stated that while performing the dissection
valuable ring had slipped from his finger
and fallen within the body. He therefore
asked permission to re open the corpse and
recover the lost jewel. The afflicted
widow begged him to retire and speak to her
brother upon the subject The matter was
finally compromised by paying the Doctor
S31 as an equivalent for the ring, but he has
since been arrested for obtaining the money
under false pretences.
