A REMARKABLE CASE FoR PHYsICIANs-A
few days ago, Mr.. J. G.. Adams, known as the
Rocky Mountain bear trappcr, appeared at
the College of Physicians and Surgeons, 23d
street, to see if anything could be done for
his head which was scalped in bear fight
some six or seven years ago. Itappears that
Mr. Adams, accompanied by n tame bear,
encountered huge grizzly and closed with
him. The monster, by one fell blow, struck
Mr. Adams upon the head and tore the scalp
from the skull completely over the 0S tfoRtiS
and the trapper would soon have been in a
condition to make no more hunts, but for the
tame bear, who, seeing the danger of his
master rushed into the strife, and saved Ad-
ans life at the expense of his own. The
stuffed skin of the heroic bear is still kept
as a fond momento Adams suffered long
time from this fray, and was also injured in
the same place by a second blow from the
large grizzly, who is known in his collection
by the strap which girts his whole body
Adams skull being stripped of even the
Deri0stium, the bone, from want of its natu-
raj covering and nutriment, died and slough
ed off. In its place granulatons were formed
which in appearance, look like fungus-mat'
ter. But the end of Adams iIlluck was not
yet A few months ago he was training a
monkey, which creature sprong up the un-
fortunate mans head and inserted his carni-
verous teeth in the wounded part. The
monkey was cut to pieces for this cruel in
Fiction. Under these combined misfortunes
Adams has lost his health, and has become a
great sufferer Any one who witnesses that
pale man going through the daily training
with his huge bears can easily see that his
end cannot be far away. One who saw hin
at the College of PLY sicians and Surgeon'
states that when the heart beats, if the heac
is covered, the pplsalions can be seen in The

DEATH OF LADY BYRoN.-This event. of re.
cent occurrence, has given rise to many com.
ments upon the unhappy marriage of Byron,
with the woman he esteemed but did not
love Ihe poet Bryant thus speaks of it, in
his paper, the New York Evening Post:
Lord Byron in one of his letters gives the
following description of Lady Byron during
the time OF their engagement: What an odd
situation and friendship is oursi Without
one spark OF love on either side. and produced
by circumstances which, in general, lead so
caimness ON the one side and aversion on the
other. She Is very superior woman, and
very little spoiled, which is strange in an
heiresS-a girl Of twenty-a peeress that is to
Oe IN her own right-an only child, and a
Sa0aNte who has always had her own wev.
ohe Is poetess mathematician, and withal
very kind, generous and gentle. and with
very little pretension."
Even at his wedding the ,houghts Of bis
| first love-of Mary Chsworth. of Anneslev
Hall, whom he so poetically termed his
bright Morning Star of Annesley"-was
present to his Imagination Annesley Hall
and all its fond associations fioated like a
vision before his thoughts, even when at the
a'tar and on the point of pronouncing his
nuPual VOWS. marriage contracted under
such circumstances, could not but be unhap-
py. The poet has alluded 10 it in some of his
most impassioned strains of regret. Wash
lnston Irving says that in one Of his manu-
scripts, written long after his marriage, hay
ing accidentally mentioned Miss Chaworth as
my M. A. c." "Aas," exclaimed he, with
sudden burst of feeling, "why do l say MY ?

blood had been shed by our fat ers it would
