A Nail In the stomach.

A correspondent of the London Daily
Telegraph writes Upon reading the sc-
count in the morning papers of the fatal
result which occurred to q gentleman from
swallowing nail, felt much regret that
had not, for the beDefit of the puDlic gem
orally, made the following case known; A
few years since the lsndlady of the house
in which I was residing informed me, in
state of great alarm, that one Of her chill
dren, about four years of age, had swallow
ed nail. She said that she was sure of
the fact, and that it was an iron nail about
two inches long. She requested my advice
how to act, and whether she should
give the child dose of castor oil. / told
her not to give the child anything to relax
the bowels, and upon reflection l advised
her to make the child a hard dumping
for its dinner. AS was quite aware that
the case was dangerous 1 slso advised her
to consult q medical man. This she did,
and informed me that he quite agreed
with my opinion, and was plessed to find
that she had not brought back any 'mix
ture." In the evening again she consult
ed me as to the child's supper, and 1 ad-
Vised another dumping, with as little drink
as possible. The next morning she inform
ed me that the child had slept well, and
had not exhibited any symptoms of hyster-
les. Upon asking me what she should
give the child Tor breakfast she could not
refrain from smiling when advised anoth-
er hard dumping. In the course of the
forenoon, however, she smiled most salts
fsctoriDy upon entering my room, and at
the same time placing before me an iron
spike nail about an inch and half long,
which the child had passed without having
shown any consciousness of IFS presence.
1 had much difficulty in persusding the
mother that was not connected with the
medical profession, but was merely guided
by general knowledge of the intestinal
organs and by common sense.

When we were at Nashville, seven years
sgc, anecdotes of the GOODNESS and courage
Of Governor johnson were among the cur
rent coin of conversation. One gentleman,
spolitical opponent Of the Governor, an eye
witness of the occurrence, told US thst
plscsrd was posted in the town, ons morn
ing, announcing, in the well-known isn-
gusgs of old Tennessee, that Andy john,
son was to be shot ION sigh" ~ Friends of
the governor assembled at his house to es-
cort him TO the State House. "NO," said
he, gentlemen, if am to be shot at, !
want no man to be in the way of the bull
let" He walked alone, end with unusual
deliberation, through the streets to his
official apartments on Capitol Hill.
Another eyewitness related a similar
story. He was announced tospesk on one
of the exciting questions of the day; and
loud threats we're uttered thst if he dared
appear, he should not leave the hall alive.
At the appointed hour he ascended to the
platform, and, advancing to the desk, laid
his pistol upon it. He then addressed the
audience In terms as nesr like the follow
ing ss our Informant could recollect
'Fellow-citizens: It is proper when free
men assemble for the discussion of impOr-
tsnt public interests, that everything should
be done decently and in order. I have
been informed that part of the business to
be transacted on the present occasion is the
assassination of the individual who now
hAs the honor of addressing you. I beg
respectfully to propose thst this be the first
business in order. Therefore, if any man
has come here to night for the purpose in
dicsted, I do not say to him let him speak,
but him shoot"
Here he paused, with his right hand on
his pistol, and the other holding open his
coat, while with his eyes he blandly sur
veyed the assembly. After pause of halt
q minute, he resumed.
"Gentlemen, it appears that have been
misinformed. will now proceed to sd-
dIess you on the subject that has called Us
together"
Which he did, with all his accustomed
boldness and Yivscity,n sPsring his sdver-
saries, utgiving them plenty of pure Ten
nessee.
Tailor as he was, he is no snob. Soon
after he was inaugursted Governor of Ten
nessee, high official of the State, who hGd
been bred blacksmith, presented him with
an elegant set of fire irons, made With his
own hands. 81 will give him return il
kind" remarked the Governor. He bought
some of the finest black broAd-cloth that
Nashville could furnish, procured set o.
tailor's implements, got the Judges mes
sure from his tailor, and made complete
suit of clothes, setting every stitch himself
! and presented them to his friend. The
work, we are told, was all done in the Gov
ernor's room in the stats House Th'
happy wesrer of the garments pronounced
them perfect fit, and when we heard tht
story in 1858, he had them still-N. 7

DR.. C. B. LIGHTHILL'S first visit 70
Ohio was induced by numerous spplica-
tions for treatment from parties unable to
visit New York for that purpose, ana who
can not be successfully treated except alter
q personal examination! His practice has
been so successful that he has repested his
visits to Cleveland several times. Still he
finds that it is almost as difficult for some
parties desiring his service, to visit him at
Cleveland, that in compliance with the re-
qests of many citizens, he has consented,
before returning to Europe, to visit several
central points in Northern Ohio, making
Cleveland his headquarters so that all who
desire can consult him.
For the past twelve years DR.. Lighthin
has paid exclusive attention to the treat
ment of deafness and catsrrh in its vsri-
GUS forms. he has prscticed in New York,
and other principal Eastern cities, where,
until few months past, he was associated
with his cousin, DR.. /. B. Lighthin, and,
together, they have acquired standing
which has earned for the "Lighthil In
stitute" its present great reputation.

DR.. LIeHTHILL-Dear Sir: Allow me
to express my grateful thanks for the skill
and kind attention rendered 10 my daugh-
ter, whose ears have been badly affected
for many years, and for some months past
has been nearly deprived of hearing. The
loss of this important sense is certSinly s
sad deprivation, painfully embarrassing,
and to degree known only to those who
have experienced it. II, therefore, there
be a remedy for this great evil, the Cause
of humanity obviously requires that it
should be universally disseminated. 1 feel
it my duty, therefore, and it affords me
much pleasure, to give my testimony 70 the
happy effects of your treatment and rene
dies. My daughter has suffered from deaf
ness since early childhood. The left ear
has been badly diseased. The right ear,
also, for several years, was seriously sffact-
ed, and the disease apparently increasing,
threatening the entire loss of her hearing.
It was with extreme difficulty that she
could participate in instrumentation of her
friends, and for two years has been deprived
of this source of social enjoyment. Hap
PLY my attention was directed to your sd-
vertisement, and was induced TO place
her in your care. Your treatment, under
favor of kind Providence has been sue
cessful. Her hearing, so far as L can judge,
appears to be perfectly restored. Whether
this restoration is permanent is a question
time alone can determine, but present re-
suits are certainly very gratifying.
am, dear sir,
Truly and gratefully yours

We clip the following from the tele-
graphic correspondence of the Cincinnati
Gazette from Washington, dated April
sOth:
THE ASSASSINATION CONSPIRACY WIDE tx
TENDED.
The Republicans of this evening says:
@The investigation in this city has devel-
oped facts Of the most astonishing chsrsc-
ter, as the official record will eventually
show. These developments result from
partial search cnly, and show what would
be brought to light by the unroofng and
unearLhing, if necessary, every house in the
District of Columbia. There is evidence
that President Lincoln, Viee-President
HAmlin, the members of the Cabinet, Gen.
Grant, Chief Justice Chase and Speaker
Coliax, were marked as the victims of car
tain rebel conspirstors and ssssssins.
There is little doubt that the plot origins-
ted with the chief political rebels in Rich
mond; was planned in detail in Canada,
and was TO be executed In this city. There
Is also no doubt tnat secret meetings were
held at ths residences of secessionists in
this city to further the execution of the
fiendish plot. 1t is well known that arrests
Lave already been made of persons known
to be parties to the murder of President
Lincoln, and the facts thus far ascertsined
reveal the hellisu purpose Of the rebel as
sassins to strike from existence all the lead
ing men of the National Government, thus
leaving it without legal head, and the
reins of Government to be seized by any
erratic, ambitious general who might st
the time be in the field at the head of the
army. This will, when allis made known,
startle the people and astound the world.
THE ooLoRED REBEL RECRUITS.
1t appears that the forty or fifty negro
soldiers enlisted by the rebels, and who
evacuated Richmond with Lees army,
dropped off at the rate of about one for
every mile travelled, and when the rendez-
vous was reached the white captain and
the colored corporal alone remained.
THE PRIVILEGES OF ANXIETY NOT RDEFI-
NITELY HELD OUT.
The rebels who have been intend
ing TO avail themselves of the extremely
liberal provisions of thesmnesty proclsms-
tion, had better do so very speedily, or
some OF them may suddenly find the door
shut in their face.

for the Government.
