by nurse in the hospital who was Obliged to
cut the hair off the head of . man from the prie=
on, that his head was actually eaten into. This
statement may seem untrue, but one only has to
visit the place to be convinced of its veracity.
The Government does not furnish these prison

ton of an order from Gen. Provost Marshal, the
Sanitary Commission has not furnished anything
until recently. Now we are furnishing the most

The Ossitied Man.

The following is copied from q late number Of
the Cleveland Herald: 4
We saw at the Union depot yesterday after
noon, the most remarkable case of the ossfica
ton of the entire human frame, ever known In
this country, and probably in the known world
The name of the man is Valentine Perkins. He
is fifty two years of age and was born in the
town of Henrietta, Monroe county, New York.
His father died in Buffalo, in 1872, leaving his
family in poor circumstances. His mother re-
moved to Ohio shortly after, and has lived In
Lake and Portage counties since.
Valentine was smart active boy, until he
was eleven years old, when he was thrown from
horse, which injured one of his knees severely,
and the joint became ossified. From that time
forward for fifteen years, the process of ossica-
ton or hardening of the joints continued, until
it might be said he was one solid bone, SO far Az
the frame was concerned At this time and for
the last twenty years, he has been unable to
move single joint, with the exception of the
first of the index and middle fingers of the right
hand, one of his shoulders very little, and one
or two of his toes. His back bone is completely
solid. from the base of the skull downward, which
prevents his moving or turning his head in the
least.
He has been blind for about thirty years. and
his jaws have not been opened for over thirty,
years. When it is necessary for him to eat, the
food is made fine and placed within his mouth,
his front teeth being gone and it finds it's way
into his stomach. He has good appetite and
will eat with apparent relish anything that Ia
| given him.
| AS he lays on his bed he has the appearance Of
a person in deep sleep, the only motion pre-
ceptible being the action of the respiratory or
| gans His skin is somewhat sallow, and his
fingers drawn and twisted very much out Of
shape, the flesh what little there is on his hands,
| being almost transparent and having the ap-
pearance of highly polished marble, of yellow
| ish hue His hair beard and nails grow ordina
| rily fast. Some of his fingers and toes are. des-
ttuts of nails and on others they resemble birds
claws.
| His health is remarkably good, and he is gen
orally in remarkably good spirits, seldom peev
| ish or cross. He lays on his side upon couch
or low bed, his legs partially drawn up, In
| which position he has lain for upwards of forty
years. His skin and flesh are very sensitive to
| the TOUCH fly or even a hair annoying him
exceedingly. His sense of hearing is very acute,
and he talks great deal, in fact almost contin,
| ually, when he can get any one to converse with
