4 Domestic Romance,

From the Detroit Free Press, Sept. II.
When the call for 500 eco volunteers was
made in 1863, there lived in Pierce county,
Wis, 4 man named Andrew Bennett, own
er OF & good farm, and happy IN the smiles
Of loving wife and child, which were to
him all of life worth living for next to his
government and his country. Responding
to the cal: OF the latter, lie made ample pro
visions for the loved ones he was about to
leave behind, by selling his fara s and pla
eng In the hands Of his wife sum Of mon
ey for her own and the child's support,
amounting to $500. Entering the ranks of.
the 4th Wisconsin cavalry, he served with
honor and distinction in the field, happy in
the daily discharge OF his duty, and in his
dreams at night OF the loved and left
Little did he imagine for moment that
they were loved and lost, although there
came such tidngs to him once from min
lister of the gosTel, who wrote to him in
Texas, where the regiment was stationed at
the time, telling him that The wife Of his
bosom had disappeared, and it was supposed
had clipped with anothe, man. The soldier
could and would not believe the tale, but
went forward in the line OF his duty till dis

Chicago and remained for time at the

an avaricious liherjinc, was tempted by the
sight OF the money she had, and burning
with desire to p0llute and destroy al that
was pure and holy in the martial and family
relation, brought his seductive arts to bear
upon her, and, with the aid of smattering
and chemical knowledge, and Of the black
art, investigated for base ends, gained his

SUPPLEMENTARY FINoERs.-A discussion upon

place at recent meeting OF tho Surgical Society
OF Paris, was somewhat remarkable for the dis
crepancy of opinion which was elected as to the
frequency of the occurrence, and is on that &C
count interesting as going to illustrate the freaks
and accidents OF which the statistlcan may be the
sport. One physician had observed numerous IN
stances of extra fingers during q two years resi-
dence at the Founding Hospital; another could
not regard the deformty as a rarity; While third
declared that among about TO- 900 new born infants
which had come under his notice he hao met VIII
an extra finger but once. the fourth speaker as
serted. on the contrary, that the deformlty IN
question must be very common, for ne nau hiua,

that he had seen not only great NUMBER o. lu-
stances of supernumerary fingers, out even VI 'u'
pernumerary hands. -,
Sneaker number six remarked that during hls
twenty five years practice at the Maternlte HOS,
pital he had not met with more than ten OF tnese
cases, and that in statistical record OF the Lon.
don and Vienna lying-i hospitals, comprising 81
least IA 600 children, it was shown that not sin

sion for the purpose Of remarking that the long
service of his master (sxth speaker) at the Mater
mite, joined with his own observations at the same
hospital and also at the Clinique, furnished the
somewhat formidable number of from 80, ,000 tc
100000 infants, among whom only twelve or thlr-
teen cases of extra fingers had been observed AT
