A REMARKABLE CAsE..-The Milwaukee
Wisconsin notices remarkable case in
which bullet passed into the brain of a
man who yet lives in apparently good health.
1t appears that Ole Eversen, Norwegian.
about nineteen years of age, private of
company X, I'd Wisconsin infantry, was
wounded in the head by rifle ball on the
2lst of July, 1861, just as he was entering
the cattle of Bull run. He was taken pri-
soner and carried to Richmond, and there
attended by DR.. James NJ. Lewis, the sur
geon of his regiment, who had also been
captured. DR.. Lewis and several rebel doc
tors decided that any attempt to remove the
ball, which had plainly lodged in the brain,
would end fatally, and, therefore, contented
themselves with dressing the wound, which
soon healed up, although it would open at
intervals and discharge a good deal of Of
fcnsive matter. After years imprison
ment the man was exchanged, went home
and commenced working on a farm, where
he seemed to get entirely WELL A veal

MISCELLANEOUS.


A correspondent of the Maine Farmer
promulgates some important facts, which
should prove valuable hints to the owners
of Hemlock lands in this section.
The State of Maine has within its borders
q source of great wealth which has hitherto
attracted but little attention. This neglect
ed mine is found in the hemlock forests
which cover large section of the State,
comprising about five millions of acres. 1t
is assumed, ard no doubt correctly, that this
land will produce twenty cords of bark to
the acre or one hundred millions in all.
Were this to be removed to market in bulk,
the process would be very expensive, dimin-
ishing very materially the net product of
cash from this source. But, bya well known
process for extracting the strength of the
bark and preserving it in liquid form, the
value of this forest product has been appre-
ciated many fold. A fair test of the cost OF
procuring and getting it to market showed
it to be very profitable business. y cord
of bark will produce about 27 gallons of ex-
tract, costing, delivered at some point OF
| shipment, from five to six dollars A gallon
weighs ten pounds. or 270 pounds to cord
of bark This sells readily for six cents
per pound giving $l6.20 per cord of bark
or about 81 clear profit.
Owing to the excellent tanning properties
of this extract, it will always find ready
market, both domestic and foreign, and, OF
the supposi.ion that the yield will equal
( per cord, the estimate which we have M
reason to question, we have an aggregate o
money value in the hemlock bark of the
wilds of Maine of eleuen hundred millions
This leaves out of account the lumber valu,
of the trees felled for the bark, which mus
he considerable as the country become:
cleared up and the means of access to it i'm
I proved. With this reserve fund to draw
upon, the people of Maine and other State
producing hemlock timber, exercising pro
per industry, may grow rich as certainly ant
as rapidly as those States lying in NOR
genial latitudes and blessed with NOR
prolific soil ..t

We were at the brink of the chasm. MY

-"Thank God, there above,-I have the
chid,"a o thrill of horror ran through the
heart. Then it seemed to her impossible
that it could be true she fell with her face
to the ground, and could only weep. But
when the light re. appeared and by its weak
rays she could discern her child, and see
that he was alive, heaven seemed to open to
her in all its glory. Never did she forget
the blessed moment My mother was very
pious woman, and was on this account held
in great esteem hy all who knew her. God
laid many trials upon her, but never saw

CROPS IN NORTH CARoLINA.-The Char
lotte North Caroliua) Times says: 1--WE have
never seen more promising appearance
than the wheat crop now presents. More
than the average breadth has been sown,
the stand is remarkably good, and the stock
greer and vigorous. We conversed yester.
day with many growers, who assured us
that it was not far enough advanced to be
injured oy the late unparalleled spell ofcold.
All the early peaches, apricots, &c, are
doubtless killed, but the apples and late
peaches, cherries, &c, have SO far escaped.
We have every prospect of an abundent har-
vest, and it becomes our people to see to il
that all the corn and meat be saved for home
consumption. Raise necessaries first, and
| then cotton"

LINCoLN's CONFERENCE.-The follow
ing extract shows how closely humor and
sadness were united in Mr.. Lincoln's ma
ture:
His conversation was suggestive, original,
instructive and playful; and by its genia!
humor, fascinating and attractive beyond
comparison. Mirthfulness and sadness were
strongly combined in him. His mirth was
exuberant; it sparkled in jest, story and
anecdote, and the next moment those pecu-
liarly sad, pathetic and melancholy eyes
showed man familiar with sorrow and
acquainted with grief" / have listened for
hours at his table, and elsewhere, when he

leaders and other great men of the nation,

verdict of all, in stating that as a converse.
zionist he had no equal. One might meet
in company with him the most distinguished
men, of various pursuits and professions,
but after listening for .wo or three hours,
on separating, it was what Lincoln said that
would be remembered. His ideas and his
| illustrations were those that would not be
! forgotten. Men often called upon him for
| the pleasure of listening to him. have
heard the reply to an invitation to attend
the theatre, mo, l am going up to the
