Taught them of future state of rewards and

spirits. spirits. They regarded the volcano of Tene-

posted in catacombs, which still continue to

A SIMILAR CASE -Che Fort WAYNE Tn.
diana) Gazette gives the following account OF
the recovery OF his speech and hearing by a
boy named Stanley Marshal. who lost both in
consequence Of an attack Of lung fever about a
year and a half ago:
A week or ten days ago, George Lloyd and
others, who had for some time before taken =
good deal OF interest in the boy, conceived the
idea OF restoring his hearing by means Of some
violent shock. They fired pistol over his
head and within few inches of his ear, but il
made no impression. Some one told him that
liberal use of liquor would cure him, and
taking notion to try the experiment, last
Monday afternoon he pawned his pocket-book
for glass OF whiskey. Mr.. Lloyd coming in
TAT Strong eating house, and finding him
tlpSy determined to carry the experiment fur
ther, and give him more whiskey, until Le
was quite drunk, and then commenced a rub
bing and shaking that shortly resulted in re-
turn of hearing. He rubbed the ears of the
boy until he was almost as tired of the exercise
as the boy was or rather would have been i'll
sober. Suddenly something seemed to break
loose in his chest or throat There was a re- |
port like the popping Of cork from bottle of
mineral water, and the boy called Lloyd a |
fool the first word he had spoken for over
a year. He soon began to talk more freely |
speech coming back in broken oUcents like those |
OF child. lie went to bed dCite sick that
night, and woke up the next morning quite
Stltt and sore from the harsh treatment of the
lay before, but able to talk and hear nearly as
well as ever The boy says that when his speech |
returned 1t seemed as if weight was lifted
rom his lungs-he felt as if something in him
lad busted and got in both ears.
