A SINGULAR CAsE-The Reese River
Reyeille records the following singular case
of disease, in the county hospital of Aus
tin, Ne: A man named A. I. Powers,
about thirty five years of age, was admitted
there on the 9th Of November, while suffer
ing apparently from an attack of inhamma-
tory rheumatism. During the last three
years he had several attacks of that disease.
In the present instance the disease was
frighttully painful, and the bones Of the pa
tient seemed to be too sore to admit Of the
slightest touch 1t yielded, however, to
treatment, in the course of a week, and the
Inflammation, except in the right leg, sub
sided. There the swelling increased daily,
and when incisiOus were made below the
knee there was free discharge of pus.-
Incisions were also made above the knee
which were attended by a similar discharge.
An examination showed that the perosteum
near the head Of the femor or thigh bone.
and along the entire length of the tbia, or
large bone of the leg. was entirely destroyed.
The scharges from the incsions in the leg
continued to increase, and amputation seem
ed to be the only means to arrest the spread
of the disease and save the patients life
On Wednesday last the County Physician,
Dr. Wixom, assisted by DR.. Goetehus, per-
formed the operation about six inches below
the joint Of the thigh. At the point Of am
putation and an inch below it, the periosteum
and bones were sound, but the marrow was
diseased After the amputation a section
was cut out of the leg below the knee, ana
flesh muscles. bones and marrow seemed to
be in a state of decomposition. The knee
joint was in similar condition, and the
tibial artery, from the knee to the ankle was
filed with coagGated blood The tendency
of the bone structure Of the system to. decom.
position appeared TO be general until it was
arrested by constitutional treatment The
name given TO the decease is necrosis. The
patient appeared to he doing we'll, and there
was slight hopes that he might recover, but
he died Friday, November 90

HONORABLE CoURTsHIP.-A very pretty
incident We heard the other day, which we
cannot help relating. A young lady from
the South, 1t seems, was wooed and won by
a youthful physician living in California
When the engagement was made the doctor
was rich, having been successful in San
Francisco. 1t had not existed many months,
however, when by an unfortunate invest
ment he lost his entire - heap" The event
came upon him, it should be added, just as
he was about to claim his bride. What
does he do? Why, like an honorable and
chivalrous young fellow as he is, he sits
down and writes the young lady the par
ticulars of the unhappy turn which had
taken place in his fortunes, assuring her that
II the fact produces any change of feeling
towards him, she was released from all the
promises she had made to him. And what
does she do, the dear, good girl? Why, she
takes lump Of pure gold which her lover
had sent her in his prosperity as keepsake,
and having it manufactured into ring. for
wards it to him with the following Bible in
scription engraved in distinct characters on
the outside:
" Entreat me not to leave thee, or to re-
turn from following after thee for whittier
thou eoest will 60, and where thou lodgest
will lodge; thy people shall be my people,
and thy God my God; where thou diest |

death part me and thee.
The lover idolized his sweetheart more
than ever when be received this precious
evidence of her devotion to him both in
storm and sunshine We may add that for
tune soon again smiled upon the young ply
sician, and he subsequently returned to the
South to wed the girl he loved, and who
loved him with such an undying Affection
