A STRANGE ACCOUNT OF THE EFFECT OF
A BALL RECEIVED In BATTLE.-In the bat
tie of Franklin. November, 1864, Captain
George G. Biddulph, of Go. K, Thirteenth
Illinois Volunteers, was hit by something
supposed at the time to be piece Of she'll
from its effects upon the Captain's head.
His left eye was entirely destroyed, his left
ear deafened, his jaw SO fractured to this
day it is impossible for him toopen his mouth
only partially, his cheek bone fractured, a
hole made upon the left side of the nose
where something had gone into the head.
one large tooth on upper jaw split in two
and half of it gone, and another large dou-
BILE tooth turned half round. He resigned
his commission, returned home, and, al
though suffering much from his wound, ex-
hibited a true soldier bravery in sub init
ting without murmur to his misfortune.
On the morning of December 25, 1866, he
had sensation in rhe head-to use his
own expression-''a as though something had
given way all at once, and the hearing was
instantly restored to his left ear, the sound
of ordinary conversation in the room SEEM
ing like shout at the top of the voice.
This feeling became less painful, until Jan
uary Goth, 1867. when he felt severe pain
in the throat and raised considerable blood,
and, after few hours of suffering, conghed
up rough and battered ounce ball. which
was as ragged as cinders from the furnace,
and measured over an inch in width Up
on an examination of the throat. it was
found that this ragged mass of lead had
cut its way from behind the throat into the
the throat, about an inch below the palate.
Were the ball smooth, the wonder would
not be great, but the ball is battered and
torn, with sharp points and edges, until it
has lost all resemblance to its original shape.

The WEATHER, ETC.-During the latter
part of last week the weather was mild and
warm, and, in consequence, our lumbermen
commenced rafting-in their timber. On
Sunday, however, change took place in
the atmosphere, and on Monday several
inches of snow fell, which had the effect of
stopping rafting operations, altogether. But.
We presume, they will resume their work
again in a few days, as the air is moderating
at this time.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. = The
question of calling Convention to amend
the Constitution of Pennsylvania, is being
discussed and earnestly recommended by a
number of leading journals in the State.
One of the main objects is, to guard against
legislative corruption by an increase in the
number of Senators and Representatives,
and electing the latter by single districts,
instead of counties as at present. The pro-
ject is one deserving of the serious atten-
ton of all who have the interests of the
commonwealth at heart.

AMERICAN =ZINc.--There are only three
places in the United States where 81 eet and
bar zinc is manufactured, and one of these
places is Bethlehem, Pa, from ore taken
from the mines at Friedensville, Lehigh
county. Our zinc is preferable in purity to
the imported article, but cannot compete
with it in price, and is mostly made into
paint. The total consumption of bar zinc
in this country is estimated at ten thousand
tons every year. That of sheet zinc is much
greater.

THB DEpoT.-The question of the loca-
ton of the Railroad depot in this place, has
been somewhat agitated during the past
week. The proposition to locate it on the
public ground, in the north end of the Bor-
ough, seems to meet with much favor, on
account of its eligible situation-being loca-
ted on the bank of the river, and near the
business portion of thetown This piece
of ground has never benefited any one, ex-
cept few individuals, and we see no good
reason why it should not be appropriated to
some general public good That such would
be the case, were the Railroad depot located
thereon, We presume few will deny. At
least, the question of giving the ground for
that purpose is worthy the earnest consider
alton of all who really desire the improve
ment of our Borough, and an increase of
business within its limits.

Duty OF TOWNSHIP AULIToRs.-It may
not be generally known that a general law
OF the last session of the Legislature, ap-
proved April IL, 1866, requires the bounty
accounts of every district to be carefully au-
dited by the Township Auditors, and 'pre-
pare condensed statement of the condition
of these finances, and publish the same, at
the cost of the district, for three successive
weeks, in two papers. 1t not only yrequires
this duty to be performed by the Township
Auditors, but imposes penalty of fifty
dollars upon each Auditor who refuses to
comply, one-half of which fine goes to the
prosecutor, and the other half to the school
fund OF the district. II provides, also, that
the Auditors shall notify the School Direct
ors or other parties having the disbursement
OF the bounty funds, to appear before them
ct such time as the Auditors shall fix, for
the purpose of enabling the Auditors to
close up the bounty accounts of the town.

Mr.. SWooPE's S LECTURE.-As previously
announced, the Lecture on Chemical

markswere terse, beautiful, eloquent, explicit
and eminently edifying to his hearers. The
chemical experiments, in illustration of his
subject, were truly. grand, magnificent, bril-
liant, and highly entertaining to the large
and appreciative audience in attendance.
Mr., Swoope surely has great reason to be
nattered at the favorable result of his ex-
periments, as like general success is seldom
obtained in such multiplicity of scientific
eiucldation, as on this occasion. Pecuniari
