A Coop JOKE ON THE BosroN DOCTORS

A Coop JOKE ON THE BosroN DocroRs.-
A Boston correspondent gives rather un-
complimentary mention of the obsterical
scientists" at the . Hub -
Our medical savans have recently been
hoaxed in most incredible manner by an
old maiden teacher of Nantucket, who came
here in ill-health, and was pronounced by
the surgeons of the hospitals and others to
be afflicted with an ovarian tumor She was
gwen up as incurable, and last week gave
birth, at her home, to a fine girl. What the
doctors think of the disappearance of their
tumor has not transpired, but in spite of the
utmost edeavors to keep it secret the joke
has leaked out and will not soon subside.

JUsr WHAT WE SAY.-The Carson Appeal

thus sensibly delivers itself:
Grant, if he were the topper the Copper
head press would make him appear. not only
would not be the General-in-Chief of the
United States Army. nor the nominee of
the National Union Republican party for
President but would be more likely noted
for patronizing the cheap groceries of Galena,
cursing the war which denied him honors,
and acknowledging the misfortunes of his
life to be the just reward # his own bad hab-
its. by bawling himself hoarse in damning
the nigger and swearing by and voting for
the Democratic ticket. If Grant is given to
getting drunk, the Copperheads are not par
ticularly wise in telling of it for unless he
does experience downfall the Democracy
have little to expect at his hands. and they
may as well make up their minds that be
will be the next President.

a Cough or soreness in the Chest as prompt, no
matter what form the disease might assume. Hen

world for Bronchial Pulmonory affections For

Hard Luck.

One OF the strangest incidents on
record has come to our notice. A
German enlisted in the Ninth Maine
Volunteers, served out his time, ac-
companied his regiment as far as
New York, where he was taken sick
and left behind. AS soon as able he
started for Maine to be discharged
with his regiment and receive his pay.
Arrivingin Boston, without money.
he was picked up by a pretended
friend, who told him that if he would
do an errand for hin, he would pay
his fare to Maine the next morning.
to which he assented The man gave
him q letter to deliver, and await am
answer. He did so, the gentleman
who received it saying it was all
right, and giving him $40, which the
German gave to the man who sent
him. But short time after the Ger
man was arrested on charge of for
gerry, and being stranger, was una
bile to prove his innocence, and was
sent to State Prison for three years.
He states that while in prison he has
seen the william who got him into
trouble, he having been sentenced to
eight or ten years for some crime to
him unknown. The German was
liberated on the 81 instant, and start
eel on foot from Boston to Portland.
Maine, to find some members of his
regiment, in order. to establish his
claims to arrears of bounty and pay
due him from the United States. The
poor fellow walked the entire dis
lance on the railroad track, and ar
rived in Portland on the 18th inst
He has made his claim for back pay, |
and is now trying to get work. A |
rather hard experience, we call it.

ACURIosITY.-On Tuesday Of las
week, Mr.. Morris and his wife, who
live in Beech Creek Township came
to town with their two children who
are most hideously and terribly de-
formed. There is one Of each sex,
the male being twenty two years old.
The male is about thirty inches high,
and weighs forty pounds. The fe-
mate is about twenty eight or nine
inches, weighs about 10 pounds,
and is about twenty one years ofage.
Their faces look ike they were ter
ribly swollen. and evidently diseased.
They have but little if any mind
The male does not talk at all, and tic
female speaks but few intelligent SEN
fences. Their feet are cramped and
drawn up. and they can walk but a
little way before giving out. They
are as helpless as infants. Mr.. Nor
ris being poor, he made application
to the County Commissioners for as
sistance in supporting them, These
are the greatest living wonders of the
human race that have ever come un-
der our observation. bssia1 u
