A Most Interesting Case.

It will be remembered by our citizen!
that some weeks ago the whole city wa!
shocked to hear Of the extraordinary anC
(as it was then supposedly fatal accident tc
little Henry Schiller kohn, very intelli
gent boy, about eight years Of age. and the
son of one Of our most respectable mer
chants. Willie at play with some compan
ions on shed near Court street, and while
sliding from the shed down stout piece
of scantling. terrible splinter became
disengaged from the main trunk, and
inflicted wound, from which his re-
covery has been little short of q mira
Gle. The case is certainly curious AND
interesting one, both in its surgical and
other aspects. The injury was inflicted by
q rough sword-shaped splinter, three quar-.
tiers Of an inch in diameter at the larger
end, and twenty-five inches in length. We
have conversed with Mr.. Kohn upon the
subject, and have been particular in trying
to get at the precise facts. The rod or
splinter entered the abdominal cavity about
an inch and half above the groin, and
passing upward, emerged for the body just
behind"tb collar-bone, midway between
the neck and point Of shoulder. There
was no apparent wound Of the inteStines
or any abdominal organ, but the splinter
passed up through the diaphragm and
lungs from base to apex, just missing
the heart and spleen. Immediately afi er
the occurrence OF this alarming accident,
the able and experienced DIR. J. +. John.
ston was called to the patient, and onGls-
pertaining the nature Of the .frightful
wound, and applying such remedy Is the
state of the case then called for, he sum-
moned DR.. CASTOR. one of the most accom-
plished surgeons of the State, into consul
tation. DrS. CASTOR and Johnston then
proceeded, with great skill and success, TO
remove the splinter from the body. We
understand that there was not very copi.
Gus eiluSion of blood, but the escape Of air
from the upper orltice of the wound and
the cXpectoration OF blood indicated the
wound,ng of the lungs.
But strange to stay, after slight fever
for a day or TWO, the brave little sufferer,
unGcr the judicious treatment of his ply
-iciars end the Uis n,edicatrar nature. be-
gan to recover, and is now convaleScent.
DR.. Johnston Il lew days ago removed a
small fragment of the splinter from the
lower part Of the wound, which had occa-
stoned Il slight local irritation, and the
wound is rapidly and finally healing. 1t
really appears to us that after such rccoV-
cry as this no one need fear bodily pcrfoTa-
tion. The case. in our judgment, reflects
The highest credit on the doctors in attend
sncc and on the medical profession in Mont.

tact with the road, aud thereby taking of
materially the Jar ON the machinery. Mr.
, Bramwell then alluded to the importance
OF getting nd OF smoke and noise In con-
nectiOn' with the road. steamer. lie had
observed the steam. omnibus at present
running between Portobello and Edin-
burgh, and 1t reminded him OF Haneock;S
engine, which appeared some years ago, no
far Us Its Innocence on The road was con.
cerned. Only, he believed, the most sus-
pic,ous horses would discover it was
stcam-cneine.
Mr.. Meik said he had also seen the steam
omnibus presently running on the Porto
hello road, but it seemed to him to be be-
fore its time, the roads were so bad. He
believed that until the roads we're kept In
better condition, such engines would never
be successful. He afterwnrd spoke of the
Importance Of APPLYING steam-power on the
| roads, and hoped that, though the tram
ways about to be introduced in Edinburgh
would be worked at first by horses, small
locomotives would soon he employed. Mr..
r. Douglas stated that Mr.. Bartlett, of the
North British Rubber Works, had invented
| an 1ndia-rubber tire built in small slaves,
which he said was q great Improvement
on the expensive continuous tire. The pre-
| sident said Mr.. Thompson bad never claimed
to have introduced traction engines; he
claimed to have introduced an Inda.rub-
| Der tire, and thereby effected an important
improvement. He (the speaker) had
watched the application Of India.rlbber
I tires to the road engines. and on one occa-
| sion he had seen working one of the best
| traction engines with that kind of tire. He
observed that while it was on a road in
good condition it pulled an enormously
heavy load, and worked most admirably
in fact. nothing could be better than the
performance of the engine. The moment,
| however, it got on to bad ground it lost its
efficiency sadly. Mr.. r. Farlie followed
| this with an argument for narrow-gauge
| RAILWAYS, which he would cut down TO
| three feet, and Mr. Robert Douglas read a
paper on the Corliss engine.
