SINGULAR EXPERIENCE IN DIPHTHERIA.
The Lewiston Me- Journal says DIR.
Hill has in his possession o diphtheria
membrane removed from the throat OF
gIrl Of fifteen, who was attacked with
the seyerest type OF this terrible disease.
The false membrane is about three inches
in length, completely preserved, and is
perfect east Of the air passage from which
il came. The film is thick, white, tough,
leathery substance, presenting the we'll
known characteristics observed in attacks
of this disease. The girl and her sister
came to this city from the Eastern part
of the STATE to work in the mills, and was
-aRweH on her arrival. She went to work
one day, however, when she was taken i'll
with diphtheria. The usual treatment
IL such cases was resorted 10, but the
patient grew worse. and breathed with
great difficulty. Oa Sunday she had n
violent fit OF coughing. and seemed to be
strangling. The nurse who had charge
Of her had the presence OF mind TO put
her finger down the girls throat. and
seized tie end of something which ap-
peared loose there, and pulled out what
proved to be the false membrane Of which
We have spoken The presence of mind
OF the nurse saved the girl, who is reeoy-
eFlng.

A REPRESENTATIVE few years past
there assembled at retail store in the western
part of this city many men, who bore cogno-
mems relative to their various business pursuits.
They would smoke, crack jokes, and express
their opinions on any subject with as much en-
thusiasm as lawyer would on any important
case pending in court. The chief of this COM
pany was called Lieutenant General" always
in the saddle and good spirits. There were
'Hoops," "Greenbacks, 7" Sugar" 'Mackerel,"
"Pills," "Shoes," Clothing" and "Specta-
cles." Mr.. "Hoops" being strongly opposed to
Lieutenant General in politics, it was anus
ing to the other parties to critcise the two opin
ions; one word was sufficient to commence the
battle The others would listen, undecided
which would gain the victory, until a word from
''Spectacles" behind the counter would burst
the bubble, and roar of laughter would end
the contest for that evening
Some one now proposes to bring out the
checker-board, and have 'Hoops" and Sugar
play; "specta6fs" gets it, and smiles when he
feels the ''nic1els' in his hand. They COM
mence, and the outsiders look on with great in
terest Advice is given gratis on all sides
''That move will kill your 'That move will
give you the govt for lifep' 'Hold on! hold oni
let me see, Ssc!'' until the close; then some one
will ask "Hoops" which came out best, the in
variable answer is "dbout eyen' "Shoes'' is
blessed with powerful (?) imagination; walk
ing one day in Boston, he noticed placard in
window of California Beetp' and the size of
the wonder can't be beaten; he says, that it
was the circumference of stove funnel, and
as long as the height of that room, which was
ten feet!
Lieutenant General some years since, while
in business in York county, became indebted to
the late Judge c.. The settlement was not
quite satisfactory to the General" but he
knew it would all come out right. During the
fall the Judge wished to sell the General
some apples, and he offered him twenty live
cents per basket, and the Judge accepted it, in
due time a cart containing from ten to twenty
bushels of apples was sent to him, and the cart
man asked to have them measured by basket
as instructed. Now the General" had a good
chance to get the joke on the Judge, SO he got
a basket that would hold about fifteen bushels
and tipped all the apples tnto it! Soon after the
Judge asked him how many baskets OF apples
there were. "One basket" was the reply. "One
basket?' asked the Judge in amazement.
yes sir; please step this way and see the ap
PIES and basket" The Judge soon saw the ap'
pes, basket and joke.
-, put this company is now scattered, and where
VIC s'ore was nothing remains to tell the tale
