There is a poem entitled Beautiful
Snow" We have reason to know it now
If we never had before. We remember
reading it some ten years ago. That must
have been shortly after Messrs. Faxon,
Watson, Major Sigourney, Professor Ven
able, Enos Reed, Dora Shaw, and one or
two other unfortunate females, whose
names we cannot recall now, turned it out
upon the public. We always admired it,
but, considering the number of persons
engaged in its construction, it isn't such
remarkable production. However. in

A Case of Needle Swallowing.

The Davenport Gazette gives some par
ticulars of one of the most remarkable
cases of needle swallowing of which we
have ever heard The case occurred in
one of the out-towns of Scott county.
One Mrs. Morrison had, it seems, an al
most incurable habit of placing pins and
needles in her mouth when at work with
sewing, and would frequently attend to
household duties with several of these
little utensils behind her teeth. About
seventeen years ago she swallowed nee.
die and not long thereafter her health be-
gan to fail. Two years after this she
swallowed another needle, and it had the
effect of increasing her ailments, till she
became very much enfeebled. Six years
ago this winter one of the needles made
its way through the breast bone, having
passed through the left lung, and was
pulled out by a physician. Its point was
gone, however, and in few months that
portion of it came through at the right
shoulder The hdy's health improved after
taking out this needle, but the improve
ment was not permanent, and ere long
she commenced to sink again. For the
past three years she has not seen a CON-
Portable day. and consultation after con-
sultation has been held over her case by
physicians. -Four weeks ago she was
given up, and it was thought she could
survive but short period. But one day
in the last week of January she took to
coughing violently, and in the midst OF
her misery up came the second needle,
Whether it was elected from the lungs, or
from some other part of the system, IS
not known. But the lady has been i'm
proving ever since, and is now in far
way for recovery. In fact, she is gaining
in weight and strength, and probably has
years of good health before her. her
habit of holding pins and needles in her
mouth is cured.
