A Man Discovered with Three

A Man Diseoyexed with Three
Arms In Pennsylvania.
tFrom the WiliiAmsport (Ps.) Gazette and
| = - 2 - Bulletin.
70 Among the passengers on the
train bound SOUTHEAST evening
was man born and raised in
Otsego, New York. His name
lis William Jacobs. He prides
himself on three well developed
arms and hands, the member ex-
traordinary having grown above
the right shoulder, blade. 1t hangs
suspended down the back, and
can be raised and lowered at will.
In length it is shorter than the
arms proper, but possesses extra.
ordinary muscle, which he dis
plays whenever occasion demands
it, No person passing through a
railroad car or meeting him upon
the street would observe any &C.
lormity; but after becoming cog
infant of this singular case, would
perceive a peculiar fit of bis coat.
He states that be has often been
questioned as to why be does not
place himself upon exhibition, or
become one of Barnnnrs perrIa-
nent attracsicns. His fhvariable'
reply is, that he is arerse to pub
lie exhibitions. His father being
a wealthy farmer, he has always
preferred 10 remain at home, and
was the most active and proftaS
Bile of farmers help. He would
assist IN loading hay and at the
same time holding securely the
horses reins. On several occa-
sions he came near breaking this
member by sudden
iaiis, and at ose time snaered' the
bangs of a fulF sized &lon upon
he foreigner. On one occasion,
when about eighteen, the village;
:oys thought they would have a
title sport at'"three arms's" ex-
,ense, land commenced a system

forbearance ceased to be a virtue.

style, arm number three

arently outrivaling number one

The four who had ministere9

The four who had ministered
took their seats and were served
i IN their turn, four others taking
their places, and socn. Upon :he
sisters side of the house, OH a front
bench, the sisters were, in a SINH
lar manner performing the same
ordinance. 5i> ..s.a.s' fs..sa .,.-s5..' .
At length they broke their fast.
From two to four persons, each
with a spoon, ate together from
one pan of soup, very quietly,
fifty feeding like one, SO to SPEAK,
the absence of sound proceeding
in part from the absence of earth
en- plates. Then they cut from
the meat and from the quarter
loaves, partook of the butter, these
being all the food. There was no
salt nor any other condiment.
The occasional bowl was for water.
l suppose that most persons would
think that there had been
ENOUGH KISSING
Of the kind; but about this time a
young Bishop, an assistant, stood
up at the center of the main ia.
bles, and after some remarks shook
hands with the sister upon his
left and kissed the brother, upon
bis right, and from brother to
brother, and from sister to sister,
the kiss went round the congrega- |
tion.
Meantime, the assistant Bishop
divided the bread, or cakes, which
were unleavened and sweetened
He directed the members, while |
eating the bread, to reflect upon
the sufferings of the Saviour. His !
manner was devout and impress
sive. As he and Bishop D.
passed around among the women,
distributed the bread, the former
repeated several times, in a sono-
rous voice, these or similar words:
"Dds 6ord das ,cir 6rechen ist die |
GemeiasaG1t des LeiBes Christi"

The wine, which smelt strong,
