in speaking of Lyman Trumbull, says:
1.-THE defender of the recreant Johnson,
he maintains his consistency by follow
ing in his footeps. Andrew the first
has preceded his apologist into the
ranks of Democracy by but few years;
and now they will sit down IN congen-
iai companionship with the traitors of
1861, and their allies. The latter can
elevate Trumbull to leadership, for he
has been well in sympathy with them,
from the hour of Lees surrender until
now. s-ss5..'f
When Lord Sidmouth once said,

I Where is Major Burnell? Near the
-ltown of Shelby, Ohio, there isa remark
] able curiosity in the shape of child
labout eight years old, the body of which
lhas never grown, and its head only the
first year after its birth. The head,
however, is very large, weighing per-
Ihaps twenty-five pounds. 1t cannot
walk or speak, but gives evidence OF
ii intelligence. 1t takes its food in the
|. usual manner, having had its first
slteeth, which have been succeeded by
/ lothers. Its health has generally been
.. good, and it exhibits piayful4ess as
!. children generally do when in health,
yet it is as helpless as child two days
, old. The parents are about forty years
lof age, and no ocause can be assigned by
them for this strange phenomenon.
