FROM the Carson Appeal, of the 18th,
We learn that Colonel Abe Curry, of that
town, was on Friday last suddenly over
come by paralytic stroke and became
helpless and insensible The fit came
upon him while at his home and in his
own bed chamber. Mrs. Curry says that
when she went to her husband he was
reclining on the lounge, and in the act of
vomiting, as she thought; but his strange
manner disquieted her and she asked
him if she should send for the doctor
and he replied, distinctly, mo" Then,
in response to another question, he made
motion with his left hand, which was
unaffected, and spoke the word "paraly-
sis" This was the last thing he uttered,
and Immediately after its utterance he
fell over upon the lounge with his eyes
closed, helpless and unconscious. The
doctor is confident that the Colonel will
get up again if there is no occurrences
of the paralysis. OF course, however,
even while his symptoms are tie most
favorable possible under the circum-
stances, he is in dreadful peril. This
striking down of this strong, vigorous
man in the midst of health, and with NO
warning or apparent cause, is a great
shock to the community. Whatever may
be the result, Mrs. Curry and her family
may rest assured of full sympathy and
cheerful and abundant aid.
