Remarkable Tenacity of Life.

William Mover, the man who on the 24th of June was cut through the body with 8 scythe by an insane man near Lancaster, Pa., is still alive, and the in- dications are that he willrecover, unless inflammation sets in. The Lancaster Examiner thus describes his wounds: "The scythe entered the right side about two inches above the hip, and ex- tended transversely through the body in an upward direction until the point appeared in the left side below the arm pit. The wound at the entrance was five and half inches in length, and at the terminus one and a half inches long. Mover proceeded short distance with the scythe extending through the body, and then pulled it out, reeking with blood, unaided. The lobe of the right lung was severed, and it was not expect ed that he could live more than few hours. To the surprise of all his condi- tion is favorable to his recovery, and his attending physician. Dr. A. s. Rauden- bush, of Adamstown, has expressed the hope of being able to save his life. Mover has been CONSCIOUS since the oc- currence, speaks distinctly and eats and sleeps without difficulty. He is small man, about thirty-two years of age, and is of rather delicate appearance.
