The Man with the Checkercd Head.

The Man with the Checkered HEAD.
The DauJuy Ne,cS tells the follow
ing with reference to an Oriskany man.
" neither it is a reminiscence of his
youthful days, colored up to readable
shape, or whesherit is pure invention
does not weaken the spice of it:
Here is something remarkable. A
| woman in New Haven WAS recently be-
reft of her scalp by the idiosyncrasies Of
IL shaft and belt. The doctors saw that
to remedy the evil they would have to
resort to transplanting, and so they actu-
ally succeeded in getting u sufficient num-
Der of pieces from other pc sons heads
to give this unfortunate woman new
scalp. We hope those New Haven doe
tors used more discretion than did he
who attended u man named Finlay, who
met with Il similar accident in Oriskany.
n. Y, some thirteen years ago. Bits of
scalps from seventeen different persons
were secured by this doctor and adroit-
ly stitched to the head of Mr.. Finlay
When it was done, people came miles
to see Finlay's head; and Finlay, him
self, with his checkerboard Uranium, was
the happiest man in Oriskany. But
| Nhch lhN N"pii"ig SIulltS Stl III Npih-
ing order, and the hair commenced to
grow, the top of the mans head pre-
sented the most extraordinary spectacle
ON record. The doctor. who was about
half the time i'll liquor, had consulted
expediency rather than Judgment, and
secured that new Scalp without any ref
erence to future developments. We new
er saw anything like it. Here was tuft
of yellow hair, and next to it bit OF
black, and then n flame of red, and n
little like silk, and more like tow, with
brown hair, and gray hair, and sandy
hair, and cream-colored hair scattered
on the entire skull. And what mad
man that Finlay was, and nobody could
blame him. lie would stand up against
the barn for an hour and sob and swear
1t was very fortunate that the doctor
was dead. He went off two weeks be
fore with blue ague, which is a milo
sort of disease. Finlay kept his hal
cut short, but that didn't make any diff
, ference. Then he uied dyes. But the,
q only made the matter worse. Then h,
= got a wig, and this covered up the dc
formity; but sometimes at church h.
would get asleep, and the wig would fal
off and make the children cry. One
at the county fair he fell asleep and tn
wig dropped off, and the committee ol
domestic goods, when they cam
e around, stood in front of Finlay's hea,
'i for some FIVE minutes in rapt deligh,
They then immediately decided that
was the most ingenious piece of pate
work in the list, and never discovere
the mistake until they attempted to pi
the premium card To it. AT that Finla
awoke and knocked down the chairma
of the committee and chased the other
ont of the building, We hope thos
New Haven doctors have been MOI
particular, as it is not subject to trii
with.
