A GAP IN THE MEMORY.
A Citizen Of Elmira Who Forgets the Occur
renceS Of Three Years.

ELMIRA. N. r.. Jan. %, 1879
A case having but few known parallels In uedi-
cal practice Is just now puzzlng the faculty in ths
section and forming subject for universal COM
ment. The circumstances attending 1t are az fol-
lows:-
Nearly three years ago Mr.. r. A. Hall. then o
resident OF this CITY, was rendered unconscious By
striking his head against beam in his barn. He
speedily recovered and no serious consequences
resulted from the injury up to within tho
past few days. Shortly after the accident
MI. Hall engaged in the mercantile
business in Scranton. Pa, and removed
thither with his family. one day last week he was
obliged to leave his store and 90 home, owing to q
severe and peculiar pain IN his head After reach
Ing his residence he taken with violent spasms
which continued at short intervals until ten
O'Clock at night. when they left him. and he sank
into quiet sleep. resting well all night. Upon
awaking in the morning. his actions were so singu-
lar that 1t was long time before his friends could
explain the cause. 1t was finally discovered that
his memory, from the date OF the accident in
Elmira, was entirely gone Everything that had
occurred during the past three years, and
during that time many important events had
transpred In his liie was as blank to him as Ii he
had been In swoon for all that time. He recOg-
nized his wife and others he had known before the
accident, but two children that were born during
the past three years were entire strangers to him.
His Oldest child, five years old, he remembered
only as she was when but two. His mind seemed
weak, and his friends hoped that with the return
OF his usual good health his memory would be re-
stored In day or two, however, both his mental
and physical vigor returned, but the singular gap
In his memory remained. His partner in bust
ness Mr. Pratt Mr.. Hall mad known for years.
Mr.. Pratt at the time OF the injury to Mr. Halls
head was principal of school at Danvillc, Pa. and
Mr.. Hall remembers him only as that He entered
the latters room day or so after he was taken
sick, and Mr.. Hall was very much surprised to see
him, and asked him about his school and friends
in Danvlle. Mr.. Hall could hardly be brought
to believe his present condition, but he finally
saw that it could not be otherwise. Every effort
has been made by his family, by bringing up old
associations, the deaths OF friends and rela-
tves and important events in his life for tho
past three years, TO awaken some sign OF
recollection of that time but in vain. He was
greatly surprised to near that ne had been doing
business in Scranton for two years, and in drive
through that city day or two since he recognized
none of the business firms with whom he has had
dealings during that time. he Is now in this city,
visiting old scenes and friends, in hopes that he
may fix his mind ON something which viii lead It
back over the three years that are blank to MIN
and result in entirely restoring his memory.
