WILKES BoorH AND SIoKnEs. In the
Army Medical Museum at Washington,
Ford's old theatre. there are some inter.
esting specimens. No. 4.066 consists
OF three vertebrm from the neck of O
human being, dried and mounted on q
stand. The entry in the official cata.
logue is, "the third. fourth and fifth
cervioal vertebl @-from case where
death occurred q few hours after injury,
April %. 1865" The bones have been
fractured by conoidal carbine ball.
No. 4,0S7 Is glass phial, filled with nlco.
hol, in which is suspended q piece Of
cylindrical. white, cloudy matter. much
jagged and torn on one side, and the Of
doial entry reads rs follows: "a portion
Of the spinal cord from the ceryical re-
gion, ,traversely perforated from right to
left by carbine bullet, which fractured
the laminm of the, fourth and fifth verte-
b,m. The cord is much torn and disco
lored by blood. N-tFrom case where
death occurred few hours after injury,
April 26, 1867
And this, as we learn from q writer in
Appleton's Journal Iis nil that remains
above ground of John Wilkes Booth. Is
the writer certain? 1t would seem that
the surgeons who ssevered Booths head
from his body, in order to obtain these
ghastly specimens for tho qualification of
a morbid public curiosity, ought not to
have astopped there. If they did, they
exhibited degree Of unpracticability
not very credible to arace which prides
itson.,on making everything, even the
CHASTITY menneniO miro allowed named, pau.
Every inch of this poor madman was
valuable. Every shred of muscle, every
tendon, every spiculs of bone were worth
its weight in gold. His heart, preserved
in alcohol. was beyond all price. What
became Of those precious remains and
why were they wasted?
Booths fragments do not lack society,
such as it is. No. 1885 exhibits tie
shattered portion of q right leg, mount
ed lengthwise on q black stand. The
bones looks strong and white, but is
fearfully shattered about the middle by
q shot, and the record tells ns that this
is the tibia and fbula of D. e. s., Ma
jor. General U. s. ", whose right log
was amputated at Gettysburg, July 2,
1868. Contributed by the subject u
who is now United States Minister to
Spain. The subject whose refined taste
and purity of life are so we'll known,
must feel great pleasure in calling on his
fibula and tibia, mounted lengthwise for
the inspection OF the loyal and the scien-
tific, whenever he visits Washington.
But there arc some bad persons who
would not be sorry to see Booths leg
oontrasted with the bones of D. T.. SIS
neck, and who Hatter themselves that the
change would not be so detrimental to
popular curiosity aud the interests OF
true science as many might suppose.

The nuisance and bore of an old citi-
zen who used to prate about the incon-
veniences Of an "old.fashioned winter"
has subsided. There are now too many
who can match his reoollections with
their own experiences of 1873.

it back to Him double when you finish
that great poem you are going to write,
and become rich man.
Naturally, after such beginning, my
father was acquainted with all Timrod's
circumstances, and that he was never in
want again, is matter beyond doubt.
On the contrary, the remainder of his
life was sustained and soothed by every
care and comfort that kindness and
friendship could devise. That he was
in want Mt oil, was the misfortune of the
people among whom his lot was cast. He
had staked all and lost oil but honor for
a cause which was dearer to them and to
him than oil on earth besides, and whose
sorrows, one might think, are heavy
enough to satisfy tho vengeance OF their
leadliest enemy.
l have only to add, that these facts
were kept strictly private in my fathers
family circle, and would never have been
made public. but for the frequent asper-
sions upon the benevolence and public
spirit OF tho people of the South, and
because those TO whom the publication
Of the facts would cause pain are most of
them safe
sion."
Respectfully, J.
The Advertiser, in printing the above
letter, editorially says:
"The letter printed in another CO..
lumn, from lady in Columbia, South
Carolina, concerning the last days of the
poet. Henry Timrod, will afford degree
of pleasure to all who have become inte.
rested in this poets verses and his sor-
roYful fate. That there was time
when he really suffered for lack of COM
mon comforts, there can be no question.
It is some satisfaction to be assured
that this suffering was relieved by ap-
preciating friends. before he himself
yielded up his hope Of living to do no.

WEvisited the Clothing Department Of Glenn

we found our old friend T. G.. Mott busy in cut
ting garments out of the finest and handsomest
cloths and cassimeres ever seen in Sudbury. The
goods are handsomely displayed, and the only
trouble we could see was how one can make a
satisfactory selection from such large assort-
meut, as every piece looks SO handsome that all
must be admired. The Clothing Department of
this establishment is now one of the finest in this
place, aud the neat looking garments turned out
by MI. Mott, sustain his former reputation as one
Of the best wOrkmen in the country.

Mr.. Breslin has met with great success as a

Thursday evening. From the many Hatterirg
notices which he has received, we recall the fol-
lowing taken from Philadelphia paper
"Last evening large and appreciativc audi.
ence assembled at Green street NJ. +. Church, to
hear the talented lecturer, Wm. NJ. Breslin, ESQ,
editor of the Lebanon AdtvIiser. His subject,
Before the Mast," was handled with his usual

Dected with "A life on ocean, were eagerly listened
to- and fully appreciated BY those present."
