A WHITEHALL n. W paper tells a
story of little boy of that town who felt
something crawling on his hand after that
hand, and part Of the arm, had been am
putated. TIE limb was dug up from the
ground in which it had been buried, and a
large worm was discovered in the palm of
the hand. The arm was then put in a
jar f alcohol, and it being
necessary 10 crowd it in, the
youth absolutely Shrieked with pain.
He afterward complained Of a cramped
feeling, and said that the little finger and
one next to it were growing together. On
looking at the jar again, the fingers were
found TO be in position which would have
produced the sensations described, had the
amputated part of the arm been still ad-
herring to the upper portion. Such sensa-
tions are by no means unprecedented,
though il is rare to find them so strongly
marked.
