Lifting With a Bale; in BIS Brain,



From the Lake C,ty tFior.il) Reporter.
! ligfle over two weeks ago.
David I.lexander, 4 nalaito, about
eighteen years Of age. OF athletic
frame and in vigorous health, was
accidentally shot in the head by a
pistol in the hands of compaai-
on. The pistol was very dimin-
utivc weapon, carrying a No. -

we believe, that is manufactured.
After receiving the injury Alex
ander walked home, a distance of
two mites. without any difficulty.
DIR. iiolt was summoned aud ex-
amined the wound. The ball PEN
etrated the skull just above the
right eye, and into the orifce
made by it the doctor introduced
an eight-inch probe, passing its
entire length directly backward
with a slight inclination upward
until it touched the inner plate oil
the skull on the opposite side, in
which the doctor thought the ball
was imbedded.
DIR. Holt thinks, from the direc-
tion taken by the ball, that il must
have traversed both hemispheres
of the brain, yet, beyond n lItsle
bloody sanies, there has been no
discharge from the wound. Not
u particle of brain matter has es-
capped. From the first the patieut
has suffered little or no inconve-
nieuce. There has been no pain
and scarcely any fever, no cerebral
disturbance OF any kind, no paraly-
sis OF either side, and no symptom
whatever to Indicate that 50 sen

received any injury. In two OF
three days the patient was walk
ing about, and now for more than
q week he has been regularly Oh

health and spirits, aud except fei
q bandage about the head, there Is
nothing in either his appearance,
or manner to excite suspicion that

T'ac Death CT an Aged Elcak,

The death of a ''yoritable een-
tcnarian" is reported from Mount
Athos. Father Niccphorus, of the
convent Iita, has inst passed away
atthe age of one hundred and scv-
entecu years. a romantic s3uv-
onier, says the Leyaut Herald, is
attached to the earlier days of this
venerable priest. lie was the ac-
tual caloyer, who according to
Mr.. IIobhousc, Byron's travelling
companion, entertained the poet
Sin warm chamber with grapes
and pleasant white wine, not
troddcn out with the feet, but
pressed from the grapes by the
haud,r aud who In gratitude was
iminortalized by his guest IN
"Childe Harold :"
Here Gwells the clioyer, nor ruhe ~ nc,
Nor uissard his cheers the passer by
j. welcome stll F"
Father Niccphorus' it is said,
preserved to the last years of bis
long life a lively recollection oI
Byron's visit to Zitza. Mount
Athos air seems to agree with the
monks. for only the other day an.
other ca'oyer died Lt the age OF
one hundred and three. Probably
however, it is not only the air
but the absence of worry" Of
Moant Athos which is favorable
to longevity.
