"A large black dog in New Orleans

liberately going up to the fourth floor of a
high building and jumping out of the

The Nashville (Tenn.) Banner says
"a cat who makes her residence at 21O
Fillmore street, South Nashville, night
before last gave birth to seven kittens
linked and combined together, forming a
perfect round ball, with seven heads we'll
displayed. They are still alive and are
visited by many curious persons
William Kingswell, of Danbury,
Conn, was arrested few days since for
brutal treatment of borrowed horse. In
order to make the animal walk as fast as
his own he tied string to its tongue, at
taching the other end to the head of his
horse, which, by a sudden start, jerked the
tongue out by the roots. Kingswell es-
capped trial, the owner of the horse being
satisfied with a pecuniary compensation.
Edward Moore, of Easthampton,
Mass, young man Of twenty, several
months ago swallowed small whistle for
counterfeiting the voice of birds, etc., and
it is now lodged near the entrance of the
passage from the stomach to the bowels.
The safety of the young man depends
upon the corroding qualities of the whis-
tie, made of two thin pieces of tin about
an inch long, half an inch wide and
wound with Irvine
Lewis Haines, employed in silver
ware mandatory in Concord, N. H., died
recently under very peculiar circumstances
Near where he was at work some nitrous
and sulphurOus acids were accidentally
spilled on the floor. These acids united
and formed the fatal gas known as "cyan-
Ogen." Mr.. Haines inhaled the gas for
several hours, and it produced asphyxia
and operated much the same as pneumonia.
Being ignorant of the deadly nature of the
gas, he neglected to call a physician until
it was too late to save his life.
The Detroit Ne,cs gives the following
incident of the recent tornado: "a dog
was found on the Jones farm, impaled on
a dry limb of an elm tree. The limb was
about two inches in diameter and three
feet long, with branch about ten inches
in length, nearly midway between the
ends. The limb entered the dog just be-
hind the shoulder, and passed directly
through the body, coming out near the
flank, and was stopped by the branch
above mentioned. It is supposed that the
unfortunate canine was taken up by the
wind, hurled against the limb, breaking it
off, and was then carried to the place
where he was found'
The Augusta (Ga) Chronicle tells this
extraordinary story: "A physician Of this
city received from a brother physician in
a neighboring city, few days since, hu-
man heart which has attached to it most
remarkable story. The man from whose
body the heart was taken attempted to
commit suicide by stabbing himself with
knife. The weapon penetrated the heart
and cut cash entirely through it. Not
withstanding this the man lived for thirty
days afterward, and would probably have
survived for many years had he not risen
from his bed and got on drunk. While
in an intoxicated condition he died. The
heart is now in the museum of the Georgia
Medical College,"
