We regret to learn that Miss Belle, a
ten-year-old daughter of Dr.. I. l.. Boz
ton, of this city, is going blind. A care.
full examination by the leading physi-

most mysterious thing about it is, that
she has not suffered any from sore eyes /;
but is. nevertheless, almost blind. When
facing a bright fire she can see the

trust that she may escape the affection.
