ALTHOUGH Imprisonment for debt has
been abolished in Great Britain, 10000
persons nearly were arrested for debt last
year, one-fourth of whom went TO prison
rather than pay. They were committed,
however, not for inability, but for unwill-
ingness to meet their obligations.

A MAN died under peculiar circum-
stances at MELVILLE, Cumberland County,
Pa, recently. He struck his horse with "a
stick of wood, and small splinter lodged
! in his thumb. He soon afterward expert
enced a painful sensation at the point
where he supposed it had entered, but
several physicians who examined it gave
it as their opinion that there was NO
splinter in the thumb. Soon after lock
jaw supervened and the man died. A
surgical examination of the thumb dis
closed an almost imperceptible splinter.

found by the wife of Otis Hayden, OF
Newburyport, Mass, among some old

that illness of the person to whom this
letter was addressed at the time of its re
ception, and who soon after died, was the
cause of its being mislaid and forgotten
