considered worth $1,000 cannot now
be purchased for $1,000 Every one
is happy, the oil region papers are jubi-

Eight weeks ago little four years
of age, daughter of Mr.. Henry Bos-
singer of Lewistown, accidentally rot
a common iron tack into her lung.
Child-lilie she tooiishly put the tack
into her mouth, and when about to
laugh or scream il lodged in the wind
pipe, and thence found its way down
to the right lung. Medical aid could
be of no avail; but singularIy enough,
the apprChensiOns at first entertained
that the accident must result i'll death
are not likely to be verified. Except
ing Il constant pain in the right side,
the child does not seem to experience
any serious consequences, and, young
and robust as she is, it is highly
probable that natures hand will work
Il web or sack around the foreign sub
stance, (as is frequently tho ease in
flesh wounds,) and thus protect the
lung from serious injury for life
time.
