The Virginia Chronicle of the 3lst ult.
relates the following tale of desolation
and suffering: Chief White was noti-
fed this morning that an old lady had
been found in house below China
town in dying condition. In COM
pany with Chronicle reporter the
Chief Immediately proceeded to inves-
tigate the case. Arrived at the house,
he found an old lady, named Mrs.
Kate Elsie, confined to her bed and
complaining of terrible pain in her
arm. On examination it was discov-
cred that her right shoulder was dislo-
Gated. She had had pain in the
shoulder since Christmas, but has been
confined to her bed only for the past
four days. She lay in the bleak, desc
late room without particle OF furnl-
ture in it, the wind blowing in through
several broken panes and not particle
of fire in the room. The worst feature
of the case is that she has had no food
for the past three days and nights. She
has been resident of Virginia since
1860, and from information elicited by
Chief White. has always borne herself
we'll and respectfully. She was burnt
out by the great fire, and was COM
PEELED to move into the house she at
present occupies to save herself from
freezing to death. She informed the
Chief that the owner of the house vls-
tied her this morning and threatened
to eject her. Being without friends or
relations on the coast, she asked Mr..
White 10 inform the Odd Fellows and
Mnsons of her sad condition, her late
husband having been a member OF
both orders. Before the fire she had
suit with certain parties in relation to
the possession of property Oh B street,
and her household goods were thrust
into the street. Chief White i'm inedi-
ately took steps to have her removed to
the County Hospital.
As an item of interest to the medical
says the Virginia 0r0mcte,
who ire familiar with the rhinopiaslic
operation, we may cite the condition OF
a Silver City man who, some time ago,
had his nose bitten off in a rough-and
tumble encounter. DR.. Kirby being
called to attend the unfortunate, and
Of nothing better with which
to mend the mnlilated proboscis. at the
suggestion of the victim, cut off the tip
end of a pointer dogs tail, and trans
planted it to the mans face as the fin
ishing point to the deforined nose. All
worked well in healing, and the man
has fine and natural looking nasal
organ. But here is the difficulty: The
isoinent the man now meets an old ac-
the confoundcd nose starts
in aud wiggles him off the sidewalk be
fore he can shake hands. The unfor-
tunate isn't worth curse for anything
but to "set" grouse.
