"During the last heated term Mr.. Mark
Carr, of Walpole, Norfolk county, Mass,
a verp worthy laboring man about sixty
years of age, received a severe sunstroke.
The day following the attack he wan

news came from a farmhouse about
mile distant from where he lived that
Mr.. Carr had appeared there. His
friends Immediately went to his relief
and found him emaciated and weak. He
says that he left his home and that is
the last he remembers. He came to his
senses in the woods and crawled to the
nearest house. The fact is we'll substan-
tiated that he must have remained in
the woods in a state of Inconsistencies

without food or water. Mr.. Carr is re-

one of the most remarkable on record,

Trichine and the terrible disease

common in Germany than in this coun-
try. The disease -trichinosis-is not

that living trichine have recently been

her eyes. By the aid OF the "eye-mir-
