Too Much Fourth.

We failed this week to receive our
regular "local items," from several
of our correspondents. We account
for the omission on the ground that
the Fourth occurred during this
week, and it does sometimes have
the effect to unsettle ones ideas

the usual letter. How is it ?

INTERESTING FAcTs.-A blind boy had
become thirteen years of age when bis
eyes were touched by a surgeon. He
thought scarlet the most beautiful color;
black vas painful. He fancied every
object touched him, and he could not
distinguish by sight what he perfectly
we'll knew by feeling, for instance. the
cat and dog. When his second eye was
touched, be remarked that the objects
were not so large in appearance to this
as the one opened at first. Pictures he
considered only partly colored surfaces,
and miniature absolutely astonished
him. seeming to him like putting II
