A Will THAT is DECLARED TO BE I'M
MORAL IN IT'S TENDENCIES Wal
tiers, who died in Brooklyn in 1871, left a
widow, son, a daughter, and $4,000
worth of property. He gave to his wife,
by his will, 81 POO annuity, in lieu of dow

pay it on her ren,amying. The executors
j. IL. Walters and j. Fl. Mullins, paid the
annuity until two years ago, when they
learned that Mrs. Walters was living as
the wife of Henry Buck, liquor dealer, at
Flushing avenue and Walworth street. and
that she had given birth to child named
after him. Mrs. Walters began proceed

that there had been no ceremonial marri-

was contrary to public policy and public

AN OLD ACTORS ILLNEss.-Mr. Ben
DE Bar, the st. Louis manager and imper-
senator OF Halstat, arrived in this city
few weeks ago ir'anything but good health.
His mental condition particularly gave the
most serious concern to his MANY warm
personal friends. This grew so serious of
late that. Oh Friday last Dr. Hammond was
called in, At the conclusion of his exam
nation he gave it has his opinion that Mr..
De Bar was suffering from softening OF the
brain, and pronounced it an incurable
case. Indeed the physician gave no hope
OF any Improvement, as Mr.. De Bar is now
an old man, and beyond the years when
any healthful reaction could take place.
There has been one attack of paralysis.
and it is not improbable that another will
supervene, in which case the end would not
be far distant. MI. De Bar was taken
acutely when in San Francisco, where he
had gone to fulfil a star engagement. It
was then found that night after night.
while he continued acting, he forgot more
and more of his lines as ''Falstaff," until
it became urgent to discontinue the play.
MI. De Barr's term in the public service |
has been long one. Many years ago he
was an actor at the BoWery Theatre in
New York. He early became identified |
with the theatrical interests of st. TOMS |
and New Orleans.-N. 7. Dramatic Ne,vs. |

A SHAWL PIN IN THE LUNGs.-A case
OF rare interest to the medical profession

Corbin of Union. On the Sd of last Sep

was received in the left luug For six
weeks she experienced no trouble, but at
the expiration of that time she had inham-
nation Of the lungs. She was attended by
the local physicians, and at length Dr..
Storrs of this city, was sent for, this being
in mid winter. He advised the parents
who were of course very much alarmed, to
trust to the chance OF the pin being
coughed up, rather than have an incision
made for the removal of it, This course
was pursued. The child recovered her
usual condition of health, nearly, and in
May coughed up portion CT the pin, it
having rusted in two On the Goth of july
the rest of the pin, the head piece. was
likewise gotten rid of, and the child is as
well as ever. apparently. She had lived
for eleven months with shawl pin. over
two inches long, in one of her lungs.-

E.-Before the old Revolution

SNAKE BITE.-Before the old Revolution,
an old Indian gave to q man in Rowan
county by the name of Beaver, On Coddle
Creek, the following receipt for curing Il
snake bite, or poison of any kind. Beaver
made the Indian test the matter by per-
mltting poisonous snake to bite bis max
ed foot twice. He then spread some CT his
ointment on the wound, put on his shoes,
went on with his work land experienced no
further trouble. Beaver kept it q secret
for a long time. made and sold ointment
and made money at it. It is very Simple
and ought to be widely known. One
pound of fresh butter, free from salt, melt
it, put in yolks OF three hen eggs, not the
whites. stew till brown; then add the same
quantity Of sugar as of the eggs, in fifteen
minutes strain for use, spread it on the
skin where the poison is, as often as need
full, till a cure is affected. The man who
gave this to the writer a few months ago,
was in danger of having his leg amputated
now the surface is healed over, and the
skin looks as usual. He is ploughing every
day. Keep it On hand.
