A Youth with a Head Measu-
ring Almost u Yard.

ring Almost u Yard.
The name of the dwarf is Levi B.
His father is with him and attends
10 the taking in Of the quarters oil
those who come to see his son. The
boy lies upon short bed, in room
otherwise vacant. He is indeed a
monstrosity. Probably no person
with so large a head has ever lived
to attain this persons age, the size
being thirty.three inches-nearly a
yard. His body is very small and
seems to have shrunk away. He has
but one limb that he uses and that
is the left arm. The others lie as
lifeless as so many sticks. They are
insonsible to pain of any kind, and
never suffer from cold or heat. The
development of the head seems tobe
entirely in the upper region, which
gives it the appearance of u pear
The chin and cheeks are about the
average size, as are also the eyes, cars
and nose. The swelling" begins
Just above these organs and extends
gradually to the topofhis head, which
is well-nigh fat. The skin seems to-
have been drawn up by the action,
and hence has kept the eyes in quite
peculiar shape. He sees straight
when he, lying in bed, looks at those
standing at the head Of it.
"You say he is twcnty'thrco years
DID," said a reporter to the boys faith
or. "When was he born and whcre?"
"IIc was born in Worth County,
Mo-, in 1856"
"Was his head of unusual size
when he was born%
"No, but it soon began to grow and
continued to do so until the child
was fifteen months of age. While it
was growing there were great seams
in his head and he cried great deal.
Now he does not appear to suffer"
"What are his habits?"
"They are very few and exceeding
ly simple. He has never been able
to turn himself in bed since he was
born. Every want has to be sup
piled, and he requires the most
watchful care. He seems to live only
in his head and stomach, He is al
most incapable of sensation outside
of his own natural wants. He eats
and drinks with good appetite and
sleeps about as regularly as other
people. His health has always been
good, with one or two exceptions,
he had chills."
as he intelligent"
ooh, quite so. lie talks and sings
as you can very easily demonstrate
by speaking to him."
The suggestion was adopted and
the conversation was then carried on
between the reporter and the dwarf.
He speaks with some difficulty, and
about as intelligently as the ordinary
backwoods boy, He is more like
child than a man, yet lacks the vi,
vacity of a child. He enjoys tho so,
cicty Of children to great extent,
and has adopted many of the customs
of childrcn. He has destroyed all
his teeth by eating candy.

The Great Wall of China.

The great wall of China was mea-
surcd in many places by Mr.. I'm
thank, an American engineer, lately
engaged in survey for a Chinese
railway. His mcasurments gave the
height at eighteen feet, and u width
on top of fifteen feet. Every few
hundred yards there is tower TWEEN
ty-fvc feet high. The foundation of
the wall is of solid granite. Mr.. I'm
thank brought with him brick
from the wall, which is supposed to
have been made two hundred years
before the time of Christ. In build.
ing this immense stone fence to keep
out the Tartars, the builders never
attempted to avoid mountains or
chasms 10 save expense. For 1900
miles the wall goes over plain and
mountain, and every foot Of the foun-
dation is in solid granite, and the
rest of the structure solid masonry.
In some places the wall is built
smooth up against the bank or can
mons, or prccipices, where there is a
sheer descent of 1000 feet. Small
streams arc arched over, but in the
larger streams the wall runs to the
waters edge, and a tower built on
either side, On top of the wall there
are breastworks, or dcfcnses, facing
in and ont, so the defending forces
can pass from one tower to another
without being exposed to any enemy
from either side, To calculate the
time of building or cost of this wall
is beyond human skill, So far as the
magnitude of the work is concerned,
it surpasscs everything in ancient or
modern times of which there is any
trace. The Pyramids Of Egypt arc.

LETTER FROM PARRYvILLE.
PARRYyILLE, Pa, DEC. 0, 1878.


EpIroR ADroCGTE ALLOW me TO sxtcnd
ngratuldtionsu the enlargement and
improved appearance of your always well
come sheet. To be able to enlarge paper
in the midst of these panicky times which
so sorely "try mems souls" is certainly no
small achievemnt, but to be able TO do all
of this without corresponding increase in
the price is little less than genuine marvel.
To be sure it gives us much pleasure to note
this improvement and ID il bnt fair that we
express publicly our appreciation of the
treat.
And, now, what chn ] do to aid you,jn
pcrpetuating and still perfccting your pro-
gressive and worthy undertaking? News is
scarce, and naturally hesitate to write un-
less have something worthy of recital. /
have one item however that is really inn
portant j true. l have just been told that
the starting Of our works, so long idle, is now
fixed fact, and is simply,a matter of time,
and that not very distant. Hitherto, certain
parties have talked of leasing the works, tut
it is said that negotiations are now pending
for the purchase of the property. 1t is fur
ther stated that work will be commenced
shortly after New Year, preparatory to going
into full operation early in Spring. So many
have been the rumors, and 90 dclusivc, that
we have grown 10 be rather skeptical on this
subject. Wehcp0, however, tshall we hope,
in vain this time, again?) that the above Is
piece of genuine news. If the fond hopes
now entertained be realized, what change
will be wrought in our condition and sur
roundipgsi How different will everything
be The pail of inactivity so long resting
upon our once gay and happy villasO will be
lifted, and behold, all things will be new,
Then, Mr., Editor, we shall have some items
TO give you oftener than at present, and
Parryville will assume its wonted place in
the world of industry and labor, and thus
realize that its glory has not set forever.
More anon. Yours, &C.,
