A FEW weeks ago young man resid-
ing in the vicinity of Appleton was Wis.,
itiDg at the home of some of his friends
in this city, and one night, prior to
retiring, he stepped with his bare foot
upon bent pin lying on the floor, the
pin entering about quarter or an inch
into the ball of the foot. However, in a
little while he was free from any pain or
inconvenience from the accident; and,
on the following day returned to his
home. On Wednesday last his friend
received letter from him, stating that
a few days after his return home, the
wound in his foot, caused by the pin, began
to pain him, and pus began to run from
the wound. This continued for a few
days, and then, instead of pus running
from the wound, hard, round feshy sub
stance, about one-eighth of an inch in
diameter, and of pinkish white color,
began to grow from it, and so rapid was
its growth that within ten days it had
reached the length of two and quarter
inches; but that, aside from the incon-
venience in walking, it did not trouble
him any. The physicians in his neigh
borhood said the substance growing
from the wound was proud flesh. The
young man departed for Milwaukee on
on Wednesday night to have his foot at
tended to by surgeon in that CITY,
