A lady residing near Cleveland, o.,
died short time ago from an unknown
disease, which greatly puzzled the at
tending physicians, the symptoms be-
ing similar 70 those experienced in rheu-
matism Of the heart. After her long
suffering ended in death, post-mortem
examination revealed one OF most won
derful things known to the medical
profession. A large burdock burr was
found securely imbedded in the heart,
against the posterior surface of the
aorta, Just at the point where it
energies from the body Of the heart
completely covered with cystic-like tis-
sue which had firmly enveloped all the
large blood-vessels leading TO and from
the heart, which organ was in high
state OF inflammation, the left ventricle
being greatly enlarged. A feature which
greatly puzzles the doctors is the fact
tina. the large aorta about three inches
from the heart IL found to be worn a
thin rs tissue-paper for about the space
Of an inch, only the outer covering Of
the large artery remaining. This is sup
posed % have been produced by the
close proximity Of the burr in its passage
towards the heart. The specimen was
forwarded to the Museum Of the Ben
nett Medical College, Of this city, and
has been inspected BY a large number Of
leading physicians, who unite in pro-
nouncing II one of the most extraor-
dinary cases on record. Yesterday 4
Tribune reporter happened in at the Of
fee Of DIR. w. II. Davis, corner Of State
and Madison Streets, while several
physicians were examining this medical
wonder. Prof. Davis and others are Of
the opinion that the burr must have
been oreathed into the lungs while the
woman was child, as she has been a
great sufferer for number Of years, dur
ing which time the burr was migrating
from the bronchial tubes through the
tissues TO its final lodging-placc. - chi

Amputated, but Troublesome.

Nearly week has elapsed since the
readers Of the Democrat were informed
through its columns Of the painful and
serious accident which bafel Mr.. Dick
Boaz, from the effects Of which he lost
the lower portion Of his left arm BY am
putation. The surgical operation was
performed by Drs. Ansell anc Burts,
who made very neat and satisfactory
"job" Of il. The next day following
the accident, some one or two members
of the family took the arm, or that por-
ton Of it which was amputated, and
buried il about two feet deep above the
last resting-place Of one Of his little
children. Not long after the arm was
buried, Mr.. Boaz commenced TO COM
plain Of experiencing cold, chilly feel
ing in his left arm. II seemed TO him
as though he still had it. His COM
plants became so constant and bitter
that il actually alarmed his attendants,
knowing well that the object Of his com
plant was buried beneath the ground.
Finally, Boaz could stand il no longer,
the cold in his missing hand and wrist
became so intense that he inquired what
they had done with 1t. They informed
him that il was buried. He ordered
them to dig it up Immediately and bring
it in the house.
IL was done, and bottle Of alcohol
was prepared for its receptacle. As
soon as the missing member was ex-
humed and brought into the house, the
cold which had nearly driven him wild
disappeared, but pretty soon he COM
planned Of feeling As though his hand
and fingers were cramped, when he
source OF the complaint was traced TO
the fact that the alcohol bottle, in which
the hand and arm was contained, was
too small, and nccessitated the turning
in Of the fingers and closing them in
toward the palm Of the hand. II proved
10 be very annoying and made him so
restless that his folks were compelled to
send in yesterday and purchase largo
bottle into which the arm and hand can
be placed without crampiHg.
This Is one Of the strange freaks Of
nature, instances OF which have been
cited in medical journals, but none ever
came under the notice Of the writer be-
fore.--For Worth (Tsras) Democrat.

continuously held.

At the last meeting OF the St. Louis
Academy of Sciences, Professor Nipher
made brief report on the earthquake
OF November Is, 1878. The shock Of
this earthquake was felt over an area Of
fully 1900 square miles. The region
disturbed forms an ellipse, the major
axis Of which extends from Leavenworth,
Kan, to Tuscaloosa, Ala, distance u
over 600 miles The minor axis extends
from near Clarksville, Ala, to point
midway between Cairo, Ill, and St.
Louis, distance OF 800 miles. The
southern boundary Of this region has
not been deter mined with great accuracy.
The region Of greatest disturbance was
along the Mississippi, Cairo to Memphis.
Here the shocks were universally felt.
The walls Of buildings could be seen to
move, and strong frame buildings
creaked as when every joint Is strained
by a heavy wind. At Ironton the shock
was also so severe as to alarm some
who lived in brick houses. Along the
Missouri, from Glasgow TO Lexington,
the shock was also severe, awakening
many families, who thought heavy
Aind-storm was in progress. IL appears
that the shock was first felt at Glasgow
llh. 23m. p. IN. (St. Louis time). The
shock travelled rapidly down the axis Of
the ellipse, reaching Cairo at llh. 4sm.,
and Memphis at 1lh. Som. At Little
Rock, Ark, the shock was also distinct
lively felt, although not observed at
Clarksville, thirty-five miles further up
the river.
