A STRANGE CASE. Out at Spring Val
ley recently number of men went out
rifle shooting, and one of them, Charles
Bell, went to shoot at bird on q post
some distance off. He brought the rifle
up to his shoulder to shoot, but every
thing appeared dark. Thinking that
something got over his eye, he lowered
the gun and wiped the optic with hand
kerchief, then again went to shoot, but
he could see nothing. He then shut the
eye with which he was sighting and
opened the other, and could see perfectly,
but the other eye is completely blind.
Nothing appears to be the matter with
the eye, it looks as it always did, except
that he cannot see with it. He has never
felt any pain about the optic either before
or after the sudden blindness and does
not know what to make of it. DR.. Phil
son has examined the eye but was unable
to detect any thing wrong about the
optic. Bell contemplatcs going East
shortly for the purpose Of placing himself
under the charge of an optician.
