A REMARKABLE CAsE.-The medical
men in New Philadelphia, Ohio, are much
excited at the condition Of child, about
two years old, in the family of Joseph
Kinsley. In July last the limbs of the
child began 10 harden. Since that time
the hardness has increased, aud has spread
over its entire body The hands are drawn
shut, aud its limbs are so bent that il has
no use of them. The head, neck, arms
and loga arc now so hard that not the
slightest inden;ation can be made upon
them, nor could any petrifac,ion be harder.
The limbs Of the child seem bloOdless, aud
are cold as marble. IL has some appetite
aud at times tries to talk. A living pet
ri6ed child is considered curiosity with.

300 Lives Lost by the Falling Of Bridge

A bridge across the Firth of Tay, Scotland,
was blown down on Sunday night last whilst
train of cars was crossing There were
nearly three hundred passengers, besides EN-
ployees on the train, all Of whom were killed
or drowned.
A dispatch from Edinburgh says :-''ahe
portion Of the bridge which fell consisted OF
several large superintendent Orders at the
central aud Dayigable portion of the river,
which averages from 40 to I5 feet in depth.
The train fell about ss feet before reaching
the water. Its unknown whether the girders
were blown down before the train entered the
bridge or were carried away with il, and it
will probably never be ascertained, as there
are no survivors. The bridge was only
opened for traffic in May, 1878. 1t was con.
sidered triumph Of engineering skill. 1t
was about two miles long, and had 50 spans,
the widest of which was 245 feet At the
highest point it was 1870 feet above high
water
The train consisted of four third class cars,
one tirstcass and one second-class, and the
brakemen's van. At the last station before
entering the bridge the tickets were taken
and the train was then crowded. The entire
thirteen Orders of the long central spans Of
the bridge are gone. The night was one oil
bright moonlight, but the wind was blowing
a hurricane. The gap in the bridge is about
half mile long, comprising eleven of III,
longest spans, each 2i5 feet in length, and
one span Of li5 feet in length.
