f. Chile's financial management during
the war which she has SO successfully
,iwaged, has been admirable. She has
bought all needed war material, and paid
ell other expenses Incidental to raising
and removing her armies, and has only
found it necessary to issue only $25, 000,.
900 of additional paper money, and this
she is already preparing to take up. The
only. disagreable features of her cam.
paign have been the levying of forced
contributions on conquered towns. and
the license permitted her victorious
troops.

One of the strangest cases known in

One OF the strangest cases known in
medical history-in fact, there are but
about one half dozen such cases reported
in the world-has just been presented by
the Rev. Marcus Ormand of Pennsyl-
vania, who is among friends in Rushville.
He was, few months ago, among the
most elegant and profound expounders Of
the Gospel in the Presbyterian church,
and on returning to his town in Pennsyl.
vania one day he found that his house,
library and everything that he had had
been consumed by FIRE. A day or so
afterward he was stricken with brain
fever. He recovered his health, but his
memory was literally wiped out. His
Greek, Latin, and English were all gone.
He had no language, and didn't even
know his letters. His wife at once be-.
gan to teach him his letters, and he can
now read little. He seems to be cheer.
full and contented, lacking nothing but
what he once learned at school. He is,
in appearance, gentleman of intelli.
gence. He. hopes to again get back to
where he jumped off SO suddenly.

The CNDERHILL SUIcIDE.-It scems that
the correspondent at Underhill who furnish
ed us with an account of the recent suicide
at that place fell into some inaccuracies.
The real facts in the case were as follows :
Fred f. Collins, twenty-three years old and
married, was the son Of the Rev. Mr.. Collins,
Baptist clergyman who settled in Underhll
last Spring, coming from Dickinson, n Y.
The young man did not so to Underhill unit
last Christmas, when he obtained employment
in the store of Mr.. ID. l.. Terrill and quickly
by his ability and fathfulness. Last Friday
Mr.. Terrill WAS out of the store and on his
return in the evening was surprised and
shocked to See young Collins very much I'M
der the influence of liquor-w which, it seems,
he hai obtained in the shape of some alcohol
kept in the store for use in medicinal pre-
parati"nS. After good deal of persuasion
he allowed himself 10 be taken home In the
morning he went TO the store, a. usual, took
from the show ease II revolver, loaded it,
went 10 the desk and wrote few lines To
his family, and then stepped before the
looking glass and shot himself directly in the
centre of the forehead, death being insian-
taneOus. One or two persons were in the
place nj the time, hut until the report of
the revolver paid no attention TO the young
mans movements, surprising he was merely
putting the store TO rights, rs usual. In his
letter Collins asked his family's forgiveness
Of the act which he was about to commit,
but said that he could not stand up under the
disgrace of what he had done and closed
with few words of affection. Collins was
married, as before stated, but had no chil
