A Remarkable Case.

AN accident occurred on Monday at Ramcy
Clarion County, which proved to be one of the
most extraordinary cases ever recorded in the
history of surgery or medical Jurisprudence.
James Gaupel a French Canadian employed
ut Rameys mill, fell from trestle about
twelve feet to the ground. After recover
ing from the shock resulting from the fall. he
was unable to move his head, and DIR. Ed
wards, attending physician, discovered that
the neck was dislocated and some of the
bones broken; but it was evident that the
spinal column had not been severed. The
doctor reset and put the fractured neck
in position, and set about devising means
to put it in place until the broken bones
and confused ligaments attain their normal
condition. To this end muslin bandage three
inches wide was wrapped tightly around the
neck, and to 1t were attached two Tugs. one on
either side. To these a rope was fastened and
run over pulley fixed to the ceiling of the
room. A bucket was suspended on the other
end of the rope and in IL were placed various
weights, SO that the patient can adjust the con-
trivance occasion may require by simply
reaching to- the bucket and removing or adding
one or two weights. He remains in sitting
posture, and should any slight change OF posi-
ton occur, the tension of the rope will still
support the weight of the head. With these
appliances for his support, the unfortunate
man will have to remain practically In the
same position until the injured parts become
united or death ends the case.-Putsburph

What q Little Girl Did.

AWAY back I'm the widest part of this
county, among the mountains and forests of
the sparsey settled town of Hardcnburg, a
place IL takes week to communicate with,
not far from the little hamlet of Inverwood.
and near the place where Rev. ]. G. Beechcr,
a brother of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
breaches, lives little Nellie Osborn, child of
six years. Her father and mother were both
suddenly stricken with fever, being unable
to leave their beds. Living In an isolated
place, far from neighbors, and being
scantily supplied with the necessaries OF
life at this severe and Indictment season,
with snow lying three or four feet deep
everywhere, the situation may be imagined.
Little Nellie did all she could to alleviate
the suIerings of her parents in every way. IL
was bitter cold, their rude little house offered
poor resistance to the winds, the bed-covering
was not abundant, and the supply OF fire-wood
finally gave out. The little girl took her
wooden playthinQs and tried to keep the Gre
going with them. Then she kneeled by the
couch of her sick mother and prayed: Please.
dear Lord, send a big, good man to help u.s.
Help came in the person of James McGavitt,
a lumberman Of the mountains, who found
the family in the condition stated, and afforded
prompt relief. Little Nellie became sick with
the fever afterward. Assistance has now
been offered by a charitable lady OF Irvington,
whose sympathy was excited by the child's
sacrifice of her Disqualification IN. ~ Letter.

A GENTLEMAN who recently had &C.
casion to explore the chambers. drifts
and caverns OF the old deserted Mexican
and Ophir mines says that fungi of ev-
cry imaginable kind have taken posses
sion Of the old levels. In these old
mines, uudisturbed for years. Is found n
fungus world in which are tn be seen
counterfeits of almost everything seen
in our daylight world. Owing To the
warmth Of the old levels and TO the pres =
ence in them Of a certain amount 81
moisture, the timbers have been made
TO grow some curious crops. Some of
the fungi In the old chambers are sew
eral feet in height, and, being snow
white, resemble sheeted7 ghosts. In
places are what ut a little distance APP
pear to be white owls. aud there are
representations of goats with long
boards, all as white Is though carved In
the, purest marble. The rank fungus
growth has almost closed some of the
drifts. The fungi are of almost every
imaginable variety. Some kinds hang
down from the timbers like great
punches of snow-white hair ami others
are great pulpy masses. These last gem
orally rise from the rock forming the
floor of the drifts and seem to have grown
from something dropped or spilled on tho
ground at the time work was In progress
years ago. These growths have in sew
eral places raised from the ground rocks
weighing from ten to fifty and even one
hundred pounds. Some of the rocks
have thus been lifted more than three
feet. In the higher levels, where the air
is comparatively dry, the fungi are less
massive in structure than below and arc
much firmer in texture. Some resemble
rams horns, as they grow In spiral or
twisted shape, while others, four or FIVE
feet in length and about the thickness OF
