A IounG Lady With 400 Shots ,sntl Pieces of
Corset In Her Body Still Lives.
From the New York Herald.
There is at present every prospect of the
recovery Of Miss Melinda T. Jacobus, who
was shot by her lover at Peru, N. j., on the
25th of October last. It will be remem-
bered that John Fl. Wolfe. a young man
from Jersey city, who had for some time
been paying attention to Miss Jacobus,
called on her that day and playfully point
ed gun at her. She told him it was Load
ed, but he did not heed the warning, and
e charge q Fun shot vent n 2 hs 1i sSs Side
OF Miss Jacobus. The physicians who were
summoned pronounced the case necessarily
fatal, and did not even think that Miss
Jacobus would linger more than an hour or
two. Instead of that she is still alive, and
the case is attracting considerable attention
among the medical fraternity Of New Jersey.
The wound was about nine inches in diam
eter, but the greater portion Of this was
made by the powder ana stray shot. The
ori6ce was two and half inches long and
two inches wide. The tenth and eleventh
ribs were fractured, and portions of the
bone carried into the hody. The lung was
perfornted, the full charge striking the low
er portion of it and lacerating it
terribly. Besides the bones of the
ribs portions of the clothing and
corset-a part OF tie whale
bone of the latter-were shot into the
body, and. it is the opinion of the physi-
clans, clear through the lung. The gun was
loaded with charge of $50 duck shot, 50 that
still about 200 remain. None Of the pieces
of dress or whalebone have yet protruded.
For few days after the shooting the wound
discharged air from the lungs, which is
sued. with gurgling noise, but this las
ceased and the young lady is apparently
doing we'll. No signs ofpymmia have set
in and the wound is gradually closing up.
The dead flesh is sloughing Off and the
young lady's strength is aiding the healing
considerably. At first Wolfe visited Miss
Jacobus and insisted on her promising to
marry him, but she became so excited that
the physician prohibited Ter seeing him
again.

Winter Care OF fowls.

From the Country Gentleman.
In building hen house the requiremen
Of the fowls are always to be consideted;
these are warmth, light, fresh air, an earth

and allow of freedom; as hen will not do
we'll at laying unless she is contented.
Hence there must be space; not only
in ground surface for freedom
but height for better ventilation
as we'll, the windows so
arrainged, and of number and size, as to
admit copious air in summer. There are
needed in winter a row of low windows on
tho south side for light, doubling the sash
in winter; this is necessary for warmth, aud
does it effectually, as it forms dead air

out any bensft from the air. If the build
ing otherwise is well fortified against the
cold, aud double sash we'll fitted is used,
with dry earth floor, fowls will do well if
good breed for winter laying, like the
Asiatics, and we'll taken care If, the care to
be constant and required more in winter
than in summer. Fresh water must be
supplied, with a variety Of food, including
occasional feeds of vegetables ind meat of
some kind; corn being the principal grain,
affordipg heat as we'll as substance for eggs.
Managed in this way hens will keep in
good condition, remain healthy and free
from vermin; if the start is all right, build
ing, site, and fowls clean, end kept so
more by prevention than cure.
