Curious Case-A Baby with a Bullet in
 Its Head.

Its Head.
 MATTEwAN, July 2S-On the 10th of June the two-year- old child of Ernest Poyette, of this place, was shot in the head. The little one was sleeping in it's cradle, when a ball from a pistol fired 200 feet away passed through wooden partition and into the child's head on the right side near the fore. head. Dr. John P. Schenck tried to find the ball, but did not succeed, and the next day the baby was taken to the Highland hospital. Here three skillful physicians, Drs. Schenck, Slack and Dougherty, tried to remove the ball, but in vain. It had passed through the bone and lodged somewhere in the skull Four days after the shot was fired the child had terrible convulsions, lasting four hours and when these ceased 1t was observed that it's left side was paralyzed. These convul. sions continued eight days, then ceased, and now this tough little specimen of humanity is getting well. Its wind is apparently as good as ever. It talks and eats heartily, but the left side is still totally paralyzed.

How NIcPherson Died.

From the Eittsburg Telegraph
 Generals McPherson and Logan, who had
 been to General Sherman's headauarters (before Atlanta), rode up to the rear of tie Seventh Corps and dismounted in a clump of trees in front of an open stretch, which had probably been field at one time This was about 10 o'clock. Shortly after they had dismounted picket firing began on the left and apparently to the rear of the main line
 After listening to it for few minutes Nc Pherson said he would go out in that direc- tion and see what it meant. Calling to Cap tain Klburn Knox of his staff to follow he mounted ''Blackie," his favorite horse. and gaIloped down the lane or narrow road, run ming in the rear of the Seventeenth Corps
 at an angle of forty-fve degrees from the main line. toward the point where the firing was heard. General Dodge, commanding the Sixteenth Corps had been ordered the left with instructions to form at right angle with General Blair's line, but he had not had time to get into position, consequently the firing could not be on his skirmish line, which led to the conclusion that something unusual was going on. Hoods tactics being we'll known to McPherson, he was on the lookout for dashes, hence his anxiety. It was not more than fifteen minutes after McPkerson and Knox, accompanied by their orderlies, had dashed down the lane until ''Blackie, " the Generals horse, galloped back with awound In the shoulder, from which the blood was pouring in perfect stream. The cry was instantly raised that ''The General has been shot" Closely following the horse came Captain Knox and the two orderlies. Knox dashed up in an excited manner and exclaim- ed, ''He is dead. Get an ambulance quick" General William E. Strong, now of Chicago. and Captain D. H. Buell., ordnance officer, started at once with the headquarters ambu- lance down the lane, followed by several of the mounted men. Buell. rode ahead and skirmished with the rebel pickets. keeping them back until General Strong had got the body into the ambulance. They drove back with all speed to where General Logan and the officers were. Dr. Hewitt hastily opened his coat and discovered that the bullet had passed directly through the heart, killing him instantly. The body was taken at once to General Shermans headquarters, from where 1t was sent, in charge of General McPherson's | personal staff, to Marietta, where it was em- balmed and sent, with the same escort, to the | home of his aged mother at Clyde Ohio.
 Captain Knox, who accompanied the | General, said they had gone but short dis | tance down the land until a shot was fired | der of the Generals horse. They refined up, | fired and the General fell heavily to the l ground. He neither spoke or moved a mus cle. After the fatal shot several skirmishers | made their appearance, one of whom rushed | up and took off the Generals waist belt. As | soon as he had retired a member of the l Union Pioneer Corps ran up and rifed the l Generals pockets, taking pocketbook con | taining about $70O.

 The Sums Heat and Color.
 SAN FRANCISCO, July 2S.-The party form ing Prof. Langley's expedition for the deter imitation of the heating power and color of the sun left for Mojave to-day. From this point the journey to Mount Whitney must be made by wagons and mules across weari- some stretch of hot and alkaline desert where water is an almost unknown blessing. Two sergeants of the signal service corps and guard of six soldiers have been added in San Francisco, increasing the number of the party to 12 persons. Although the ap- paratus and stores exceed 5000 pounds in weight it is with little instrument an inch in diameter and weighing less than half an ounce that the main work of the expedition is to be done. The instrument, invented by Prof. Langley, and called by him the ''bolo- meter,'' is sufficiently sensitive to measure the heat of an approximately homogeneous ray in the solar spectrum. The principle of the boiometer depends upon the fact that wire or conductor will vary in it's power of transmitting current of electricity when it's temperature changes.

The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 18??-1882, 1881-11-25

The "wreck register" of Great Brit.
ain shows that during the year 1880
there were 2,519 wrecks, in which 3
1873 vessels were involved. There were
603 collisions; of these 4S were between
steamships, both under way; 181 be-
tween sailing vessels under way, and
164 between steam and sailing vessels,
both under way. The loss of life was
231. The National Lifeboat Institu-
ton saved 1928 lives. There were
casualties and wrecks to 329 ships from
z to IA years of age, and to $50 from
Is to 80 years old; 81 of the ships were
between so and 60 years old, 20 from
60 to 20, z from 20 to 80, 5 from 80 to
80. and two of the "wooden walls of
Old England" were over 100 years old
--centenarians-and then falling Ia
the midst of their work. The aggre-
gate number of shipwrecks in the last
26 years on the English coast amounts
to 51,841. with total loss of life of
1850 men--a total nearly equal to the
number of men who man the British
fleet to-day. During the same period
the National Lifeboat Institution has
been the means of saving l8, 1876 lives.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 18??-1882, 1881-11-25
The Law of Finding.

The law of finding Is this: The
finder has clear title against the
whole world except the owner. The
proprietor of a railroad Car, coach, or
shop, has no right to the property
which may be found on his premises.
Such proprietors may make regulations
in regard to lost property which will
bind their employees, but they cannot
bind the public.
The law Of finding was declared by
the Kings Bench 100 years ago, in a
case in which the facts were these: A
person found a wallet containing sum
of money on shop-door. He handed
the wallet and contents to the shop
keeper to be returned to the owner.
After three years, during which the
owner did not call for his property, the
finder demanded the wallet from the
shop-keeper. The latter refused to de-
liver them upon the grounds that they
were found on his premises. The
former then sued the shopkeeper, and
it was held as above set forth, that
against all the world but the owner
the title of the finder is perfect. And
the finder has been held to stand in the
place of the owner, so that he was per-
mitted to prevail in an action against
person who found an article which
the plaintiff had originally found, but
subsequently lost.
The police have no special rights in
regard to articles lost unless those
rights are conferred by statute. Re-
ceivers of articles found are trustees for
the owner or for the finder. They
have no power in the absence of special
statute to keep an article against the
finder any more than the finder has ia
! retain an article against. the owner.
