ACLERGyMAN LcsEs HIS EDrcATioN.-
of the strangest cases known in medical his
tory-in fact, there are but about one half
dozen such cases reported in the world-has
Just been presented by the Rev. Marcus Or
mond of Pennsylvania. who is among friends
in Rushville, Ohio. He was, few months
ago, among the most eloquent and profound
expounders of the Gospel in the Presbyterian
Church, and on returning to his town in
Pennsylvania one day he found that his
house, library, and everything he had had
been consumed by fire. A day or SO after
ward 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 began to teach him the alphabet, and
he can now read little. lie seems to be
cheerful and contented, lacking nothing but
what he once learned at school. He is, in
appearance, gentleman of intelligence. He
hopes to again get back to vhere he jumped
off so suddenly.

Two Young Ladies Killed While GoastingY

Accidents while coasting with sleds have
become so common in Schuykill county, Pa,
that hardly day passes without one or more
gases, more or less serious in character, are
recorded Last week, in Minersville, six
persons had limbs broken whilst coastng IN
the heart of the town. But Ashland has had
the most terrible calamity OF the KIND this
winter On Sunday afternoon young man
undertook to steer three young ladies' down @
steep hill on sled. When halfway down DOW,
he saw Il horse and sleigh coming up the hill.
| Thinking if he jumped the other occupants
would follow his example, he left the sled,
but the girls were too affrighted to save them
selves in that way, and were carried down the
hill at a frightful rate Of speed. They sue
ceeded in avoiding the horse and sleigh, but
dashed against q telegraph pole with great
force. One of the girls, Miss Carduff was
thrown so violently against the pole that the
top of her skull was crushed causing instant
death, and another, Honora Doherty, received
such internal injuries that she died Monday.
OTHER CoAsTING ACCIDENTS.
On Saturday Frank Klaber of Milburn was
E;lled while coasting on Monday little Pho-
be Brown of Union Hill was injured on the
same day gisI and boy at Weehawken were
badly bruised, and on Sunday Jersey City
boy suffered injuries that will last him all WIN
ter. The New England newspapers give aal-
ly accounts Of accidents to coastng parties,
from historic Boston Common to the wilds of
Maine.
Five lads, while coasting at Paterson, \.
j., Monday night, accidentally ran their sled
against telegraph pole at the foot Of the
hill, shivering the vehicle to splinters, and all
the boys were more or less injured. Frank
Harris had his nose broken and driven into
his face, also his jaw bone broken, the i'm
print of every tooth in the upper jaw being
left in the telegraph pole. John Acker had
an arp broken, and was severel y injured in
the groin. Alfred DehoPe had his right
thigh fractured ana his leg broken below the
knee, and also received 9 probable fatal
wound in the groin. Jerry Dehope, bis
brother, had his nose broken and was badly
wounded in the groin. James Smith vas
picked up unconscious, but was least injured
of any.

Sharon to represent, in part, that State in
the United States Senate. Mr. Sharon 5
term expires next March, and he has been
of little service to his constituency during
his incumbency. His record to date shows
shat he has been in the Senate 50 days all
told; he never made speech, participated
in debate nor introduced bill, and only
presented four petitions. For this enor-
nous service he has received nearly $780,
900 and considerable sumas mileage.

season he has increased it to enormous
proportions. One Of the mosJ grand,
novel aud exciting features added being a
magnificent Paris hippodrome, with o
race track, completely encircling three
circus rings, forty feet wide and nearly a
halfmilc round, employing over two hun.
drcd artists and tribe of Indians. Coup
has grand menageric besides, and uses
nine bands Of music. His museum is also
splendid, requiring dozen engines to op.
crate the different features.
Both in the three circuses and hippo
drome, many Of the acts are entirely new,
and are the theme of universal admiration
and praise by the public and the press
Among these are the Indians. the Zulus,
the flying Lu Lu, the dashing Geraldine,
etc., whose wonderful feats and perform.
ances have no parallel 10 the annals Of the
stage or ring. AS an evidence Of the es.
timation in which Coup's show is held by
the press, VIC give the following brief ex>
tracts
"W. G. Coup's mammoth Touring
circus, menagerie and Paris hippodrome,
arrived in this city yesterday on three i'm
mcnse trains, to each Of which we're at
tached two locomotives, the combined
length of the the several trains was nearly
q full mile. y x Perfectly i'm
