4 Remarkable Case.

.
An accident occurred on Monday at Ramey,
most extraordinary cases ever recorded in the
history Of surgery or medical jurisprudence.
James Gaupell, a French Canadian employed
at Ramey's mill, fell from q 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 DR.. 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 a muslin bandage three
inches wide was wrapped tightly around the
neck, and to it were attached two Tugs, one on
either side. To these 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 it were placed various
weights, SO that the patient can adjust the con-
trivance as occasion may require by simply
reaching to the bucket and removing or adding
one or two weights. He remains in a 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.-PitsburQh

What a Little Girl Did.

AWAY back in the widest part of this
county, among the mountains and forests of
the sparsely settled town of Hardeuburg, a
place it takes a week to communicate with,
not far from the little hamlet of Inverwood,
and near the place where Rev. ]. O. Beecher,
a brother Of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
breaches, lives little Nellie Osborn, a 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 suterings of her parents in every way. It
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 playthings and tried to keep the Ore
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 us"
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 afterwafd. assistance has now
been offered by a charitable lady Of 1rvington,
whose sympathy was excited by the chiids
sacrifice OF her toys.--KinVston IN. r. Letter.

The ways of some prOfessed "religious"
newspapers are mysterious and past find
ing out. There is Henry c. Bowen's
New York Independent, Which is quite a
we'll established commercial, religious
and literary journal, and takes an active
interest in every class of public subjects
that come within this range. and gen.
orally has very decided editorial opinions
upon them. 1t has been the boast of this
merchant publisher and editor that he
sold his goods and not his opinions, but
from time to time facts have come to
light very damaging to his reputation
and that of his paper. The great zeal
which it displayed in getting preachers
to invest in Northern Pacific railroad
stock has been fully explained by the dis
closure that he was paid for it, and
its financial opinions have merited and
received little popular confidence since
this discovery. For the past few years
it has devoted great deal of attention
to the insurance business, attacking some
special companies with most inexplicable
bitterness. The discovery that shaky
company in New YOrk-which was not
hurt by these criticisms-had made a
loan" to him of 5000, on which he paid
no interest, and which he repudiates as
a loan may throw great light on the
motive of the insurance editorials of
the Independent.

was the largest that has witnessed game
of ball in this city for years, and rope

on the part of each club and there was
some which was bad, there being consider:
able wild throwing. 1t will be seen that
