American. March 2.
Leonard E. Spencer, of North Fen
ton, Broome county, while out haunting
squirrels in company with a friend on
the Sth of October last, met with sim
gular, and what proved to be fatal, &C
cident. The young man, his COM
panion, discharged his gun and it ex-
ploded, the tube and cylinder entering
Spencer's skull near the temple. Drs.
Burr, of Binghamton, and Greene, OF
Chenango Forks, somewhat enlarged
the external wound, and were able to
insert the index finger its whole length
into the cavity of the Uranium, but
were unable to find the fragment OF
the gun, although quite a quantity OF
brain matter exuded. They pro-
nounced him in a very critical con-
dition, but contrary to their expecta-
ton, his general condition improved
considerably, 30 that about the last OF
October he was able to be about, and
visited friend some distance from his
residence, but from over-exertion
brought on some bad symptoms. DIR.
B. L. Houghton, of this village, wa.
called the first of November, and was
able to give him some relief, and from
that time his general condition seemed
to improve until nearly the day of his
death, he being able to do some work,
even working on the ooh February,
his death occurring the following day.
Being anxious to know the real
condition of his brain, Doctor
Houghton was permitted, through the
the kindness of his friends, to hold an
autopsy, assisted by DR.. Carr, OF
Chenango Forks. The autopsy con.
firmed the previous conclusions, that
the cylinder and tube of the gun was
still in the wound, being found imbed.
ded in the brain substance inside of the
membranes and on the floor of the
middle fossa of the skull, nearest the
anterior portion. DR.. Houghton has
the cylinder and tube, which are con
nected in one piece. and also the brain
in his possession. How human being
could live four months and fourteen
days with piece of iron weighing
about three-quarters of an ounce IL
his brain, is mystery to us.

LOVES SLEEP.


Wen cover Love with roses,
And sweet sleep he shall take
None but a fool supposes
Love always keeps awake.
I've know loves without number
True loves were they and tried;
And. Just for want of slumber,
They pinned away and died.
Our love was bright and cheerful
4 little while ag0ne;
Now he is psle and fearful,
And-yes, I've seen him yawn.
30 tired he is of kisses
That he can only weep;
The one dear thing he misses
And longs for now is sleep.
We could not let him leave US
One time, he was so DEAR
But now it would not grieye rs
If he slept half a year.
For he has had his season,
Like the lily and the rose,
And it but stands to reason
That he should want repose.
We priced the smiling Cupid
Who made our days so bright;
But he has grown so stupid
We gladly say goodnight.
And if he wakens tender.
And fond, and fair as when
He filed our lips with splendor,
Well take him back again.
And should he never waken,
As that perchanee may be,
We viii not weep forsaken,
But sing, Love, tra-la-lee. J"

Nature intended that the art of healing, the
sustaining of animal life, the enjoyment of per-
feet health, and the road to longevity should be
searched for principally among the herbs and
vegetables of earth, and not one in thousand

poisons will find the panacea hoped for. Then

Statements SO outspoken as the above
and coming from such reliable source
are valuable beyond question. They con-
clusively show not only the power Of the
remedy which has become so we'll known
and popular, but the great importance o.
attention in time to the first indications
of declining health. When professional
men of such high standing sink their
prejudice and willingly declare their be-
lief in that which they know to be valu-
able, the public may confidently follow
their example.
