AFuSGUs HAND.
The Curious Growth that Sprung up Where
Human Hand had been Buried


The last OF May, 1882, Simon Snyder,
who was working in a .planing-mill
at Portsmouth, o., bad his hand so
badly lacerated in the machinery that
amputation was necessary. There Is
nothing uncommon about that, hut
hold your breath minute. The
hand was buried in Mr.. Snyder's gar
den. Two weeks after, upon the
mound which the little two-year-old
daughter of the injured man had made
over the severed hand, grew small,
funpus-like plant in the exact shape
of a human hand. The Portsmouth
20. Blade of June 10 called attention
to the wonder and gave full descrip-
ton OF it. Hundreds Of citizens Wis
tied Mr.. Snyder to see this freak of
nature. All were interested. Those
who tried to understand it were mys-
titled, and the superstitious were sure
it was some portent of evil. Mr.. and
Mrs. Snyder removed to Conesville,
Louisa county, Iowa, two months ago,
and brought the fingers with them,
preserved in alcohol. Mr.. G.. Il. Har-
rison ofthe Brady street pharmacy,
was at Conesvile last week, and
brought the curiosity to Davenport.
Mr.. Harrison tried to prevail upon
Mrs. Sdyder to give it to the Academy
OF Sciences, but she has not yet con-
sented. The firgers are of dark-brown
color; the thumb and fingers approach
nearly to exact form, and perhaps the
queerest part of it is that the fore fin
ger is shorter than it should be. Mr..
Snyder lost the forefinger of that hand
two years before the amputation. The
little finger.was broken offby accident,
and shows that the inside of the fin
ger is white. Cases are on record
where roots and vegetable growth
have taken the place aud shape of
buried objects ofperishable nature by
absorption and growth contemporary
eous with decay, but this was an eX-
terror development. Davenport IoWd

A Gcorria Woman,s Nerve.
Henry County Weekly.

A Spaulding county lady, living I'm
the vicinity of Double Cabins, went
out one morning recently to gather
flowers, and while bending over q bush
her hand came In contact with inoc-
casin snake, whick lay coiled UP under
the leaves. Simultaneous with the
discovery, and before she could remove
her hand, the snake ran up the sleeve
OF her dress and protruded its head
from small rent in the garment Just
below the shoulder. Quick rs thought
she grasped it by the neck and held it
securely until she could summon her
husband to her aid, who soon dis
patched the reptile.
