Miss Daisy PeTrin's sudden Restoration
from Consumption to Health.
Miss Daisy Perrin, beautiful girl l.
years old, living at S32 Hancock street,
Brooklyn, says a New York special Of
Sept. %, had been OK in bed eight weeks
and had been given up by the physicians,
when Capt. 5. w. Pendleton, of the steam
ship Gulf Stream, called on her on Thurs
day, accompanied by his.wife. He knelt
by her bedside, and for an hour prayed
fervently. with her. When he had fin
ished Miss Perrin was strong enough to
get up and walk, although for weeks he
fore She had been unable to move her
limbs. On Friday she went out and Wis
tied some friends, and yesterday she was
bright and cheerful.
Mr.. Perrin said to a reporter yesterday
that he and all the family had abandoned
hope Of his daughters recovery. Il know
they thought ! was going 20 die" Miss
Daisy said, "and felt it myself. When
Capt. PcudlctOn came in with his wife |
had just got over an attack Of cOnvul-
sIous. He said that / might be cured if

Mrs. PendlCtOn said that if he We're going
t. pray with me he had better do il at
once before more commissions came on.
Then the Captain kuelt down and prayed.
lt was not a set prayer, but one from the
heart. lie said to me, Pray not that you
will improve, bCt that your health will
return at once
Il said mamma aloud, and that was
the first that they knew that the prayer

the cure is that her voice, which was al
most gone, has returned fun and strong.

Of this place, by surgeons in the New

lowed a pin. with something wrapped
about its head, which he sucked in in
stead of pulled out Of his putty blower.
He suffered great agony. The pin stuck
out OF the reach Of the surgeons. All the
most pronounced skill in the State was
summoned TO try TO eXtricate tie pin. In
all. Is doctors tried their hand at It. They
all said the pin must stay there and The
boy die in consequence. He was taken TO
the New York hospital. The surgeons
there decided 10 cut open his throat. They
did so and kept him alive by inserting
silver pipe connection between his lungs
and head. They prObed for the pin, but
found that none of their instruments
would reach il. They sent to Philadel-
phia and had the necessary instruments
made, and kept the boy alive in the mean
time The instruments arrived and the
pin was taken out. With a day or two
more Of delay the boy would have died.
He arrived home to-day, lively as ever,
and suffering only with a slight cough.

The Home Ofthe Woman who was Frozen

In the centre of this beautiful manufac-
turing city, says a Waterbury Conn. 5
special Of sept. -. stands a handsome
mansion surrounded by spacious grounds.
Wide carriage drives and winding walks
approach it over broad. green terraces
and under interlacing foliage. Every
thing about il is arranged for comfort and
TO please TIE eye. The mansion is OF the
gothic style Of architecture. most popu-
lar ~ years ago, and has always been
looked on as one Of the finest dwellings IN
western Connecticut. As the city in
creased IN population il grew around this
place the value Of which was greatly in
creased by its central locality. But now
the place is looked upon with a sort of
fear, and people insfinctivelv shudder as
tneV pass u, dreading 10 look up into its
groves and lawns through fear Of seeing
some spirit Of evil. This fear has increased
since the last tragic event connected with
piace-the death Of its mistress. Miss Car

The house was first built by a wealthy

and he went in the stall to separate them.
His iayorite horse kicked him in the
breast, inhlcting wounds from which he
soon died, leaving no will.
The estate was divided between his wife
and only daughter, Carrie the house
going 10 the wife. Amity ruled until the
mother tried 10 get the daughter into an
insane asylum. The household was then
again broken up, and the house was left
70 ghosts. One Of the many freaks Of the
sprites IS the besmirching Of the door

like cOagulated blood, which reappears
every morning after being wiped Off.
Several families have attempted to reside
there since the WeltOns left. but soon
gave lt up, although not publicly assign
ing any reasons therefor. Mrs Welton
had returned to the mansion before going
to Europe, and the furnishings there now
belong 70 her, but the house is closed and
wears forbidden look. All sorts Of
stories are in circulation to-day about the
old mansion, one OF which was that the
daughter had been seen in the ward on
horseback at midnight. Although the
property was put in the market at a low
ngure, lt is impossible 20 sell il. as il is
hrmly believed that curse rests upon it..
