Cured at St, Albans, VT. on Monday, says
the Messenger Of that place, A 3-year-old
child was by mistake, given dose of
morphine and was so affected by il as to
be apparently beyond help. DR.. Sherwood
was called, but TO all appearance the child
was dead, except that there was an almost
imperceptible beat of the heart. An ap-
picatioh ofelcctricity was made aud con-
tnued four hours, at the end of which
time reconciliation was complete and, the

Not an Exaggera.ion.

The charge having been made that last
evenings CRITICS account of the raid ON
the physicians attending the colored man
Harris was an eXaggeration, it may be
said that the account was based on a writ
ten statement made by one of the physi-
clans who was witness of the operation.
He expressly says that the family CON
scented and that the doctors "werc ardu-
ously engaged at work 80 when
they were stopped in the performance of
the operation by the appearance of a negro
mob that rushed in the room of the lick
man" No mention is made of the fact
that the mother objected, and the physi.
clan distinctly says that the operation had
been commenced

A Man With Four Ears.

One of the most attractive men OH the
streets of late, says the San Francisco
ErdWiHr, is John Henry Grines-not,
however, because he is particularly hand
some or that he has n wonderful figure,
yet the latter is large and wcll-propor-
toned and his face is far from being
homely, yet nature had been avishly cX-
trayagant in his makeup. Mr. Grimes
had two ears on either side of his head
Those in front are of ordinary size and
well formed. Those in the rear are smaller
and were partially overlapped by the ones
in front, yet they seem perfect in their
structure. Mr.. Grimes was born in Nova
Scotia and was 81 years of age. Many ply
sicians and scientific men have been puz-
zled at his extraordinary hearing facilities,
but could account no more than for other
defonnitics that came under their observa-
tons. He states that he has been sub
iected to many experiments, and that they
have demonstrated that he could hear
equally well with each of his ears, and,
with all four open, he was of the opinion,
rs were others who knew him, that he pos
sessed the most acute sense Of hearing
probably of any one living
