body and limits became swollen, and she
was n great distress in her bowels. She
finally got better for a time, only to be
taken with another similar attack. AL
ternate periods of sickness and good
health have followed from that time TO
this, and she mas tried numberless physi-
cians, even being sent TO Massachusetts
General Hospita! at one time, but nobody
could understand her case or give her
relief. She gradually lost the use OF her
limbs, and had been given up as incura-
BILE. Last Monday she felt much worse,
and the pains in her bowels were worse
than ever. She was greatly relieved when
the bat passed away from her and has
since picked up rapidly in health. the
bat is now quite large one, measuring
from tip to tip about six inches. Its head
is the most peculiar feature about it, but
slightly resembling an ordinary bat in
that regard. 1t has a large mouth and
nostrils, which look more like those OF a
miniature rhinocerOs. The head is nearly
an inch IN length, from the lower jaw OF
which hangs several tufts OF long hair.
The eyes and nOstrils are very clearly
marked, as is also the snout. The rest of
the body is like bat, with hooked wings
and other characteristics. The animal is
still alive and very active. Mrs. Powers
has it confined in large fruit jar, and
has exhibited it to more than three hum
dred curious callers.
