A Phenomenal Boy.

A Georgia paper says there is a
boy in Putnam county, a son OF
Jefferson Lee, ten years OF age,
who, owing to the peculiar nature
of his skin, has never been known
to sweat q drop of perspiration IN
his life. Another phenomenal
feature connected with the boy is
that he has only four teeth, and he
had these when born, having
neither cut nor shed any since his
birth. He is very much affected by
the seasons. In the summer he
gets exceedingly warm, and is com
PEELED, in order to live at all, to
keep his head and body wet with
cold water, and falls of to almost
a skeleton, but when winter comes
and cold weather sets in, he is en-
abled to dispense with his bath and
grows fat. He is said to be a
sprightly boy, with plenty of sense.

be done to the celery except to

as will be directed at the proper
time.
