Mr. Wolkoviskie, OF this rTace, in
formed US few days ago Of quite o
remarkable occurrence which happen
ed to his little daughter, Tillie. He
says that about eight years ago, while
he was living at Rosehill, Sumter
County, his wife while engaged in sew
ing, broke needle and thoughtlessly
threw the head part on the floor, where
his two year old daughter, Tillie, was
playing; few minutes later she
thought OF her little child, and fearing
she might get hold of the broken nee
die, began to look for it-but in vain
A few days afterwards the little child
was seized with gripping pain in the
stomach, but aupposing she had col
ic' usual remedies for such were
applied; she got better and no more
was thought of the matter. About
ten days ago, Tillie, now about ter
years old, complained OF a pain in be,
arm, and upon it being barred, the up
per part of a broken needle, partly
rusty, was found projecting from the
flesh. Remembering the occurrence
of eight years ago, he at once account
ed for the needle being in her arm
Little Tillie must have swallowed ths
needle and after a period of eight
years it has just worked itself out.
