inviting as an occasional peach or

its charming influences. At the

A Peculiar Case.
A Man Loses Part OF his Brain and
is stil9 Able to Talk.

There was shocking accident at Barre
Wednesday. James Buchanan, fireman at
the paving stone quarry of the shop of the
Green Mountain Granite company, left his
quarry last Tuesday evening and went to
the adjoining one of James Collier, and
while standing about 80 feet from the
quarry, talking with the foreman, blast
was fired, filling the air with stones. Blu
chanan's companion called to him to keep
still, but he started to run and was hit in
the head by a fragment of granite. His
skull was fractured and he was made I'M
conscious. The strange part of the case
is that, although the physicians removed
eight ounces of brain and several pieces of
the skull from the wound, he recovered
consciousness that afternoon, talked plain
ly and sensibly, and the only difficulty no
ticeable was the complete paralysis of the
left side. The attending physician said
that Buchanan's return to consciousness
was an unexpected thing and if he should
recover it would be an unheard-of case in
the annals of surgery.
