Recovery from a Broken Neck.

There is a remarkable case of a
broken neck being successfully set
and the patient showing every sign
of recovery at the Post Graduate Hos
pital, New York. TIE case is that
of Miss Abbie McCully, whose neck
was broken by fall from ahammock.
Anxious to resort to every expedient
to save his daughters life Mr.. Nc
Gully decided to send her to the Post
Graduate Hospital in this city, and
the girl was taken there in an ambu-
lance in charge of physician. Oxy-
gen was administered at frequent in
tervals to sustain her until she reach
ed the hospital. Immediately upon
her arrival there she was placed upon
the operating table and the delicate
and dangerous operation of removing
the broken vertebra was performed
by DR.. w. 0. Plympton in the pres
ence of Professors Dana and Kelsey
1t was discovered that the shattered
vertebra was pressing against the
spinal cord. Every particle of the
broken bone was removed and then
her neck was bandaged. All this
time the girl had been under the in
fuence of an an9sthetic. Soon after
ward she showed signs ofconsciousness
and it was not long before she entire
ly regained consciousness. The oper-
alton was a complete success, and
Miss McCully has remained at the
hospital under the care of the doctor
and is rapidly recovering so that in a
month it is hoped that she may be
able to leave the building. The doc
tors are hopeful of her complete re-
recovery, although they think she
will always have stiff neck.

PROSPERITY IN EUROPE.

Ion. Chauncey Depew, of New
York, has just returned from Europe
and in an interview said:
Both in England and on the con-
tinent there is prosperity and album
dance, unknown for years.
There is food for thought in that
short sentence. prosperity and
abundance" in Europe; but depress-
ion and poverty in this country.
Such was not the case until the peo-
pie lost their reason and turned the
government over to the Democrats.
Formerly the rule was prosperity
and abundance in America. The
mad search OF Mr.. Cleveland and his
satellite, VIM. L. Wilson, for the mar
kets Of the world has brought us ruin.
With gold flowing out of the country
at the rate of million a day, times
cannot improve here. And so long
as tie tariff wall is down just so long
will people purchase abroad, and pur-
chasing abroad, they must have gold
with which TO pay their bills.
The foreigner instead of trading
his wares for our wheat and corn and
cotton and meat takes gold and buys
his supplies when they can be had
for the least money. 1t is bad sys-
TEN and must be remedied.

4 Curious Fruit Said to BE Peculiar to
the State of Wooden Nutmegs.

y curious Fruit said TO lie feculiaf TO
the State of Wooden Nutmegs.
Farmer I. B. Crandall Of Bozrah, six
miles west of this city, came to town
recently with five quarts Of albino hue
kleberries, which he readily sold for
round price to merchants and others
who fancy freaks of nature. Mr.. Gran
dall's fruit was the finest sample of
white huckleberries ever seen in Nor
witch. The berries were all large, hard,
firm of texture, sweet and luscious and
about as white as milk. Albino berries
are extremely rare-in fact, about as
skeerce as hens teeth" said Mr.. Gram
dali, after he had pocketed 30 cents a
box for some of the fruit.
There are not more than half dozen
places in Connecticut, probably, where
they grow, and it is not known that
they grow in any other state. There is
a patch of albino bearing bushes in the
billy town of Salem, which adjoins Boz
rah; another in Hartford county, a
third in Windham county, and there are
two or three more in different parts of
the state. The Salem albinos cluster
about the apex of a wind swept, treeless
knoll in the middle of heavy wood,
and the whole plot is not more than IS
or 20 feet i'll diameter By many persons
it is believed that the berries are not al
binos, but a distinct species of whortle-
berries, since they never mix CT ANAL
gamate with the common black buckle
berry. Neither are they greatly disposed
to propagate themselves or spread GU
new ground. All the widely separated
plots are of about the same dimensions,
while in the case of the Salem patch it
is known to be of inst about the same
size now as 100 years ago. In most re-
spects the albinos differ not at all from
the black berries except in color, al
though some country people affirm that
when fully ripe they are trif1e sweet
er, with more decided flavor. Like all
albinos, whether of the animal or vege-
table world, they are irradiated with
faint pink hue, seemingly from light
glowing within the rind, which is as
beautiful as it is curious. Most of the
albino patches yield not more than
quart of berries each.-Norwich (Conn.

for the October number of the Forum
an article entitled 1.-The Present
Condition of the Silver Question in

there are no more advocates of the

we could have rest for so years; but it

Odds and Ends and Bits Of Gossip
Heard Here and There.

The city council has two cases on the
docket as lawyers would say which need
to be handled with great care. One is
the streets and the other is the water
supply. As the latter is most important
the one thing in which all Of the peo-
pie are interested--it is no more than
natural that all should be liberal with
advice as all expect to partake freely Of
that which is provided.
Coming down to actual facts there is
question whether anything is necessa-
ry to be done. The supply has been am
pie so far. That it may continue to be for
years to come appears to be the motive
which actuates the council in searching
for other springs.
No fault is found with the quality of
water now in use except that it occa-
sionally becomes 'sri)ed." What is the
cause or whence comes the mud which
causes the occasional amber hue is dis
puted point. Some say the water af-
forded by the upper spring comes from
the Snodgrass spring and that when it
becomes muddy all that is necessary
is for the muddy water to flow through
the creyice until it appears again below.
This theory seems reasonable, but there
is another. and in our opinion quite
plausible, that the muddy water comes
from the quarry.
