The town of Chico, in Butte county,
Cal, is in a state of excitement over a
miracle so marvellous as to be almost
beyond belief The local papers have
given columns to the discussion of a
case that, with all reverence, might
justly be compared with the miracles
of old, for here is a man who was
blind and he sees, speeches. and he
talks. powerless to move and he walks
and works. Pronounced incurable nc
