The readers of the Times will remember
that iu October last, Jii;ie Niles Taylor, a
wealthy merchant living at Smethport, Pa.,
by noma mischance fell from a rear door of
his residence, some eighteen feet to the
ground breaking his back. It was gener
ally expend lie would die in a few days at
most, yet trange to s.y; he partially re
covered and is still alive, with a fair pros
pect of living many yWft' In conversing
with his son-in-law, "Clint." Young, of
Larabee, we leu "lie J many interesting fea
tures concerning Mr. Taylor's condition
which may not be uninteresting. His
fipinal column wan diRlncated a littta
above tho ceuler of its length. Until Dr.
Freeman ingeniously replaced it, he suff
ered great pain in the broken column.
Since then the paiu has ceased, but he
has no feeling of any kind below the frac
ture. His stomach is curiously affected,
porslou of its functions, or rather, its en
ergies, being destroyed so that even when
acting ou light food its operations are alow,
and to a ccrtaiu extent, uucertain. When
he partakes of stronger food than prepared
lnilkT gruel, as his appetite frcquenty
tempts him to do, despite of all, previous
experience, he suffers severe pain all
around that portion of his body above a line
acrosi and intersecting the point of injury.
In other words, so far as feeling and other
sensation are concerned, he seems to have
been literally broken in two parts, and while
one-third of his body is as thoroughly
aiive as ever, the lower two tbids are as
dead rs through burricd in the grave.
His mental faculties are as clear as even
and he dMy consults with his son and at
touey, and gives instructions concerting
his extensive business wMh tho same force
and shrewdness which' has ever character
ized his operations. He is keenly alive to
the novelty of his phenomenal existence,
an'i notes dud watches every variation in
his condition or sensation with interest and
forecasts ihe result with astonishing cer
tanty. He has considerable interest in the
Bradford oil district, being a partnof' with
Col. Wilcox iu the .well known Taylor &
Wilcox leases and wells; and we venture to
say there is no man who has a deeper in.
tcrest, or watches the developments, and
speculates more closely on the future of
the new district, than Niles Taylor. We
have heard ofiho operations of men "with
one foot in the grave," but here we have
an instance where both feot and limbs and
more than half the body are dead, beyond
recovery and would long since have been
buried in the grave, were it not for' the
enacity of that indomitably spirit which
clings to its seat and vitality in the little
portion which is left. Mr. Taylor feels
confident that in the coming spring a de
cided change, either, for better or worse,
will occur, and is making every prepara.
tion to be ready should it prove adverse.
Olcan Times.
We would inform Bro Gould of tho Cam
eron Co. Press that acting upon the sug
gestion in his last issue, we have endeav
ored to obtain -nuss" for Miller whilst
he is teething but con find no one willing to
undertake; the )ob; in ef ly to the other
suggestion, B M says be don't want to be
kissed by anybody, as be is out of the
business, and don't want his spit curls dis
turbed. But seriously Bro G it don't look
right to eee a grown up Atarlike you abuse
a ycuth like "Bantam" Miller, its too bad,
as much as we need money, and you know
from experience how much a hungry edi

We notice by tho Seniitn proceedings
thr;t Senator Boyer has read a bill in place,
authorizing tire Citizens of every ward,
borough, and iownship in, this Common
wealth tovole for one person for Assessor
and two persons for Assistant Assessors on
the third Tuesday of February, A. D. 1877,
and tri-ennially thereafter. The Assessor
so elected shall serve for three years. Any
vacancy occuring iu the meantime bhallbs
filled by thoCommfssioners of the proper
county. ihich appoiuteo shall servo out
the unexpired term of his predecessor. All
acts inconsistent herewith aro hereby re
pealed. We have not seen a copy of the bill, but
give the foregoing as the substance of the
one the Senator oll'erod. If this billpasses,
one-half of the grievances which the tax
payers now suffer and coinph'.irt of, will bo
removed, rt'ipe out the present system of
electing Assessors annually and, we will
have uniformity in values, if nothing,
more. Clearfield Republican.
