We find the following in an exchange
paper: "In 1859, Mr., K a prosperous busi
ness man of St. Louis, captured a' thief in
his sleeping apartment. The culprit pleaded
so hard for release that Mr. K. set him at
liberty, on a promise 1, 1 good behavior, giving
him some rnoriby besides In 1860. Mr. 1<
failed in bUsinese and became a clerk at a
moderate salary. Passing the pat-office a
short time since, K., who was very shabbily
attired, was accosted by an eletzautly dress
ed, jeweled individual, with "flow do you
do, Mr. K.? Glad to see you! Still in busi
ness on Main street?" K vainly endeavor
ing to remember the stranger, replied that
he was not in business, in fact, was hunting
a situation. Stranser said, "Please walk
With me a short distance " The two re
paired to a hotel, where the stranger intro
duced himself as the repentant thief. He
forced K.. to accept a loan of t;IC,C,OO, with
which to reaoturactice business. iic said
that during the war he had made large sums
of money, and he had long desired to express
his gratitude to K. in sonic substantial man
ner."
COLD IN SPITZENPERGEN.—No descrip

rigor of the six months winter of this part
of the wourid. Stones crack with the noise
of thunder; in a crowded hut the breath of
the occupant:: rill fall in hakes of snow• wine
and spirits turn to ice ; snow burns like
:caustic; if i:on, touches the skin it brings
'the flesh away with it; the soles of your
stocking may be burnt off your feet before
you feel the slightest warmth from the fire;
linen taken out of boiling water instantly
stiffens to the consistency of a wooden board,
and heated stones will not prevent the sheets
of the bed from freezing If these are the
effects of the climate within ana,ir tight, fire
warmed, crowded hut, what must it be ankong

western Ohio town: that gives peculiar force
to the old adage that "truth is stranger than
fiction." 'We can give the main particulars
Of • the letter without violating confidence or
giving disagreeable prominence to the chief
actor in the strane incident, or his friends.
Mr. Delos W. is a wealthy and influential
man, residing near the village of P. On the
Thursday preceding the prize fight between
Gallagher and Davis, the old gentleman was
thrown into a high state of excitement at
•a_r_aingthat kis only zmn John had gone to
Cleveland wit Ethe avowed purpose of attend
ing the fight, and hts excitement was intensi
fied at still further discovering that John had
helped himself to his (the father's) pocket
book, containing 8200. Mr. W. fumed and
- fretted over the conduct of his sou, and went
to bed with a raging headache and marked
symptoms of fever.
He was about the place in •t more com
posed state of mind oa Friday, but the in•
terview with John on Monday afternoon im•'
mediately after the son's return threw the old
gentleman into a parump,n) of rage and 'grief,
which was rendered doubly severe by John's
insolence and his acknowledgment that he
had lost $l3O of the money in abe on Gul

to the floor with a blow of his fist, and im•
mediately ther af;-er fell dow-u

the family ensued. The mother ran scream
ing for assistance, which was soon forthcom
ing in the persons of several of the neigh
hors. Mr W. was found in an apparently
lifeleSs c.mdition, with blood flowing hum
his mouth and nose. A substluent
exami
nation by a physician led to the andounee
meat by him that Mr W. hact died from the
bursting of a blood vessel So evidently had
the vital_spark fled that no efforts at resus

the store she always addressed hits, and
while examining the articles, he placed be

of. she was far less communicative than usu.

`I shall be at.the hotel in ono hour here

With these words she bowed reservedly,
and hastily left the store.
The young man was at a loss what to
think. However, an hour later he entered
the appartment of the American lady, who
invited him sans sacon, like UM acquaintance
of long standing to lunch with her. Although
thinking his customer's manners somewhat
strange, he accepted. While partaking of
tea and cakes, the young lady abruptly • ad
dressed her Luest saying:

It is.‘Olinic Day.' But before proceeding

for in presence of„the students and the symp

benee the term °little , Day. On the day in
question we took the tValnut „St. cars fjr
the hospital in West, Philadelphia so as to
reach that place at 10 A. M. We enter .all
apartment called the amphitheatre in which
the seats are arranged one above the other
an_ eircu at y avow] , an open space 'e are
na occupied by the lecturer. Thus every
one present can see tnything • brought for•
ward by the lecturer. The — first was a 'med
ical ease,' a colored man in the first stages of
Typhoid Fever. On this the lecturer spent
his whole hour explaining the different fea
tures of the disease and pointing out the dif
ferent symptoms present in the patient be•
fore us. An interesting hour, indeed to all
present especially t o those whose object
i n being present was out only t o see
but to learn. If anything were lacking in
the subject to make the lecture interesting
it was made up by the animation of the lec
turer. At 11 o'clock this gentleman bid us
an-d tu-rteta)
During the next hour he presented a num
ber 'surgical cases' for study, The first two
were_cases_efinilmnatory_disease",-the.-ane-oL
the wrist and the other of the hand. These
were almost in a state of mortification and
were freely lanced causing the patients con
siderable suffering. The :bird was Scrofula
of the spine. A few days ago red or white
hot irons were applied to each side of the af
fected part. At that time he had no Motion
in his legs, but now he is much better and
has his motion a little restored. The fourth
had an enormous enlargement of the upper
lip, out of which a piece had been cut some
time before. The dressings were removed

had his toe amputated. The sixth was the
most awful case I have ever seen. It was a
colored woman, who had about one-third of
her whole body burned. Her arms were raw;
some of the bones of - lihands had fallen a
away and ethers were banging loosely in their
places, The treatment of this ease may be
of use to acme Who may read this. The
Hburued-partswere'freely - paintett with white
lead rubbed up iu fits seed oil, without tur
pentine The great object was to keep the
parts from the air The seventh was a else
of Dropiy. Bis abduneu was very much en
larged, -he was tapped-and-ha Ta-large quan—
tity of fluid taken from him. This fintshes
the day at the hospital and now we hasten to
return to the city. We take the Chestnut
St cars and in thirty or forty minutes we are
landed within half a square of the medical
college We are about half' an hour behind
time as the clinic commences here at twelve
o'clock and continues until two. During-
the hour and a half we were ,resent we saw
fifteen different Eatients. These as at the hos
pital were examined and prescribed for in
our presence. The peculiarities of each case
was pointed out and discussed. This done
the cravings of nature hurries us all to our
dinners, where we eagerly Satisfied our hun

he hears in the lecture room and reads in his
books. There it is he - becomes practically
acquainted with diseases; some of' the truest
