A ReAsXKABLEa Ais.--. A child born under peculiar circumstances. -One of the most remarkable cases that has ever come under the observation of our'medical frater nity has just transgired at the residence: of a young man named Abriel, who resides on First street, ArborHill. Mr. A. is a return ed soldier. He has been home something less than a year. When he came he was suffering from a minnie ball wound through the fleshy part of the right arm. ' It became so bad that the attending physician talked seriously of am iutation.' Thisworked seri ously on the mind of his young wife, for he had but a- short time pe-viously been mar ried. She cared for and- dressed the arm regularly; and-aid every attention to it not wishing to-see her husband with only one am. -This was some eight'or nine months ago. Under, the kind seaSe of the:wife, whose whole attention was absorbed in the thought of a one-armed bhisband,thewound got well and the'arm was saved. Now for the:so queL AIIl this transpired eight ,or nine monthe ago. The other day the wife of Abriel gawbirthlito a chfl)d who had one well-developed arm, lit the other was a stump similar to the one which'the poor wife's mind was impressed with at the time the surgeons were talking of taking it off. ~Aimputation could nothave produced a more beautiful stump, and what is more the scar of the bullet hole, so visible on the father's arm, was- as visible on the child's' arm at the base of the stumup, as if really in flicted by a ball. This is the most remarkable case of "child-mark" ever known. :It has attracted the attention of our leading physicians and surgeons. The child isa healthy andbean tiful one, pirfect in every respect, save the absence of the ainiM referred to.-[Albany (N. Y.) Knickerb.cker. ug.
