Some years ago, a man went into a

for a stnujl sum, which, he placed upon
tlie counter to get the njonby for it: At
the sniiie time another person placed his
check there, for a very large amount.
The ti Her in pickinjf up the checks, coun
ted out the large sum of money, and gave
it to the man who owned the small check.
He took the money, and beginning to
count it, soon saw he had too much. In

tlie pond to prevent poaching, and, as
it afterwards apeared, fractured its skull,
aud turned the optic nerve on one side.
The agony evinced by the fish was most
horrible, it rushed to the bottom boring
its head into the mud ; whirled itself
round Willi such velocity that it was al
most lost to the sight for a short interval.
It then plunged about the pond, and at
length threw itself completely out of the
water on the bank, lie (the Doctor) went
aud examiued it, and found that a very
small portion of the brain was protruding
from the fracture of the skull. He care
fully replaced this, mid with a small sM-
ver tooth pick raised the indented portion
of the skull. Tlie fish remained still for
a short time, and he then put it again into
the pond. It appeared ut first a good
deal relieved, but it tiiruiii darted and
plunged about, until it threw itself out of
the water the second time.
A second time Dr. Warwick did what
he could to relieve it, and again put it in
to the . water. It continued for several
times to throw itself out of the water, and
