Chained For Life. Jay Hill died a few days ago at hU home, five miles above Trinity Col lege, N. C, aged seenly years. He ; was a most remarkable character. He j was born an idiot, bat since infancy has possessed physical strength to a rare degree, and was well formed in every particular with the exception of his head, which was so extremely illshaped as to give him more the ap pearance of a beast than of a man. When but a child he was often so vi olent that it was necessary to chain him to the floor. Notwithstanding this unnatural existence, he grew and strengthened day by day, until his chair was not sufficient to hold him, and two three times he broke loose and fled to the woods Dnrins-his brief liberty he was as violent as a tiger, an J it was difllcu t to recapture and return him to his place of confinement. He was fast ened with stronger bauds, and with the exception of a few days, he re mained chained to the floor in the same room for about fifty years. He had an insatiate desire for tearing to pieces anything that he could get, and at times it was impossible tc keep him clothed. Flax was spun up into coarse, strong threads and wo ven into cloth, which was doubled and quilted and made into garments for him, but with his teeth and his talon fingers he tore them into threads. He has been known to tear to pieces a solid stick of hickory wood with nothing but his teeth and fingers. He ate as ravenously as a lion, and could drink, without the slighted pain, boiling coffee. On several occasions members of the family narrowly escaped being killed by him. One evening a sister started to go out of doors. She pass ed too near him and he sprang at her with great force,knocked her through the door into the yard, so badly inju ring her that it was not thought pos sible for her to live. His father pro vided for him before his death, leav ing property enough to maintain a wretched life through all these years. It was stipulated in the will that he should not be taken to an asylum, and that he should be kept on the old homestead . Exchan ge.
