VOL. I, NO. 23 Friday, 23 June 1871 "TRUTH STRANGER, &c." - Almost every newspaper you pick up just now contains a story relating how some woman ran a needle into her foot and pulled it out of her elbow seventeen years afterward. We know of a stranger case than this. There is a woman living in the fourth ward who swallowed a dollar gold piece just before the war. Well, she heard nothing about it during all these years, until a day or two since, when she felt a pain proceeding from a swelling on her left shoulder. The doctor lanced the tumor, and it actually dis- charged five dollars' worth of currency in 50, 25 and 10 cent notes! The doctor thinks they must have changed just about the time specie payments were suspended. With what wonderful accuracy does Nature conform herself to the laws of circumstances! -- Muskegon Chronicle. ===========================================================================
