Retnrns are iu from all the Flor ence county precincts, and helow is the result: For Congress, John son 701, Norton 671; for probate judge, McNeill 825, Clayton 544. Johnson's majority in the county is 30, and McNeill is elected probate judge, his majority being 281. According to returns received from the other counties, some of which are not quite complete, Nor ton is undoubtedly elected to Congress.

St. Louie, Mo., Sept- 14.—For forty-eight hours, Thomas Dur kin, a laborer, living at Third and Rim streets, had snlfered awful pains in bis head. There was such a roaring and buzzing in his ear that he could not sleep. He was almost crazy. He pulled and tugged at the thing, but could not get it oat- At last be was told to go to th-i city dispensary, and he walked iu on Dr. Edgar Thomp son, who at first thought his caller was crazy. Durkin groaned and cried that his head wae bursting, and said if he did not get relief he would dash his brains out. Dr- Thompson probed in the right ear and felt a soft substance that wriggled at tbs touch of the probe. An attendant had to hold Durkin while the prob ing was going on. First, the doctor drew out a big blue bottle mother fly. Still this did not give the Buffering man relief. He yelled that there were a thousand other things yet in his head, wriggling and working their way into hie brain. Dr. Thompson next poured chloroform and sweet oil into the troubled ear, and, to hie surprise there came squirming from the aperture little baby flies. When the doctor had finished, he had taken frem Parkin’s ear 25 live flies, each fully one-eighth of an inch long, when Durkin was re lieved. Durkin is a hapless fellow about 40 years old. He said he first felt the fly iu the ear Sunday. He supposes it got in the ear while he was asleep on the street. • lOO—Dr. K.
