A venerable American Judge relates the fol-
lowing revolutionary anecdote:


The morning following the battle of York
town, had the curiosity to attend the dress
ing Of the wounded. Among others whose
limbs were so much injured as to require am
putation, was musician who had received a
musket ball in his knee. AS was usual in
such cases, preparations were making to lash
him down to the table, to prevent the possi-
bility of his moving.


Says the sufferer, Now doctor, what would
you be at?" "My lad, I'm going to take off
your leg, and It's necessary you should be LASH
ed down." "Ill consent to no such thing.
You may pluck the heart from my bosom, but
you'll not confne me. Is there fiddle in the
tent? If so, bring it to me-" A violin was
furnished, and after tuning it he said, Now
doctor, begin," and he continued to play until
the operation, whichetpok aboutfsrty minutes,
was completed, without missing a note or
moving muscle.
