An adventure of a peculiar kind, which chiefly concerned a medical missionary, Dr. Kirk, in China, was narrated by the Rev. G. H. MeNeur, Moderator of the New Zealand Assembly, in his address in Levin last week. The doctor, it appeared, amputated a Chinaman’s leg, but did not know what to do with it, the operation having been performed when the hospital was in its early stages of development. >lf he was to put the, leg in the river, it would turn up lower down; if he tried to bury it, he would be seen, because there were people everywhere. 110 packed it up carefully, and the first night he placed it under his bed. Next day he put -it in a suit ease and took it to Mr. MeNeur’s residence, and during a dark hour of the night he planted it in the garden. The speaker added that he had mover since come across the leg.
