A coKKicsi'O.NDKNT sends the following to a medical contemporary :—'An old man, nearly octogenarian, who had been in bed for twenty-seven years, being a harmless monomaniac, having the delusion that His Satanic Majesty always stood at his door to prevent him from going out, suddenly one morning, early in June, took it into his head that the Devil was gone, whereupon he got out of bed, and with nothing on but his shirt, walked down to the quay (nearly a quarter of a mile) and jumped over. Having been a good swimmer in his early days, he struck out, and although a boat put off from a vessel, he swam ashore. Nobody knowing him, he was taken to a publichouse, and a medical man was sent for. He was taken home, where he remained two or throe days in bed, all the better for his dip. He has been to church, and is now about to resume his former calling, that of a preacher.'
