LINDER’S MISFORTUNE.(ilflnx Birth to a Child of I'aporalleled Deformity—The Appvcit Csom.Gsjuutviluc. X. J., April i£2.-Mrs. Linder, the wife of a reepectable mechanic living on Jackson avenue, gave birth to her fourth child. Mrs. Serna Gruner, a midwife, was in attendance. While she was washing the little stranger she found an entire absence of bony structures In the bead. It gave the sensation to the touch as of a hollow rubber balL On taking the baby to the light Mm Gruner observed that it was singularly malformed. The bead resembled that of a tea Uon, and the horrified midwife felt like dropping the lUtle one and taking to her heeU. She called Mr. tinder to look st his child.The abnormnl rese*i*iblnnlt;v had already Itecovue nior»* di«iim*t. Ther* wax an entire abfeeuce oi tbs ua*al bonus, mud the lower portion of the frontal bone was undeveloped. The nostrils ware only rudimentary. . The under lip fell below the chin. The baby had no eyes, although there were cavities or depressions corresponding to the orbital spaces. Unlike other infants, Mrs. Linder's baby does not cry. It bellows when it is hungry, and becomes quiet and gentle as soon as it is feed. It refuses to take natural nourishment, but, although a few days old, thrives and grows fat on thick cracker pep which would be refused by the stomach of a much older child. The reel of the body and internal organs appear to be normal and are well formed.The grief-stricken mother hoped that the child would die, but it has grown stronger with each hour of life.A friend of the family said that one day last summer Mm Linder visited the aquarium and became much interested in the antics of the seals and sea lions. She talked of them for weeks afterwards. While visiting the place on several other occasions she always spent a long time before the cage.
