EXTRAORDINARY OPERATION.-0110 of the most
wonderful cures (so wonderful in fact that we should feel
inclined to doubt its accuracy were we not informed upon
the most undeniable authority) that the records of the vete-
rinary art contains has lately been perfoi filed by Mr. George
Holmes, of Beverley, veterinary surgeon. The animal
operated upon was a valuable black horse belonging to Mr.
Metcalfe, of Walkington Weld, which was suffering from
water on the chest, and from which Mr. Holmes succeeded
in extracting the enormous quantity of lsf gallons of water
in one drawing. This extraordinary operation was per-
formed with perfect success without a second operation
being necessary, and although only a short time since, the
horse is perfectly well, and it would be difficult to, detect
that anything has ever been the matter with it, or that any
operation has been performed ; in fact, the horse is doing all
the ordinary work with the rest of the team, and has re-
rained its condition to the fullest extent. This is the only
Instance on record where such an operation has been per-
formed with any degree of success-.how the animal had
lived with such an enormous quantity of water on the chest
was sufficiently extraordinary—we are informed that ha was
fast drowning ; but the fact of its being extracted without
the slightest injury is positively wonderfal.—Mancheeter
Guardian.

The Royal Exhibition, 1851. A valuable, newly-
inventeo. very small, powerful Waistcoat-pocket Glass,
the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen
and known one and a half mile distant. They answer
every purpose on the, Race-course and at the Opera-
houses. Country scenery and ships are clearly seen
at four to six miles. They are invaluable for shooting,
deer-stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, game-
keepers, and tourists. Price 30s.—Spectacle Lenses of the
greatest transparent power. The great advantage derived
from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is
preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are
enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occupation
—can see with those lenses of a much less magnifying
power, and they do not require the frequent changes to the
dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Persons
can be suited at the most remote part of the world by send •
ing one of the glasses out of their spectacles in a letter, and
stating the distance from the eyes they can read small print
with it, and those who have not made use of spectacles by
atatingtheirage. Deafness.—New Discovery.—The Organic
Vibrator, an extraordinarily powerful small newly-invented
instrument for Deafness, entirely different from all others,
surpasses anything of the kind that has been, or probably
ever can be, produced. 'Being of the same colour as the
skin, is not perceptible. It enables deaf persons to hear
distinctly at church and at public assemblies; the unplea-
sant sensation of singing noises in the ears is entirely re •
moved, and it affords all the aisisitince that possibly could
be desired.-39. Albemarle-stmt, Piccadilly. Observe—
