TIIE KILL-AND-CURE DOCTOR.—A trial came a
daring the last Lem Anises, while the Judges were on drink la
which an ignorant country surgeon was a principal witness he he
prosecution. Of course. in his cross-examination, the Omni Ilar
the defendant attempted to shake his testimony, and, as the cam
turned on a point of practice, for this purpose he priadpilly re-
lied on the fact that he was an interloper in the medical peafaisio,
and totally destitute of surgical skill. " Pray, Doctor," mild
the advocate in a voice of thunder, "did not —foaming dormer
patient) die under your hands ?" " Why—he did. ' " And—?"
" Ye-yes." " And—?" " Why—l can't deny it!" "Welt,
sir, and pray what was your occupation before you presumed to
intrude into a liberal profession?" " I was—a--a—bacon-carm
sir. 0 A bacon-curer !" sneered the counsellor, his stern kenos
relaxing into a smile, " then that accounts for it ; you dump k
was with your patients as with your hogs—you must lid them be-
fore you could curs them."

VETERIN ARV OPERATION.--A rather unusual ope-
ration bas been performed by Mt. Saudi, veterinary surgeon,Perlb,
on a horse, the property of James Hill, Esq. in the Cane of Gum*.
The horse was attacked with tumours in the nostrils, which la*
creased to such a size as to threaten suffocation. The ease
bad been abandoned by the farrier in the neighbasehood ts
beyond his skill. When Mr. Small eras applied to be Mose-
-1 diateley proceeded to make an incision into the wiadelpe of the
animal, and then inserted a metal tube, by which oilier respiratlan
was carried on for nearly a fortnight. till the tumours were am-
pletely removed. The cube was then taken out. and the wound
healed up—cbe animal is now working perfectly well. The ago-
nishment of the natives when Mr. Small began, In their opinion.

WA vnitLEY NovELs.—Me. Skene, of Robertalaw,
visited, in the beginning of the present month, various parts of
the &ewartry of Kirkcudbright, sketching as he went every
object of interest, and more particularly the old castles of
Threave and Kirkcudbright, the site of Torn, and the singular
caves of Rascarrel and Barber°, at the mouth of the Suiway.
Threave, with its ponderosa and main walls, over which the ele-
ments berm to pass unheeded, was deemed worthy of more than nee
sketch ; and well it might, since a mere imposing relic of feudal
grandeur is hardly to be met with in any part of Scotland. React
the sea coast, the artist trode as classic ground, and has done
ample justice, by the power of his pencil, to the site of a stronghold
perched like the eaglet's home in the eliff, the frowning steep in
(root, with the ocean beyond, and not far distant, more than we
darksonse cave, which those who profess to be in the author's
secret, have long identified with the localities of Guy Manner*.
Rascarrel and Barbee°, were faveurite haunts of the smuggler
Yawkings—a man of prodigies, nerve and prowess, and, beyond
all doubt, the original of Dirk Hatterick, if there be any truth in
the legends of the South. His bark was named the Black Prince.
and such was the hardihood of the captain and crew, and such
their intimate knowledge of the coast, that many a (mostly cargo
they landed in defiance of the elements and the unceasing hostility
of the punk toile of another generation. During the prevent
season, a burel, containing some dozens of claret, was dug up Ca
a farm in the parish o f Girdles, and marching, we believe, with
the bay of Fleet. One of these a friend helped to discuss a few
days ago, and amidst many conjectures formed at random, " to
bow long the claret bad remained in its hiding-place, one Indivi-
dual went so far as to of that the barrel, which was stove while
being raised, had formed part of the cargo of the Black Prune,
and been concealed during the days of the =doubted Yawkings.
Be this as it may, it is proper to add, that Yr. Sheer is Vice-Pre-
oldest of the Antiquarian Society, and the intimate friend of Sir
Raker Scott ; and that many of his sketches have been taken at
the particular must of the latter.—Dettiries Gorier.
