SURGICAL OPERATION.
An astonishing surgical operation was late
'y performed with success in the hospital OF
81. Lou,, al rsris. Peasant Of the neigh
borhood of La Fere was persuaded tia, about
five years ago he had swallowed with bis food
some reptile which ia an inesplicabie manner,
still lived, as he sfficmet.. in his s;omach.-
The Physicians employed various prescrp-
tions without effect. Tortured by excrucia,-
ing pains, the unhappy man resolved 70 90 10
Paris TO be opened which operation was in
TACT performed by making an inci~inn j,isi be-
low The region OF the heart, when il was as
cer!ained that his conjecture was well found
ed. As soon as the animal perceived more air
than II was accustomed To-, it Showed itself al
the end Of the incision, but Immediately drew
back when one of ihe assistants put bis fin
ger into the wound and drew out snake two
and half feet in length, and eighteen lines

ed. The Legislature is now attacked" The
Permanent deputation OF tic Cories," observe
these papers, g have lost the confidence of
The people, and are accused Of ternporisiDg
with his Majesty, aud displaying an unbecom-
ing apathy under presen, circumstances In
palmer language, military execution is not
made the order Of the day.
