able that c should hesitate in giving it pub
licity, did not cur information come from
the most unquestionable source:
There is, at the present time, in Marion
District, S. G.. boy Child, the sou Of ! back
woman belonging to Mr. John NJ i'eod, who
1T the age of three months, walked quar-
ter of a mile with euse and without assis-
tance. He is not quite nine months old, yet
speaks scnsbiy and delberatcly--riIeS on
horseback to any place, when assisted to

eight to ten pounds. He oftimes grAsps the
horse firmly by the name, throws his heels
in the air, and performs several other tricks
with all the agility of an equestrian mon
key.

From the Eoston Medical Intelligenccr.

OAeration for remopiag the Nader Jazc.-l
This formidable operation was performed by
Professor De La Matter, of the Berkshire
Medical institution, upon girl aged IA, OF
Pine Plains, Duchess Co. n. Y. The dis
ease was osteo sarcoma, and the whole cir-
Gle Of the alveoIar arch, from the angle OF
the Jaw on the side, to the same point on
the other; was involved in the disease. The
tumor projected forward from the chin, sol
Il. to diStoit the f lures i'll a shocking man
ner and protruled into the mouth so far as
TO keep the jaws strained apart. The
tongue was almost ont OF sight, and its use
nearly destroyed. Within the last fifteen
months, the tumor had increased, and eX-
tended itself three and a quarter inches, on
each side, and such was the rapldty OF its
growth, tAat there was no alternative but
to arrest It with the knife. A verticlc ncis-
ion WAS first made down the under lip, to
the thyroil cartilage, and another OH a line
with tn. edge of the jaw and the teguments
dissectel from the bone. When the whole
/ was properly exposed, the jaw was sawed
off on the right side, through the socket OF
! the Last double tooth, and on the left, through
tine last socket but one. Only three arteries
J were taken up: viz. the facial OH the right
side, and the two inguals.
Our Informant adds, that in ten days after
the operation, the wound had healed, and
the patients face recovered its proper shape
so far, that with the aid of dossli of lint
within the upper lip, her late misfortune
could scarcely be discovered; and that he
hears still later that she actually masticatcs
| food; and has no hesitation III saying, thot
ne believes new jaw will soon hc geuerat-
ed which will nearly fulfil the office of the
original enc, although it may be without
teeth. The new bone win give shape to TIE
face, if properly moulded by 5andages, and
be firm and unyieldng.
He remarks that it is law Of the animal
economy, that if portion of bone be re-
moved from between tho two artculating
extremities, a new one will be formed in its
place, which will nearly resemble the ORR
ginal.-Thus new thigh bone, new tiba,
| a new Jaw are alike the result ct arterial &C
tion;--and any artery may at times make a
deposition of ossifc matter;-hence the
valves of the heart are often changed into
bonv plates. 1t is but few years since he
had in his possession, the skull of negress,
forty five years of age, which head all the
appearance of young child's-and had he
lived a little longer, he thinks that new
head would have been completed. The old
skull was unquestionably absorbed, and ma
turc had made a strong effort to regencrate
the whole bony system.

Fortunes last Frohc.-A somewhat sim
gular freak of dame fortune is mentioned in
the Commercial Advertiser. A poor man
who had fallen into "durance vile, bcsought
the officer in whose hands he was, to take
three tickets in the last Literature Lottery
(Which was all he had in the world to Of
fer him though not equal to the denand,)
and to let him so. The officer took the tick.
cts, handed them over to the creditor and
the prisoner was released from his coniine-
ment. In a few days after, one OF these
tickets came out a prize Of tzpenty.fve
thousand dollars. This identical ticket had
been offered to the officer by the creditor,
as gratuity for his services. who declined
taking it as he did not like the number, but
chose another which drew blank. 1t is
to be hoped that the holder OF the ticket
will at least divide his good fortune with the
poor man who was it's owner, and who gave
up his claim to the whole upon the compul.
sion of the law.

LETTERS FROM EUROPE.

ROME, 4ih .4pril 1926.
lwrote YOU, my dear friend, from Naples,
explaining how came there, of which l hal
not the most distant intention when l wrote
YOU from Bastia, in Corsica. That letter,
which was transmitted TO Marseilles, to be for
warded to the United States, for there seems
10 be no American commerce to Naples. men
toned my intention of proceeding, in few
DAYS, for tbs city, and gave sketch Of what
1 had sesaat Naples anu its environs. l shall
add few remarks on the same subject,
Puzzuolo, which visited alone, my French
frieI-ls having departed, contains the remains
of an ancient temple to seroPis, and hume
,ous baths adjoining, still resorted to for their
medicinal virtues. The columns of the tenn
pie, or rather their remains, shew that volca-
mic fire bad destroyed or passed near it
There is also an amphitheatre remaining, as at
Pompeia; my Cicerone called it-of St. Janua-
RUS, the patron of Naples-that he was con-
fined there in the prisons, from whence he
was exposed to ferocious animals, let loose
on him--the places of confinement of each
are yet very distinct-but, reverencing the
Saint, they were perfectly harmless, think
he said, fawned on him; so that, to finish his
martyrdom, he was beheaded. On the road
to the ruins of the ancient Guinea, visited
the Lake D'Averno, and the SYPHILIS Grotto,
into which recess, passing with torches thro'
> long subtenaneous opening formed in the
rock, was carried by guide-for large
stream of water now rlshes through the sub

and most dreary abode it must have been.
There are to be seen plainly, cut in the rock,

POETRY.

The following beautiful Hymn IS from rh'
men of the RiSh. Rev. REsISALD HEHER, re
Gently appointed successor to Bishop Middle
ton, as Bishop Of Calcutta.
From Greenland's icy mountains,
From midas coral strand,
Where Afiie's sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand;
From many an ancient river,
From many balmy plain,
They call us to deliver
Their land from Errors chain.
What though the spicy breezes
Blow soft DER Ceylon's isle,
Though every prospect pleases,
And only man is vile:
In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God are strewn;
The heather, in his blindness,
Bows down to wood and stone.
Shall we, whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from on high
Shall we, to men benighted,
The lamp of life deny!
Salvation! oh, Salvation!
The joyful sound proclaim.
Till each remotest nation
Has learned Messiah's name!
Watt, watt, We winds, his story,
And you, We waters, roll,
Till, ike a sea of glory,
1t spreads from pole to pole;
Till DER our ransomed nature
The Lamb for sinners slain,
R0deemer, King, Creator,
In bliss returns to reign.

VARIETY.
GRAMMATICAL SMOKING.


As smoking is an innocent indul-
gence, and as it is customary with peo-
pie Of all classes to relate the news Of
the day, with cigars in their mouths;
and as the generality Of smokers make
an awkward appearance, in conse-
quence OF their ignorapce Of the theory
of punctuation in smoking, the follow
ing system is recommended
A simple puff serves for comma,
Puff, puff, semicolon;
Puff, puff, puff; colon:
Six puffs, nessioc.
A pause, with cigar in the mouth,
represents dash--longer or shorter
in continuance.
With the under lip raise the cigar
almost against the nose for an excla-
nation And to express great emo
ton, even to the shedding of tears, only
raise as before, the cigar to the end Of
the nose.
For an interrogation? it is only ne.
cessary TO open the lips and draw the
cigar round the corner of the mouth.
Taking the cigar from the mouth
and shaking the ashes from the end, is
a conclusion of paragraph.
And throwing it in the fire is final
and hs stylish b. pause.
smoked cigar, for to light another
while conversing, is not only breach
of politeness, but interieres with the
above SYSTEM Of punctuation, which
destroys all energy and harmony OF ex-
preston.

The following ludicrous extract Is
from an old book on physic, which We
were favored with by friend; 1t forms
the conclusion of grave physical trea-
tise. The work is from the pen OF one
Andrew Boordo, uhn IveJ in the davS
of Mary and Elizabeth, and is entitleo,
"Tbe Breviary OF Healthe, by Andrew
Boorde, Phisyche Doctoure, an Eng
Iysman, ammo 1857" Should any Oh
our natients be troubled with the disor-
der here mentioned, We trust the RENE
DIV given by this learned doctor VIII De
found effica ious:-"The Isl chapitre
doth shewe of an evyll fever. the which
doth combar yonge persons, named 'ns
fever burden (lazy fecer.j. Among a"
the feyers, I had almost forgotten tho
fever burden, with the which manye
yonge men, yonge women, maydens'
and other yonge persons, bee sore In
fecled nova dayes. The cause OF this
infirmitte; This fever doth come r,atu-
rally. or els by evyll and slothfull
bringing up. If it come by nature,
then the fever is incurable; for it can
never out of the Aeshe that is bred IN
the bone; yf it come by s!outhial
bringing up, it may be hopen by dill
gent iabour. A Remedy: There IS no.
thyng for the fever burden as is UNI
puentum 5acuIinum; that is to say,
take a sticke or wan Of a yard oflength
and more, and let it be as great as
mans fynger, and with 1t anoyn' lns
back and shoulders well, mornyng and
evening. and do this twenty-one dayes,
and If this fever wyl not be holpen IN
that time, let them beware OF wag-
pynee on the gallowes; and whyies they
do take theyr medicine, put no iuooor-
wort into their potage."
The celebrated Mademoiselle Le-
couvreur, of the Theatre Francois, pass
ing through the streets at a very late
hour. on cold raw night, was accosted
by poor woman with four little chill
dren on her back, who, in tone OF BIT
ter suffering, beseeched the actress to
take pity on her destitute condition.
MademoiselIe Lecouvreur searched IN
her pockets, and finding nothing:'W ant,
said she, my good woman, will give
YOU more than you could have noPea
for;' and instantly throwing OH her
mantle, she began to reciie the impreca,,
lions Of Cowilld, with vehemence ana
superior talent which soon collected a
crowd around her, notwithstanding the
incIemency of the season. She then
made collection among the auditors
and with the fruits Of her charitable ex-
ertion, gave the poor woman a sum,
Gent sum to provide lodgings anu
clothes for her infants.

amined both. 1t being holy week, the last OF
lent, the city was crowded to excess, to wit
ness the grand display of priestly pomP and

procure lodgings, and after examination OF
baggage at the custom-house, l at last was
forced, for it was getting late and was much
fatigued, to pay the objectionable price ofone
dollar night, for but an Indifferent room:
that should not have minded a moment, tor
one night, but the point was made that must
take it for one week-real Italian imposition
on stranger. And since, the landlord tells
me, when the week expires, may have 1t for
less than one third of what now pay. Then,
in fact, the strangers will have left the city for
Naples, Florence and other parts OF Italy,
whence they have hocked to Rome to wit
ness the imposing ceremonies at St Peters
and other churches-called religious. There
is a great number of English here; meet
them in every street and at every exhibition.
