SURGERY.

a novel and important surgical operation
was performed with complete success, by Dr.
5. Pomeroy White, Of Hudson, in this state,
on the Esd Of October last. 4 Mr.. Vanval-
kenburg, tailor, aged sixty, was afflicted with a
tumour, as large as chId's head, accumulated
in ten months upon his left hip, proceed
ing, II was a, length found by Instrumental ex.
animation, from all aTeurismal sac Of five
inches depth. To remove this it was agreed to
take up and tie the giuieai or internal lilac artery
an operation never before attended with success
in this country and seldom in Europe. Re-
pea,ed hemorrhages, weakness, and danger, in
duced the patient to consent to the experiment
The artery was accordingly taken up below The
disease, the ligaiure passed under with the
Philadelphia needle one inch below the bifur-
cation, removed down about FIVE inc hes with
DR.. A. T.. Hosack's kno, appica;or) and tied
firmly, and the incised parts united in The usual
manner.
The first dressing was on the eighth day; at
the end oil four weeks The iigature came away;
and IN ten days more the tuMour had gradually
subsidized, anc the patient was so far recovered
as to walk about his neighborhood. The young
surgeon was assisted by his father in the ope-
ration, and by other physicians in previous con-
sullatlon. The details of hi, bold and fortu-
nate experiment are given in the American
Journal Of the Medical Sciences; and we think
that facts Of this kind ought 10 be more gene
rally communicated, as well for The credit Of
our skilful and en!erprising practitioners, as for
the Common benefit Of the public.

DEXTER ASYLUM.

We learn that this place is nearly completed, and
will soon be ready for the reception Of the poor of
the town. Before the pocr, however. shall be remo
we'd TO the Asy um, town meeting will be called to
make preparatory arrangements, adopt rules for It's
government, and direct in what the poor arc
to be removed At that meeting an important ques-
tion will arise, which is, shall all who receive assis
tance from the town be transferred to the Asy lum
1t is we'll known that in addition TO the number who
arc wholly supported under the direction Of the
overseer Of the poor, there is much larger number
who receive from him only occasional supplies, Of
small amount. BY the aid of this partial relief they
arc enabled to support themselves, and many of them
large families. Should they be denied a continuance
Of this public charity, unless they receive it at the
Asylum, il might be refused by many, whose families
must consequently suifer-but should all be willing
TO remove their families to the Asylum they would
soon 6ll Its numerous rooms, ard probably bo much
more expensive 10 the public than If they continued
TO receive assistance in the manner it has been Civ
en-. This consider alton will be worth the attention
Of our freemen.
We noticed in the report Of the Committee made
at the last town meeting, ol rules lor the govern
ment of the Asylum, that the duties Of the Town
Council, already very numerous and arduons, arc to
be greatly augmented. The rules require that the
whole Board shall hold monthly meeting at the
Asylum, and that a committee Of two OF their num-
bcr shall visit il weekly. We know Of no men in
whom confidence may be moro safely placed than in
tho present Council but most Of thom are mon OF
business who sacrifice their interests in attend
ing to tho numsrou, duties enoincd on thom by their
Office, and it would be asking Of thcm 100 great
sacrifice to doublc their duties by requiring so con.
slant an attention to the affairs OF the Asylum az tho
report contemplates.
Would ii not bo better to invest some individual
with the immediate caro-, inspection and suporint
dcnce Of tho Asylum, under the advice Of the Town
Council who should only bo required TO hold quar-
tcrly meetings at that place. Aud would not the
person who holds the office Of Ovcrscer Of the Poor,
by reason Of holding that Office, be the ono whom the
irccmen would select. The laws Of tho State have
ppoecd many duties upon this tflise, and so loss as

captain to his house. He next appointed an
afternoon for receiving tho two mates Green
being the younger paid some little attention,
to me; Il will not crticise upon his style, that
is no doubt well known to you,) He afterwards
called repeatedly and at length seemed to have
fattered himself with some hopes which pru-
dent man could never have anticipated being
realized. I treated him with civil coolnssss
and thought had fully convinced him, that
was perfectly Indifferent to him. But, just be-
fore your ship put to sea, he called on me to
bid me formal adiea-He then openly avow-
ed his love for me, ! treated his confession
with i'll concealed dsapprobation. He took
up likeness of mine which lay on the table
and begged with tear that would let him
carry it TO sea with him, promising to return il
back to me, when tho ship returned to this
port.
