INTERESTING SURGICAL cAsE "A young
man from Mississippi, 81 years Of age,
blind from his birth, came TO this city a
few weeks since, to submit TO a surgical
operation. Two weeks after ii was per-
formed. he presented himself TO The medi-
cal class, in The amphitbeatre, where he
was enabled 10 distinguish The features Of
those who bad recently attended him.
Nothing satisfactory could be extracted
from him on the subject ofthe difference
between those ideas received formerly
through the tense Of touch, and those re-
Gently received through that of vision.
He did net complain Of objects being too
near the seat OF vision, and knew, or could
indicate no difference between his ideas Of
form now. and before "lis eyes received
their sight" We are not as,onisbed at
this, since each sense calls forth It's appro-
PIRATE language; and until the sense Of Vi
sion is educated, there must DC a want oil
correspondent words by which TO make
known to others the nice shades and pc.
culiarites Of mental Impression resulting
from its incipient use.
He was particularly pleased with The
eYersise of vision in the streets, looking
at houses, aud trees, and flowers, and mer
and women; but expressed himself as de
lighted in gazing at the beautiful girls fol-
the first time in his life. having, as he said
had the pleasure Of "fceling them only
before"
The relief thus afforded TO those Athlete,
with cataract from birth, is, we are infor
med, as entire aud as safely aud as easily
accomplished where the patient has beer
born blind. as in eases of IFS later occur
renee. We mention this for the benefi
of any such, whose friends, having BEEF
under a different impression, may chanc,
10 read this article. The operator, in tn
case alluded TO above, was Benjamin w
Dudly, NJ. D., Professor of Anatomy an,
Surgery in the Medical School OF Tran

STRANGE Loss.-An application was
made for the Coroner, by respectable
dressed female, who made the following
extraordinary statement She said that
walking along n of the streets that
morning, carrying her infant in her
arms, the child became suddenly ILL,
that she fastened with it to an apothe.
cary's, where it died. A female who
was an entire stranger to her, then vo-
lunteered to carry the corpse to the
City Hall, while the mother fastened
with the affecting news to her husband
but up to the time ofour leaving the
police court, neither the female nor the
body Of the infant had been heard Of.
