Truly she was lovely creature. My
Eiend was man of most refined taste, u
pied with high manly independence of
selling, and all was purified and elevated
n the most liberal education. Mrs. Els
prd was worthy Of her husband. Her

SURGICAL OPERATIONS IN THE CINCINNATI
HosPITAL.-Two weeks ago, we prepared
brief notice under this title, which our
compositor mislaid. The purport Of il
was that among the recent operations Of
this Infrmary, there were performed on
Saturday, the 18th nit, before the Medi-
cal Class Of the Cincinnati College, which
deserve to be noted, as conveying useful
information to persons at a distance, who
may labor under similar maladies.
The first, was the arnputation, near the
shoulder, Of the arm Of young man from
the western part of Virginia for disease
of the elbow joint, which we understand,
is called soft cancer. Professor Mcdowell
performed the operation. The patient,
we are informed is nearly well.
The second, was the extirpatioa Of the
eye Of lady from Wisconsin Territory.
II was affected with the same disease
This is said to be an operation often fol-
lowed by dangerous, and sometimes fatal
symptoms, but the patient is doing well,
This operation was performed by Profess
sor Drake,
The third operation, at the same place,
and by the same gentleman, was for catar-
act, on woman from the State oflndiana.

your senior.

a man married three times in one daU--
The Duke of Orleans, Prince Royal of
France performed this extraordinary feat,
and actually survived the operation. For
tunateIy he married the same ladv each
time, or it would have killed him outright.
The Prince was Roman Catholic, and his
bride Lutheran. The Laws required u
civil marriage, and each Of the parties in.
sisted on a marriage according to the rites
OF their respective churches The civil
marriage was performed in the gallery OF
Henry IL, it was solemnized according TO
Catholic worship, in the chapel of the
Trinity; and according to Lutheran rites,
IN the gallery of Louis PHILIPPE. We pre-
sumo as the wedding was thrice celebra-
ted, the expense and magnifcence, and en-
joyment was in the same proportion, that
8 times the usual quantity of cake were
eaten, three times the usual quantity of
wine was swallowed, and every thing per-
tanning to the union was carried out on
triple scale. May it be three times as
happy as royal marriages generally are.
But one marriage is enough for common
folks We happened one day to get mar
ricd ourselves and without wishing TO
discourage the young who are full of ana
ticipation and hope, we can say, in the hon
esty of our hearts, (although we might
not venture to whisper it to our better
half) that once was enough for US, and
we never desired to 60 through with such
a ceremony again.

Beyond all moderation.

With much deliberation,
And some CONSERVATION,
At the seeming infatuation
That seized your imagination;
When you made such declaration,
On so slender foundation;
But on examination,
Supposed it done from ostentation,
To display education.
Or rather multiplication
OF words of the same termination,
Though with great variation
And differe It signi6c .tion,
Which without disputation,
May deserve commentator;
And | think imitation
A sufficient qualification.
