SINGULAR OPERATION FOR CON.
SUMPTION

The Philadelphia Inquirer mentions an
instance of a surgical operation performed il
that city for the cure Of consumption of the
lungs, on the 18th Of May last. The disease
was in the right side, great portion of the
lung being occupied by an abscess which
communicated with the cavity of the chest
the diagnosis being based upon physical ex-
ploration. An incision was made about three
inches long between the sixth aud seventh
ribs; gum elastic tube was introduced into
the cavity of the abscess, and the pus drawn
off by means OF a pump. The orifce was
kept open and the tube applied until the pus
(Which amounted to 81 ounces) was entirely
removed. The patient Immediately after the
operation became entirely relieved; his cough
subsidized, and his respiration became easy
He is now convalescent, having had no bad
symptoms since the operation.

Gently occurred in Concord, New Hampshire:
One Of the most amusing incidents of the
day was that Of pedler breaking up Loco
Foco caucus at Carols. J.J. Hale sometimes
known as" pig or puppy Hale, u. S. Attor-
ney for the n. II. Dist. was holding forth,
when the Pedler drew up on the opposite side
Of the street, cooked his hat, and sung the pop
ular song "When this old hat was new.'' Be
fore he had got half through with the song,
the Loco Focos deserted their speaker, one by
one, and finally left Hale holding forth ''alonc
in his glory" They preferred TIC pedler'
song, and the words have so rurg in their ears
ever since, that it is said half Of them went
to the stores and ordered new Harrison hat
on the spot.

Tie strongest sign yet.-The Halifax Adj
vocate states that Gov. Branch on the occa-
sion OF public dinner at Enfield, openly
avowed mis- opposition to Martin Van Buren,,
and declared his administration to be, in MS

Branch, deserts any party in power, that party
must be in a hopeless condition indeed.
