IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

The following is translated from a recent
number of the Gazette dcs Deur Mondes Of
Paris -
"Some days ago Baron Dupotet presented to
the Academy Of Medicine a Deaf Mute, ten
years Of age, whose speech and hearing he had
restored by magnetic process The Academy
Immediately appointed IA commission to inquire
into the truth of a fact which threatens to over
turn all previous notions of science. Their re-
port is looked for anxously.
"Snce that time the Baron submitted to his
process deaf mute of the age Of five years. A
certificate of member Of the Academy Of Me-
dicine proves that the child was both deaf and
dumb from its BIRTH The miraculous process OF
the Baron was evident, for at the end Of three
sittngs the child heard and repeated every word
pronounced in its presence. We have seen this
ourselves.
assurances have been given us, which we
dare not doubt, that the Baron has cured nineteen
persons similarly afflicted"

BETROTIIED VS.. MOTHER.

A singular and painful litigation has recently
been in progress at Boston; one which to all
kindly hearts must cause regret, although none
can fail to sympathise with the feeling in which
it originated. The suit was in replevin-brought
by mother to obtain possession Of watch and
portrait formerly belonging to her dead son. The
defendant was young lady to whom the son
was betrothed, and it was clearly proved that
the watch and picture had been given to her by
the deceased just before embarkng for the
voyage on which he was lost. The verdict was
in favor of the betrothed but one hardly knows
whether most to rejoice with her, or grleve with
the mother, at tl., issue of contest FOR the sad
memorials so highly priced and so eagerly desired
by them both.--N Y Com. Advertiser.

AMERICAN PRISONERS AT VAN
DIEMAN'S LAND,

While the public sympathy has been de-
handed for Mcleod, is it not due to human
ity that the American prisoners, engaged in
the Canada incursions in the 1888, and now
suffering imprisonment at Van Dieman's
Land, should not be altogether overlooked!-
In most cases, these we're young men, OF re-
putable familics--farmcrs residing on the
frontier counties-who, n,isled by the feeling
then abroad, were induced to invade the ter
ritory of nation with whom we were at
peace. II is not claimed that they were
wrongfully convicted. But as no possible
good can be attained by their farther punish
mcnt-as they have already suffered as much
as the public good, or the claims Of national
justice, can be supposed to require-it is to
be hoped that the British government will
allow them to return to their families and
friends. Our government may not claim
their discharge perhaps il may think il
Ought not to interfere-but we see no inn
proprety on their part in calling the attcn-
ton of the British authorities to this subject
and inviting them to an act of clemency that
would rebound far more to their credit than
disadvantage. In another column will be
foand list of the prisoners sent from Upper
Canada.-.4rgus.

enough, he did sigh he gave long gasp, at
the same time raising and gently waving his

minutes, when they ceased entirely. His whole

chest heaved; his legs ,rembled, and he occa-
sionaly raised his right arm. These effects

NAY DAY.

Tomorrow is May-Day; but alas how shall
We celebrate it! where will the gfls get the
flowers to bind their brows and crown the May
Day Queen! Not solitary wild tlower-,o

made its appearance and alteough we are
greeted with the song Of birds, and checrcl
with glorious sunshine-yct the croaker,
who was wont aforetime to make night vocal
with his sIbberish, now sits upon log, chatters
his teeth, and calls that music, we suppose -
Butinever mind girls-turn out-range the fields
make the woods ring again with meriment
and if the primrose and the violet do not spring
up at the bidding, our word for it, you will re-
turn with fresher bloom upon the cheek, vital
organs refreshed and invigoratcd, and hearts bet
ter attuned to the melody of nature. ~ value
every custom (says Irving) that tends 10 infusc
poctical feeling into the people, and to swceten
and soften the rudeness OF rustic name RS, with.
out destroying their simplicity. Indeed it is to
the decline Of this happy simplicity tina, the de-
cline of the custom may be traced and the rural
dance on the green, and the homely May-day
pageant have gradually disappeared, in proper
ton as the common people have become ey.
pensve and artificial in their pleasures, and too
knoping for simple enjoyment" But,
To him who hath an ear for melody,
Who loves earths natural music, where no harp
OF curious make by mans device is framed
To measure sounds by arbitrary laws
How manifold the III nlstrtsy that swes
From her voiced nstruments-he walks abroad
And nature Is altuncd 10 harmony
Earth caught her music when the morning stars
Welcomed the stranger TO the galaxy;
And ever since there's no, thing that lives

To him whose ear is welded TO the wire,
And 10 the VOLS smooth vouptuou> trlls.
The stream that through the untrodden desert flows

The first white snow drop, and the las, brown flower
| That leans its whered cheek on winters breast,
| Hold eloquent converse with the changing year
Formerly great account was made OF the day
in the old world-Kings and Queens participat
ing in its fcstivites--and the fair reader vii
find chapter on our last page giving some ide;
of the character Of its observance. Some at
tempts have been made Of late years by men o
taste and learning in England to rally back tn,
popular feeling to this standard ofprimitve sim
pc,y; but the time seems 10 have gone by 70
there as here, the finer feelings OF our natur,
have become chilled by habits of gain and traffic

APPALLING SURGICAL OPERATION

An "eye witness" furnishes the Richmond
Wing with the following account of surgical
operation performed in that City on the l4th inst.
The subject was negro woman % years OF
arr, afflicted with os'co-sarcoma, extending from
te chin to the articulation of the lower jaw with
the temporal bone. The negro had been sent
f:om \. Carolina to receive whatever benefit
the resources of surgery promised her and after
consultation, DR.. Warner determined to remove
hall Of the lower jaw, with the diseased mass at
tached thereto. The patient was placed in the
sitting posture and secured by strong bands to
the char-the head being supported by an as
sisant. The operation commenced by remove
ing the two left lncis or teeth. An incsion was
then made from the left angle of the mouth to a
point about half an inch in front of the left ear,
so as to command the left articulation of the jaw.
A second incison was carried perpendcuarly
from the termination Of this an inch below the
angle of the java third incision along the cen
ter of the lower lip extending downwards upon
the neck an inch below the jaw. All the parts
enclosed in these incisions were dssected off
and turned down upon the neck, exposing the en-.
tire half of the lower jaw with the diseased mass
The jaw was separated by the use of lIcv's saw
in line a little to the left of the centre of the
chin.-By rapid dissection, the lower jaw was
separated from is attachments within the mouth
This was followed by cutting the insertion oil
the temporal muscle to the coronoid process,
and the Decentralization Of its attachment TO the
| left temporal bone The remaining steps ofthe
operation consisted in dissecting out the dseas-
ed lone, and tying the bleeding vessels. No
one bu, spectator can imagine the appalling
horrors Of this operation, with the frightful expo
sure Of the cavity the mouth which resulted
the cavity Oft the throat, the whole extent Of the
tongue, the hideous row Of teeth in the upper
jaw, all being brought into view The removal
of the diseased jaw occupied about twenty min
utcs, and would have been accomplished in
much shorter time, but for the constant struggles
of the patient. The parts were then snugly re-
placed, and the patient put to bed, and, | am
happy to state, is now Con the sixth day after the
operaion) doing remarkably well, with the fiat
tering prospect Of recovery. In justice to the
operator, cannot withhold my testimony to his
frmness and sef-possession for while every
spectator was horror stricken at the magnitude
and severity of the operation, his countenance
was calm exhibiting proper union OF confidence
determination, and benevolence.
