AN AFFECTING SCENE. The N,

AN AFFECTING SCENE. The New
Haven Courier relates the followlng:-
In lawyers Office in remote part
of this State, lay mortgage for eleven
hundred dollars, which was within
few days OF being due. One morning
the man on whose place the mortgage
was held, called and inquired if the pay
ment could not be put off a short time.
He was man somewhat advanced in
life, and very Incorporate. The lawyer
in reply to his inquiries, said that the
man who held the mortgage wanted the
money-and that he was sorry, but it
could not be extended. The tears came
to the old mans eyes land after standing
few minutesa perfect image Of despair
turned and left the Office. He returned
home believing. that in a few short days his
aged and infrm wife and invalid daug hter
would have to quit the roof which had
SO long sheltered them, and seek for
home he knew not where.
He could say nothing to them about
it, it would cause them so much grief.
The mortgage became due, and in the
morning early the farmer again repaired
to the lawyers office. He pleaded for
a time, but to no purpose. Overcome
with emotion, the old man sank into
a chair, and there sat for two hours,
apparently unconscious of anything that
was passing around him, when carriage
drove up to the door, and lady stepped
from it. She entered the Office. After
standing few moments, cycling the
old man with interest and emotion, she
spoke. The old man looked up.
"Father, how do you do'"

as we can gather them, were as follows:

Queen Victoria refused to 60 to the
last Ascot races, because she does not
approve OF horse-racing, on account of
the gaming and other immoralities al
ways displayed on race courses. So
says an exchange, and we hope truly.
The effect of an example in high places
can hardly be overrated.

REMARKABLE SURGICAL OPERATION.
We take from the Newburgh IN W
Telegraph the following account Of an
interesting operation performed in that
village by DR.. Blackman:-
'The patient daughter of Mr.. Purdy,
of Bloomingdale, Sullivan county, during
an attack Of malignent fever last fall,
lost by modification large portion of
her cheek, together with part Of the
upper jaw-bone. In addition, her jaws
were family closed, SO that she could
not eat and speak without difficulty.
The first operation was the formation
ola new corner, with considerable
portion of under lip, had been destroyed.
Two weeks after this operation, which
was completely successful, a piece of
flesh was cut from the shoulder, cores
ponding exactly to the part Of the cheek
which had been lost, and transplanted to
the face. The patient bore the operation
which lasted nearly n hour, with great
fortitude. The deformity has been en-
tirely removed from her face, and, by
the use of an instrument constructed on
the principle of;he lever-screw, the con,
traction of the mouth has already been
so overcome that she can easily masti-
