q Remarkable Cure.-We witnessed a
few days since, successful Termination
in The treatment Of case of Double Club
foot. A boy, about Is years Of age, who
had been from Infancy afflicted with this
deformity, was placed by Ills parents after
many Intellectual efforts for relief, under
the treatment of DR.. L. "A. Dugas ofour
city. 1t was singular case. The feet
were turned inwards; the heel was eleva-
led several inches from the ground; The soles
flhe feet turned upwards and backwards,
and the whole weight oflhe body rested, /,
when The boy was. standing on properly,
the outer side Of the feet. When moving,
the labor of lifting one foot oyerthe other,
and the unnatural position in which they
rested upon the ground, rendered The boy
and object Of fcommiseration to all who saw
him. He was under treatmen, for several
weeks. A successful surgica! operation
soon enabled the boy to place his fee, in
their proper position, and piece Of
mechanism, which confined his feel for sew
eral hours each day to this position, enabled
him finally 10 move naturally and with al
most perfect ease.
We notice This the more readily as we
understand it is among the first Of such
cases in which the treatment has termin-
ated successfully in our Stale.

all the lenderest and most delicate infection Of
life were entwined, for her meek and quiet spi-

We copy the following paragraph from
the Boston Daily Advertiser of 10Th in-

"BenDett's Herald of Sunday contains
a letter from Washington, in which it is
asserted that there was an important rumor
in town, 'that there had been letter re-
ceived in the city from Mr.. Clay, in which
he takes ground in favor of Texas" We
have no doubt the rumor is entirely untrue.
Mr.. Clay on the contrary has expressed
his opinion decidedly against the annexa-
