A LUCKY ESCAPE.

Some time ago, a subject was brought in n

MESMERlSM AND SURGERY.

AT the invitation of DR.. Homer Bostwick %
No. 70 Chambers-sl. we Witnessed on Frda,
Surgical Operation upon patient in the
state of Mesmcric Sleep. The operation
was performed at No. 1872 Church.s. and
consisted in the removal of an adiposc tumoI
from the back. The patient was colured
woman mined Emelne Brown, servant in
the family of Rev. DR.. IIiebie. She was
magnclizrd by Daniel Oltz, Of No. so Cham
bers-st assisted by +. J. Pike. After the
patient had been thrown into the proper
state, Mr. OIz left the room, but Mr. Pike
remained and held her hand during the op-
Grafton. The object of this, as we under
stood, was to ensure her continuance in -
state OF perfect Inconsistencies. Onlv five
minutes were occupied in manre,izino the
patient. She sat in chair, her head thrown
forward ard resting On le. There was
every indication Of state Of perfect uucon-
scionsnrSs.
Dr. BpStw rk, before commencing the OPP
GRAFTON, stated that he had been rnli el> skrp-
lical on III" snhjrc', bat bad dr>i,cd in ibis

had MT known the patient uutil some ihtrc
days previously. aud had magnetic g! her on
~ some four or five times. II d.. Dosjwick's
request. Mr. Pike had never seen her pre-.
vlous to the time fixed for the experiment.
The magnrrizor having pronounced the
patient in the proper state, Dr.. Bnsruick las
sisted by DIS. Samuel Il. Guilds and john
St"hrS,) proceeded with the operation. lie
INST made an lncisi0n abou, eight inches in
length across the lumor, and then proceeded
TO remove it by the usual process. The op-
GRAFTON lasted three minutes and required no
small amount of cutting. We stood within
two feet of the patient, and watched her mar
row'y. There was no muscular twichinc
and no manifestation whatever of sensihi,y
TO pain, or even of consciousness. A phys.
clan examined the pulse and said it was dnite
natural, though somewhat ieeblcr, perhaps,
than usual. A dead body could not have
exhibited stronger insensibiily to pain. The
tumor weighed ten ounces. 1 he wound did
not bleed near as protuscy as such wounds
do when the patient is in natural state
l he Whole operations Of removing the tumor
aud dressing the wound occupied just half an
pour.
The wound having been dressed, and the
garments OF the patient adjusted, Mr. Ollz
awohc her by few passes, which occupied
less than minute. Her appearance WAS
much Ike that Of a person suddenly aroused
from ordinary sleep. Questions were put to

performed, and that she would have to he

his men to parade wilhou, arms, and the

i'hc remainder of the troops arrived after
the fort WAS taken, and the prisoners, consis-
ting ola Captain, Licntenani, and toriy-cight

Hartford under an escort.
As soon as the buslle was over, Allen sent
of detachment to take Grown Point, "A
smaller fortress higher up the lake. Strong
head winds drove back the boats, and the
party returned the same evening. The at
tempt was made IA day or two afterwards, and
the garrison, consisting Of a sergeant and rle-
ven men, were brought in prisoners. The
principal advantages of these captures, be-

AMI is that Lake George! Surely it is
and how vivily its glossy surface calls up
visions Of the past. The names Of Horizon
Lake George, Saint Sacrament, together
with the forms Of shavrn priests, bearing
away the holy water, all come in vivid re-

light canoe, bounding silently over the blue
waves, AMI the swift glancing after the uu-
conscious deer, of the barhed arrow. The
dreamy things of the past crowded thick on
the mind, and we felt ourselves associated bv
sympathy, with the suarlhy sons of the for
est, who reared their rude wigwams on the
borders of the peaceful lake.. Then, indeed
il was holy water-no blood had iineed its
waves, and no hostile banner, or foreign can
vass had flung their folds above it on the
gale.
