Novel Surgical Operation.

A gentleman by the name of ---- resident of
this Borough submitted to somewhat painful op-
Grafton on his nose few weeks ago, for the pur-
pose of having deformity removed in the shape
Of bony cartilaginous tumor on that organ, which
not little deformed his face. The operation
was performed by our Townsman DR.. C. G. Field
by making an incsion from the root to the point
OF the nose and dissec,ng up the integuments to
the base of that organ so as to completely expose
the whole nose stripped of its skin. The eleva-
ted bone cartilage, &C., was then cut away with
strong knives, gouses and ies. The nose being
smoothed and trimmed off with the greatest ex-
actitude and modelled to suit his fancy the integ
uments which had been laid aside, were again
brought over the nose and secured with fine su-
ture and adhesive plaster. The hemorrhage was
profuse, and the pain intense, but he was neither
intimidated by the former, or writhed under the
latter, but bore all. with true German heroism.-
After the nose was dressed, he examined it close
it now appeared too long to him, and undismayed
at what he had undergone, he determined on hav-
ing the superabundant length cut off. 1t was ac-
cordingly done much to his satisfaction and pleas
ure. We learn that the parts have handsomely
united, and left him with that, he so ardenly de-
sired, and for which he suffered so much, beau
tiful nose. What makes the operation more ln-
terestng s the fact that he submitted to it for the
purpose of gratifying his lady love, who refused to
have him. unless he consented to have his nose
altered to suit her fancy II Easton Argus.

to correct an error which had been gem

In the course of these remarks, says

the popular story, which associated his
name so much with the political campaign
of last summer, during which he figured
in SO many pictures with a scroll, upon
which was painted the celebrated order
said to have been given him by General
Taylor at Buena Vista-"A little more

ted this as fancy sketch altogether. No
such occurrence took place on the field Ct
