HAIR.-A medical journal says; " A little girl
aged three years, of good health in general, had
her hair grow excessively long during the course
of a few months. She was a beautiful child, but
had Utterly wasted without any apparent cause,
becoming dull and apathetic, losing her appetite
and strength, without any organic lesion being
discsmable. She was placed upon a tonic regi-
men, with chalybeates, but without deriving any
material benefit until her hair was cut off, at the
suggestion Of FRIEND from which time she rapidly
gained strength"

Gazette mentions the escape of Abbott under the
following circumstances.
On Monday night last the man Abbott whom we
mentioned two weeks ago as the murderer of his
brother-in-law, Brown, escaped from the debtors
Jail in this place. Why he was not confined in
the felon's cell, we are at loss to know probably
some Of our parish officers can answer the question
1t is certainly very unusual occurrence for men
committed to prison for the perperatonO the high
est crime known under our laws to be permitted 10
have their families with them, as was the case with
Abbott and at the same time to be locked up in
the most unsafe room in the whole iail-a room
from which prisoners could escape with IMMUNITY.
We trust this matter will undergo some investga-
ton, as there is eulpability somewhere. On Tues
day morning, at sunrise, the assassin was seen
twenty-five miles west of this place, mounted on a
horse, and making pretty fine time towards Texas.

lMPoRTANT SURGICAL OPERATIoN-The Bulle-
tin Of yesterday morning has an account of diff.
cult operation in surgery, performed few days ago
by DR.. Stone upon negro girl about fifteen years
old. The Bulletin says:
For some ten years past the girl has had a bony
tumor growing on the left side Of her lower law
which had increased to such a size that it almost
prevented the utteraDce ofspeech. She was placed
under the care of DR.. Stone, who, with his com
petent assistant, Dr. McIlhenny, performed the re-
quired operation in the most successful manner
Even to person skilled in surgery, it appeared to
be most dangerous one, while to one unacquainted
with the science, II seemed daring in the highest
degree. Not understanding the technical terms of
anatomy, can only give an idea of it BY stating
in non-prOfessiona language, that the girl was ex-
tended on a low table, and put under the influence
of chlOrOfOrm. The moment her faculties were
suspended, semi circular inCison was made from
the centre Of the chin, and extending over the
cheek, as far back as the point of the Jaw nearest
the ear The whole of the left side of the face
was then laid bare by the knife and exposed TO The
bone. DIR. Stone then, with a saw, divided the
bone through the centre of the chin, through what
is called the symphyss, to point about an inch
from the joint near the ear; and them with a sur
geOns chisel, took the piece out. The whole ope-
ration lasted about eight minutes, and the wound
was bandaged properly before the patient awoke
from her sleep. Without any assistance she got
up from the table, and walked to her room, per.
iecty ignorant of what had been done until in
formed OF II pyone OF the servants. Dr. Mellhenny
followed her up stairs, in few minutes, and found
her sitting in a chair, enjoying with great glee a
! recital Of the operation. We saw her Yesterday
and could hardly recognize her as the same gir
whose deformed face attracted our attention wher
| visiting the hospital fortnight ago. She will be
| discharged cured Today or tomorrow. The weight
| Of the tumOr with the bone is about ten ounces
| We can give an idea of its side only by comparing
/ it to an ordinary pint tumbler. We are ex-
tremely gratfed to be able say that the girl iBds
no difficulty whatever in eating as the right Jaw
| still retains all its power in full vigor.'

The correspondent Of the Balti-

ting from this city under date Of June

Col. Gardner the present city post
master, entered the army in the same
year with Gen. Taylor-in 1908.
They are old acquaintance, bu; this
was no guarantee for his continuance
in office, and Ne has to 60 out d it.

by Mr. Ewing for Commissioner Of
Public Buildings, and voted down in

backed up strongly by Col Seaton, Of
the National Intelligeneer," it is
said; and Mr.. Jacob Gideon. whose
son is the publisher Of the rRepub
llic," was preferred by Mr.. Collamer
We all expected that - 8ideon
would be appointed, an mps were
in the hands Of the other layers, and
people say the old organ tfiumphed

state publicly that appointments are
determined by vote in the cabinet, we
think it is neither creditable nor hon
orablein the wing press to charge US
with misrepresenting Gen. Taylor,
when we say he has abdicated the
cabinet. 1t is a fact, according to
the showing of his own friends, and

ACCIDENT AT NIAGARA FALLs.-A
distressing accident, isstated to have
occurred at the Falls of Niagara, a
few days ago, in consequence OF
three men attempting to cross the
river in a skiff.
As they neared the middle of the
river. the current which at present is
unusually rapid in consequencessof the
protection of the Golfer dams on eth.
err side, speedily overpowered their
efforts to resist it and rising, as if to
view the inevitable death before
them, they were swept, stern on in
to the rapids. Their boat, tossing
from one rockto another in a few
moments was seen to capsize; the
men rose, clinging to the gunwales,
and were hurried on, until an Oppo-
sing rock dashed the boat into irag
ments. Two disappeared at once;
the other was seen erect. the water
to his knees bat in a moment after
he was hurled down and seen no
more.
