sent ne should be carried, and in spirit.

During the absence of the committee b. 8
Massey, ESP, was called upon, and addressed
the Convention at some length. His remarks
were characterised by plain, practical, sound
sense, and were calculated to imbue the audi
ence with the same good feeling for the sue
cess OF the enterprise which he evidently felt
himself
On the return of the committee the Chairman
presented the following Resolutions, prefacing
them by an able and eloquent address, replete
with mass of facts pertinent to the subject,
which were not, as is usual on such occasions,
gathered from the fields of imagination. The
advantages of the enterprise to the farmer, mer-
chant, and capitalist, were concl lsively shown,
far .ontweighing their cost, which he with char.
acteristic honesty of purpose put down at the
highest rate : his estimat. being fully third
greater than what was paid for the construction
of a similar road in North Carolina.
81 He was followed by ). B. Massey, Esq, who
strongly seconded his views, giving them adj
di.ional weight, by the practical nature of his
remarks, they being entirely the result OF per
sonal observation.
The Resolutions were then unanimously
adopted. 8

SURGICAL OPERATION BY DIR.
Morn. We find the following b'icf
report of an operation by DIR. Mott,
at the University, few days ago, in
Noah's Times:
Avoung man had tumor growing
out OF one OF his nos:riIs. 1t came, in
time, to fill the whole cavity. and So
extensively and firmly attached. that
j, was impossible TO pull it out with
lorccps, as is done with polypi. The
WORTHY professor put Oh his consider.
inc cap. and studied out an operations;
and then, to make all sure, he per
formed il on dead body. Satisfied
of its praclicablIitv he began. First.
he made n straight incison from the
inner corner of the eye TO the mouth.
through the upper lip; then dlssected
the lie n from the bone, so as to turn
all the ileshy part of the nose over
upon the other side of the FACE. This
done. he sawed through the bone, and
by a nice piece Of carpenter work.
laid open the whole extent OF the
nostrii. The tumor was now expos
cd, cut loose, and easily extracted,
and the patient got well. without any
Disagreement, but a line where the
fieshy parts were united. This was
an ingenious. bold and most success
ful operation.

Amful Steam Boat Accident.-One
Muired Lires Lost.-A terrible steam
boat disaster, attended by fearful loss
Of life, occurred this morning about
one O'Clock. The splendid steamer
Belle of the West. which cleared from
this port, loaded with California bound
emirrants, for st Louis, had gone
bu, a mile below Warsaw, Ky. y hen
her boiler hurslcJ. 1t is confidently
asserted that not less than one hun.
dred persons were burned to death
and drowned. The scene that ioI
lowed the cx Ilosion is represented as
having been Que Of the most awful
ever witnessed on the Western rivers
The officers saved Il cir lives 10y in,
mcdia,ely jumping overheard and
swimming ashore. The Belle of the
West was owned in this city, and was
insured for $4,000. She is said to be
totally lost.
MADISON, April %.
An eve witness to the horrible
scene attending the destruction of the
Belle Of the West. which. it appears
was burnt instead of having burst her
boiler, furnishes some facts in conncc.
ton with the calamity. He says that
the fire was discovered about II
o'clock in the held, and she was i'm.
mcdiatc Y run ashore. Sic was fast
and stage pIankS run out. upto this
moment the flames lad not burst forth
The alter hatch was then raised for
the purpose OF getting water into the
hold, but so rapid was the rush of the
flames that all efforts to quclI them
were of no avail. and the entire boat
became a blazing ruin. The total
number of passengers is estimated at
four hundred, among whom were two
companies Of California cmigrants.
and about thirty families removing
Westward. 1t is asce'taincd from
the register that over sixty SOUS
persisted, and probably as many more
have been lost. whose names were
not enrolled. Such was the progress
OF the fire that before the passengers
could get out OF the state rooms all
communication between the after
cabin aud the forward part Of the
boat was cut of, and all either were
compelled to jump overheard or perish
in the flames. AT the time the deck
fell in, lady and gentleman. with "A
child m his arms, we're standing be-
tween the chimnics. A large number
of horses and cattle were burnt to
death.

A DoCToR's JoKE.--A well known
physician, in a certain city. was very
much annoyed by an old lady who
was always sure 10 accost him IN the
street. for the purpose OF telling over
her ailments. Once she met HIM
when he was in very great hurry. .
"hh! see YOU are quite feeble,
said the doctor; "shut your eyes and
show me your tongue"
She obeyed. and the doctor moved
of leaving her standing there for some
time in this ridiculous position. 10 the
infinite amusement of all who wit
messed the funny scene.
