IMMIGRANTS IN TIE MoUNTAINs.-Froms some

that there were some fifty wagons and teams il
the mountains. We regret, very much, that during
the snow storm of last week, Il large number O.
the cattle belonging to he teams persisted. The

pletey covered up the little grass there was, and
together with the fatigue incident TO travelling,

EXTRAORDINARY SURGICAL OPERATION. We
learn, says the Boston Journal, that DR.. Warren,
of this city, recently took from the stomach of an
Irish girl, at the Massachusetts, general hospital
by means Of an incsion, tape worm forty-one
feet and eleven inches in length. The operation
was performed while the sufferer was under the
influence of ether. She observed, in coming to
her senses, "Oh! have had pleasant dream,
and feel relieved" The wound was dressed with
great care, and she has scarcely complained of
pain since the operation. This, we are told, is
the only case on record where the tape worm has
been literally cut from the human stomach.

A WORLD OF LOVE AT HOME.
The earth hath treasures fair and bright,
Deep buried in her caves,
And ocean hideth many gem
With his blue curling waves
Yet not within her bosom dark,
Orneath the dashng foam,
Lives there treasure equalling
A world of love at home!
True sterling happiness and Joy
Are not with gold allied,
Nor can it yield pleasure like
A merry .hreside.

In stately nall or dome,

tanned 49,674 whites. and 64,546 saves-total,

New WrNGLEss BIRD--At the meeting of the
I4innean, Dec. II, Mr.. Westwood called the atten-
ton OF the Society to a wingless bird on Lord
Howe's Island-an island situated between New
Holland and Norfolk Island. This spot has been
accidentally visited by Capt Poole of the East
India Company's service, who, considering it q
favorable spot for colonization, had induced six
Irishmen and their wives and families to settle on
It. The place is now one of constant resort for
the supply of water and provisions to the South
Sea whalcrs. As no Government has owned it,,
this island is at present the property of Capt. Poole.
1t is OF considerable extent, and has on it two high
hills which can be seen at a distance of sixteen
leagues at sea. On this island Captain Poole had
discovered the bird in question. 1t is about the
size of rail-and is considered by the settlers as
good eating. Mr.. Westwood thought the an
nouncement of the existence of this bird-which
was not previously known to exist in those regions
would DO received with interest in connection
with the discovery of the extinct wingess birds OF
New Zealand. No specimen has yet arrived in
England, but some are on their way.-AthenGum.

are under obligation to stand still aud let
their property be swept from them under
the cover of darkness, they ought to com
bine and work for the repression of this
desolating vice, though the danger to
which their children and friends are ex-
posed, and the certain, irrevOcable anita
gonism of Gambling to moral and social
we'll being should more strongly urge them
to emphatic resistance.
1t is very easy to cayil at this or that
measure adopted in opposition to some
fashionable vice-to descant on the spy
system'-the employment of repentant
gamblers to expose and arrest the iniqOities
Of the ruinous vocation they have re-
nounced-and the publication of the names
of the votaries of gamipg-but what do
tho cavlers propose How soon would
gambling be arrested by no other opposi-
ton than theirs Is it not the plain right
of gamesters' employers, creditors, endor-
sers, &C., to know who they are He
who is laying down tens, ffties and hun
dreds of dollars on the gaming-table is ne
cessarily risking the property and the hap
piness of others-if he does not lay down
bis employers, his creditors money on
this game, he very probably will do the
next-it is only a question of time. He
is the wrong-doer in seeking to cover his
grmbling with the mantle of secresy-not
they who seek to unmask it and let him
stand before the public the man he truly
is. Those who grumble at the spy sys-
tenn do SO because it operates as check
on their propensities or their gains.
So with regard to the employment of Mr..
Green as the agent of the Anti-Gambling
Association. He was once a Gambler, but
repented of his evil ways, deliberately pre-
ferring poverty with honesty to the ample
gains he formerly secured by gaming. The
Anti Gambling Association employ him be-
cause, confding in his integrity and anxiety
to atone for his past errors, they know him
to be far more efficient in the work than
any agent possibly could be who had no
practical knowledge of gamblers and gam
bling. The gamblers would gladly have
any other man in his. place, because they
knOV he knO1cS them.
We ask all who are able and disposed
70 unite in opposing and REFRESHING fas-
cinetiDg, desolating vice, to procure and
read this Report. Its cost is a trihe, and it
is mainly made up of exposures of vivid
interest.
