I5@We yesterday saw the successful
result of a surgical operation of SO novel
and Ingenious character as TO deserve
mention in our columns. 1t was perfor-
med by DIR. Dixon, Editor of The Seal
pei, upon Mr.. d. Hyslop, of this City,
for cancer of eight years standing, in
yolving the whole of the lower lip. The
membrane lining the lip being sound, the
operation consisted in dissecting off the
diseased part and removing it, leaving
the membrane in its tatural place. Then
two missions were made dow Inward from
the corners of the mouth to the chin, and
the skin covering the latter, being loos-
ened on each side, was crowded up, and
by few delicate stitches connected with
the membrane. When we saw it the lip
was nearly well, and was perfectly nat
ural and symmetrical and when entire
ly healed a slight scar from the cut on
each side of the chin will be the only
trace of the disease, or of the operation
for its removal. 1t forms striking IL

Wool is one Of the great staples which

Inc wealth derivable from the growth of /
J, wool ABSORBED and appropriated BY her
State will shortly rank among the first |
IN furnishing wool for the marts of the
world. We saw yesterday morning a
sample of fine Saxony wool, grown in
this State, ths. would bring iii any mar
ket from eighty-fve to ninety cents per
pound. We also looked over some sam
pies of Merino, grown within twenty
miles Of Richmond, that brought sixty
cents in this market. The grower re-
marked that at such rates he could not
engage in more profitable business
It seems that he had entered upon WOOL
growing merely as an experiment, and
had only ITO sheep in Iris flock. For
this seasons clip lie received about $3.50.
He informed us that he had one hundred
lambs for sale, for which the butchers
had repeatedly offered Sd per head, but
that, as they were full-blooded Merino,
he had sold most of them at $40 each,
and expected no difficulty in selling the
remainder at the same price. At this
rate his profits for single year will be
from $3.50 to ST $50 upon ITO sheep! !
On being asked the annual cost per head
Of feeding them, he replied forty cents
but added, that since their manure was
worth three times that sum- he conclu-
ded that his wool had really cost him
less than nothing. Considerable atten-
lion is now being paid to the growth of
wool upon the poorest lands of Fairfax
and Prince William, and the business is
steadily increasing throughout the whole
Piedmont region, from Harper's Ferry to
the North Carolina line. We doubt not
that even in the tide-water sections of
our State the growth of wool will be
found profitable.-T Richmond Dispatch.

THE MALAY Boy AND THE TIGER.-
"Not long ago, Malay boy was sent
by his parents, who live in the Island of
Singapore, to herd some -buffaloes,
As he was driving the herd home by the
borders of the jungle, tiger made a
sudden spring, and seized the lad by the
thighs and was dragging himo fl. Two old
bull buffaloes, hearing the shrieks Of
their little herdsman, turned round and
directly ran to his help. The tiger,
gored by their horns, was obliged to
drop his prey to defend himself. While
one buffaloe fought, and successfully
drove the tiger away, the other kept
guard over the wounded boy. Later in
the evening, when the anxious father
alarmed, came out with his servants tc
seek his child, he found that the whole
herd, with the exception of the two ole
buifaloes, had spread themselves about
to feed; but that they were still there
one standing over the bleeding body Of
their little friend, while the other kept
watch on the edge of the Jungle for the
return of the tiger. > Keppel.

Tired of Farming.

A few months ago mar who had been
a farmer from his early life, came TO the
city to purchase stoves to sell again.
Said he TO the stove dealer, s'the weevil
begins to iIlfest the wheat and, all things
considered, i am tired of farming and
Ter remarked that ne thought within him
self that just as like as not, the discon-
tented farmer would find a weevil in the
heart of his new business !; and SO it
proved, for when the day arrived on
which the note matured given for stoves,
the old farmer, now turned tradesman.
confessed that he had most of them on
hand.
"Tired of Farming" the most indie
penden tbusiness a man canengage, in be-
cause, forstooth the. e are disappoint-
ments and perplexities trials and yexa-
ton attending it. Remember that you are
the tiller of the soil, that your cares
and thoubles and anexietics are few and
far between, compared with those suffer
ed by commercial men. IF your chances
to become rich are not so inviting and
profitable as those Of the tradesman, bear
in mind that the dangers of being very
poor and destitute are far less. Famine
and abject poverty seldom overtake the
farmer, or haunt him in their ghostly
visits. He lives on the high table land
Of promise, rising far above the murhy
region of want and restitution. His
children can say there is bread enough
in our fathers house, and piece to
spare 10 the hungry Of other less fortu-
nate CT llings.
"Tired Of Farn,ingr" Suppose you
are. What is to be done in such case !?
Do you expect to find an employment
withou. trials and perplexites ? If so,
you are doomed to disappointment
There is no vocation in this world that
will exempt those who engage therein
from cares and fears and vexations. So
! if you are tried of farming, the best way
is to get rested as soon as you can, ard
pros ecute anew the business for which
you were early trained, and which, if
diligently followed, will yield good
supply Of all the necessaries and com
forts of life, together with opportuni-
ties for mental and moral culture

P1NcH1NG IN.-This should be vigor-
ously practised throughout the coming
months with dwarf and other tress.-
To keep luxuriant shoots in check, and
encourage feeble ones to grow should be
our object, that the trees may be COM
pact and stocky and symmetrical rather
than struggling and irregular. 1t is al
SO well to practise it upon rose bushes
that are growing. Lima beans, when
six feet high, and Tomatoes, particular
ly need pinching. Should the buds
break afresh and commence growing d
gain, repeat the operation.
