days ago in the practice of DR.. A. G
Walters, ofthis city. George Keeny
a resident of indianapolis, has had for
the last ten years an obstruction in the
vision of the right eye, occasioned by
the presence off, living body, which
foated or moved in the liquid of the an
terror chamber of the eye. 1t was
quite small at first, but within year OF
two had so increased in size and activity
as not only to obstruct the vision, but be
productive of great pain.
Two attempts had been made by emf.
nent surgeons in Cincinnati and Louis.

little animal succeeded in eluding cap.
ture. The patient put himself under
the care of DR.. w. who succeeded il
relieving him, by making an incisior
into the eye, only large enough to allow
of the introduction of minute pair Of
forceps, and carefully guarding agains,
the aqueous humor, which baffled the
other surgeons, as when the animal
found it leaving him, it slipped into the
the posterior chamber of the eye, could
not be reached. He thus seized and
removed it. 1t was a worm, about one
eight of an inch in length, by six

active.
After catching the worm, the Doctor
was compelled to enlarge the incision on
the cornea, for the purpose of removing
it. Gases similar to the present have
been occasionally observed, and the
worms are similar to these found fre-
quently in the stomach, and sometimes,
though very rarely, in the inner ear,
from which, in case in Pittsburgh, DR..

py- A petition of sundry females Of
Brattleboro, VT, for the privilege Of
being allowed to vote, has been present
ed in the Vermont Legislature. Let
themIvote, if they want to. 1t tappears to
us that the ultra advocates of "Woman's
Rights" are rather running the thing
into the ground" But we venture to
say that the shortest way to prevent
sundry females" from voting, would
be to pass an act permitting them to do
SO, for we presume that as soon as they
should have the privilege of voting it
would lose its charm. The possession
of toy is very apt to destroy the value
Of it.

DsD~ By reference to another column,
it will be seen that the Citizens Brass
Band, of this place, assisted by String
Band, and the Westerly Glee Club, will
favor the citizens of Ashaway and
vicinity, with recherche musical enter
tainment, on Saturday evening next, at
the Chapel. The Brass Band has for a
length of time been under the training
of Prof. Lowry, a gentleman competent
to the task undertaken, and is composed
of some of the first musical talent of the
village. We have had the pleasure of
hearing it a number of times, and we
consider it an honor to the place. The
String Band and Glee Club, we have
never had the pleasure ofhearing. But
knowing them to be composed of gen.
tlemen of good attainments in musical
science, we doubt not they will ably
sustain the efforts of the Brass Band to
afford pleasant entertainment for the
evening. Altogether, we thing ourselves
safe in promising our Ashaway friends
rich treat.

B1- We have been informed

4H- We have been informed by a
friend Of Mrs. Myra Gaines that this
lady passed through Wilmington a few
days since, and told her, while here, that
an old gentleman who has for long
time resided in the West Indies, waited
upon her (Mrs. Gaines,) some time
since, and said he was present when her
mother was duly married to her father,
Daniel Clark of which fact he was
ready to bear testimony. That the lack
of satisfactory proof of this fact was the
sole cause of her former defeats in her
efforts to recover her estate and that
upon the existence of this evidence
being made known to the defendant in
a suit now pending in the Louisiana
Courts, he became fully satisfied of her
right to recover, and therefore offered
to purchase the property at a fair
equivalent, which she has accepted
since which transaction, Mrs. Gaines
says that she has compromised with
nearly all the possessors of her fathers
lands, for large sum of money in the
aggregate, the payment of which viii
soon be secured to her. Wilmington

wish our patrons thankful hearts, full
tables, and a thought for the needy.
1t makes our mouth water, as we pass
along the street, to see the large turkies

we expect we shall have to dine on
" cold wittles," that is, if we dine at all
but we trust we are thankful for even
that.

Now we should advise our sapient
Legislature to get itself together and
try the thing over once more, and the
probability is that the vote would be,
judging from the increase since last
June, all on one side. The vote is not
a party one at all but it seems to have
been free fight, joined in by Wings,
Democrats, Free Soilers, Temperance
men and Rummies.

is elected delegate to Congress from
the territory Of New Mexico, does not
understand word of English and will
be obliged therefore, to remain silent
MEMBER" or talk gibberish which the
other members can no more understand
than ne can understand them. Now, as
a delegate can do nothing in Congress
but talk (having no right to vote, it is
a little difficult to see of what earthly
use he can be to his constituents or the
country, and we don't see but it would
be as well for him to walk Spanish"
straight back to Santa Fe. There is
one thing to be said on this subject,
however, if he cannot understand Eng
lish, he will be nearly as well off as those
who understand it well-in listening to
the eloquence of some of the men who
are sent to Congress as full members,
for the latter luminaries use very little
English in their speeches.

Bay" A remark was once truthfully
made by Ralph w. Emerson, that the
girl at the spinning frame tied broken
thread so carelessly, that when the
fabric was woven and dressed it was i'm
perfect, and the master traced it back
To the girl who carelessly caused it, and
she was made to pay the damage. So
it will be with us, if We do not exert a
good influence on society; there will be
a damaged woof, a faulty thread, and
the Great Master will trace the fault to
its source.

DA~ We are amused at the fashion

Day" We are amused at the fashion
the ladies have nowadays, of changing
their names from Mary, Priscilla, Fanny,
Jane, Rebecca, &C., to Marie, Priscillie
or Sillie, Fannie, Jennie, Beckie, &c.
Even in marriage notices, we see these
diminutives given, instead of the names
the young ladies were christened by.
Doubtless the gentlemen will follow suit,
and we shall soon have Tommies, Dickics,
Eddies, Billies, &C., just as our great
grandfathers had. The generation before
this thought it had achieved a triumph
of good taste in abolishing these childish
tcrminations, but folly dies hard. OF
course, we do not mean to object to pet
names, used towards and by suitable
persons, and at proper time.

n1" The Atlas gives some interesting
facts in relation to the destruction OF
vessels belonging to the United States,
deduced from the marine reports and
other resources. 1t appears that for
a period of eighteen months, ending in
September of the present year, lO3
ships and barks, Id brigs, and 327
schooners, were totally lost at sea.
During the same period SO vessels which
had previously sailed were never heard
from, 33S put into port in distress, and
lo2 wrecks were passed. This is, says
the writer, a total loss for the given
period of one every 90 hours /; one
stranded every forty-four hours; one
abandoned every rs hours, and one
never heard from every ten days.
