EXTRAORDINARY SURGICAL OPERATION.
John Bala, a lad Is years of age, of
Allegheny City, had received some six
months ago. an injury on the right leg
by fall, in consequence of which the
whole shaft of the bone had become de-
cayed. To save the limb, DR.. Walter
removed last week, while the boy was
under the influence of chloroform, the
main bone of the leg from the knee to
the ankle, by extirpation.
Incredible as it may appear to the
non-professional, that limb could be
saved and be made useful, by the re-
moval of the whole of its main bone,
still, experience has taught that new
bone, will be rapidly regenerated in
childhood, and that the shape, length
and usefulness, of the limb, will be
preserved. This is a trial of modern
surgery, thus to save limb, while it is
blessing to the afflicted to be restored
without mutilation. The boy is doing
well. free from pain, and his recovery
appears to be certain.-Piasburgk Jour

II ENTIRE SATISFACTION seems to be given
10 all who make use of STABLER'S ANO-
DYNE CHERRY EXPECTORANT and
DIARRHGA CORDIAL. At least such is
the assertion made by some thirty odd of the
most respectable merchants of Maryland, Vir-
ginia and North Carolina, who states that they
have never known any remedies to be so ef-
icient as these in the diseases for which they
are prescribed. This, although very crafty
ing, is not singular, when it is remembered
that the recipes from which these medicines
are compounded are in strict accordance with
medical science, their component parts careful
ly selected from pure and unadulterated drugs,
and approved by hundreds of experienced
physicians. For Coughs, Colds, and diseases
of the lungs and throat, the Anodyne Cherry
Expectorant is believed to be unequaled,
while the Diarrhea Cordial is the best remedy
know for diseases of the bowels See descrip-
tivepamphlets, to be had gratis of the agents.
Price for each, only so cents, or six bottles for
$3.50.

fishes the following account of a model
Jury of the olden times:
About eighty years ago a man came
to his end by a casualty at the Isles of
Shoals, and coroner from Portsmouth
visited the island to make an inquest
Twelve jurors were summoned from
those who were first met with, and di-
rected to sit on the body. They went
into the house, and soon some of them
returned, and informed the coroner that
he would hold but siz. They were
again instructed and sent in. They re-
ported that he was drowned. They
were again sent back for further investi-
CATION. In due time, they returned with
the report that they had notched on one
stick all his good deeds they could find,
and on another all his bad ones. The
latter numbered most, and therefore
they gave their verdict that he had gone
to the wicked place. One of his good
qualities was reported to be, that he
could carry a can of flip at arms length
around the island, and not spill drop.

For the Democrat.

MIR. EpIroE | should like to ask through
your pa per why there is so much rreguiar'ty IN
the mails on The Charlotte & So. Ca. Raj! Road.
WHY is it that letters mailed in Columbia ana
other intervening offices, miscarry before lhey
get to their proper offices in Meckenburg! And
why is it That the fortunate few, that do safely
arrive al their destined places, are five days IN
making the trip, whereas, they ought to 60 III SO
many hours! There is a screw loose some
where there is something rotten in the State
OF Denmark" II these things were rare occur
rences, would bear it patiently, hat when we
are the recipients of only half the laVors our
friends send US, it becomes intolerable do not
wish to cast reflections on the Conductors Of the
Cars, the mail carriers, but believe the fault is
in one or both of two Postmasters, either in
Winnsboro' or Charlotte, or BOTH | am prepared
TO say, from sufficient evidence, that there neg
gence in The former place. And the excuse is
that the time allowed for distributing the different
mails is too limited 70: the Post Master to be &C.
curate in separating the different packages. 1t is
passing strange that the Cars cannot detain long
enough for this and yet go 100 miles in n hours.
Or if this is possible, lei the time for the Cars
be or even hours, rather than have the COM
muny much annoyed by this irreguarity.
Public opinion demands either reform or q re-
moval in some place along this line. And it is
hoped that, for the public good, to which Govern.
ment ought always to have an eye, this thing will
be attended TO- YOX POPULI.

and complimened our friends on the unanimity
which existed on the subject Of the proposed Road

The Homestead bill, in the shape in which II
came from the House. was an apple OF discoru III
the democratic party, threatening Iissensioh 'a
moment when that party can i'll afford 10 indulge
in any differences leading 10 alienation.
To avoid this evil the Senator from virginia
GMr Hunter undertook to prepare a bill whlch'
while il embodied principles acceptable 10 the
friends ofthe Homestead bill, avoided those iea'
lures which gave rise TO insuperable objections 10
no easv one. for it was necessary not only to &C.
complish this union of the party upon the question:
but to do il in such manner as to render thls
great issue, upon which the democratic parry
pants ITSELF impregnable against all attacks from
The combined opposition.
In this endeavor, the Senator from Virginia has
succeeded in accomplishing measure alike Inc
most difficult in arrangement and important IN lis
bearings. 1t will have the post of honor on the
democratic standard.
In the final vote so entire was the ratification
by the democratic party, that not a single member
Of the party appeared in opposition. !
Thus has the democratic party great rallyIng
point, around which its members will Aock where
ever the proud standard of the party is unfured.
The great popularity OF the democratic party is
its fearIessness in proclaiming its principles, and
boldly fighting up to them.
The loosencss in the democratic ranks is occa-
stoned by the fact that Its opponents have aban-
doned every issue upon Whlch they n"Ye nltnerto
opposed il. Like an army after great victory, in
which its enemy has been overthown and utterly
allowed looser discipline; but the time has now
come for the drum to beat to arms and for the
democrats to rally around their standard.
The motley crew in opposition propose, as their
PLATFORM the abandonment of every principle, and
the combination of every heterogeneous clique and
ism in the land. The rumsel!er and the temper
ance are 10 forget their euds, whig, abolition
and freeso, tariff and anti.tarff-every shade,
hue and color are to unite under the new standard
of opposition to the democratic pary-rhat stan.

&C. We are gratifed to see that the President
has given his approval 10 the bill approprlating
$4,000, for the purpose of removing the OBJ
s,ructions at the mouth of Cape Fear River, and
otherwise to improve the harbor Of the port of
Wilmington. Though we are opposed to the bill
making appropriations for the rivers and harbors,
YET there are reasons why this one should be
made The Instructions were caused by work
erected by the Federal Government, and it is but
right that it should have them removed. This is
the principle alone which induced the President TO
sanction it.

FUTURE HoUsEKEEPERs.-We sometimes catch
ourselves wondering how many OF the young la
dies whom meet with to perform the part
of housekeepers, when the young men who now
eye them SO admIringly have persuaded them to
become their wives. We listen to those young
ladies of whom we speak, and hear them not only
acknowledging, but boasting of their ignorance of
all household duties, as if nothing would lower
them in the esteem Of their friends the confess
sion Of an ability to bake bread and pies, or cook
piece Of meat, disposition to engage in any
useful employment. Speaking from our own
youthful recollection we are free TO say that taper
fingers and lily white hands very pretty TO
look at with young mans eyes, aud sometimes
we have known the artless innocence of practical
knowledge displayed by young miss to appear
rather interesting than otherwise. But we have
lived long enough to learn that life is full OF rug
ged experiences, and that the most loving roman
tic and delicate people must live cooked or 9TH
erwise prepared food. and in homes kept clean and
tidy by industrious hands. And for all practical
purposes Of married life, it is generally found that
for the husband TO sit and gaze at wife's taper
fingers and lily hands, for wife to 81! and be
looked at and admired, does not make the pot boil
or put the smallest piece of food in the pot.
