Gbe Nous D!eauer,

The following account OF a noteworthy sur
gical operation recently performed by Dr. Ru-
blee, of this village, is taken from tho last
Christian Repository.
OPERATIONS ON EYEs.-A Mr. Hazard, of
this village, aged about rs, has been entirely
blind in one eye for three years, and in the other
about two months, with what is called q 'cata-
ract.' Within a few days, DR.. c. M. Ruhee,
Oculist, OF this place, has operated on the eye
longest blind, and with perfect success. The
cataract in that eye is entirely removed, and the
old man is ovorjoyed in seeing again, as he says,
'as well as ever.' We saw and conversed with
him yesterday. The eye appears perfectly nat
ursl, and is free from inflammation, easy and
well. This is but one of the many cases in
which DR.. Rublee has proved himself a scientific,
skillful, optical surgeon. This knowledge and
skill he has aquired by patient study and wit
Messing operations by the best Oculists in the
Hospitals of Paris and New York. We feel the
fullest confidence in assuring those who have
diseased eyes, that it is entirely unnecessary for
Thorn to 90 to the Cities to have operations per-
formed on their eyes, as, in our judgment, Dr.
Rublee is as skillful in these matters as the
best of them.

Our unbelieving contemporary Of the Rutland
Herald, who throws discredit over q late account
in the Freeman of bull falling II feet from a
ledge, in Charlotte, without essential injury, is
informed that no can be assured of its entire
truth by applying to almost any citizen Of that
town.
"SMALL BUSINESS FOR GREAT NAN. There
is a law of Congress making it the duty of ev-
cry postmaster to publish the letters remaining
in his Office certain time, in the newspaper
having the greatest circulation within the range
of the delivery of such office, yet the editor Of
the Patriot, knowing that both the Freeman and
Repository each have larger Circulation theil
ofhisown paper still persists, in violation of that
law, in publishing those letters himself.
