REMARKABLE SURGICAL OPERATION
The Pittsburg Journal furnishes the following.
I John Baja, lad of thirteen years of age, son
/of widow lady of Allegheny City, had receiv-
ed some six months ago injury of the right
lee by fall in consequence of which the whole
shaft of the bone had become decayed. To save
the limb, DR. Walker removed, last week, while
the boy was under the influence of chloroform,
the main bone of the leg, from the knee to the
ANGLE, by extrpation.
Incredible as 1T may appear to the non-pro,
tessional, that limb could be saved and made
useful by the removal of the whole Of its ma in
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 triumph of
modern surgery-thus to save a limb-while it
1t is blessing TO the afflicted 60 be restored
without mutaion. The body is doing well,
free from pain, and his recovery appears to be
certain.

that State has used the following language: ga
distinguished Representative from Georgia has
announced thatin fifteen years Iowa will be
Slave State" You ask me if | ever so ex
pressed myself or in any other way from which
such an inference could be drawn. | answer
that neither directly or indirectly have ever
entertained such an opinion.

DEAR SIR: Your communication of this
date is before us; and in reply we have only to
say that we are utterly at a loss upon what
grounds Mr. Grimes could have founded the
assertion made in the extract of his address Ia
which you have called our attention. No such
idea certainly was ever advanced, any one
from which such an inference could be drawn,
in any speech made by either of us We can but
regard the statement therefore part of that
general system Of wholesale Misrepresentation
which so many Of the enemies of the equal,
ust and Republican principles of the Nebraska
and Kansas Bill have resorted to for the pur-
pose of misleading the minds of the people OF
the Northern States upon them-that indeed
must be weak as we'll as bad cause which
has to be sustained and bolstered up by such
unfair and iniquitous means.

Timber Trespasses.

The United States District Court have been
lately occupied week at Detroit in the trial
of sundry persons charged with cutting timber
upon the government lands in Michigan. The
developments go to show that Uncle Sam has
not only been robbed of his timber, but swim
died also Ivy his agents. There seems to have
been quite u wholesale business transacted in
both these branches. There is but one way to
put stop to this whole class of troubles. The
government should order survey and sale of
all the pine lands, and an end would be put,
as we have often predicted, to all this contro-
versy and litigation.

The Graves Of q Household.

They grew in beauty side by side,
They filed our home with glee;
Their graves are severed far and wide,
By mount, and stream, and sea.
The same fond mother bent at night
Der each fond, sleeping brow
She had each folded aOwer in sight
Where are those dreamers now.
One midst the forests Of the West
BY a dark stream Is laid
The Indian knows his place Of rest
Far in the cedar shade.
The sea, the blue lone sea hath one,
He lies where perils lie deep
He was the loved Of all, yet none
Der his low bed may weep.
One sleeps where southern vines are dress u
Above the noble slain
He wrapped his cOlors round his breast,
On blood red field Of Spain.
And onc-o'er her the myrtle showers,
It's leaves by soft winds famed
She faded midst Italian flowers
The last of that fair band.
And parted thus, they rest, who played
Beneath the same green tree
Whose voices mingled as they prayed
Around one parent knee.
They that with smiles lit up the hall
And cheered with song the hearth,
Alas! for love, if thou art all,
And nOught beyond, oh, Earth
