SURGICAL OPERATIoN.-For years a wo-
man in this town has been subject to Sc
we're pains, caused by swelling on her
side; at times deranged So painful did
it become, that few weeks since, it was
considered necessary to open the swelling.
The operation was successfully performed
by Dr. E. Fearing, of this town, and re-
suited in the extraction of thirty-seven
needles from the side of the patient. The
largest needle was an inch and a half in
length, and it is supposed that there are a
few needles still remaining in her side
When they were swallowed the patient is
unable to say, but the presumption is,
about twelve years ago. She was grad
ually drawn over on one side by the pain,
but is now quite comfortable.

The American Banner, Phil, publish
eS an account of papal poisoning Of
cows belonging to a William Patton, an
Irshmun (Proteslant) by birth, but an
American in principles. The foul deed
was done by a Patander named Barn.
ard Duffy, an Irish PaPst, because Pat.
ton had voted the American ticket, con-
irary to the will and pleasure ofthis holy
scoundrel, who, on Patton's previous re-
fusal to vote as he desired him, called
him Dom Irish traitor and would be
sorry for it," So the way to make him
sorry was TO poison his cows. But Duffy
was caugt in the act, and probably in his
turn may be made sorry for it.

The Know-Somethings.

\ new order has arisen in Ohio, called the
DEMONSTRATING which is making large
drafts from the 'Know-Noihing' ranks. A
state council is organized and in active OPP
Grafton. 1t was Instituted exclusively by
members of the old order.
The prominent points OF difference between
the Know-Nothings and kdow-Somethlngs
are these The former prescribe men on ac-
count of their place of birth; the latter make
principles, not nativity, the test of member
ship. The former requires each member
upon his initiation, to swear never to reveal
the existence Of the Order, or his own con-
ton with it; the latter requests each member
to proclaim the existence of the new Order,
and leaves him at liberty TO confess his own
connection with it, but not that of others,
without their express consent. The Know
Nothinrs attempt TO conceal not only the ex-
istence of.their Society, but It's principles !;
the Know-Somethings boldly proclaim and
publish their platform.

Fatal Railroad Accident.

We learn from Mr.. Fenley, messenger for
Winslow & Cos Express, that the 8 l-2 o.
clock train from this city for Boston, Friday,
met with an accident about | 10 miles this
side of the Scarhoro' Station, BY which Ell
bridge Leavltt, Road master, and Frank Rog-
ers, fireman, were killed, the former instantly,
and the latter lived but a few minutes after
being extricated from the ruins. The train
had two engines and snow-plough attached,
and was moving about twelve miles an hour,
when 1t is supposed wheel or an axle of the
Snow-plough broke, which caused the forward
engine and tender to be thrown some twenty
feet from the track, and crushed to ruins.
Mr.. Leavitt, Mr.. Rogers, and Mr.. Water
man, engineer, were standing together upon
the forward engine at the moment of the acct
dent. The two former were killed by the
crash-the latter escaped almost miraculously
he knows not how-with but slight injury.
No other person received harm, and the sec
ond engine was but Just thrown off the track
Mr.. Leavitt was about 35 years Of age, and
has left 4 wife and several children His re-
mains were taken directly to his house, which
was not far from where the accident occurred
Mr.. Rogers was an engineer in the employ
of the company, and took the place of fireman
upon the extra engine for the trip. He was
married about year since, and leaves a wife
and child In this city.-ArgtS.
An inquest was holden on Monday, and a
verdict rendered in accordance with the above

MECHANICS IN KANSAS TERRlroRY

'sThis is a most lovely and promising coun-
try. There is no finer under the sun, and next

of building mechanics and laborers. Last

and 50 so day, laborers ST 25 and 81 so.
A legion of them will be needed early in the
spring and all summer. If you have any to
spare send them along. We shall pay out in
the territory near million Of dollars in build
ing, and man can be earning the highest
wages and getting good farm at 81 25 per
acre at the same time. The government alone
will spend $1,000 or $50, 900 in stone build
ings at Fort Riley. The stone mason, car
penter, brickiayer, laborer, limeburner, &C.,
can lay the foundation of fortune here the first

repent it. We have as yet had nothing |

GEN. ScoTT on THE EASTERN WAR. The
Washington correspondent of the Charleston
Mercury has had the pleasure of hearing a
criticism of Gen. Scott on the war in the Cri-
mea, and he writes as follows -
% Gen. Scott says the allies committed a
great blunder in delaying the attack upon Sc
yastopol as long as they did; that Immediate
ly after raising the siege of Silistria, they
should have attacked Sevastopol, at which
time there was comparatively small force in
the Crimea that the allies cannot take Sc
vastopol unless they receive reinforcements,
giving them superiorily Of force to the ex-
tent OF from thirty to fifty per cent that the
Russian regular soldiers are the best in the
world for defence they never fly, but perish
unless ordered to retreat. He thinks the az
lies labor under great disadvantage in having
two commanding generals; that the road to
victory is through unity of design. The in
ference | would draw from Gen. SCOTS ideas
is, that Sevastopol will not be taken; for
doubt whether the allies can throw such a
preponderance of force there as is necessary.
The General further said, that the allies could
not re-embark now without immense loss OF
men, and all the materials of war in camp ex-
cept the Weapons in their hands

The River and Harbor Veto.

President Pierce's special message, return
ing the river and harbor bill, is an able docu-
ment, marked by clear and forcible reasoning,
a full and fair treatment Of the subject, and
the statement Of sound democratic principles.
1t makes about four columns in the Washing
iagton Union. That paper says
" President Pierce has given 10 the whole
question an examination which is distin-
Suished by the extent aud depth of his re-
searches, and which will place his message
amongst the ablest and most interesting state
papers that have ever emanated from the exec
utve department. If he has failed to remove
entirely the embarrassments which surround
the subject, it will at once be seen that his
failure is owing TO the inherent and insupera-
bic difficulties of the undertaking."
The anxiety of the members Of the House
was such 10 hear the message, that it was
read by the clerk, instead OF being referred
and ordered to be printed, as usual. A letter
in the n. Y. Herald says =
90 This was quite compliment TO the exec
utive, aud as the reading was proceeded with,
evident satisfaction was exhibited by the dem
ocratic side of the house. The Presidents
reasoning in support Of the veto was regarded
as wholly unanswerabe, and as giving forever
a quietus TO the great subject of river and har-
Dor improvements by the federal government
The message must constitute one Of the great
democratic landmarks in all future time.

- Gov. Gardiner of Massachusetts, has
summarily disbanded the military companies
in Massachusetts containing foreigners. And
yet the law provides that "every abe-bodied
white citizen" not an exempt. between the
ages of Is and IS shall Be enrolled in the mid
ia. Some hundred thousand of the foreign
born citizens of Massachusetts are reported
to the Adjutant General as the militia of the
State, and are liable TO be called out to repel
invasion. The high character of the Irish
citizen soldier for spirit and bravery on the
battlefield, should lead him to demand ex-
emption from militia duty in such a ridiculous
know-nothing State as Massachusetts. Let
the proscriptive, craven towards fill up their
own ranks and undertake their own defence.
