INTERESTING SURGICAL OPERATIoN.-The Bos
ton Post gives the following particulars of
surgical operation performed whilst the
patient was in state of Inconsistencies
On Wednesday afternoon we attended the
room Of DR.. T. G.. Cutter, at the corner of
Bedford and Washington streets, to witness
the removal Of a very painful encysted tumor
from the neck Of lady patient, while in
state of trance. The subject was the wife of
Samuel d. lIillard, employed at the Quincy
House. For two years Mrs. II. had been
afflicted with the tumor, but mostly for the
last three months, during which time it had
gained half Its size. Ii was as large as Il
hens egg, and, situated upon the back of her
neck it had 1een a source of much trouble
TO her, until she resolved by the advice of
friends to have it removed. She accordingly
ATTENDED at DIR. Cutters room at the above
time, and being entraneed by DR.. c., the
tuInor was removed by DIR. =. Pieno of Groton,
assisted by Dr. Wiuslow Lewis, of this city.
The patient exhibited No signs of pain, and
not the twinge of muscle Indicated any
consciousness during the operation. which
LASTED about five minutes. After the wound
had been dressed, the patient was wakened
from her sleep, and asked if she would have
the tunOr removed then. or wait aud have
1T taken out before a public audience. She
replied that she would leave it altogether
with DR.. Cutter, aud was entirely ignorant
until assured of the fact, that the operation
had been performed.

THE CARES OF A HEAD.-Ia the course of his
last letter to the Courier des Flats Unis, its
Paris correspondent, E. Gallairdet, has the
following:
The Emperor has sought diversion from the
pressing cares which the precarious situation
of the army in the East has cansed him. lie
has shut himself up-invsible to the whole
world, save his Ministers-in the Palace of
St Cloud. lie who is ordinarily SO calm,
cannot now, il is said, conceal his irritation.
Nobody dares to approach him. The Empress
herself seems to have lost that supreme iDiu-
enee with which her grace, her sweetness and
beatty have hitherto invested her. Ia the
midst of continued and violent rains, St.
Cloud has become to her dreary abode.
She desired to return tic the Tuilleries, but
her august husband for thirteen days, resisted
her wishes To him solitude was a necessity.
lie recovered his serenity and desired to
return to the Tuileries, when he learned that
Austria had joined the Allies. His diplomacy
has born him n great triumph he sees that
France return to him which at one time
seemed So far away.
Since their return to Paris the Emperor
and Empress spend great deal of their time
on the Champ Elysees, and in the Bots de
Boulogne.-The Empress appears to enjoy
perfect health But the Emperor's features
bear the marks of great anxiety, illustrating
the truth of the saying that there is no earthly
crown which does not conceal a thorne.

twenty five armed men from Buffalo, went to
Rrdgeway, with the Canadian Sheriff of the
locality, who deputized them as officers. The
Sheriff and several Catholic priest endeavor-

without effect. The sheriff then ordered the
road to be cleared, whereupon the laborers
commenced firing with rifles killing one of
the Buffalo party, and wounding several
others. Two or three Of the laborers were
