LAKE DIsAsTER--TEN LIVES LosT.--The
Milwaukee Sentinel informs us that the
barque L. M. Hubby, left Chicago Aug. 5th,
with 80 tons of ballast and eleven men. She
had reached within about thirty miles of
that port, and near Point Betsey, running un-
der her mainstay sail and jib, when about
A. M. of the 9th, she capsized. She was
about thirty minutes sinking. The captain
and mate and two men got into a small boat
leaving the remainder of the men, hanging
and lying in the water. The sea was so high
that the boat could not pick up any of the
men, and it pushed for shore. Before reach
ing land, the boat capsized, and the captain
and one man were drowned The others,
righting the boat, got near shore at the Sleep
ing Bear, nearly opposite here, when the boat
ca psized, and another man was drowned. The
mate, being left alone, got ashore and climb,
ed up the steep bank. There he remained
three days without. food but finally managed
to reach little settlement in Bear Bay,
where he was cared for. The people gave him
money and clothes, and he is now able TO DO
about but very weak. The names OF the
lost are Capt. Roberts, Daniel Grant, Henry
Day (colored,) the rest unknown.
This information is given by James Cottrell,
the only survivor of the eleven persons on
board the vessel.

pated and appropriated last season. The
commissioners at their June session, appro-
priated some se275 for the construction of
certain important bridges. There being So
many applications for the funds from all
parts of the county, and but a small sum to
distribute, many of the applications being
for bridges that the commissioners had not
the proper information as TO the Necessity of
their construction, they came to the conclu-
sion that it was the better way to divide the
fund into three parts, subject to the order OF
the serefal commissioners, so as to give them
time and opportunity to rc-cxamine the sew
eral applications in their respective sections
of the county before making farther apple
prations. 1t has always been left to the
several commissioners while in session, to
say what particular bridges the funds going
into their sections of the county should DC
appropriated for, presuming that they have
d better opportunity of ascertaining the
wants of their neighbors than the Others can
possibly have, living at distance. The
present arrangement gives the several COM
missioners an opportunity TO examine the
various locations for bridges i'll contempla-
tion, and to distribute the funds amongst
them TO better advantage for the public
good than they possibly could under the old
system. AS to that part Of the fund subject
to my order for the present, would inform
Esq. Way that 1915 of it is appropriated for
bridges over his favorite Grassy Creek, and
the balance for various bridges in the town
ships of Perrysburg Lake, Troy, Freedom,
and Webster. AS to the particular disposi-
tion made Of the funds in the hands of
Messrs. Russell and Laskey, | am unable to
say; but have no hesitation in predicting
that all the bridge fund will be more judi
ciously expended under the present arrange
ment, this year, than it has been for years
previous. l hope the Esq. may be satisfied
with my explanations in regard to the seve-
raj funds mentioned, especially the Nc Cutch-
J ensuile road fund. | am perfectly willing
Esq Way should investigate all my official
acts in fair and honorable way, but don't
like the idea of his trying TO coerce me into
!; his sinister plots upon certain funds entrust-
ed to my care, by publishing false represent
ations about me and my intentions. Iwish
to have no hard feelings with him, nor any
| public controversy about local matters. But
justice to myself and others required that I
should make the public acquainted with GER
tain facts in relation to our local affairs, and
they must Judge for themselves whether it
is myself or our friend Esq. Way, that is
trying to supervise the funds a la supervisor.

Extraordinary Surgical Operations.

We have again to record two surprising
and highly successful operations by Dr.
Joseph N. Mcdowell of this city. They are
said to be among the most remarkable eve,
performed.
On Monday, 22d inst, the Or. operated on
boy about twelve years of age, who had
two years ago been injured by brick ia Hing
on his head, and bad since frequent fits--one
every day. The skull had been broken by
tie brick. 1t was trephincd, spine of bone
taken out the shape of cocks spur which
had projected downward on the .dura mater
about one. fourth of an inch. There was no
suppurhtion-the wound is healed the bow
has not had fit since, and is now we'll.
In the other case, boy now fifteen years
OF age, who had been kicked in the forehead
by a horse when two years old, which had oc-
casioned ndepression Of the lone on the
brain. The operator trephined the skull,
exposed the great longitudinal sinus tina. con-
vcys the blood over the centre of the skull.
and removed two spines which had projected
on the dura mater about one-fourth of an
inch. This operation was performed on
Tuesday, the I'D, and the boy is now we'll.
Both operations were extremely del
icatc, and were performed with skill and sue
cess SO eminent as to deserve particular men
ton. There are many surgeons in the United
States aho might be proud of such achieve
ments. aaef s4.ssssvs st
The classes of the Medical.C College of Mis-
souri, had the benefit of the Observable and
analysis of the operations.-S Louis Intel
