NEW YORK TRIBUNE.

A number of our western Contemporaries are
complaining OF the discontinuanee of the New
York Tribune from among their exchanges We
have also failed to receive the Tribune for several
weeks past, and yet we cannot say that we have
any fears of its breaking US up. So long as
are favored with such papers as the Milwaukee
Sentinel, Chicago Journal, Galena advertiser, the
Madison Daies, &c, we shall, in all probability,
be able to fill our little sheet without the aid of
the Tribune. So far as late is to be taken
into the account il was never of any material ben
eff to a newspaper published In Wisconsin. Yet
the Tribune is valuable paper, and if Mr. Gree
ley would not accompany his essays protection
to home industry" with the most strenuous eff
forts to ruin the business of newspaper publishing,
he might be considered far more consistent than
he now is. He puts the price of his weekly at a
figure below the cost of the white paper in the
west, and makes himself rich by charging enor.
nous prices for advertising which cannot be
charged by country papers Mr.. Greeleys posi-
ton editor, would secure for his paper an
extensive circulation at fair price but with this
lie Is not conteal he puts II at price he knows
be ruinous 10 all Western publishers. and then
requires them, 10 order TO get exchange with
the Tribune TO publish an advertisement for his
paper, OF length for which he would charge from
so 70 500 if asked to insert similar for US
We 10 uot chose TO comply with these terms, and
SHALL endeavor 10 do without his paper If the
Thousands OF subscribers TO Mr. Greeley's paper, in
gi.is state, would patronize papers in their own
aeighboTdood, and thus aid their friends, they
would in all probability fini interesting papers
al home they get from New York. We
have nothing to say against the Tribune 1t is an
excellent paper-worthy of patronage, but the
course pursued by its publishers cannot prove
otherwise than runous TO thousands of his broth
ers of the Quill and Rule, and should be con-
denned by all who disapprove of overgrown mo-
nopolies, SUCH Horace Greeley heads.
SUHsIcAL OrEAArIos.-Dr H Van Dusen, of
tais village, proformed very critical and skill
fu surgical operation, on Monday last, in the re

whole OF the protruding large muscles on the fore
part OF the arm very much enlarged by the dis

exposed by the knife, [the first incision through
the integnment commenced quite up the shoulder
and ended below the bend Of the army still there

Than gill. A number of arteries had to be tied
IN the operation The patient, "a man near sixty
years old was made perfectly insensible TO the
ageration by the inhalation OF chloroform. The
s-ie occupied IN the removal of the tumor was
