DEATH FROM HANDLING GuANo.-A
farmer. named Silas Gravel, died in
Montgomery county, Pa, a few days
since, in consequence Of handling guano
with his hands, when there was some
slight sores upon them. The guano PEN
etrated the sores, and in day or two A.
ter, he experienced sharp pain in one Of
his arms, which extended rapidly to the
shoulder, and from thence to his body,
growing more acute, and causing his
whole system to become swollen. In this
state he fingered ia greatagony for about
\ week, wcen death relieved him OF his
sufierings This case, and others simi-
larto it, which have been recorded, should
warn farmers aud others not to handle
guano, if they have even a scratch upon
their hands.

A HAZARDOUS SURGICAL OqERArroE.
An extremely hazardous but success
lul surgical operation, was recently per.
formed upon Dr. John Murray, residing
on Germantown road, below Thompson
street, which reflected the highest credit
upon the skill Of the eminent surgeons
engaged in il. The operation was the
removal Of modulary tumor, located
in the right groin, and within the ihium,
extending half way across the stomach,
aud protruding outwards. The tumor
was fifteen months in forming, and be-
came at length 30 painful as TO oonfine
the patient to his bed. The adviceof the
most prominent surgeons was obtained,
and in three different consultations il was
decided that the cutting away Of the tu-
NOR would. in oil probability, prove fatal
10 the patient. The intense suiTerings of
the doctor caused him, however, TO haz-
ard the operation, and at his earnest So
lioitation, Professors Washington, AtlSe
and Wiltbank, and DIR. Durrah consented
to perform il. 1t took fifty FIVE minutes
to sever the tumor from the body. Chic
roform was freely administered, and
while the surgeons were busily engaged,
asphyx xia took place, and life seemed al.
most extinct. The tongue Of the patient
sunk into his throat, causing great agony,
but was finally hooked out, He was then
somewhat resusciated by pouring guam
tity OF brandy into his mouth. There
was but single incision made, which ex-
tended over fourteen inches. The large
veins were tied up, the tumor removed,
and the skin closed up. So low was the
condition of the patient at times, that it
was feared he had expired. His state
was extremely criticalfor several days
but within a week OF two past he has
been able TO leave his room and ride out
But few more difficult operations hay,

t,iue that the alleged slaves, while IN the CUSTODY
of an officer under the Fugitive Slave Act, cannot
be arrested for murder, is remark OF Judge NC
Lean in DORIS case, that prisoners held under

and WHY not Because the act authorizing the
issue of writs OF habeas corpus by the United
