A Touching Scene.

since, and, made himself claimriSear Far

got separated on the cars between Chicago
and iDunleith. 1t 50 ,happenad that this
gentleman's wife and his friends family
came up on the Lady Franklin, and the
gentlemen on another boat; the gentlemen
came on to Hasting expecting to find them
there, but could gain no. information of
them supposing they had gone to Farri-
bault they fastened there, but again could
get no tidings of the loved ones they
hurried back to Tasting, just in season to
learn of the loss of the Lady Franklin
Nearly heartbroken with fear and sorrow,
they came down to our town on the first
steamer, arriving here just at day break,
and fastening to the Rcd'iWing house,
whose names should meet their fearful gaze
but those Of the lost ones. With shout
of gladness that brought the landlord from

they danced about like children quite be-

THE ELECTION is CONCEDED

The Republican press are learning final
ly that there has been an election and tina.
the people lave spoken in loud terms in
favor of JAMES BrcIIASAN and gousC.
BRECKENRIDGE.
They. however, attempt to console
themselves and those who are SO deluded
as to still believe in them by assuming
that large majority of the popular vote is
in their favor. This we doubt, and will,
rs soon as returns are received from all
the States, be enabled, we think, to show
they are greatly mistaken. At present
, 1t is enough-satisfaetion to Ms to know that
the Nominations of the Democracy have
been sustained by the people, ndthst the
country is saved from those who trample
the Constitution, and would, if necessary
to their partizan objects, trample the
Union under their feet. We copy the
following from the Chicago Democratic
Press, violent Fremont organ, and one
of the most dishonest political sheets
which has been published during the Cam
paign. We concede the Press's ability,
and look, therefore, upon its opinion that
the Fremont party are routed as worth
something. e-.. a@tS 9as Z.
GENERAL RESULT or THE ELECTION
The returns 80 far Indicate the election OF
Mr.. Buchanan. Al. first, Maryland, Ken
lucky, Louisiana and Florida were claim

able that all except Maryland have gone
for Buchanan, and we should not be sur
prlsed If it should turn out that that State
had also, leaving Mr.. Fillmore without a
single electoral vote. The North has done
nobly for Fremont, and that the vote OF
Pennsylvania only was needed to secure
histriumph. From present appearance the

fire. AS we hear the facts, on Friday,
about 10 o'clock, she made an attempt to

smoke issuing from the room in which she

succeeded in extinguishing the flames.
The unfortunate woman had evidently fir

breast and shoulders were burned in, the
most shocking manner, though Life was

she manifested little or no symptoms o!

A HAZARDOUS SURGICAL OpER ALTON

A. AA-A0nNDoSo NJ hulCAL OPERAIiON.-
An extremely hazardous, but successful
surgical operation, was recently perform
ed upon DR.. John hurry, residing on
Germantown road, below Thompson street,
which reflected the highest credit upon
the skill of the eminent surgeons engaged
in it. The operation was in the removal
of a medullary tumor, located in the right
groin, and within the illium, extending
half way across the stomach, and protrud-
ing outwards. The tumor was fifteen
months in forming, and became at length
so painful as to .confne the patient to his
bed. The advice of the most prominent
surgeons was obtained, and in three diff
ferent consultations it was decided that
the cutting away of the tllmor would, in
all probability, be fatal to the patient
The intense sufferings Of the Doctor caus-
ed him, however, to hazard the operation,
and at his earnest solicitation. Profess
sors Washington, Atlee and Wiltbaud and
Dr.. J. Darrah consented to perform it.
1t took fifty Five minutes to sever the tu-
NOR from the body. Chloroform was
freely administered, and while the sur
geons were busily engaged asphyxia took
place, and life seemed almost extinct
The tongue of the patient sunk into his
throat, causing great agony, but was final
ly hooked out. He was then somewhat
resuscitated by pouring a quantity of
brandy into his mouth. There was but
a single incision made, which extended
over fourteen inches. The large veins
were tied up, and the ltumor removed, and
the skin closed up. So low was the con-
dition Of the patient at times, that,it. was
thought he had expired. His state was
extremely critical for several days, but
within week or two past he has been
able to leave his room and ride out. But
few more difficult operations have been
performed than this, and its complete
success is a most gratifying, evidence Of
the advancement Of medical skill.-PAa.
