hailed with universal pleasure. There is no
longer an excuse for ignorance, for books

ment upon almost every subject.
Also our readers will observe that that
ancient trading house the KENDALL Co. the

changed hands, and one of the former
owners, Capt. A. B. Cow. in connection
with our friend, Cod Fish CrsHMAN, have

SuReIcAL-The operation Of amputating
q leg, under the influence of chloroform,
for the removal Of limb affected by a
scrofulous disease of the bones forming the
knee joint. was performed in this place on
Friday, the 22d ult, by DIR. NJ. p. Burns,
assisted by Drs. WILLARD, r. II. LAXsDME
and GLENN-the latter administering the
chloroform. The disease was Of fifteen
years standing, and for the last two years
was attended with excruciating pain, and
had, during the latter period, confined the
patient to the bed. The disease, had it
been permitted to take its course, which
we are informed could not otherwise have
been arrested, would undoubtedly have re-
suited in death.
The amputation was performed on the
upper third of the thigh, and by it full
one sixth of the entire human system, (22
pounds) was removed That such can be
done without impairing the mental or phys
ical faculties, except so far as the removed
limb itself is concerned, would almost seem
to be preposterous. Yet such does appear
to be the case, and under the care and d.
rection Of skillful surgeon, is attended
with comparatively little danger. The
time consumed in the operation was but
about twelve minutes. The patient is fast
convalescing, and will be able, with the
use of crutches, to 20 about in few weeks.

board and found the letter bag, and anoth-
er bag containing public documents-both
marked Columbia City," the name Of
this Office year and half ago. l also
perceived the letter bag for Olympia, and
remarked that it should have been left al
Rainier. AS the Multnomah would leave
Portland before the Republic would arrive
there, which would cause the Olympia mail
to be delayed q week longer, took charge
of the bag and signed for it.
