Why should men, as class, habitually,
and as matter Of right, boldly wear the

fight, and brutify themselves, so that they
are obliged to be put in seperate pens in

ASMGULAR CAsE.-On Sunday week
last, Drs. Perry, and freeman of Sarao.
ga amputated the leg Of Mr.. Smith, a
resident of that village. The cause of the
amputation was the actual death of the
limb. Mr.. S., who is q laboring man, of
industrious and temperate habits, some
weeks since, while walking, was seized
with sudden pain in the leg, about half
way from the knee to the ankle, and i'm.
mediatcIy all sensations or feeling below
the regions Of the pain ceased. The look
and color Of the skin, and to the touch,
was that of dead body, and all life or an.
imation below, midway from the knee to
the ankle, was entirely eradicated. The
above physicians attended the sufferer, and
used all the skill and ingenuity known to
the medical profession to restore the cir.
cuaton, but to no avail. The individual
had previously enjoyed good health, and
the cause for so sudden and singular re
suit could not be accounted for. Gases of
palsied or parallysed limbs are offrequent
occurrence, but that ofthc death ofa limb.
We understand was never before known to
the medical faculty. That the limb was
actually dead, is shown from the fact that
decomposition has setin, and it was found
necessary to amputato the limb to prevent
modification The leg was taken olrabove
the knee.-ADany Argus.
