A SEVERE SURGICAL OPERArIoN-We are
informed by a correspondent writing from
Blacklston's = Roads, that DIR. Charles ID.
Green OF Philadelphia, removed the left breast
OF Miss Jane, daughter of James Peterson, re-
siding IN kent county, near the Delaware and
Maryland line, few weeks ago. The part
taken away weighed IIa pounds She de-
clned taking chlorotoIm, and bore the painful
operation with fortiiude which astonished all
who witnessed it. Even the surgeon, it is
said, was affected to tears, and performed the
anerpart of the operation very rapidly in order,
1t was presumed, to conquer his feelings. Miss
p. is getting along very well, and is now pro-
nounced out of danger.-RePublican.
