SURGICAL OPERATIoN.-Mr. THOMAS
REYNOLDS, of Crawford County, Wis.,,
laboring, middle aged man, has long been at
flicted with carries in the bones of both
his feet, caused by bruise some three
years ago. For two years, he has been
unable to work. The disease extended
slowly upwards, admonishing him of a
premature approach to his latter end
The only remedy was speedy cure or
death, SO he consulted several physicians
who proposed as many methods Of cure as
their number. At length yielding to the
advice of Dir. J. II. HYDE and other ply
sicians of his opinion, one of the feet was
amputated at the instep joint-a process
known among surgeons as difficult to the
operator and dangerous to the patient, as
well as the most painful operation known
on extremities, there being SO many nerves
centering in the foot and that member be-
ing so complicated Assisted by Dr..
EvERHART of Beetown, DR.. HYDE per
formed the operation successfully and to
the entire satisfaction of several of our
leading citizens who were present by invi-
tation. The operation was made about
two weeks ago and Reynolds is doing
well, intending to have the other foot OPP
Grated upon in like manner as soon as he
is able to stand it, The facts by which we
make the above statements are remem
bered from conversation with DR.. EVER
HART, who thinks they ought to be Civ
for the public good.
ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATION Mon
day night last, two men rode up to the
house of G. w. CowEN, residing at Ell
lenboro' in this county, and called for DR..
HENDERSON who boards with Cowen. DR..
H. came to the door and the men said
they wished him to visit sick child in the
neighbl rhood. He started for his horse
and Immediately one of them dis charged
at the doctor, the contents of both barrels
of double barreled shot GU n, six of the
balls lodging in his body. The names of
the assassins are not known nor suspected.
The doctor has a way of assassinating by
his tongue, besides other unruly members
which he has way Of letting loose; but
the victim of his enemies and their ictim
vet survive for few more shots around.
