Litchfield enquirer., 1858-07-29


 correspondent of the Philadelphia Press furn- ishes the following information, doubtless in the main reliable :--
 Minnesota it is evident from the intelligence received from that quarter, will go anti-Lecomp- ton by immense maio:ities. The movement has with it the ablest and most substantial men of the new state. The representatives who were admitted at the last session are hopelessy shef.ed by their position on the Kan sas question
 It is stated that Mir. Secretary Stanton. now on the stump in Kansas against the Eng fish brbe. will, if called upon, publish letter of Senator Bigler of Pennsylvania, in which the aforesaid Bigler denounces the President and cabinet for renouncing the doctrine of pop ular sovereignty but I cannot voucL for the correctness of ths report,
 Gov. Denver although he has grown exceed ingly cautious since his arrival in Washington, confirms the rumor that the vote against Le- compton, as it s presented in the English bill, will be enormous on the first Monday in Au- gust. The President is much harrassed at the prospect. I kmoU that he talks of little else than Kansas, and also that the presidential as- pirants, in the cabinet and out of it, who in- ,Iuce him to change his position, and to desert Gov. Walker and Judge Douglas, have fallen greatly in his esteem. It is no less clear that Hov. Denver has always quietly doubted the entire Kansas policy of the administration, seven while obeying the orders of his superiors
 A SPREAD EAGLE TeAsr.-At Prentiss Gen. sar, Me, on the 9th, the following was the sseond regular sentiment :--

 SuRGIcAL.-The Petersburg papers notice the fact that Drs. H. G. Leigh and James Dunn of Petersburg have recently performed two of the most original and interesting surgical oper- ations ever attempted in the United States The first was upon n@vus, or an enlargement of the blood vessels, upon an infant, nine months of age, of Mrs. Granger. The affec- tion appeared upon the infants left cheek, and being congenita, the spot had increased from the size of dime to that of the egg of goose, forming an unsightly protruberance and rapidly extending over the check, foreshadow- ing indubitably early death, if not removed
 It was removed as follows The nevus was first pierced tranSyersely with five large need les, which were suffered to remain thus AS hours A ligature attached to each needle was then drawn through and made to take the | place occupied by them, remaining for eight | days, at the expiration of which they were drawn partially out, particle of vaccine virus placed upon each and drawn carefully into the center of the n@vus. In the course of few days the effects of the vaccine matter became apparent, the protrusion rapidly changed its appearance. became at length mere sore, and is now in healing condition
 The other case was that little girl, ten years of age, daughter of Mrs. Hefron, also of Petersburg. While an infant, she accidental ly burned her left arm, from the wrist to the elbow, aud, owing to improper treatment when the wound healed her hand was drawn back ward by the scar, so as to lie upon the wrist In the course of time the little finger attach ed itself to the flesh of the arm above the wrist, upon which it rested, and evidently be- came entirely embedded beneath the skin, leav- iug only trace of it's situation. These have been perfectly freed and restored by the opera tion.
 A SAD ExpERrENcE.--Charles Lamb gives warning to the incorporate, as follows:
 " The waters have gone over me- But out of the black depths, could be heard would cry out to all those who have set a foot in the tperilous flood. Could the youth to whom the fagor of the first wine is delicious as the open tug scenes of life, or the entering upon some newly discovered paradise, look into my deso- lation and be made to understand what drea- y thing it is, when he shall feel himself going down precipice with open eyes and passive will to see his destruction, and have no pow CT to stop it, and yet feel it all the way eman- atlng from himself to see all godIiness empt- led cut of him, and yet not able to forget a time when it was otherwise to bear about the plteous spectacle of his own ruin could he see my fevered eye, feverish with the last nights drinking, and feverishly looking for to nights repetition of the folly could he but feel the body of the death out of which cry hourly with feebler outcry to be delivered it
