OPENING OF THE SPRINGFIELD Horse SHOW.
The third National Horse Exhibition at Spring
field opened yester, ay with great splendor The
weather was such as to satisfy everybody, and the
city was full of people. AT 8 o'clock the signal
was given, and the gates Of the Park were open
ed.
Soon, the horses and equipages were brought
out from the stables, and as they drove round the
grounds the sight was enlivenng and beautiful
beyond description. The seats opposite the
judges stand were well filled, and the people of
Springfield and its neghborhood were present in
carriages and on foot in great numbers.
The cavslcade at ten O'Clock was very fine, and
gave entire satisfaction. The number of entries
is over four hundred and the animals are of
very superior class. Nearly all the celebrated
horses which were advertised are there, and it is
hard to say which attracts the most notice.
Some very elegant matched teams are there !;
also fours in hand and every other variety of
team, including ponies and the old team of four
horses, the aggregate age of which is hundred
and seven years.
After the cavalcade the horses assembled under
their various stands and were examined by the
judges.
There was then promiscuous driving around
the course, till 2 IL o'clock in the afternoon,
when, says dispatch to last evenings Boston
papers, was commenced the trial of speed by the
horses designated by the judges. There had been
one or two slight accidents, but nobody was hurt
A light gig was overturned, and the driver drag
ged short distnnce, but was not injured. TWEEN
ty nine stations, for general use, are on the
ground and among them are such animals as
Ethan Allen, Hiram Drew. Trotting Childers,
Tomey, Columbus, Lone Sta, and others of al
most equal fame The thoroughbred Sultan,
Logan, Musa, and Hard Times are attracting
much attention, but the absence of Mr. Shaw
stable is much regretted.
OF the large number Of distinguished gentle.
men invited TO be present, letters OF acceptance
have bsen received from the governors Of Massa.
ehusetis, New York. Connecticut, New Hamp-
shire, Maine, and Indiana, and dispatch had Just
been received, stating that Gen. Wool and staff
would be there last evening.
Every train brings aecessions OF passengers,
and Springfield will soon be crowded to reple.
ton. The exhibition will increase in interest
day BY day.
The exhibition will continue till Friday night.
Extra trains run over the Western road for the
accommodation OF those who wish to attend.

The OPERATION Upon THE Hon. CHARLES
SUMNER.-Ihe Paris correspondent of the N.
Y. Times, under date of August 10, thus
describes the painful character of the surgical
practice which the Massachusetts Senator is
undergoing in France:
Mr.. Sumner left town yesterday for sea-
son at Aix-les- Bains, in Savoy. The cauter-
ization of the spine has done him good, and
after a season at AK he will return to Paris
again and to the mOTas. Perhaps your readers
do not know the character of this remedy. A
moxa is thus made and applied 1t is composed
ordinarily of carded cotton, rolled into cone
the base of which may have an inch diameter,
and slightly pressed by and contained in
piece OF muslin, or other cloth. The cotton
Is saturated in some alcohozed subtance,
such as camphor or nitre. 1t is then placed
on the skin of the patient, over the diseased
part, the cotton lighted, and as the flame
reaches the bottom of the cone, it is blown
into the skin by means of blow. pipe. The
skin is protected by wet cloth The great
est pain is experienced when the flame first
reaches the skin. Soon the cuticle begins to
crack, the skin contracts into burrows, turns
brown, then fries, and finishes by becoming
black and carbonzed, like other burnt sub
stances.
These moxaS must be repeated often and
over the whole course of the spine, if the
disease be there, in order to produce per-
manent effect. They are thus called from
Chinese and Japanese tissue like cotton the
Artemisia Chinesia, which they call in those
countries moza. for it is from those countries
that the practice of the mora is derived and is
as old as history.-It is in fact, so old treat.
ment, even in modern times and modern ma.
tious, that it has almost gore out of use; yet
it is sometimes resorted to in casesawhch have
resisted all other counter irritants, and not
unfrequently with marked benefit. The
practice of buraing the skin or other diseased
parts, which had gone somewhat out of use
few years ago, is now fast coming into use
again in Paris. Scarcely ward in the Paris
hospitals is now without its portable furnace
of charcoal and red hot irons. They are ap
piled as well in medicine as in surgery, for
practice in chronic, lily defined affections, not
much in use, is that of stripping the patient
naked and drawing an iron, heated to a white
heat, quickly over his or her body parching
the cuticle brown in it's track and giving to
the body the appearance OF a striped zebra
If the iron is white and the operation is prac-
ticed cleverly, the patient does not suffer from
1t enough to force cry but if the iron is
only red the pain is. Of course very great
