@A very Delicate and Skillfu2
Surgical operation was performed in Woos-
ter, on Friday of last week, by .Drs. Fire
stone & Robson, in the removal Of TM-
NOR from the left eye of Mr.. Charles +.
Leopold. The Tumor was seated directly
back of the globe or ball of the eye, and
had grown TO such size rs to force the
ball nearly out of its socket. The pressure
of the tumor had caused so much inflama-
tion, in connection with the displacement
of the ball, as to rendder the eye entirely
useless. Chloroform was administered to
the patient and the operation was com
plete in an hour and five minutes. In Or
dinary cases the removal of tumor re-
quires but a few minutes time, but this was
one cf those cases requiring not only thor
ough knowledge of the anatomy Of the eye
but the most delicate and skillful use of the
instrument. The optic nerve, leading to
the brain, passed directly through the CEN
ter of the tumbr, and the slightest touch
of the instrument to the nerve would have
destroyed sight forever. The rupture Of
the artery behind the ball would have been
almost certain death. The operation IL
one very seldom performed successfully
Mr.. Leopold is doing finely; and, we are
has already so far recovered the
use Of Lis eye, as to be able to see needle
ten feet distant. The case itself speaks for
the OPERATORS Wooster Republican.

pulsively he prostrated himself under the
seats, and fortunately came off with only
some severe rents in his garments.
A lady passenger in the. Cincinnati ex-
press train, states when the bridge broke
the passenger cars were piled one upon
the other, and il was necessary 10 pull the
people out. When she reached terra firma
the first sight that met her vision was the
dead bodies of Two children of about five
years each; the bodies of three or four
dead persons, and numerous men, women
and children crying in agonizing strains
for help. One female was hanging sus-
pended by her feet from the bridge, and it
was found necessary to cut away that por-
ton of the bridge which held the unfortu-
nate female as in a vice, before her lower
limbs could be extricated.
Scarcely person in the cars escaped
without bruises, and many were more or
less hurt, who left on the next train after
tie calamity, and their names are not as
certained.
Walter H. Shube, Rome, Richland coun-
ty, Ohlo, Is injured about the spine and
hip. The small bone of one leg is broken,
but he will recover. Mr.. s. lost quanti-
ty of gold coin, which was spilled from
his pocket when he was thrown head fore
most against the side of the car.
The first intimation Mr.. Shube Lad that
all was not right on the train, he heard a
Shrek apparently from female voice, i'm
mediately followed by cracking sound
Having made up his mind that the surest
way of escaping injury on such occasions,
was to make fast to something, he grasped
the seat firmly and was Immediately carri-
ed, seat and all, over the head Of the man
in front of him. He felt the fire flash from
his eyes by coming in collision with the
head of the unknown man, who was lying
dead in the baggage room. Mr.. Shube
says be distinctly heard the crushing sound
of breaking bones as the old man was

The following bills relative to free negroes were re-
Gently introduced into the Senate by COL Humphrey OF
Onsow. In introducing the first Col Humphrey said :
The bill proposes to the free negro population
from the limits of the State, after two years notice. or
# they a0U renlan to reduce them to the condi-
ton slaves. The bill prepared and introduced at
the request OF many of his constituents well at the
request of many citizens of other portions of the State
who had suffered long and severely from the evil nuen-
which the free negroes exercise the slave popu
atiOn But change radical and important in our
municipal law, the proposed by that bl deser-
we'd we'll he thought the serious consideration of the
legislature and while the change proposed met the
views and wishes OF those at whose instance was fra
med, he had doubt that of its provisions might
conflict with the constitution. In bis own opinion some
legislation upon the subject demanded OF this Leg
slaure. He moved therefore, that the bill be printed
and referred to the committee on the judiciary.
