An Extraordinary Lusus Nature.

A Philadelphia correspondents of the
/ New York Tribune gives the following
account Of most extraordinary tumor.
taken fro.n the face of child about seven
months of age, In one OF the hospitals of
that ciIy;
The child was placed under the influence
of ether, when all pulsations in the par.
site was observed to cease. The instru-
ment beng applied. the chain was rapidly
worked until the rartS were well COM
pressed, and afterward very slowly. In
hfieen minutes the tunor came away with
'he instrument, the chain having worked
through the connecting membrane, while
scarcely drop of blood followed the remov-
al, and but one small vessel required lig-
allure The surface left on the cheek was
about two inches square, the tumor weigh
ed two and half pounds. The whole
operation was entirely successful, and the
child lives and has fully recovered But
The extraordinary part remains 10 be told
The iumor thus taken off was found 10 con-
tam living child, imperfecily developed
IT Is true but still living child. Fingers
were seen, and a portion of rudimenta-
ry arm. The lntestInes were we'll devel-
oped, and no doubt was entertained of its
being a male child. A body, presumed
to be the heart, contained imperfectly
formed auricles and ventricles. The
arteries and veins were of large size
The dIssHctng knife came repeatedly in
contact with the osseous matter of rudi-
mentary skeleton. Fat was found in large
quantities everywhere. Ii was in fact
repetition of the Siamese Twins, only less
perfectly developed. These results were
received with profound astonishment by
the crowded audience who witnessed the
operation. The case is said 10 be unique
in the annals Of human malformation.

time for inserting them arrives, whichwith

LYING IN BED.--No piece of Incidence hurts
the health more than the modern custom OF iy-
ing in bed too long in the morning. This ~
the general practice in great towns. The IN
habiIants of cities seldom rise before or
o'clock; but the morning is undoubtedly the
best time for exercise, while the stomach Is
empty and the body refreshed by sleep Be
sides. the morning air braces and strengthens
the nerves and in some measure answers the
purpose of 4 cold bath. Let any one who has
been accustomed to lie in bed tlll or o'clock
rise by six seven, spend couple of hours IN
walking. riding or any active diversion without
doors. and he will find his spirits cheerful and
serene throughout the day. his appetite keen,
and his body braced and strengthened. Custom
soon renders early rising agreeable. and nothing
contributes more 10 the preservation OF health.
The inactive are continually complaining oi
pains. etc. These complaints which pave the
way to many others, are not to be removed 10y
medicines; they can only be cured by vigoT-
Gus course of exercise, 10 which, indeed. they
seldom fail to Weld 1t consists with observa-
ton that all very old men have been early riscrs
