SURGIcALl--We have learned Of
several important cases Of surgery
being performed during the past week.
The few hints received induce the be-
lief that they have been such as would
call into requisition the best skill Of Ed
inburgh, or even Of our own favorite
Dublin. But why do not our medical
friends come around with their conmu-
nicationsp They know, as well as we
do, that the citizens Of Utah have been
looked upon by the uninformed as
dupes and fanatics, and that the Ter
ritory has been pronounced devoid Of
superior professional talent apart from
adyenturing importations. They know
too, as well as We do, that such impress
sions and opinions are wrong and why
do they not assist Us in correcting the
errors ? IL. Il HIN n,
We have upon our record this week,
a case which, In our opinion, IS one Of
most egrcgious malpractice. We refer
to that Of Mrs. Webb. Why not come
out, our professional friends, and assist
US in roofing out quackery in every
form IL men wish to practice medi-
line, let them take the pains and time
to study. IL they wish to be barristers
or attorneys, let them look at their
books and prepare themselves. Letthe

clients, becoming scarce in our midst,

The DEsRRET NEws.This paper
comes to us this week ina new livery;
and on the editorial page we find an
acknowledgment of the receipt of a
new font OF BREWER from Messrs. La
dew, Peers & CO., Of St. Louis. The
old type, for the future, the editor
thinks, may be used for a better pur-
pose. Judge, Interpretations you will
excuse. Lawyers seldom make them.
PRRsoNAL.--We regret to inform our
readers, that our old friend Hosea has,
through press Of other business,
found 1t necessary to withdraw his name
from the responsibilities Of our enter
prise. He has not, however, entirely
abandoned us; and although strong
prop is taken from the off side of our
load, he has agreed to help us bear our
burden still, Success and a wider field
.of usefulness to Hosea.
PERsoSAL.After a pleasant inter.
view with Lord Grosyenor, the other
day, we were sorry to learn that his
lordship curtailed his visit in our midst,
and with the fit-out Of an old-fashioned
mountaineer, started on the 18th for
China, via San Francisco. His lord.
