by DIR. Clarke, in of ds-united fracture. Mi

over by the on the railroad, about ten
months since, and his arm crushed just above the
elbow. The usual operation of splinterng was re-
sorted to, but the bones failed to unite and carti-
lagnous union was formed, producing false joint.
On Saturday, DR.. Clarke proceeded to dissect the
ends of the bone, sawed them off and fitted the ends
together joining them by silver, after which he put
the arm in splinters This is an operation which
requires great skill and has before we believe
been performed in this city. In this case, so far,
there is very good prospect of success, in eecting
a perfect union of the dis-united bone

far enough. To send an insulting or irritating
anonymous letter, or one calculated to dispar-
age or discredt any person whatever, or any
letter signed as if written by any other person

letter calculated to injure the feelings of the
receiver or the reputation of some one else
