THEATRICAL QUARREL.-In another item we
chro ice the closing of our iheat,r. The cause
of this eject was adjudicated yesterday and the
previous day, by Justice Mason. There were two
or more trials, and as matter of convenience we
give them all in one. So far we can understand
the testimony the difficulty originated abont the
singing of song. Mrs. Bates and Mrs. Coss both
claimed it being within their respective spheres.
Which was right we do not know, and probably
could not understand, if it explained, for we
are not yersed in the differences between the
duties of leading lady and baladist. But it is
alleged that Mr.. Bates assaulted Mrs. Memer and
Mrs Coss, calling them ugly names. Thereupon
their husbands resented the insult. Mr.. Neitsch
appeared as peacemaker, and both parties az !.
peared before Justice Mason, who bound Mr..
Bates over to appear, and held Mr.. Coss ir peaces
bonds.-[ Flakes Bulletin.

Observation-Disclosures MEN IN THE PARISH OF
TERREBoNEE.-Th Houma Civic Guard, published
in Terrebonne parish, tells the following good
story:
Catching Doues.--A good story has just been
told us in which two of our friends figure as the
victims of practical joke. 1t seems that num-
Der of friends were talking sporting subjects
when one of the company declared that The finest
sport he had ever enjoyed was that of catching
doves with bag by fire light. AS it was known
that doves abounded in the neighborhood, it was
AT once agreed to try it Immediately. suitable
bag was obtained, light procured and the party
started to the fields. Arriving at promising To-
cation one Of our friends appointed 10 hold
the bag and another innocent victim to hold the
light. One, holding the mouth OF the bag wide
open, the other held the light behind, while the
rest of the company started out TO drive in the
doves. The doves when started up were to see
the light, and flying towards it, were to be caught
in the bag. Our two innocents waited long and
patiently for the doves to fly into the bag. They
began to think that the bag not held III pro-
per position, or that the light was not held pro-
p ly. Accordingly, the bng was held in every
Conceivable position. Now tle mouth was inclined
upward, now downwards; now the light was held
high now low now to the right, and now to the
left; but all would not do. At last a faint idea
occurred to these two innocents, that they had
been sold. They trudged their weary way back
to the house, there to find their friends ~ enjoying
the joke hugely. The matter was finally settled
amicably, by all present promising not to tell.

From the Toronto Leader, Dec. %


One of the most extraordinary surgical opera
tons that has ever been performed in this country
was recently successfully accomplished in the
general hospital in this ;ity, by DR.. Aikens, and
for the credit Of the medical profession of Toronto
We think it but right that notice of the case
should be laid before the public. The case in
question is that of young woman who had been
afflicted with an liberated Lesl for seven years.
Having been under the care of several eminent
physicians, and the disease having grown worse
instead of better, she obtained admission to the
hospital, and after remaining there for some
time, was placed under the care of
DR.. Atkins, who, after mature consideration
suggested the propriety of attempting remark
able operation with a view of etfectng cure, and
having obtained the consent of the patient, who,
it may be readily imagined, was willing to undergo
any operation that might have the effect of re-
storing to her the of her foot, the doctor pro-
cceded to cut away all the diseased portion of the
heel, completely removing the roots of the ulcer,
and indeed advancing some distance to the healthy
part of the flesh, the better to avoid leaving any
seeds of the disease remaining. The next thing to
be done to fill up the cavity into which good
sized potato might be placed, with healthy flesh.
The foot was accordingly tightly tied up to the
from the hip and laid into the cavity in the heel
and the flap on one side, or, more properly, end,
sewed to the lip of the cavity. the opposite part,
of course, left still adhering to the hip, in order
that circulation might be preserved. The foot
was kept in this position a week. by which time
the flesh of the hip had commenced adhering TO
that of the foot. The latter was then cut down
from the hip, and, strange thought may appear to
the unprotessional reader q complete cure is
about to result from this extraordinary surgical
operation. ,FNs
J he heel presents very neat and, it may Ger.
tainly be said creditable'' appearance; and
completely healed up. The patient who suffered
great deal during this difficult operation, is still
in the hospital, aud may be seen by the euriousy
disposed or incredulous members of the com
No /, i,

In one of the earlier volumes of the London
Punch, there may be found an amusing article
with reference to q Mr. Phipps and his Cat"
Mr.. Phipps was a London apothecary. much ad-
dicted to experiments in chemistry and poisons
Placing the most implicit credence in the popular
fallaey that cat has nine lives. it was The mis-
fortune Of a feline companion Of Mr.. Phipps to
bear the bfunt OF all his experiments. Pussy was
made to swallow all sorts OF novel noxious and
narseous mixtures.
| Her indignant remonstrances, caterwaulings
scratches and bites were utterly disregarded, and
with the aid of stout pair Of gloves and funnel
| Mr. Phipps drenched her with an endless variety
of deadly preparations. Whenever demonstrated
with by hnmane neigbbors, Mr.. Phipps' invariable
| reply was " She is my cat"
| Unhappily for the people of the District of Co.
luIubia, they are politically the property of Con.
gress. They are the cats Of the radical Phipps OF
that body. They first try all their most uncertain
and dangerous political experiments upon thai
miserable people,. They every year the vic,

good thing, in respects, to BE- under the very
ewes of tho national capitol, but very unpleasant
in others. The drippings from the national flesh
pots are rich and savory, but to be the toy ant
plaything of q radical Congress is very terrible

No RECOVERY UPON LIFE INSURANCE WHERE

as assignee of policy of insurance made by
Matthew !. Clui, upon his own life, February 27,
1858, for $1,000, upon which he paid an annual
premium of $40 20. CluR who went South with
General Butler, died near Baton Rouge, Lohisiana,
February 26. 1864, and the company refused to
pay the amount of insurance, alleging that his
death resulted from a known violation Of law,
which was one of the exceptions named in the
policy.
1t appeared that CIuff, wh5 resided in Boston,

near Baton Rouge. On the day Of his death he

saulted him. Young Cox retreated short dis
tance, followed by Cluf, when, upon Cluff turning
back toward the team, the boy drew pistol and
fred killing him instantly. Young Cox was tried.
and the homicide was declared to be justiiable.
The defendants thereupon moved to dismiss the
complaint.
The plaintiff counsel contended that, according

that, therefore, the Company should pay.

that there is no wish to match the natural hair

small portion of Kentucky and Ala
bama, and says he has never seen
better evidences that full crop
would be made than were everywhere
observable. There seemed to be no
Lack Of labor, and both black and
white field hands were ut work with

reports that he had heard and read,
he could not fail to be astonished.
AS to Texas, the Delta says: The re-

crops In Texas are very encouraging.
