1--WE would call attention to the advertise
ment of Dr. Sanderson. This Is the ilfth year
the Dr. has visited this section during the sum-
mer, being employed during the rest of the year
the treatment o. Chronic and Surgical diseases
seems unparalleled in tie annals of medical
science. He Is constantly performing tho most
dlnlcult operations known to surgery, ana yet
for Ave years, not u single case has Terminated
fatally. Among which are VIM. Van Horn, of
Carroliton, both legs drawn donble for 30 years,
tendOus divided and limbs Strengthened. Isaac
Barger, C0diG, diseased leg for many years, limb
amputated ana quick recovery. son of X.
Freshwater, near Steubenville, Cancer of the
and rapid recovery, also II Mrs. Kelly, of Bell
aire, blind for two years from Cataract, crytaline
lens removed, and sight restored. We have yet
to mention two of the most daring and success
ful cases on record Mr.. Long near Bloomfield,
diseased bones of Pelvls, long since pronounced
Cadiz made an incsion inches in depth and
removed n portion of the internal surface of the
Sacrum and Hem, but what seems more surpris-
ing than all Others Is the case of A. Swihart of
New Philadelphia, necrosis of the Uranium of
years standing, whose case had been pronounced
clans, and n majority of Surgeons In consulta-
tion decided that instant death would take place
from an operation. DIR, -, nj his request, IL be-
ing his only chance for life, removed large por-
tion OF the skull bone ON the upper and right
side OF his head leaving the Dura Mater and
Brain exposed, n large amount of matter was
discharged, and rapid recovery took place.
Comment Is unnecessary. These and many
other cases entitle DIR. Sanderson To rank among
the ablest and most skillful Surgeons of Europe
or America"

THE Miami Gazette thus speaks of q
"woman OF the war:n Through each
volume that has been published concern
ing those noble women who left their
homes to follow the fortunes Of the sol
diers during the late War, we have search
ed in vain for the name Of one of the
most patriotic, self-sacrihcing and de-
voted Of nurses, who went from Warren
County, ut the beginning of the war;
We allude to Nsss Amanda NJ. Stokes,
Of Lebanon. ForsaklEg the comforts Of
home, she responded ss promptly to the
call OF her country a. any one of the
heroes who went into battle. With her
IL was n question of duty 10 her country
She Viewed the matter from the high
standpoint Of justice and liberty, and
she made no halfway work of 1t. There
was no prospect of self-aggrsudilemcnt,
for nurses received but a miserable pit
tance for their labor OF love, il anything
at all aud Miss Stokes used far more of
her own private means than she ever re-
ceived from the government, and used
II freely and willingly-thankful that
she had it To appropriate to 50 righteous
q cause. And few of that excellent army
OF nurses went through as many psrils
by land and water, by food and field, az
did this same lady. We have heard from
her own lips--tOld in no spirit OF self
laudation but with the irrepressible elo-
quence OF actual descriptions
OF scenes in hospital and on the field, by
long, weary marches with their attendant
privatiOn and danger, that would daunt
any person of less fortitude and determi-
nation than she. or course, it IL to be
supposed these war records cannot in
clude the names and deeds of every one
who so nobly went to their country's SER
vice; but IL Is none the less certain that
II any one deserves honorable mention
In these respects, Miss Stokes stands pre-
eminently meritorious. And whether
or not her lsbors OF love shall ever be
recorded In pretentlOu1 tonnes, her name
will awaken memories OF blessed min
istratlons in the hearts of many poor
soldier ~ long as life lasts, and, verify
she shall have her reward

1ntersstlng Letters from Senators Wade
and sherman.
The following letters were read at a
Republican meeting, held in New York
on Wednesday night, Oct. IS.
LETTER FRoM SENATOR SHERMAN.
MANSFIELD, o., Oct. Il, 1867.
"MY DEAR SIR regret that am not
able to attend your meeting at the Coop
or Institute on the 18th inst. l would
like in person to assure you that the Re-
pubicans of Ohio are not in the least
discouraged by the elections on last Tues
day. Gen. Hayes and the whole State
ticket are elected by 5000 majority,
which we will make $4,000 next fall with
ease. We lost the State in 1852 by 5000
majority, on the Emancipation Procla-
nation of Abraham Lincoln. The next
year we beat Vallandighsm by 10l 900
on the same issues. Impartial suffrage
and implicit observance OF the public
faith viii next year, as this year, be en-
graved on our banners, aud will as surely
triumph as that God rules. Indepeud-
ence would have been defeated in 1875.
1t was proclaimed throughout the land
in 171G. Our soldiers were not disheart-
ened with partial defeats but the Cop
perheads were. They raised the white
flag i'm 1864. In 1865 the national banner
country. So.will it be next year. In
the meantime we will learn wisdom from
our defeats. We must insist upon great
er economy in public expenditures. We
must enforce our revenue laws Wemust
cease to quarrel among ourselves. Our
adversaries may be made useful in closing
our ranks. / trust that New York, as
the Empire State, may take the lead in
this movement, and, by maintaining Re-
OH
Gratis and rebels that the party and prin-
ciples that prevailed during the war will
govern the country, now that peace and
union have been won. With the best
wishes for your success, | am truly yours,
"JOHN SHERMAN.

LETTER FROM SENATOR WADE.
"JEEFEsoN, Oct. H. 1867.
"a. p. SAGE, Esq, Secretary Union Re
publican Committee of the City Of
New York
"SIR-Your circular OF the 9th inst,
ia received [ regret my ability to be
with you on uthe 18th inst, as yourequest.
But hope and trust that the Rcpubll-
cans of the great Empire state will not
abate one jot of courage or hope In con-
sequence OF the temporary check their
brethren have had in Ohio. For more
than fourteen years Ohio hiss had a sue
cession OF Republican Governors, and
che never will have any other. Her re-
cent narrow escape will only have the
effect to secure her against future acci-
dents. The Republicans Of Ohio were
never more radical, more confident of
their strength, nor more resolute!y de-
termiued to carry out their principles to
a final triumph than now, and, If our
election could be held oyer again TONER
row, warned Of our danger, we should
carry the State by more than $4,000. We
certainly shall do this next fall if we
stand firmly by the great and godlike
principle Of equal and exact justice to all
men. But even defeat on such prin-
ciple is better than victory on any other,
and f1Iai defeat on this principle is ~
impossible as that God Of justice shall
cease to rule the world Yours, with
respect, IL. F. WADE"

which enveloped him winter and summer,
and asking if anybody had heard gen.
tleman from Lecompton inquiring for himl
He was man of rare physical endu-
rance. Once when the routes through
Missouri to Kansas were blockaded, he
started from Nebraska on horseback, ac-
companied by twelve men, all anxious to
reach Lawrence at the earliest possible
hour, as their counsel and their rifles were
alike needed. They rode hard day and
night, exchanging their horses for fresh
ones with friendly settlers, and stopping
only for meals. After they entered Kan
sas cold, violent storm came on but they
did not halt. One by one they broke
down utterly exhausted, and took shelter
until they could recruit. Seven miles from
Lawrence, Samuel Walker, Lanes only
remaining companion and man Of iron
constitution, reached home so completely
Frustrated that he thought he could have
gone little farther had his life depended
upon it. But Lane pressed on, reaching
the city alone, aud after three or four
hours rest was attending to his ordinary
business"

Old Judge Cole Of Texas, was charse-
terized by his attachment to the seductvs
drink called peach and honey" and -
his hatred of whisky and whisky-drinkers.
While holding court 1t Austin, two men
were brought up on charge Of drunken

the Judge. i'F M ~
