AN EXTRAORDINARY SURGICAL
. FACT
From the Pittsburg Commercial.

From the Pittsburg Commercial.
Twenty years ago, in Cavendish, Yer
mont, man name Sage, twenty-five years
of age, possessing an iron will and an iron
frame, met with a singular accident, the
particulars of which we collect from a pa
per read by DR.. Harlow few days since,
before the Massachusetts, Medical Society.
Sage was ramming a hole that had been
charged with powder. The iron struck
fire from the rock, and the iron be was
ramming with was driven up through his
cheek, out of the top OF his head, high ia
the sir. and was afterwards fo4ua, se4arel
PODS distant, smeaFed with blood Ind brains
The tanning iron was 81 feet in length and
l 4 inches thick, and pointed at one end,
the taper being seven inches long, and the
diameter of the point quarter of an inch.
1t weighed thirteen pounds. The point
was upward, and the iron smooth The
missile entered, by its pointed end, the left
side of the face, Immediately anterior to
the angle of the lower Jaw, aud, passing
obliquely upward and slightly backwards,
emerged out of the top of the head in the
median line, at the back part of the frontal
bone, near the coronal snture. The ordi-
nary reader will understand il better if we
say that, pointing upward, it entered the
cheek outside the teeth, and under the
cheek bone, went inside an inch behind the
eye, and out of the top Of the head in the
center, two inches back of the line where
the forehead and hair meet. After few
minutes the man was taken three-quarters
Of mile in a sitting position in a cart.
The opening in the brain was two inches
wide by three and half inches long. In
fifty-nine days the patient was abroad.
The effect of the injury was the destrnc-
tion of the equilibrium between his animal
and intellectual faculties. The man lived
until 1861, when DIR. Harlow secured the
skull, which he exhibited, illustrative of
the statements contained in his paper

The San Antonio Express of May 2l
gives the following particulars OF the lAt'
j disastrous hail-stOrm. 70
K Our city is perfect wreck every houss
in it has received some damage; many arr
in complete ruins, with nothing bat fr z
ments. Of wall standing. The hail-stone'
penetrated the best roofs, going through tir
roofs like cannon balls. All the window:
facing to the north have been smashed in
even window-ehHtter5 and doors were bro
ken down. The appearance of the city
could not have been worse under severe
bombardment. Trees are stripped of their
leaves and branches, which lie piled up in
the yards and streets--the sides Of houses
exposed to the hail hs,ge the appearance Of
having withstood thousand discharges OF
grape and canister. The roofing Of the
entire city is perforated like sieve. The
hail-stones were OF irregular shape and all
sizes, as if mass Of ice had broken over
our devoted heads, and driyenby tornado
! to the earth. One Maidstone WAS found
weighing over five pounds. while a great
many as large as mans fist were picked
mp. 49, s5,sfz saI pa --,sJ se'
Many Of the families whose houses were
beaten down took shelter under beds and
tables, and thus escaped. bodily harm. We
have only heard of one death, a negro boy !;
several had limbs brokeaand were severely
bruised, while the whole population was
frightened almost to death.
The damage is Of every character, and
$500, 900 will not cover it all; roofs were
universally destroyed and windows broken
in, household furniture was entirely de-
molished in some houses, and in many
stores the damage was great. The Menper
House was greatly damaged, the Kleopper
Hotel is almost a wrecks and the Convent
buildings are terribly cut up. ALI the
blinds and window glass on the northern
side are destroyed. Trenches buildings
suffered greatly, and in fact, all build
ing9, having windows TO the north.
Gen. Mason's residence was unroofed, and
his family exposed TO the inelement storm.
But1he most distressing picture of all are
the habitations Of the poor people, their
houses battered in, household goods de-
stroyed, and their little gardens ruined.
The corn patches and gardens are Aattened
to the ground, and haYe the appearance of
having passed through a chopping mill.
All the fruit crop is destroyed. II,
The storm resembled a terrific battle,
The lightning flashing in fearful vividness,
the thunder crashing like thousand can
non and the hail falling like shot; SO fear
ful was the noise that no one could hear
unless they screamed in each others ears
Never in the history of this city, never in
the memory of the oldest inhabitant, was
mat su0b asOra,v
We learn that the hail-storm commenced
eight miles this side of New Braunfels,
reached only a short distance below our
city, and extended from five to twenty-five
miles in width, destroying everything over
region thirty miles from north to south,
and ten to twenty miles from east to west.

GERMAN EMIGRATION TO AMERICA
AND CHARACTER or THE EaI-
GRANTS

GRANTS.
The Berlin correspondent OF the I.endOn
Times writing on the 22d Of May, says
this years emigration promises 10 be one
Of the largest on record, and is expected
70 reach something like 250,9O0. It's re-
marksble feature is the prevalence Of the
Northern element, chiefly Protestants, and
men with a small capital in their pockets
Ten years ago the bulk Of emigrants was
contributed by S0uIherners-Ca Catholics and
paupers, just able 90 pay their passage !;
nowadays il is, and iodeed has been for
several years past, the reverse. The reason
of this is twO-fold. The cenlers of the
Southern population have, by the long
drain on them, freed themselves of their
superhuous elements; the North, on the
other hand, ia which oyer-population was
never au evil, now. sends ont those of its
held hands, who IN the last fifteen prosper
Gus years have managed TO lay By some
little sum. Altogether destitute Of capital,
the pFoyident Northerner will rarely en-
bark in such an enterprise SLouid the
emigration hence retain this new oharac-

place on the registry of voters all women
who had paid their rates under the pro
visions of the reform act of 1861. Miss
Becker made speech, and asserted that
1000 women in Manchester alone paid poor
rates. In addition, petition lately in IA
