Az AWKWARD PREDICAM Tho
Berkshire Mass Eagte tells the follow
ing curious story: A man In Beckett,
while in the woods for timber, had the
misfortune to "lodge" tree, and in
order to get ii down hitched his oxen
to the butt and made them pull. The
tree fell into the fork Of another near
by, when the tops overbalancing, the
other end was jerked twenty feet high
in the air carrying the oxen with it,
where they remained suspended in i'm
minent danger Of being choked to
death. Perceivlng the trees to be very
nearly poised, the man attempted to
drag them down by the tail, but, one Of
these falling, he had recourse to fif-
teen foot pole, with which by reaching
up to the tops, he could so raise it that
the oxen's hind feet could touch the
ground, thus enabling them to catch
breath. Being unable to sustain the
top for any length Of time, lie adopted
the see-saw motion, causing the tree to
vibratc up and down often enough to
give his cattle chance to get air. He
continued this operation four hours be-
| fore aid arrived. He then climbed up
and out on the tree, cut off IA twelve
foot log, which falling, released the OK
EN-, and he ''snaked' 1t home without
even unhitching.

Took HIM AT HIS WORD.-- The follow
ing story is none the less good for being
old "In---, Connecticut, Mr.. Ewing
had borrowed twenty dollars of his
neighbor, Squire Robinson, and had
failed to make payment according to
promise. After two or three such dis
crepancies, he ut last told the squire
that he would pay him on the following
saturday, II his life wds spared. The
day came and went but no money. Tho
next morning, bright and early, the
squire sent word to the sexton that Mr..
Ewing was dead, and las was customary
in those days, the bell should be tolled.
The sexton tolled forty-nine times, in
dicatiug the age Of the deceased. "Who
is dead ?" asked the neighbors. "Mr.
Ewing" said the sexton. But in the
course Of the morning, as was his wont,
Mr.. Ewing was on his way to church, to
the surprise of all who had heard Of his
death. And he was not the less con-
founded when told that he was dead.
The next day the squire got his money,

REMARK ABLE SURGICAL CAsE.-Dr.
Smith of fLinglestown, Dauphin county,
has had q patient under his charge, for
some months past, whose case seemed
so extraordinary 20 him that he finally
concluded to call to his aid the most ex-
perienced surgeons at his command,
He accordingly sent to this city for DR..
w. w. Rutherford and DR.. George
Dock, who in response to the request of
DIR. Smith, proceeded, yesterday morn
ing, TO meet DR.. Smith at the house of
the patient, in Fishing Creek Valley,
some thirteen miles from this city.
The patient, Mrs. Mary Bumbaugh,
thirty-iive years of age, had had tum-
or developing in her abdomen for the
last two years, and which now attained
such enormous dimensions as to threat
en- her life if not relieved by an oper-
alton. She measured around the CEN
tire OF her abdomen five feet and four
inches, and was so enormously distend-
ed by the fluid contents of this inn
mense tumor, that she was confined to
her bed and scarcely able to breathe.
An operation was agreed upon and per-
formed By Drs. Dock and Rutherford,
the patient was relieved and is now do
ing well. Upon measuring and weigh
ing the contents ofthis tumor or sac, IL
was found to yield one hundred and
four pints of fluid-making thirteen
gallons-which upon being weighed
accurately, weighed One hundred and
ten po,mds. We doubt whether Il more
remarkable case than this can be found
in the records of surgery Hdrrisbay
