uH- Somnambulism il q very dam
gerous affection, which il has hither-
to been found extremely difficult to
cure. Professor Pellizzari, of Flor
ence, seems to have hit upon sue
cessful as well as curious plan, which
simply consists in winding once or
twice round ones leg, OH going to
bed, thin fexitle copper wire, long
enough to reach the floor. Eighteen
somnambulists treated in this way
have been either radically cured or
temporarily weaned from their unfor>
tunate infrmity, The Gdsettd Med
ica, of Venice, which reports the fact,
says that copper wire is known to
dissipate magnetic ssomnambulism,
and that this circumstance led the
Professor to have recourse to this
strange remedy.

by DR.. P. A. Clarke.

) Mr.. G. d. Smith, Of Fennimore calls
and requests US to write and print .
public acknowledgment of what is
claimed by intelligent persons know
ing to the facts as one Of the most
important and interesting surgical
operations ever performed in the
country.
1t seems the little boy, of Mr..
Smith and wife, aged two years, had
a tumor, on its head, bilobated as
usual, and consisting of consecutive
cists, the tumor in many respects
dissimilar to any reported in the
medical authorities, as he has been
told by several leading physicians
The tumor was situated on the back
of head, over the posterior fontinelle,
and communicating with the cavity
Of skull or outer brain. The doctors
all agreed in pronouncing it incurable
and advised that nothing be done for
it and that death might happen any
day as the sure effect. Such was the
advice substantially, Of what are un-
derstood to be the leading physicians
of Grant County and of adjoining
counties--Dr. P. A. Clarke, of Lam
caster being the only dissenting doc
tor, who insisted that o removal Of
the tumor by surgical operationwould
be perfectly safe, the time required
not to exceed five minutes. The
| other doctors still insisted that such
operation would be rash and but has
ten the death of the child. Atlength
Mr.. Smith and wife consented that
DR.. Clarke might operate, which he
did ut once, the time of operation
not exceeding four minutes. And
though month has elapsed the child
is not dead, but living in apparent
perfect health, the wound healed and
the parents in the enjoyment of a
state Of mental glory over the saliva
ton Of their child.
DR.. Clarke removes from Lancas-
ter this weak. and il to settle again
in Danleith, where he left rich
practice last year, thinking to COM
bine the practice of his profession
with other business at Lancaster
with greater profit and satisfaction
The public confidence in DIR. Clarke
as q physician is nearly unanimou,
in this vicinity, and his leaving i.
seriously regretted by all.

! Hops-The hiSourn Mirror pub
fishes statement furnished by Mr..
Daniel Felt, giving g list of SO farm,
ers in the town of Fairfield, Sank
county, who had under cultivation
last year 1881 acres of hops, but at
the present time the same parties
have only 93a acres devoted to that
crop. Mr.. Felt claims to be well
posted, and estimates that if there
are no drawbacks to the crop, there
will be shipped from Kilbourn this
year, 5000 against 30, bales from
the last crop; and if tho lice should
prove as destructive the present sea-
son as they did last year, not over
$500 bales will be shipped from the
same point. a
The Baraboo Republic in it's last
issue says: We referred last week
to the appearance of the hop aphides
IN the fly state. They are now show
ing themselves numerously enough,
in the veritable louise form. But
spite of lice and, in many eases, in
different culture, hops grow ramp
antly, and the vines are now show
ing themselves at the tops Of the
poles.
