From the Cleveland Leader, January 81.
Important Medical Operation,

An accldent, which nearly proves fataI,
took place on the West Side yesterday. A
little boy, ten years of age, while innocently
playing with large bean in his mouth, ac-
cidcntally swallowed it, and immediately
experienced the most intense pain. The
child was Immediately taken to the opera
ting rooms of DR.. Weber, where the doctor
proceeded to extract the bean. A person
not practiced in examining patients in such
condition would have believed the child
to be dead. A deadly pallor overspread
his countenance, the eyes were CLASSY and
without expression, the muscles all relaxed,
and the respiration entirely suspended.
Every appearance indicated the grim King
of Terrors had impressed his ineffaceable
seal upon the young boy. The actual pre-
sencc of Death would hardly have changed
the stiffened limbs and whitened features
of the youth, who seemed to have been
spatched from his loving and tender pa
rents in moment of idle playfulness.
During minute and half the child re-
manned without breathing. All the stu
dents surrounded the child in breathless
silence, and DR.. Weber proceeded to extract
the troublesome bean. 1t had passed down
out Of the windpipe into the opening that
leads into the lung, and there stopped.
| I'VE follow copy here, though we think
| there must be a mistake.
! DR.. Weber began the operation by ma
king longitudinal incision in the neck
just below the ponnun1 Adami, in vulgar
parlance Adams apple. His next step was
to pass an instrument down through the in
cision, draw up the bean, and pull it our
with pair Of forceps. The child still pre-
sented every appearance of alifeless corpse
After the bean had been extracted thu
incision was held open by two hooks, ant
by pressing on the child's chest the air il
it was driven out. The blood at the open
ing was sponged off, and by relieving thu
pressure on the breast and pressing on thu
sides beneath the arms air was drawn il
through the aperture made by the incison
A mechanical passage of air was thu
established, and by continued efforts tn,
child began to breathe and show signs O.
consciousness. The color returned, thu
the little child, whose feet had almos
touched the black river of Death, began t.
move. There were about fifty STUDENT
present, and the success of the experiment
brought down the house with loud applause
The parents Of the child sat in an adjoin
ing room, in breathless expectation, hope
of the child's recovery and fears of hi
death contending in their bosoms. Thu
noise of the students caused them to maxi
rush into the operating room, where tn
child lay with every appearance Of robus
health. Their joy was so great that it be
came necessary to take the child ava,
from them to prevent him from being smo
thered by their caresses.

did likewise. He is their fit exponent, and
unless the right of representation be with
held from them, the right to represent them
cannot properly be withheld from the editor
of the incendiary Greenport Watchman.

THE LABOR DEAETH IN GEoRGIA.-From
almost all sections of the State we hear
complaints Of q scarcity of labor. Some
planters have as much as they need, but
their cases are exceptional. Various rea-
sons are given for this dearth, and among
them that planters are preparing to cult
vatc great deal more land than last year.
This may be true in some few localities,
but in the country at large, south and south
west of this point, we do not think so.
Speaking on this point day or two since
to one of the most intelligent and progress
sive young planters in Southwest Georgia,
he said it certainly was not true in his case.
He said he would be obliged to cultivate
from one hundred and fifty to two hundred
acres less this year than last, on account
of not being able to get hands. In his Sec
ton the dearth was partly accounted for by
the negroes setting up for themselves on
small patches Of poor rented land, where
they would about make half living, eking
out the balance by contributions from
their white neighbors.-Macon Telegraph.

WITT, who oficiates also as rabbi, was clad
in the black robe and peculiar cap of the
Hebrew clergy. Soon the bridal cortege
made its appearance, the happy pair lead

best men.
On arriving at the altar the bridesmaids
assembled the platform on the right, sur
rounding the bride and obscuring her from
view. The gentlemen Of the party sur

the violins in the gallery struck up an air,
