three months ago, little daughter of
Henry II Keller, residing near tlamp.
stead, while playing with some pretty
pebbles, put one iu her mouth aud nc.
cidentally swallowed it. The family
physician was called in, aud after
thorough examination discovered that
it had lodged in the windpipe near the
left lung; he made every effort to re.
move it, but without success Finding
that it could only be removed by sur.
gical operation, Mr. Keller took her to
Dr. Allan Smith, Baltimore, and ON
Saturday, the DIST instant, this eminent
surgeon made an ineision through the
neck into the windpipc, and removed
the pebble. The child returned home
on Friday last, She had become quite
thin and emacaied, but already the rosy
hue of health has appeared upon her
checks, aud will ere long be restored to
her former health. This should be Il
warning to children who are fond OF
putting pebbles, pins, Sc, in their

Wheat WAS active and &c higher On the AFet-
age than yesterdays prices. The market was
IN liverpool, and subsequent news Of greater
strength in New York. These produced m
extensive speculative demand, Rnd the shorts
began to reflect on statements unde to tho
effect that the brendth OF wheat sown IN the
Northwest will Ehow large decrease, and thst
the crop in California is whitening up. These
statements are always circulated on occasions
Of excitement, and always find numerous oa.
Eerers But the faith in short crops did not
last to tho eud Of the session, and prices ae-
clined in the face Of NeH York ady1ces- Inc
truth was that the early bulge vas mere M
reaction came before the end OF the session.
