| Clure, of Marshall county on the 10Th
inst, by & negro boy naued Haywood

| ApeculiaI surgical operation, perlrmed by
| the patient himself, was observed SINE time
since by the learned and philosophical iaior, at
| Cottage Hill. One day while leaning back in
his chair he broke the leg of "grandsldy spi-
der" 1t endcavored to proceed Oh its tourney,
but one ofthe hindmost, or pushing leg being
| broken, the creature could not navigate; where
| upon IT took up the severed limb and aftr plac-
| ing the stumps together, spun peculiarsiken
thread out OF its mouth, which the wei legs
| bound around the broken leg. The graHaddy
| then ate npted TO walk, but the bandage q the
broken leg gave away, and locomotion wa I'M
| possible. The mendIng process was repatcd
several times, without effect. At last the ,rea-
ture, after splintering and Dandaging his leg,
| remained a few moments in stationary psi-
| ton, sufficient for the wound to knit and hal
and then he jumped up and went off as sond
as roach. The Major Thinks as the crandasiy
| has only very short season TO live, nature DIES
| not require but few minutes for his flesh TO
| heal-just in proportion TO the time he las q
live. He is governed in this matter Just lik,
man, whose limit of life being seventy years, i.
| compelled to wait several months for his
flesh and bones TO heal, while the grandaddy
lives month or SO and his wound is he:led in
a few minutes. And as grandaddes have nc
doctors or surgeons, Everybody is his own ply
sioian, and heals himself.
