FIRE AT WHITFIIALL.-Sun morn
ing last, tho store IF J. Stern Co.,

tents, was totally destroyed. The con.
fagration was the work Of m inoendia-

A SKILLFU1 SURGICAL OPERATION. "A
very skillfnl and successful surgical
operation, that of the TRANSMISSION OF
blood from lamb to HUMAN body,
was performed in this city on last Fri.
day afternoon by Drs. j. i. King and J.
e. Winants. The subject was colored
man, an inmate of the City Hospital,
who has bcen suffering for some time
past and who has lately seemed in danger
Of death from mere exhaustion. When
laid upon the table he was too weak to
talk, aud appeared to have but few
hours OF life left to him. When his vein
was opened but one drop of blood fell
fromit. The carotid artery Of the lamb
was opened md the blood was forced
from thence, by the palpitution Of the
animals heart, through small glass
tube. into the patients ccphalic vein. In
this way, about eight ounces OF blood was
conveyed from the lamb to the man.
Tho operation was entirely satisfactory in
it's results, and the patient is now doing
very we'll. This is, we believe, tho first
operation of the kind ever performed in
this city, and We are not sure that it has
ever before been attempted in the State.
1twas a loicate one, and will bo woll
worthy Of full report in some Of the
surgical journals Of the day.
