IMPORTANT 10 Wool Growers,

A physician in Wilmington, North
Carolina, has performed the operation Of
transfusing blood from lamb into hu-
man body. The subject was an inmate
of the City Hospital, who had been suf-
fering for some time past, and who had
lately seemed in danger of death from
mere exhaustion. When lain upon the
table lie was too weak to talk, ard appear.
ed to have but few hours of life left in
him. When his vein was opened but one
drop of blood fell from it. The cartorid
artery of the lamb was opened and the
blood forced from thence, by the action
of the heart, through small glass tube
into the patients cephaic vein. In this
way about eight ounces of blood was
conveyed from the lamb to the man. The
operation was entirely successfuli and it
is not only expected that the patient, who
is a negro, will recover, but he will pro-
duce a superior grade of merino wool.

THE STEAM WAGON,
An Iron Giant-.EaOyy Hs GOes-.The
Masterpiece Of LOCOMO:iOu.

From the Corrinne Reporter, June 19l
Colonel Hyde's grand triumph, the
steam wagon or road locomotive, was
all around town to-day. At eleven
O'Clock it started across the track, boun-
ding over hedges and bitches, then up
on the north side, where it was guided
over toward the wathrworks to drink.
Several hundred gallons of Hiram S
tank sulliced to slakc the monsters
thirst, and away it went again. We
have described this consolidation of
mule, horse, and OK teams before, but
did not see its capering movements un-
til this morning. Why. it appears to
swing around in the road, at command
of the steering apparatus, easier than a
man could turn wheelbarrow on Il
matched floor! This great engine will
draw its thirty Or forty tons of freight
in trailed vans or wagons us readily as
it moves unloaded. Mr Hanscom, bull
der Of the car, acted as pilot to day ,and
surely his pride rs a mechanic must
have been fully satisfied in the wonder
ful work CT the Overland Steamer. 1t
is the king of the road in every way
In twenty feet it turns completely
around going at its speed, stops with
the touch of valve, and when desired
to move on, takes up its march with q
step that ordinary distractions connot
retard. On the next trip of the steam
er, this steam wagon is to be taken
across the lake by Colonel Hyde, and
there put to work l1atiling ores freights
to and from the mines to the landing -
We rejoice greatly at its success to-day,
and while seated on its steady front,
close by Mr.. Hanscom, wished the glo-
ry of inventing and manufacturing so
useful machine would sometime be
ours.

From the st. Clairsyille Gazette.
Esen. II. e. Chambers.

As will be seen hy the proceedings in
another column, the gentleman whose
name heads this article has been nomin-
ated for Common Pleas Judge of this
subdivision. This is most excellent
nomination, and time will prove that the
Convention selected man who possess
es ability to make one of the first ju-
rists in the State But it is not necessa-
ry that we should speak Of one who is
so well and fayorably kt1own to the peo-
pie of the District. His clarion voice
has been heard during the past few years
on almost every hill top throughout this
section of the State, in behalf of cor
rect principles and in defense Of the
rights and interests of the people. He
is strong thinker, good speaker; and
above all, he possesses the true Jeffer-
sonian qualifications for public SER
want; he is ''honest, faithful and capa-
hle" This must be acknowledged on
all hands to be nomination pre- emf
nentlv fit to be made. There were a
number of good names before the Con.
VentiUn, and the friends OF each prom.
inent candidate contributed to the Sc
lection of Mr.. Chambers, and all are
well pleased that after so long a siege
1t fell to his lot to be nominated. AS 4
matter of course there are disappoint-
ments; that is always the case where
there are more than one candidate, but
we never saw more general satisfaction
over nomination than this one. For
forty-two ballots each delegate stood
firm to his choice, and only yielded
when necessity required it. And the
general shout that went up upon the an
nouncement of the last vote showed
that all were rejoiced that the Conven-
ton had been able finally to make a Sc
lection The reason of the prolonged
contest-it was known that a nomina
ton was equivalent to an election.
