A SKILLFUL SURGICAL OpERATIoN.-A
very skllful and successful surgical opera
ton. that of the TRANSMISSION of blood from a
lamb to human body, was performed in
this city on last Friday afternoon by Drs:-5
Il. King and J. L. .Winants. The subject
was Il colorcd man, an inmate Of the City
Hospital who has been suffering for some
time past and who has lately seemed in dan
ger of death from mere exhaustion. When
laid upon the table he was too weak to talk.
and appeared to have but few houEsl left
to him. When his vein was opened but one
drop of blood fell from it, The carotid ar
terry of the lamb was opened and the blood of
the lamb was forced thence, by the palpita-
tion of the animals heart, through small
tube, into the patients cephalic vein. In
this way about eight ounces of blood was
conveyed from the lamb to the man. The
operation was entirely satisfactory in its re-
rults, and the patient is now doing very we'll:
This is, we believe, the first operation ofthe
kind ever performed in this city; and we are
sure that it has ever before been attempted
in the State. 1t was delicate one, and
will be. well worthy of full report in some
of the surgical Journals ofthc day. 80 .t

: How a Dog Saved a. Mans Life.


A pleasant little story, of which the hero
is a well trained .setter-dog, comes from
Quincy, Ill sand the Wig Of that city tells it
as follows: - :.''' -
"The dog usually sleeps at night in ken
mel in the rear or the house. On Thurs
dap night last, about 10 o'clock, as his
owner went to his room in the second story
on the front side Of the building CHE lights
below being extinguished, he heardshis dog
come beneath the window and set up q
most esrnest constant barking, and it seemed
to him that there. was an:unusual tone in
the animals voice. Supposing that there
were intruders on the premises, he opened
the window and called ou to "Nig". to
catch 'em' 1.-The dog, instead. of starting
off under the order, continued to bark,
jumping up againts the wall of the house
beneath the window, evidently desiring that
his master should come down. The gentle
man went down, and as soon as he reached
the outer door was met by the dog, who,
still barking. ran to the rear of the dwelling.
His master following, found his hired man
lying on the ground helpless and unconsci-
Gus. lie had, as he afterwardstated, step
ping out from the kitchen, fallen upon the
ice. his head striking stone step and cut
ting fearful cash in his scalp He had to
be carried into the house, and it was some
hours before he recovered his senses. in

of the wounds" z..,- r. r,".-s -.

DISCOVERY OF A VESSEL EMBEDDED
SIX FEET BELOW THE SURFACE OF THE
EARrH-Yesterday, says the Savannah
Advertiser, of the 10Th instant, while the
dredge boat. in charge of Captain j. S.
Kennard was. engaged in excavating the
embankment from in front .of.the proposed
entrance to the new dry dock, about six feet
below the surface, and at distance of about
seventy-fye feet from low water mark, a
small vessel was discovered embedded in the
solid earth. After removing the top earth
sufficiently, the craft was discovered to be
that Of. small schooner. Her ,masts, which
projected lengthwise towards the river from
where she had careened, were taken ont Of
her, Thcpe is no telling, how long the vessel
has been buried from sight, in all probability
since the days of Oglethorpe.
As she now lies scyenty-fve feet from low
water mark, it wouzd seem natural to sup.
pose that at the time she was placed there the
tide reached that mark, and consequently
that at some remtoe period the river was
much wider than at present. 1t is3hoped
some further developments In relation to
this craft may lead to Standardization, OF
at least the discovery Of her age. Could the
latter fact be discovered, some interesting
speculations might be INDUCED in relative
to the gradual filling up of the river along
the city front. -. q

A Sisters PRAYER.

As youth was leaving his Christian home
for the temptations. of college life, pious
and beloved sister put into his hand a part
ing note. Words of sisterly affection and
interest were followed by this brief appeal: {:
@Dear brother: If at the hour of twilight
you are tempted to 60 anywhere or engage
in anything that would dishonor your pa
rents or your God, remember, I'entreat you,
your sister is pleading for you at the throne
of grace. That hour shall be with me hal
lowed time, devoted to God on your ac-
count" = 4 -. -,
Months passed I; and the student won a
fair name by,hi exemplary department and
attention to study; his sister, untiringly
pleaded with God for his conversion. At
length precious letter came, bearing the
hope that he had found Saviour. Acknowl
edging debt of gratitude to the teachings
and prayers of Ills father and mother, he
says to his sister: . ,'r

an evening in an Improbable manner, voice
seemed to say to me, Beware; your sister IS

buried myself in'my books to drown the voice
of conscience, but it grew louder and louder:
Outward propriety would not satisfy ME, and
I had no rest until began to pray myself.
I had bitter struggles with my wicked and
proud heart. The way of salvation seemed
hard and impossible, but could not turn
back. God has heard your prayer, my be-
loved sister, and shall always feel that lowe

All, sister, brother, friend, you know not
the power you WELD over those Brought up
at your side. The love of home and frie nds
even if unsanctifcd, may do much but you
know the way to the throne Of grace may en-
circle a cherished one with these strong
cords Of love aid influence which, by Gods
blessing, shall not Be broken even BY tempta-;

You may thus win the joy of those who save
