LONDON, July 8, 1872.
THE HERALD LIVINGSTONE SENSATION.
The copious information furnished by the
New YORK HERALD regarding the safety of
Doctor David Livingstone and the success of
bis explorations in Equatorial Africa is the
great sensation of the day.
THE LONDON PRESS REpR1NTNG THE NEWS.
The HERALDs dispatches have been quoted
in all the evening papers published in the city.
Large placards have been conspicuously posted
in every quarter Of London calling attention
to the news of the great explorer. These are
surrounded by the citizens, who discuss the
HEnALDs feat.
AT THE LONDON BUREAU.
The leading London publishers have
tthroneed the London bureau of the New YORK
HERALD in Fleet street. They profess the
greatest anxiety to get into communication
with the commander of the HERALD Living
stone expedition.
The EYE TO BUSINESS
Their intentions are to anticipate the Ameri-
can publishers by bidding for record Of
his experiences outside that which he will
furnish exclusively to the HERALD The COM
petition is keen between the representatives of
book publication here, and they are prepared
to offer large sums.
THE ILLUSTRATED PAPERS EXCITED.
Several of the best artists of the illustrated
journals here have also called. with the object
of securing likeneos OF MIR. Stanley and to
bid for the publication in their several sheets
of any sketches he may have taken on the
route to Ujiji and return to the sea coast.
Next to Livingstone and Stanley, Miranda,
King of Ujowa, is among the prime favorites
for pencil and graver treatment.
THE EXCITEMENT GENERAL.
It may be judged from the foregoing evil
dences how high the excitement runs among
: the entire people of Great Britain. The glori-
GUS news has been flashed far and wide and is
the subject of univeral and admiring comment
on the HERALD's great success.
ENGLAND REJoIcEp, BUT ASHAMED
The Globe says:-
cit may be admitted that with thankfulness
at the discovery, there may mingle some feel
ing of shame that the care of one who repre-
presented so well the enterprise of England
should be left to the newspaper correspondent
of foreign journal
THE THANKS OF ENGLAND.
The Euening Standard calls the HERALD's in
formation deeply interesting, and says:-
''The warmest Acknowledgements Of England
are due for the timely and valuable intelli-
gence brought by the HERALD correspondent"
THE PIrH OF THE NEWS
The Swans of the Royal Geographical
Society, and others familiar with the subject
Of the lake regions of Central Africa, agree
in considering the HERALDs despatch o.
Livingstone's explorations as completely solv
ing the long-disputed question of the source

Surgical Operation.

Last Tuesday DR.. G. W. Seip, of this
place, assisted by two of his students, Frank
Keller and Howard Paterson, performed one
of the most skillful and neatest operations
upon the jaw-bone of Jacob Alligeiger, of
this county, that it has ever been our lot to
witness. The operation consisted in the re-
moval Of a considerable portion of dead bone
both from the internal and external parts of
the lower-jaw, with gouge and chisel.
The patient bore the operation well and at
this writing is doing exceeding well.
The cavities made by the excisions are FL
ling up with granulations and healing
rapidly. This is one of several opera
tons of the kind performed upon the lower
jaw by the Doctor with entire success in
every case. Z.

The English agricultural papers are
lamenting over the almost entire failure
of the fruit crop in that country. 1t is
stated that the crop of apples, pears, and
even the smaller fruits, is the smallest
ever known there. The cause is attribu.
ted to the severe weather in March and
April, which is believed to have injured
the trees and fruit buds. There were
heavy frosts latter in the season. which
destroyed the blossoms on trees that had
escaped the winter. This presents re
markable contrast with the fruit crop in
the United States, which is one of un,
usual abundance.

Base BaIl.-Thc game of base bal
played between the White Caps of this place
and Eureka of Providence, Pa, on the
grounds of the former club on Saturday last,
proved a sad defeat for ''our fellers.' AT
about IL, IN the visitors arrived at the depot,
where they were met by committee of the
White Caps and escorted to the Stroudsburg
House for dinner. The Eureka nine is COM
posed of as fine looking and athletic body
of men as ever handled bat and ball, while
their gentlemanly department, during their
limited stay in our midst, won for them hosts
of friends. Their uniform consists of a red
cap and pants, white shirt and leggings, pre-
senting very fine appearance on the field
Game was called at about clock p IN, ,
the whole nine innings being played, the
time occupied being nearly four hours, and
the score appended below shows the result.
AT the conclusion of the game the visitors
were escorted to the Indian Queen Hotel,
where bountiful collation. awaited them,
after partaking of which, their time was oc-
cupied in sightseeing. At few minutes
past eight they embarked on the street car,
en-route for the depot, accompanied by
large number of our citizens, and, in short
time thereafter, were speeding away O er the
mountain toward home They expressed
themselves as being highly pleased with their
visit, and the hospitalities of the White Caps
and our citizens. The secret of this sad de-
feat tor the White Caps, lies in the fact that
they have too much itself confidence. Had
they devoted more time to practice, the
result might have been far different. Let
them profit by this lesson. The following is
the score.

The smallpox excitement, it appears, is
rather on the increase in Scranton. The
Sunday Free Press of that city, of the 25th
inst, contains full account of the means
adopted by the city authorities to prevent
the further spread of that direful disease.
At special meeting of both branches of the
city councils, held on the Odd inst, the
Mayor was authorized to employ as many
physicians as were deemed necessary, to vac
cinate all persons not heretofore vaccinated
in the city, free of charge, and everything
possible is being done to prevent the further
spread of that disease.
