REMARKABLE SURGICAL OPERATION.

REMARKABLE SURGICAL OPERATION.
DIR. W. NJ. Huntington, assisted by
Drs. $. Belknap and A. Richmond, all of
Rochester, W., on the 9th of Oct, ult..
performed an operation on the divided
lip and jaw OF Hope Cushman, aged 10
years, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. II. c.
Cushmau of Bernardston, Mass. The child
was born with double or twice divided
lip and n division of the Jaw extending
through the hard palate, removing fully
one half the roof of the mouth. At six
months ofage DR.. Morrill, Wyman of Cam
bridge, Mass, successfully united the less
fissure in the Lip, but as far as known did
nothing with the larger one. In one year
from that time at the Mass. General Hospi-
tai, Dr.J. Mason Warren attempted to close
and unite the divided lip over the larger
assure. For this purpose a triangular por-
ton on the left side of the assure was cut
away, making the opening larger than be-
fore. The right side of the divided jaw,
which projected then badly, seemed lit
tie cut, but nothing is definitely known of
that treatment. His effort to unite the two
parts OF the lip failed and nothing had
been done from that time until the above
dale 10 correct the defOrmity.
Learning that Drs. II. and b. had sue
cessfully treated such case, Mrs. Cush-
man and daughter came to Rochester, and
on the day named the operation was per-
formed. tooth projecting badly from
the left jaw was drawn. The right and
projecting jaw was broken and drawn for
ward and into Il natural position but it
could not reach the end of the left side.
Then the sides of the fssure in the lip,
which was one inch and fourth wide,
were scarified and brought together and
firmly fastened. Next the nose which had
been involved in the great opening, and
which had turned partly over, was notched
and brought down to its true and prepared
place on the united lip and so fastened as
to heal by first intention. The operation
required more than an hour, and was in
all its parts successful. The patient re-
vived from her etherizalon and seemed
little exhausted. She remained under the
Drs.' care nearly three weeks, and returned
to her home healed. Had the operation
been in infancy the two ends of the Jaw
might have united and the entire tissure
through the hard palate closed; as it is,
the jaw is in position, but the fssure is not
quite filled but her articulation il helped,
and the dcformity is succeeded by natural
beauty, and the timid child who shrunk
from all observation can now with assur-
ance mingle with associates and enjoy the
SMILES and admiration of her friends

The disease which has broken out a.
mong the swine, in Canada, does not seem
TO develop, as was expected, into "A resem-
bance of the hog cholera, but proves much
more fatal, never falling to kill within a
few hours. The first symptom, is soreness
of the nose, followed by frequent bleedines.
The tongue then begins to swell, protrud-
ing from the mouth and turns black, and
the hog dies frequently in an hour or less
time after being attacked. No remedy has
been discovered that affects it IN the least.
The African slave trade is far from be-
ing dead. Gen. kirkham, the English
Co mmander of the forces of the King of
Abyssinia, estimates the nu mber of slaves
annually carried of from Africa TO the
Arab and Turkish markets at from eighty
TO ninety thousand. They are brought
from the centre of the continent, at ages
ranging from seven to sixteen years. Sub
jects of Great Britain are said TO be engaged
in the detestable traffic which is u disgrace
TO the East, but which seems an almost in
dispensable part of Turkish domestic in
stitutions.
One of the most cold-blooded attempts
at double murder, which has transpired
for long time, occurred at Weslfeld.
Mass, Wednesday evening of last week.
Miss Jennie Bates and Charles Sack EFT
were attacked at the bridge near the depot
by one Albert Smith, who had been en-

affections of Miss Bates. Smith fired no
less than seven shots at them from a revolt
yer, two of which struck the young lady in
the face and neck and one in the hand
while Sackett was shot through the body
near the heart. The would be assassin was
soon after arrested. The motive of the
crime WAS undoubtedly jealousy. Miss
Bates injuries are but slight, and Sack EFT 3

The Legislature finally adjourned on
Wednesday morning at o'clock. The
State Police bill passed the House Monday
evening by the strong vote of ll3 TO %.
The charter of the new corporation, des-
tined to supersede the Vermont Central
aud its related lines, has passed the House
by majority Of 1877, having previously
passed the Senate. Only 80 votes were
given in opposition. This charter will
lake the Vermont Central line out of the
hands Of The court of chancery, and relieve
the managers of their present embarrass-
ments. The bill for dividing the town of
Westminster was killed in the House !;
yeas 30, nays Ill. The bill for the appoint
ment of a State liquor agent did not pass
the Senate. There was an interesting de-
bate in the Senate, Saturday, on the bill al
lowing women TO vote in school meetings.
The bill was advocated by Senators Sprague,
Carpenter, Bigelow, Powers, and Butter
field opposed by Senators Morrill,, Hinck-
ley, Veazey and Adams. II was finally de-
ieated by small majority. DR.. Henry
Boynton, of Woodstock, is elected COM

final doings of the legislature is reserved

THE INDIASs.-Mr. Felix Il. Brunot,
Chairman the Board of Indian Commits
soners, writes to Geo. II. Stuart, ESQ, as
follows:-
81 was glad to zee the Presidents letter to
you, not that | had any doubts as to his
course, but because it puts an end to the fear
excited in many minds by the false rumors
so industriouslv circulated that the 'Presi-
dents Indian Policy might prove to be a
failure.
at is impossible for such policy even
to meet with well-founded objections, IL its
purposes and methods are rightly under
stood, and equally impossible for II to fail,
If persisted in. Hence the efforts of had
men, with whose schemes 1t has interfered,
TO msrepres ent both its designs and modes
of working.
ats purpose Is 10 deal justly and merci-
fully with an unfortunate race of men, five
six tbs of whom are thoroughly conquered,
submissive and dependent, and to raise
them in the scale of humanity through the
appliances of Christian civilization TO pro-
tect the lives and property of our own peo-
pie upon the frontiers To render safe for
their occupancy all the territory of the
United States not already granted to the
Indians, and to secure honesty in the ex-
penditure of the Indian appropriations.
"0f the result of this policy in saving
millions of money since its Inauguration
the members of the Board OF Indian Com
missioners can all testify from their own
knowledge. That it has been a gratifying
success in the other aspects contemplated,
wherever it is fairly in operation, those OF
us who have visited the Iudian roserva-
tiOns can testify.
Even under the most savage tribes, and
under the greatest possible local disadvant-
ages, it has Kept thousands OF Indians in a
state of quiet who would Otherwise have
been with the hostile bands on the war

ARTIFICIAL CLOUDS. -Solomon says, "He
that regaadeth the clouds shall not reap"
but the reapers on the Rhone have
lately been studying the clouds to some
purpose; they have succeeded in manu-
featuring them to order. Successful ex-
periments, according to the Lyons Progress,
have been undertaken by the vinedressers'
congress for the production of artificial
clouds. Tin receivers filled with a pecul-
iarly prepared tar were disposed over an
area OF many acres and when the tar was
ignited thick white clouds rose into the at
mosphere, and, spreading out evenly over
a large region, remained suspended several
yards above the soil. The reader will at
once understand the object and use of this
device. In seasons when frost is feared the
tar-clouds would interpose between the
crops and the sky, thus checking the night
radiation which often causes such ravages
in vineyards find gardens, both in spring
aud at harvest-time. This experiment Of
the French husbandmcn is therefore some
thing more than a curious scientific feat
II is a valuable agricultural contrivance, all
the more useful from the simplicity and
cheapness of its machinery, a few dollars
worth of tar being ample provision for
season until the dangers of frost are past or
till the crops can no longer be injured.
This device for clothing the fields with
protecting robe of vapor, taken together
with the well-known process OF cannonad-
ing tho clouds to make them "tell their
beads in drops of rain" shows how the

Haskins, Governor Stewart and ]. d.
Hatch have voluntarily appeared before
the legislative committee appointed to in
vestigate the charges against the managers
Of the Vermont Central railroad company.
Col. Veazey said he was never employed
by the managers of that, or any other road,
in any matter Of legislation, and that he
had never prior to the present session,
been member Of the legislature. That he
was employed in the summer of 1869 by
Mr.. Hatch to go to Middlobury and YER
gennes, and perhaps to Burlington, to at
tend 10 matter of business for them, which
he did. He was at Montpelier day or two
during the session Of that fall solely TO at
tend the officers reunion. While there Mr..
Hatch paid him s50-being about ten dol
lars a day for his time, besides expenses
out. That was all.
Governor Stewart testified that he was
employed professionally, to appear before
the committee on railroads, to resist the
charter of the Lake Shore railroad;'' that
he was summoned to Montpelier, and, with
Judge Poland, Hon. G.. w. Willard and b.
+. Fiheld, appeared before the committee
for that purpose, but the bill not being
pushed, he went home. That never, while
State officer, was he retained In matters
before the legislature. He never was cor
ruptly approached in Montpelier, and new
or knew of member being so approached.
The other gentlemen named, with the ex-
ception Of Mr. Hatch, testified that they
were not retained by the Central managers
until after the close of the session of the
Legislature, and then strictly on profess
sional business, in their several counties.
Furthermore, that during the session, after
the close of which they were retained,
there was not, to their knowledge, any leg
islation, or proposed legislation, affecting
the interests of that railroad or of its man
ayers.
10 ID. Hatch testified corroborating the
testimony Of the other witnesses. He stat
ed that the gentlemen were retained TO tat
tend to legal matters and nothing else.
never expected their services to effect leg
islation, and never asked them TO do so.
presented an account to the trustees and
managers Of the Central embracing these
accounts, charging them as spent in resist

Speaking of the Legislative bribery in
vestlgation, the NJ ontpelier Freeman makes
these very just reflections at was doubt
less an inadvertence OF Mr.. Hatch agent
of the Vermont Central) in rendering his
bill for these retainers under the head oil
expenses incurred in resisting adverse
legislation, and he probably will not do so
again. We presume, however, no person
acquainted with the devices resorted to by
moneyed corporations TO carry their points,
will have any doubt that these railroad re-
tainers were intended 10 influence legisla-
ton. Whether they did or not, is quite
another question. There can be little
doubt, however, that lawyer who has a
general retainer for railroad, is hardly an
unbiased Judge OF the merits OF any legis-
lation which affects his clients, and rail-
roads are therefore doubtless wise in their
generation when by retainers they make
friends of lawyers who as legislators, may
have vote to give on questions affecting
such corporations; and we think We can
imagine sensitiveness perhaps oldiash-
ioned) that would refuse retainer under
such circumstances.
