The Medical College reports the follow
ing case of surgery: Mrs. s., 20 years of
age, of Jericho, married, states that for the
past four years, she has had great pain in
the shoulder, fingers, and entire extent of
the arm, with excessive tenderness over Il
circumscribcd space about the middle and
inner side of right arm. On examination Il
subcutancous tumor was found about the
size of a hazel nut, situated deeply in the
middle of the arm. This tumor, circum-
scribcd, movable, on pressure exhibited cX-
quistc pain, which extended from the tt-
NOR throughout the distributions of the
mcdian nerve. The only course which
could possibly avail for the relief of the
patient, must he the removal of the tumOr
The operation was therefore at once per-
formed, and, in order to assure more GER
tain result, Il part of the nerve was removed
for nearly half an inch above and below the
tumor. 1t is expected that the relief thus
afforded will be complete. 1t must not he

times throw out proliferations, by which

bursting in the door the man was found
nearly suffocatcd, he having retired and
concluded to finish his smoking in bed, fell
asleep or was probably overcome by too
much beer, the fire from his pipe had burn
ed through the feather bed, and all under
it and lay upon the floor. The clothing
over him was burned, and of course ruined,
although not wholly consumed. The dam

$50.

a smoke. A warning to smokers not to
smoke in bed, and drinking men to keep
sober.

THE CONCORD RAnRoAD.-1'his road
has just elected a new board of directors.
One popularity Of this election, is the cleo
ton of the presidents and leading officers
on the Boston, Concord and Montreal and
Northern roads, to he directors of the Con
cord corporation. There are two solutions
tt this practical consolidation of these roads
One is, to guard against the contingency
of the Central Vermont reaching Boston
over any line which is not controlled b,
the Northern, and the other is, to give Tho
lower roads an opportunity of reaching the
West without going over the central Yer
mont. Undoubtedly both ideas have haC
something to do with this result. The lowe
roads have done all they could to injure TIN
credit of the Vermont Central, and nov
they want to be independent of it.-M0nt
