Transfusing the Blood Of Sheep Into
the Veins of q Human Being.

An operation was performed upon a
patient at the Louisville City Hospital
recently by Drs. Brandels and Wilson,
which is not often attempted, namely,
that of the TRANSMISSION of the blood OF
a sheep into the veins of human be-
ing. The subject of the operation was
a man named Wentley, who was admit
ted to the hospital some time since.
His disease baffled the skill of the best
medical talent in the city, as they were
totally unable to determine the nature
of it. General inanition was what the
resident graduates of the hospital
termed it. A gradual loss of strength
and flesh accompanied by feeble pulse
and difficult breathing were the symp-
toms of his disease. The doctors men
toned deemed the operation that they
had prepared to perform the only
chance to save his life. A young lamb
was procured and bled. The blood was
then deflerinated by DR.. Wilson. Eight
ounces of the blood were then injected
into the left arm. An immediate and
perceptible change for the better was
noticed, and the beating of the pulse
was easily observed. Eight ounces more
were then injected, and the pulse was
observed to beat quite steadily. The
patient was then replaced in his bed
and fed upon beef tea. At 10 o'clock in
the evening, although sill very weak, he
was in q much better condition than on
the morning previous to the performing
of the operation. 1t is not expected
that the patient will recover, though
there is strong probability Of such an
event. Paper.

The Stone Val Problem

The problem Of our West Paris cor
respondent. in our issue Of the 18th inst,
has elected some attention. and we have
received five communications in relation
TO 1t. The problem was as follows:
4. and 3. contract with c. 10 build 100
rods OF wall tor 800. A. commences at
one end. and has 1925 per rod; b. COM
mences at the other, and has IS cents.
How many rods must each man build to
get s5O'
Uncle Bill OF Hartford, thinks the
problem an absurdity. for, TO get $50
apiece, LOG 2S rods OF wall will be built.
Another North Newry correspondent
says: "A. commences at the first corner,
running south 10 rods TO stake; u. COM
nences at the second corner. running
south Go rods and II feet to a stake-thc
two corners being hundred rods apart.
B. has gone to Washington, TO see II he
can get his salary increased TO build the
60 rods.
NY. L." from BryanI's Pond. says
Perhaps it is fair problem. as stated
but fail to see it," and he presents it in
this way, as he thinks it should be:
4. and b. contract to build loo rods Of
stone wall for 500. As it is worth more
to build AS end of the wall than il is BIS,
A. receives so cents more per rod than
B., and each receive $50 How many
rods DO each build, and at what price per
rod?
A West Paris correspondent says:
Seine will say that this example will
not prove, but think it will. In the
first place if they build the sans number
of rods there would be no trouble. but as
Mr. b builds 25 rods more than Dir. A,
there ID gain for Mr. c of y cents
rod less than sl.00 rod which he is 10
pay for building, therefore A and B lose

they both get; and if they arc to have
