dispute arose between couple of pugilis-
tic gentlemen, as to which was the best man,
and both being in good fighting trim at it they
went. First round, Auburnite went to grass in
a mourning condition. First knock-down for
Ophirite, but no blood drawn. Second round;
Auburnite came to time promptly, in Ethiopian
style and was affectionately received under the
left wing of Ophirite, and-we left under the
impres ,ion that that would be the last round
and neither would win the belt.
FEMALE AcApAMY-We were shown the other
day, a sketch of the proposed Female Acadamy,
drawn by Mr.. Bethel, If the parties engaged
in this enterprise can casy out this plan, it will
no doubt be commodious and handsome build
ing, and we think we would not be far from the
truth if we say as fine an edice as there is this
side of San Francisco. 1t would be an orna-

working for this end
| SERIOUS Academia young man by the
name of Rudolph Keehner, living on ranch
near Bald Hill, three or four miles from Au-
| burn, met with serious accident on last Satur
day. He was engaged in blasting logs, and one
of the charges failing to go off, he stopped over
and poured some powder on the fuse, which ex-

DIFFICULT OPERATION PERFORMED .-Frenk
Lardner native of Michigan, in his seven
teenth year, was admitted into the Placer Ccun-
ty Hospital August r. 1878, with death (Necro-
sis) of the left thigh bone (femur). The disease
WAS of seven years standing and caused while
| piowing few burrows one afternoon. Violent
inflammation, accompanied by severe pain, set in
the next night followed by abscess and necro-
sis of the whole shaft of the femur. There
were several fstulous openings when admitted
to the Hospital, from which the dead bone was
being discharged in the form of pus. About
| three -fourths of the bone had thus soughed
away. The remaining portion (sequestrum)
was surro;l nded with shell of ncw bone. 1t
was deemed necessary to remove the seques
trum and for this purpose the following opera
ton was performed on the 18th of August, 1879
by Drs. Nelson, Tyrrel and Dubois: An incis-
ion eight inches in length was made on the out
side of the thigh and down to the new bone,
which was then cut through with q chisel and
mallet and the sequestrum removed with for
ceps There were two pieces whose aggregate
length was ten inches removed, and three smaller
ones The wound was then c]eansed and
untedh by means of silver wire, sutures and
strips of adhesive plaster. The case Is doing
well, and the patient will undoubtedly have a
good and useful leg The time occupied in the
