hESULT OF ohlLLFUL oUkulCAl4 Ofhli-
ATIoS.-Readers will remember that five
or six weeks ago we gave in this column
the particulars of a skilful surgical oper-
alton, by Drs. Deal and Philson, on the
left leg of Everett Felt. 1t consisted Of
removing FIVE or six inches of the tibia,
or main bone of the left leg below the
knee. The bone was badly diseased,
and had been from the infancy of the
sufferer, and at the time the instruments
were applied it presented horrible APP
pearance, there being fungus-growth
extending to the surface from the dis
eased part covering large portion of the
lower part OF the leg. Removing the
diseased bone and this unnatural forma-
ton was the last and Only hope preced-
ing amputation. The operation was
thorough and complete, so far as the
affection had manifested itself along the
leg. Since then, We have watched the
result with much interest, as We knew
the surgeons themselves were far from
confident that the operation would save
the limb but we now believe Mr.. Felt
will be restored with whole leg. The
deep cut-which nearly severed the leg
is healing up healthily and rapidly from
the bottom, and the new flesh forming
seems perfectly natural. The promise
is that the knife has completely eradi-
Gated the terrible disease which has made
life q burden to the sufferer from early
boyhood,
FAILURE OF S. p. WHITMAN. The fail
ure of S. p. Whitman, a San Francisco
stock dealer, is reported in this morn
ing's dispatches. The intelligence was
at first received with some apprehension
here, from the fact that Mr.. Whitman s
business relations, through Mr.. j. n. Vi
mont, stock operator i'll this city, were
quite extensive with citizens Of Phoebe
but we have been assured, by gentlemen
well posted in regard to Mr.. Vimont's af-
fairs, that he is amply able to extricate
himself from all embarassments in which
he may be temporarily involved by Mr..
! Whitman's failure, and will make good
all losses in consequence thereof with
which he is connected as nm intermediate
agent. He goes to San Francisco this
morning to make the necessary arrange
ments for so doing.
