Fatal Surgical OperatiOn.-Last Thurs
day DR.. John L. Atlee, of Lancaster, as
sisted by some fifteen physicians, including
DR.. s. II. Brehm, of this place, attempted
to remove an ovarian tumor from a lady
residing in Mercersburg, but unfortunately
found that the tumor had grown fast not
only to the walls of the abdomen but also
to the intestines; and after removing about
two buckets of fluid it was found imprac-
ticable to do anything further, and the
wound was sewed up. We understand
that the patient died some few hours after
the operation. She was unmarried. .-NeW-

Great CuriOsity.-Last week, Mr..
Henry Kline, of Juniata township, brought
to this Office ore of the most remarkable
curiosities we ever saw. This consisted of
hens egg having we'll developed snake
inside the shell. The egg was one that was
fresh laid, and full size. When broken, Mr..
Kline noticed something mixed in the
white which he thought he would take
out. He therefore lifted it up, when he
noticed it move, and closer examination
showed a tongue dart out in the most ap-
proved snake fashion, while the eyes could
be plainly seen. So singular freak of
nature was worth particular notice, and
so he placed the egg and snake in a glass
and brought it to this Office, where it was
examined by great number of persons,
all of whom expressed their astonishment
The snake was about two inches long and
about as thick as turkey quill, and was
almost colorless. The questions which
naturally arise are, how did it come there
and what would have been the result had
the egg been hatched?

From the n, o. Times
It is generally known that the
recent visit of Governor Kellogg
To Now York related to the above
road and the fuading bill and he
having returned, states that, as
anticipated, the great obstacle in
The way was The question of title
to the road. With that cleared UP
and disencumbered, there were
plenty Of means available to push
Che road through OF an early day
to the Sabine, It was conceded
that the road must be closed out
either on the first cr second mort.
gage bonds; it 90 the first, then
the second bonds would be utterly
lost, but the title would be clear
aud the road, as FIR as completed,
made available for obtaining the
means necessary to carry on the
work to the Sabine river. III, how
ever, the road was sold, and the
State, as be holder Of the second
mortgage, should come into pos.
session By the payment Of tho first
mortgage, chat is $40, 500 per mile
on the road To Donaldsonyille, that
also would clear the title. The
State, being provided with the
necessary means from without,
could overreach competition, since
it could safely bid to the full
amount of both first and second
mortgage bonds, and the encun-
ORANGES being thus removed, capt.
tallsts would not be afraid to take
hold Of the road and complete it.
Although flvoring the latter plan,
as being conservative of the inter-
ests OF the State, still the Governor
IS persuaded that the condition of
Q tar title, by ore means or the
other, is only wanting to render
the building Of the road at an
early day absolutely certain, un-
less something unforeseen shall
happen calculated to SOW re-
lewod distrust Id the minds oil
capitalists as to the safety Of
their money in the public |
improvements of this State. Upon
hat state of the case, the owners

We note in nearly al our Dem

expression Of desire for a politi-

Republican party. II il noto-
rious that at the late session Of
Congress the advocates Of the KEEL
logg government commended for
the legality Of that government on
the ground, among others, that
some twenty thousand negroes
would have voted the Kellogg

political organization Of the white |
men Of the State against the black |
cohorts Of the Republican party. |
The latter party, nine-tenths Of
which are negroes, is organized, |

voters are disorganized, undiscip- |
lined, and disunited. The absorb

ave q union Of hearts and a union

A State Convention al Alexan-

On Friday evening, the 26th III
timo, a temperance lecture was
delivered at the courthouse In this
place, by the Rev. Trippet, Of the
nj. r. Church South. To the sur
prise Of many, the audience was
unusually large, and manifested
an interest in the subject not an
ticipated BY those familiar with
the habits Of our people. The
lecture was chaste and to the point.
and produced a serious effect upon
many thought to be outside the
pale OF such Influences. AT lis
close, an invitation was extended
to all who were willing to sign a
pledge to abstain from the use,of
Intoxicating liquors as a beverage.
and was literally responded to,
especially BIZ Che young men. La
dies were also invited to sign, and
they, ton, came forward AZ thew
always do ID any effort to reform
our sex. The move should be
encouraged by old and young, and
It will certainly have our cordial
encouragement and support.
