A DrLIcArx SURGICAL OPERATION
On the ID Of September last, Angelo
Piecola had his arm caught in the belt
ing OF the machinery Of the Petaluna
mill and badly crushed. Amputation
was deemed necessary by the doctors,
but the man would not submit to IL. He
said he would rather die than lose his arm.
He was 90 determined ON this point that
the attending physician. DIR. Kirby. &C
ceded to his request to try and save II.
DIR. Kirby called in Drs. Hall and Web
Der TO assist him and then commenced q
series Of surgical operations that have
not had their equal in this State since
its formation. First, IN inch and three
quarters Of bone were taken out above the
elbow and the two ends Of bone joined
together by means Of q silver wire. For
fourteen days the mans life hung upon
q thread. No one expected him to live,
not even the most sanguine. In time n
second operation was performed. by
this time modification had set
in and muscles and flesh had to
be removed. When this was done
il was found that IL would be necessary
TO remove another inch and a quarter Of
the bone. making three inches in all.
This operation was performed most sue
cessiuily. Yesterday the last operation
was undergone by him and now he in
doing well with . great prospect OF hav-
ing his arm good Tor service once more.
II will be. however. three inches shorter
than his left arm. He can now move
his arm below the elbow. and can give
his friends as hearty . clasp Of the hand
as they eould desire. Taken all in all,
this is an operation Of which the attend
ing physicians may well be proud.
Par. CisEI's EDUCATED a .-Praises
have been sung Of dogs and horses from
time immemorial. and bards have i'm
m~ortalized them in verse. but poor
Tabby seldom receives any notice what
ever unless it Is in admiration Of her
claws. There are good cats and bad cats
and cats that are much worse, but Pat.
Cassy's educated JEFF. carries of the
palm as n trick cat. Ne Is Of the species
known as calico brindle. or white and
waller; he il not much Of either, but ut
the same time is a great deal Of both.
Every morning a matinee is held in Ca
sey's saloon, and is started by a half
dollar being thrust among the sawdust.
JEFF. is then called and he grabs that
half with more celebrity than a check
guerilla could a white check. Then the
fm begins. JEFF. plays around until he
gets a little weary. and then he wants to
jump. Talk about Joe Nelson's "Pets,'
at the International Hotel in Virginia,
why he il nowhar. This cat JET. will
Jump Ave feet high, and II you are rot
satisfied will purr around n repeat II.
He does not rush of like Pete and hide
himself. Not he. Casey was offered
$50 for the cat by Montgomery Queen,
for his circus, but the offer was refused.
A delegation Of tho sporting fraternity
are now willing to back this cat against
any other in the world 10 jump in tho
air, best three out Of Ave. for any sum
10 be named.
A RoBBE. ARRnTEp.--A day or so
ago a colored man was arrested by

boarding house OF Mrs. Price. on ID
street, had been discharged, and being
out Of work. gratifed his thisvish pro-
psnsities by returning TO the house and
going through the rooms OF the dodgers.

nsighborhood Of $500 worth Of personal
property. A portion OF this has been

Virginia. for sleeping accommodations.
Last night two unfortunatss put in an
appearance and were provided for BY

they had walked all the way from Win.

robsratsd by their appearance. With
no shoes TO speak Of, coats and pants in
rags, brimless hats and discolored shirts,
these two strong men formed q picture
Of misery. sorrowing to gaze upon.
