BRUNSWICK, Ne. Nav 20. 1874

To the Editor Of the american =
Some days since patient with a lady
friend came here to the clinique at th.
Medical College, from Prcsque Isle to have
Bronchocele removed. Prof Greene. the
Surgeon. saw the patient aud declihcd to
operate until the parents could be COM
municated with. The result was the
mother aud other friends came. The DIR.
stated the whole case. the risk to be run.
and the probability Of success or rather
the possible chances 0fsucces.. in the re.
moyal of the tumor.
The patient was girl of shout u wears
of age. and so large had become the tu-
NOR, a. greatly to impede the respiration
and also it had begun TO effect the cireula-
ton. The decision was to operate, as the
tumor if left where il was, would soon
kill the child.
| The girl came before the class on Wed.
nesday and DR.. Greene proceeded to re.
move the tumor, an operation which was
successfully performed. and the heinor-
rhage was by no means large, but the pa
| tient sank and died in collapse about thirty
minutes after the operation was conplet-
ed. not reviving from the anesthetic used,
which was ether. All measures were re-
sorted to, to sustain life, but failed.
DIR. Greene had previously operated up
on six similar cases and was successful
in four instances, these are the only in
stances where this operation has been at
tended with success upon record the
other two patients as in this instance died
from collapse.
In the present case the DR.. spoke quite
at length to the class telling its members
that the result could not be predicted, but
he hoped for the best. and believed thai
former successes warranted his action in
the present instance.
We report the case from personal know
ledge. having listened to the explanations.
examined the patient with DIR. Greene,
and witnessed the operation. Great in.
terest was felt, aud many eminent men,
bers of the profession were present.

If We must have school districts, why
can they not be known by some other
names than l, 2, 3. &c? Almost every
week we see in the American All item, in
forming lis that district No. something i.
building or repairing II schoolhouse. or
that Mr.. or Mrs. or Miss so and SO is
teaching therein. These districts are
usually numbered in the order OF their for
nation. and and ? may be at opposite
extremes OF the town. while and 10
may be adjoining districts. In the reports
Of 5. S. Committees the districts are usual
ly referred TO by their numbers. This
may be, and no doubt is. very pleasant and
Ineligible to those Immediately concern
ed. but is tantalizing to the interested out
siders, who may be acquainted with the
locality, but cannot retain these perplex-
ing Nos. Now if instead, We see a notice
referring to Prospect. or some other har-
Dor. Martins, or some other ridge, Seal,
or some other cove, Oak. or some other
point, Beech or some other hill, Newbury
or some other neck, Long, or some other
pond, Bartlett's. or some other island,
every one acquainted with the town car
understand what locality is referred to.

OUR AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS.

The Changers will have TO look after Con-
gress in the matter Of the report OF the Com
missioner of Agriculture. The members hav.
ing reduced their pay to the old figure at
which ii was when the franking privilege was
in order, protest their pecuniary inability to
send the agricultural reports, at their own ex-
pense, even il they were printed, which they
are moi. The reports for 1923 remain I'M
published. simply because Congress, in pique,
will not order their publication until some
provision is made to forward them TO their
constituents, free Of expense TO themselves.
As there is no apparent disposition on the part
Of Congress to either repeal or modify the law
abolishing the franking privilege, it is proba-
bic that there will be no reports from the Ag-
ricultural Department for some time to come.
Applications for these reports pour in by the
thousand. weekly. As it is, the Agricultural
Department is Of no special value to the pub
lie; its operations being restricted to the dis
semination Of incomplete. and consequently in
accurate. statistics, and to the distribution to
members of Congress. and . few others, OF
quantities Of vegetable and flower seeds.
P. S. The House has just passed, after .
long debate. the amendment of Mr.. G. +. Hoar
to the Post Office appropriation bill. as amend
ed by Mr.. Mills, of Texas. BY which the agri-
cultural reports, monthly and annual, are to
go by mail free Of postage. 1t remains to be
seen whether the Senate will concur.

The HENRY T. MILLER PIANo-FoRrEs.
The instruments from this establishment
are rapidly comm g into public notice
and favor. and already occupy foremost
position among frst-class pianos
Mr.. Miller is himself practical mechan-
ic, and thorough musician, and the su-
periority which these pianos have over 9th
ers, is owing in large measure to the
careful supervision which each instru-
ment receives from the manufacturer be-
fore it is allowed to leave his lssablish-
ment. The award of the contract to FUR
nish the public schools of Boston with
pianos must be very gratifying TO Mr..
Miller, and is a testimony Of the musical
public to the high position which these
Instruments occupy. The severe test that
they have received at the New England
Conservatory of Music. and at many 9th
er public institutions where they are in
constant daily use, is guarantee of their
many excellent qualities, and especially of
their durability. They are nsed and rec
commended by most of the leading musi-
clans of Boston.
