We had our attention called a few days since
to "A very interesting ease of a bright little girl

she had serious fit of illness when about tit-
teen months old and it left ner with double club
feet and such deformity of the lower eXtrem-
tiles that she could neither walk or stand Many
OF our citizens will no doubt remember contrib
utng a small amount to assist in the purchase
of surgical apparatus required to be applied
after an operation. A careful measurement was
taken of all the parts and an order forwarded
to Messrs. Geo. Tiemannn & Co. of New York
city, who executed the order promptly and in
manner which reflects much credit to them as
manufacturers. On the 10Th of November DR..
John Homer of this city, performed the opera
alton by dividing fourteen tendons or cords, and
after which Strengthened the feet and limbs, then
applied the apparatus. We saw this little girl
put the fiat of her feet to the floor and assume
the attitude of walking. We are informed that
this is the one hundredM surgical operation
which the DR.. has performed since the 18th day
of January last the day that he commenced
business in Belfast. AS far as we are able to
learn he has been successful in every case. We
were informed to-day that the little giH is plo-

short-was hardly what you would call

seldom cared at whose expense it was per-
petrated Returning to New Bedford on
the steamer was large party who had
been over to attend the camp meeting OF
Martha's Vineyard. 1t was Sunday even
ing, and, naturally enough, number OF
passengers gathered in the ladies' cabin
for divine service. Into this crowd Chuck
insinuated himself just as the hymn. MY
soul, be on thy guard" was given out.
The crowd Joined in with will, and had
suna to the end Of the second line, "Ten
thousand foes arise" when shrin female
voice WAS heard, "Hold on you've started
it too high" There was dead pause for
a few seconds, broken at length BY tho
good natured suggestion of Chuck. "sup'
pose you start her at five thousand !" Amid
the general laughter that followed Chuck
retired. and the meeting came to On end.

CHAPTER XII
THE DISPATCH.

Eugene went directly to the homo OF his
betrothcd after leaving Gray's office. His
brain was in q whirl, and as yet he could
hardly realize his good fortune. Two days
before he would have seen fortune in
thousand dollars-and yet he had justsign-
ed cheque for two hundred times that
amount!
"What will the operatives think2" he
muscd as he walked along. ri hope they
will regard me rs they always have-as
their friend still. And Bertha and Fanny!
How pleased they will BEL They never
once suspected what I was up to, and I
presume they are worrying over that offer
at this very minute! And how little need
there was of any worry at all"
With such thoughts as these the young
man hastened along, little dreaming of the
steps his attorney had taken to secure for
himself the large sum he had just, it seem.
cd to him, given away.
When he reached the house he found the
party he had left still in the sitting-room.
Grover had improved greatlyin appearance
during his short absence, and his face,
which was pale enough before, was now
slightly flushed, aud his eyes looked bright

Glad news which he was now free to tell
them, he could hardly restrain the most

himself in chair and joined in the general
conversation.
It might have been imagination, but be
fancied that every eye in the room was fix.

his hat with both hands.

first. "You are acting just as you did yes.
