"JAWBONE VS.. MEDICUS."

EDITORS SENTINEL: IN TO-DAY'S
~ issue appeared an elaborate article un-
der the following caption, viz: Surgical
0peration,o which in my capacity as a pr9fes.
upon, the facts being simply tho follow
ing: Previous to having the alleged. op-
Grafton performed. Mr.. Hopkins told me
that DR.. Bishop had not seen him for a
to attend 10 his case as soon as he could see
the /. o. o. i. committee, under whose care
he then was. l then informed him that
something had to be done at once, or he
would be liable to lose the entire jaw if left
in the then condition it was in, as the dis
ease was spreading rapidly, ard that the
same ought to have been attended to long
since, l informed Mr.; Hopkins that the
teeth had to be extracted on the diseased side,
and an "incision" made upon the diseased
bone, SO as to allow the matter to exit, and
also to prevent the spread of the disease,
thereby giving nature full sway to resume
fragments. As soon as the said bony frag-
ments were ascertained to be loose, then to
extract them; but should the entire half be
diseased, then an ~incision would have to be
made on the Outside" and the bone ex-
cised.
DR.. Bishop having learned of my statement
to Mr.. Hopkins, hastily offered his services
to do that which / had urged, and finally did
the identical thing which l had advised Mr..
IL. to have done, namely: extracted the teeth,
made an incision upon the bone, and awaited
results, when a piece or portion became
loose. DR.. Bishop extracted the same at di-
yers times. until they weS all SO extracted,
thereby keeping the remainder of the bone
perfectly sound. | do not wish to leave the
impression that DR.. Bishop is not capable to
perform an excision of an entire half of ajaw-
bone, but | AN confident in this case
he performed no such surgical operation. [
would gladly acknowledge the performance
of such a mastery operation by any member
of the profession, but l can net in this in
stance do SO. DR.. Bishop called this remov-
ing the entire half Of the lower jaw bone, and
since a cartilaginous su INSTANCE can not form
in a week; then DR.. Bishop ONLY took out
small fragments. Nature and the advice of
the undersigned performed the balance.
L do not desire. Messrs. Editors, to take up
too much of your time and valuable space in
your paper, but merely wish to state that
bone" can not compete with "Medi-
GUS"
Respectfully,

C INTELLIGENCE.

DEMURRER OvERRULED. - Yester-
day, in the District Court, the argu-
ment upon the demurrer to defend
ants answer in the case of the Ruby
Consolidated Mining Company vs.. II.
Hynemann, ct al, was continued by
Messrs. Hillhouse and Baker for
plaintiff and CARRIER and Wren for de-
PENDANTS, and about 3 o'clock p. NJ. the
case was submitted to the Court.
Judge Cole Immediately rendered his
decision overriding the demurrer. The
decision is virtually to the effect that,
under the laws of Congress, no alien
can acquire title to mining ground in
the United States until such ground
shall have been patented to an Ameri-
can citizen, and consequently a con-
tract entered into by a citizen of the
United States with an alien to secure,
through the former for the latter, a
patent, being an evasion of the law,
cannot be enforced. The agents of
plaintiff announce their intention of
bringing up the matter again in an
other court.

Newspaper Correspondents.

The commcndable aud very general endeavors
Of journalists to obtain and publish items Of in
terest to the general reader, from whatever lo-
tality, has induced newspaper conductors to en-
gage individuals more nr less qualified, in all con
siderable towns as local correspondents. This
method of collecting intelligence is necessarily
attended with some expense 10 publishers and
imposes no small degree Of responsibility ON those
engaged rs correspondents. u they are COM
petent to such service, and worthy Of the trust
they will oit-dmcs need to exercise no small de-
gree Of discretion, both in the matter and manner
Of their communications To decide what Is Of
sufficient importance to receive notice, and at
the same time proper to be pnbshed-and If
30, how, or in what manner and spirit il should be
presented 10 the universal reader--may often try
the Judgment and conscience Of a reporter. For,
though there rests great responsibility on the
publishers, il is evident the correspondent must
be held to account for furnishing items, which
the editors may be tempted to publish, though
they may be pernicious to the susceptible reader.
Every intelligent reporter who observes and con-
siders how much the manners, the morals, aud
even the religious beliefs Of the people Of the
present dag are infuenced-in other words how
