A Dog Resurrected by TRANSMISSION OF
Blood.

YESTERDAY afternoon delicate and
difficult surgical operation was performed
at the Medical College, in illustration OF
the theory of the TRANSMISSION of blood.
The operation took place under the direc-
ton OF Prof. Mason, teacher Of physiol-
ogy, and WAS witnessed by the entire
faculty, the students and large number
Of other persons.
Two dogs were secured, one little
larger than the other. They were both
placed under the influence of ether, and
rendered inscnsible. One end of thin
rubber tube, filled with bicarbonate of
soda 10 keep the blood from coagulatinp,
was then inserted into the carotid artery
OF dog No ], the larger one, and the
other end into the jugular vein OF dog
No. 2. The tube was securely fastened,
so that there was no danger OF its slipping.
A vein was then opened in the latter and
all the blood drawn off until respiration
ceased, and the dog was TO all intents and
purposes dead.
BY the aid of an air-pump artificial
respiration was kept up in the body and
the blood turned on through the tube from
dog No. /. In few minutes, after about
four ounces of blood had been transferred
into the carcass Of the dog he began to
breathe. His rcspirations gradually re-
turned and In short time were nearly as
strong as before the operation.-Bgtato

A Terrible Night in the Snow.

On Saturday of last week Thomas F..
Watson, young many OF twenty-three
years, who had been in this valley on a
visit, attempted to return to his home in
Round Valley, about six miles north of
this place. A lad named Minor Wallace,
some fourteen years of age, nephew OF
Up. Wallace, of Round Valley, having
been here several months at school, and
wishing to see his uncle and family with
whom he had lived for years, concluded
on snow-shoes. They assembled the noun
tain north of town without especial diff
Guilty, but after turning the summit one of
WatsOn's snow-shOes got away from him,
which left him no other alternative but
to wade in four or five feet OF snow. This
be did distance down the hill, until the
boy lost one of his shoes, when Watson
took the remaining two shoes and at
tempted to carry the boy, which he did
for a few steps only when he found it i'm
possible to proceed in that manner. Night
was now coming on, and Watson being
considerably exhausted appeared to give
up, and although they were but
little more than mile from Wal
lace's place the boy could not in
duce him to make another effort to go
there. Sinking down in the snow he
commenced to beat himself, deplore his
situation and implore the boy to lie down
by him that they might die together, The
boy, refusing to lie down, told him that
he would go TO Wallace's and procure as
sistance. He accordingly started off for
that purpose, but after proceeding short
distance with much difficulty he found a
place where the uplifting of the roots Of a
tree had formed shed, under which there
was little or no snow. He then concluded
to try to get Watson in there before leay-
In him. He accordingly returned to his
companion, tramping down the snow to
enable him the better to get through; but
he could not induce him TO move, and
after an unsuccessful attemptto drag him,
he watched with him until he died, and
day breaking he started for home. About
nine o'clock Sunday morning he had sue
ceeded in reaching the fence near the
house, when he halloed and Wallace came
10 his assistance. His hands and feet
were found to be frozen, but DR.. Snow,
who was called to attend him, informs us
that he will not lose any of his limbs
