actively did work that in ten minutes
had scraped out a hole largo enough
for me to creep through, and painfully

myself breathing the free air of heaven
on the strip Of beach where the frag-

The Charm of Camp Life.

The r~ecreations of Americans have
been, more and more, running 10 lux
uries both enervating and expensive,
and ii is time that the note of warning
were raised. What with summer hops,
and carriage bills, and various incl
dentals, and board at $3.50 a day, the
family at Long Branch, Newport, or
Saratoga have eaten up all the savings
of the winter, and the lean kline have
been no fatter for their meal. The
camp Is at ono a sign Of, and an incen-
tive to, something better. For six
weeks you can live in an implanted, un-
plsstered cottage, or beneath canvas.
You dispense with kids and silk dresses.
You save carriage bills by walking, and
substitute a moonlight row on the lake
or river for a midnight hop. You go
to bed as soon after sunset rs con-
v~ersation lags, and rise with the
birds. You actually see a sun
rise or two. You pay $3.50 or $500
a day instead Of si.50, and make up for
tho absence Of luxuries by the presence
Of an appetite. Or you keep house on
both 'impler and cheaper fare the Der
ries thar the children pick and the fish
they catch are the staple articles Of diet

Curious Facts In Surgery.

A very interesting observation is often
made in men, in whom, for the purpose
of an operation, a piece of skin is re-
moved from its original position and
made to grow in another place. In or
der, for instance, to replace a nose that
has been destroyed by disease, or has
been wanting from birth, surgeons de-
tach a triangular piece of skin from the
forehead, so that it is only attached by
its apex to the root Of the nose, between
the eyebrows; they then fold the piece
over downwards and sew it on the skin
of the face, in the position of the nose.
The new nose, after a time, grows on
completely. If, however, it is pricked
with a needle, the person does not feel
the prick on the nose, but on the fore
head, the original position of the skin.
This sensation does not continue long
afterthe operation, and the person grad
ually becomes conscious that the locali-
ty Of the sensation is now q different
one, and thus, by experience, learns to
determine it correctly. A similar and
no less interesting observation is made
in the case of persons who have under
gone amputation. They very frequent
ly make the remark that they have sen.
sations in the amputated legs or arms,
just rs il the limbs were still exist
ing. They feel in them the effects of
frost and warmth. They say they feel
pain in this or that toe Vt the lost leg,
that they feel tickling, and itching, and
distinguish the exact point where these
feelings take place. The explanation
of these facts is quite simple. In the
stump of the a%mputated leg lie the di-
vided nerve trunks, which have provid-
ed the entire limb with sensory nerves.
In the healed sea the nerve-stems are
often irritated; and since the irritation
of the nerves is conveyed to the brain,
it causes sensation, and simultaneously
produces, we might almost say, from
habit, the picture of the same part of
the body in which they naturally end.
The brain, therefore, refers all these
sensations, from the experience it has
gained, TO the same limbs in which the
irritated nerves originate, even when
the limb itself is wanting. This very
remarkable phenomenon is a manifest
proof that the action of sensation takes
place only in the nervous center of the
brain, since eve when a part of the
body is wanting the sensation of its ex,
istence and irritation does not appear.

The Fourth was ushered in by pa
rade Of the "stay at home" members of
the Fire Company, with the hose car
riages, accompanied by crowd of men
and boys dragging six pound cannon
which they fired at every corner. Old
muskets, pistols, &C., were also seen in
the procession.
Three arrests for drunkenness were
made during the night
As announced, the Sunday school of
the NJ. II. Church assembled in the
school grove yesterday morning the
exercises were commenced by singing
America" a short prayer following by
Rev. }. B. Mann. The school and audi
ence, under the leadership Of A. ].
Brown, sang "The STIR Spangled Ban
ner." The Declaration of Independence
was read by James L. Scott. An effolt
having been made to procure speaker
from abroad, those present proving un-
successful, the Rev. DIR. Mann mounted
the Dox and made very appropriate and
| pleasing Centennial speech, of about ten
minutes duration, after which the audi
ence sang Praise God from Whom all
| Blessings fow," and were dismissed with
the benediction. Although the Fourth
was celebrated ON grander scale slse-
where, it was not celebrated more
patriotically any where else than in our
little city.
The rest of the day passed off very
quietly-the only accident we have
heard of was that of John McPike, who
burned his hand very severely while
loading a cannon,
A quite refreshing storm blew up in
the early part of the evening and mado
the atmosphere very agreeable. After
it cleared off there was quite a display

other black were the police result yes
