The Surgeons of the National Surgical
Institute, located in Indianapolis; Pacific
Division, Alhnmhra Building, Bush
Street San Francisco, have yielded to the
many urgent appeals from their patrons
and friends in Oregon and Washington
Territory and adjoining regions to re-
visit Portland. The former visit was
highly satisfactory and encouraging,
many Of the patients then accepted for
treatment being now entirely cured,
while nearly all are greatly benefited and
in fair way Of recovery. Three or more
of the Surgeons will be Mt the Cosmopol-
iian Hotel in Portland, Oregon, from
Monday, the 2Sth day of August, until
Saturday, the I'd September, 1876, six
days inclusive.
They will have with them great
amount of ofsurgical apparatus, appliances,
etc, and competent assistants and work
men to change, fit. ard make such appa-
ratus as may be required. They will
come especially prepared to treat all
surgical cases: Paralysis, all kinds OF

Private Diseases, Piles, Fistula, etc. all
who wish to avail themselves of the adj

.Au Episode at tho Police COMat.

Last evening, about eight O'Clock, an old
colored man, known as Lou Bourdley, who
is employed at the slaughter-houses
throughout the city, came to the Police
Court complaining that his arm was bro
ken. He was somewhat under the intiu-
cnce of liquor, and his cries Of pain at first
excited but little sympathy; but he at last
became SO dcmonstraivc that there could
be no doubt that he was suffering extreme
pain. Chief O"roole dispatched an officer
for DR.. West, who soon made the discovery
that LOUIS shoulder was out of place. AZ
ter considerable trouble and many shrieks
Of pain from the patient, his coat WAS re-
moved, and he was made to lie down ON
his back, when the Doctor, with tho aid of
one of the officers, and with somo hard pull,
ing, succeeded in putting the dislocated
member in place. Lou was then bandaged
up, and, as he shuflca out of the room to
the cell assigned hi.l, he muttcred: "Yes;
jis' SO, sab; jis' 80" How, or where he
fell he could not definitely tell, but 1t was
probably in the neighhorhood of TatDan
and Third streets.

The examination which has been 60

emy closed yesterday. The students, with
out exception, acquitted themselves with
unusuel credit, aud the examinations were
satisfactory in all respects. This excellent
educational institution occupies an elegant
suite Of rooms Oh the second floor OF the
Masonic Temple. The school-rooms are
large and cheerful, well lighted and venti-
lated, and fitted with all the modern i'm
provements. The rooms are ornamcnted
with busts and pictures Of the eminent and
literary men of the age, and also with nu-
merous oil PAINTINGS. A library Of several
hundred volumes Of text books aud book of
reference supplies the school with instruc-
tive reading matter. A cabinet Of valuable
curiosities, Of minerals, relics etc., occu.
pies prominent place and attracts much
interest. The principal, Dr.. :. W. Muir

A Fine Hotel.

n HtNc IOtCt
With that energy and enterprise charac-
teristic of him, ex-Sheritf Herbert, has,
since he come in possession of the jefferson
but effectively to work to improve the prop
erty, and has succeeded in transforming it
into the second best hotel in the State. The
interior has been almost entirely replastered
and repapered, and other changes made
which entirely alter its appearance. The
rooms are convenient and commodiOus, and
the parlors and dining hall, in keeping with
the greatly improved condition Of the hotel.
Mr.. Herbert is now erecting fine brick
stable, which is Immediately to the rear Of
the building. Other extensive improve
ments are also being made, which We have
not time at present to notice, but the erec-
tion of balcony porch fronting the river is
SO decidedly the very thing, that passing
notice would not do it justice. As a com-
Portable place Of quiet enjoyment on warm
summer afternoon, there is nothing7like it
in New Castle.
In obtaining so popular and genial a
landlord as Mr.. Millington, Mr. Herbert
has accomplished just the result aimed at,
first-class hotel in every respect for New
Castle. Mr.. Millington, who is too well
known to need a recommendation from us,
has now at the house ana ready to be
placed over the building set of furniture,
from the finest carpets to simple wash
stand, not cqualcd by any hotel in this State.
save one.
Under the new management, and with
such conveniences, this will be popular
summer resort, and hotel patronized by
an appreciative travelling public. There is
no place on the Peninsula SO inviting as a
summer resort now as New Castle, sup
piled with such an institution ss the Jeffer-
son House.

General NesUs of InteTest.

General NesVs OF lnfe7'eSts
From our Regular Correspondent
DOVER, March 10, 1876.
Everything is dull; the principal busi-
ness of the town is talk. The Town Com
missioners are talking about putting down
drain and sewer pipes along one or two of
the principal streets, but how much talk
there is in it may be inferred from the fact
that the Town Collector reports that, on
account of the hard times, 1t is impossible
to collect taxes, and consequently he is
about 81 1905 behind in his collections
about half the town contingent.
Dover last year had the base ball fever,
but 1t seems to have died out among the
people, and even among the players them
selves. Several efforts have been made to
get meeting of the club, but go far have
not been successful, and the prospect for
good club in Dover next year is very slim.
A singular mania has seized the citizens
of this town-a mania for chequers, or
draught playing. In all parts of the town
parties may be seen hanging over the
chequer board at all times in the day. All
classes, old and young, seem to be af-
ficted.
The Levy Court has been in session this
week. Most of the time hos been spent
hearing appeals from the Assessment.
With the opening of Spring, improve
ments have commenced. Mr.. David Har-
rington Is reconstructing the storehOuse
owned by him, on Loockerman street, put
ting in glass front and enlarging it. Sew
eral other improvements are about 20 be
commenced. Dover has been looking up
quite rapidly within the last few years to
an extent scarcely to be realized by even
those conversant with the facts, both in pop
ulation and business. There has been an
increase in population of ten per cent. a
year since 1870, while its business has in
ere ased nearly double that ratio. 1t sup
plies the wants of the podulation for ten
miles around, and necessarily Of about
Is, 900 people, while five or six years ago it
scarcely supplied one-third Of this number
Rev. Geo. R. Bristor, "the young and
talented elocutionist," as his circular states

Thursday evening, to small audience.

HUlY,iII0fOH Station.

Harrington, as is well knowntO our read
ers, is the point where the Delaware and
Brcakwater meet. IT is now quite an i'm
portant railroad point, as the Breakwater
road now runs in connection th the Frank
ford ronl as far south as Chincoteague,
thus greatly increasing its passenger and
other traffic. We do not pretend to say
which of the corporations is responsible for
the utter want of accommodation for pas
sengers who are compelled to wait at this
point for trains. In consequence of the
time on which the trains are run, passen
gers changing from one to the other of the
above roads are compelled to wait at that
point about an hour. Our informant, in
company with some ladies, was compelled
to pass, upon two occasions this week, a
weary hour waiting for connecting train.
We searched in vain for seat Of any kind
with which to accommodate the ladies.
Our sympathy was especially awakened for
a lady who was compelled to walk about
with child in her arms. Determined to
find something in the way OF seat, we ex-
plorcd the dark reccsses OF filthy shanty,
called station, and espied coffin box in
the corner. We hauled it out and invited
the ladies to lake a seat, without explain
ing what it was; but one Of them, keener
eyed than the others, said, "No, thank you;
If the railroad companies arc too mean to
provide seats for waiting passengers, we
will stand, and nurse the crying baby by
turns, so as to relieve its mother" Think
of It, that in station not hundred miles
from Wilmington, and on the line of a rail
road leased by wealthy corporation, that
cotfln-box was the only make-shift for a

THE u. y. COURT.
The McLeNT BNuETuafrU Case,


In the United States District Court, which
met at ~ O'Clock yesterday morning, Judge
Bradford delivered his opinion in the case
Of the petition Of VIM. Candy, assignee of
j. McLear Il Son, bankrupts, to be per-
mitted to prove the joint claims against the
individual estate of John Z. McLear, and
to share pro vata with his separate credi-
tors.
The case was argued some time since by
Messrs. Bradford and Bates for the as
signee, and Hon. r. F. Bayard, for the in
dividual creditors of John Z. McLear.
The Court decided that the claim of the
assignee of the firm could not be proved so
