A CARD.

Having been subject to considerable mis-
representation concerning a surgical operation
performed in this township eight or nine
years ago, l take this method of publicly
stating the facts in the case, in order to do
justice to all concerned. Mr. Cyrus Howell
received fracture and dislocation of shoulder.
Dr.. z. was called and set the limb for dsloca-
ton only-everything was supposed to be
right, but the patient became dissatisfied and
consulted DR.. B., who pronounced everything
correct. The patient, however, was uneasy
with the operation, and some time afterward
came to me for examination; examined him
and found that everything was not right; the
operation previously performed, having been
of long duration, and the case not being mine
originally, recommended him to secure the
services of some surgeon possessing more and
better knowledge than could be obtained at
home. He went with me to Columbus and
Pittsburgh to have an operation performed
1t was discovered at the last mentioned place
that in addition to dislocatiou there was a
fracture of the ''anatomIcal neck" L charged
him very small sum for my time and
trouble, and only accompanied him at his so
licitation, with the view to securing small
outlay to the patient, he being poor and una
BILE to pay an extensive fee. The claim has
been put forth that bore the expenses of the
trip, and that the patient was mine,-this is
done to offset case not dissimilar to the one
above cited. now on hand near this place and
treated by DR.. J. A. HobsoD.
Very respectfully, ]. V. WEBSTER, NJ. D.

liBg home together in 2:26 The judges de
cided the heat dead one.
BY this time George had become big fa
vorite, selling in the pools at $50 against 81!
for the field
Third Heai-Shaker Boy was withdrawn
leaving four horses in the race. The contest
was altogether between George and Lucy, the
other two horses not doing well enough To
call any attention to themselves. George got
in inst in 2:26, beating Lucy about half a
length.
Fourth Heat-This heat was like the third,
all the interest centering in George and Lucy,
and beautiful race they made of it. As
they came down the homestretch it Was i'm
possible to tell which had the advantage, so
nearly even did they travel, but when within
two lengths of the wire George made a squirt
and shot under a little more than a neck
ahead, winning the heat and race in 2::22sii.

First Heat-The horses got an even- start,
but before the first quarter was done the con-
test had narrowed down to Sleepy George
and Lucy. These horses Travelled nearly

The Great Combination Show, on Friday,
appeared to be extensively patrionized both by
town and country people. According to our
notion OF shows it stands on fair average in
its line. There was fair representation of
animals, birds, &C., and they all appeared in
good condition and properly cared for. The
circus part, although not presenting many new
features, was good and afforded much amuse-
ment for those not accustomed to perforuan-
ces of that class. The boarding house feature
in the minstrel department was really funny
and well worth the dime invested.

An account of society scandal, which has
been agitating this community for some weeks
might be food for morbid tastes, but we have
concluded that recital of its details in our
columns would serve only to lacerate more
deeply the feelings of wronged and humiliated
families, and be of little or no public benefit,
and hence we omit it. In the meantime,
however, it cannot be expected that this
course will be continued by US, if perturbed
friends of either party persist in openly dis
turbing the public peace.
