OBITU AIRY,

The death Of MIR. j, T. Eastman. which oc-
CURED at his residence in Garfield. III this coun-
ty, Monday last, deserves more than passing
notice. For many years past he had bceu all
invalid, and in consequence withdrawn from
active life and public view, but he is rcnctn-
bered by most OF the old residents oil this city,
aud especially BY those who are convcrsant with
the early history Of the Wisconsin Division Of
the Northwestern Railroad, with the construc-
tion Of which he was prominently connected.
Many, indeed, now holding high positions US
officials ot the road first came West at the sog-
itatun of Mr.. Eastman, and commenced their
railroad career under him. 3lr. Eastman WIS
born in Kingston n. H., OIL the 18th Of April,
lS0s, and was therefore nearly 10 years old at
the tune Of his death. At all early period Of
his life he became interested iu railroad
matters, and previous to his emigration to
Illinois his reputation as an energetic
and successful railroad contractor and manager
stood very high lie was connected in different
capacities with roads iu New England ut that
time, aud they became largely indebted to his
far-sceiug judgment and skill for much OF the
success they subsequently, attained. In 1854 he
came West, at tie solicitation Of the Hon. JOHN
contractor on what was then known Us the
Northwestern Railroad, now known as the Wis
consin Division Of the same road. AS Is known
to many, the railroad: then III its infancy, was I

time being to suspend operations. Mr.. East

the enterprise, lost heavily, aud was obliged to
return East. lie came West again in 1867. and
settled oa farm at Cantield, remaining there
until his death. and where his family still
reside. For the past two years he has
been the victim of paralysis, induced doubt

had subjected himself in carrying forward his

Curious Operation.

A novel operation for consumption
was lately performed upon Archibald
Chatterton at Campbellton, N. B. His
right lung was softened and broken
down, with the exception of small por-
ton at the top. DR.. Balloon, of that
town, thinking that he probably could
not recover, made a deep incision in the
young mans chest at the lower end of
the shoulder-blade, and inserted sill
yer tube, through which he drew out a
large amount of matter. He afterward
washed out the cavity with disinfectants.
The patient was Immediately relieved,
his strength and appetite increased, and
he was soon able to leave his bed and
walk about. His left lung being COM
paraiyely sound, strong hopes are en-
tertained of prolongation of his life
for many years.
