AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE.
Transplantation of Human Skin-Sisters OF
Charity Giving Skin, Flesh and Blood to
Save a Patients Life.

Transplantation of Human Skin-Sisters of
Charity Swing Skin, Flesh and Blood to
Save a Patients Life.
From the New York Herald.l
An exceedingly remarkable surgical
operation has recently been performed
at ST. GATHERINGS Hospital, Williams
burg. On Friday, Aug. 8, 1876, while
Dora Conrad, of No. $40 Mangin street,
was attending jenny in Waterbury's
bag factory. in Bushwick, her hair,
which was hanging loose, caught in one
of the spindles. and in an instant the
hair and scalp on one side of her head
were torn out. It was done SO quickly
that she felt only tug. The overseer
took her to st. GATHERINGS Hospital, on
Bushwick avenue, where the doctors
said they could not do anything for her
Two days after the physician in charge
said, I" can save her, and if she can
stand the operation I can give her new
scalp bv transplantation.
The operation of transportation of
skin is an exceedingly delicate one, and
has been but recently introduced into
surgery as a remedy in cases of open
wounds. The CHASTITY injury inflicted on
Miss Conrad not only tore off the scalp,
but destroyed portion of the perios-
teum. No hopes were at first enter
tanned for her recovery; but as the days
wore on her naturally good constitution
enabled granulation to begin, and flesh
commenced to form. Taking advantage
of this the doctor took two pieces OF
Dora's own arm, and cutting them in
small pieces. grated them on the peri
osteum, about quarter of an inch apart,
and In row about quarter of an inch
from the line of the lower edge of the
wound, holding them in position with
small strips OF plaster. In a few days
minute notifications extended from these
little gratis to each other and to the
sound skin, which gradually increased
until they bridged over the space be-
tween them, and new skin was thus pro-
duced
This operation was carefully repeated
during the seven months the girl lay in
the hospital, the gratis for the purpose
being freely furnished by Sister Dolo-
rosa from her arms. Sister Joanna, an
other of the faithful nurses in the insti-
tuition, also furnished material for gratis
during the operation. The doctor was
so skillful in his manipulations that ev-
cry piece of skin grated took root, and
the entire skull was again covered with
a firm, healthy, but hairless scalp.
There are spots bereft of feeling; they
are those connected directly with the
skull, the periosteum having been de-
stroyed just there. There was danger of
the upper table of the skull dying in
these places, but, fortunately, the oil
dressing prevented that.
The case excites much interest among
the surgical profession.

Interesting Legal Decision.

Inc New York Tribune reports an ia /.
terestrng decision. Cyrus II. McCor-
mick, CT Chicago, in 1872, took his bag
gage to tie depot OF the PENNSYLVANIA
company at Philadelphia to be checked
to Chicago. The baggage-master re-
fused to give checks until tickets were
purchased Mccormick went to ret
tickets, and the baggage was put on the
car. On McCormick's return the bag
gage-master refused checks until he
vas paid for extra weight of baggage.
Mccormick refused payment, and de-
manded his baggage. But the baggage
master SAID this was impossible. as other
baggage was IN the car, and it could not
be reached in time for the starting of
the train Mccormick declined to 90
on the train. The baggage went on to
Chicago, where it was stored. and next

Tree-Planting in the West.

There are few men in the West, says
the Chicago Tribune, who have had a
wider experience in agricultural affairs
than the Hon. Jesse W. Fell, of Bloom
ington, and his mature judgment on
any kindred matter is deserving of the
most respectful consideration. 1T is of
importance, therefore, to note that his
experiments in tree planting have taught
him that the white willow is on all &C.
counts the most reliable and profitable
tree that can be grown in the Northwest.
The Tribune prints letter written by
Mr.. Fell to the Sioux City Journal, in
which he recounts his experience in
Northwestern Iowa he has also written
letter to the Hon. Leonard SWEET,
wherein he urges the importance of i'm
pressing upon the people of the North
west the superiority of the willow over
all other trees for the prairie soil and
severe climate of this section His ex-
periments have included the box elder,
soft maple, cottonwood, white ash, bass
wood. honey locust, blackwalnut, chest
nut, European and American larch, white
and Scotch pine, arbor vitae, Norway and
black spruce, and many other varieties,
and the result has been uniformly to
give the preference to the white willow.

brief, its easy propagation, hardness,
rapid growth, adaptation to wet or dry
ground, strength and durability, exemp-
ton from disease, large growth, and re-
sistance to the rigors of trying climate.
The advantages of the willow in cities
located like Chicago have long been
evident. It is the first tree to leaf in
the spring and the last to drop its leaves
in fall. 1t natures earlier than any
other variety, unless it is the cotton
wood, which is Objectionable on account
of its peculiar SEEDLINGS. AS a shade
tree for towns and cities in our climate
and soil, it has advantages which the
superior attractions of other varieties in
matter of looks cannot offset. For farm
ers the advantages of the willow are still
more pronounced. AS a protection for
cattle when planted around barn yards,
and for orchards when planted in groves
on the north and west sides of fruit
trees, the merits of the willow have been
abundantly tested. When cut for wood,
it has much the quality of pine, and it's
characteristic of reproduction from the
stump when cut down makes willow.

other in fact, Mr.. Fell speaks of it as a

Water for the Ewes.

A writer in Fraser's Magazine thinks
that whatever hesitation there may be
justly called for in recommending one or
another Of the various lotions now so
popular, there need be 10 such doubt
in respect to cold water or pure water
He says In cases of much inflammation
or difficulty of opening the eyelids in the
morning, experienced by so many, the
water should be warm, and it may be
mixed with warm milk, out in nearly all
other cases it should be used cold. All

Disease Grows Apace,

Like an i'll wind, and cannot be mastered toe
early. What is a tritiing attack of sickness to-
day may, if unattended to. become a serious

full-blown naladies. If this advice wers at

should at once be had to that supreme rene

which will restore healthy action and put the

ton to keep this Incompatible preventive in
the house. since it checks, with unrivaled
promptitude, disorders which breed others far
more dangerous, and in their latest develop
ments are themselves often fatal.

THE LITTLE FOLKS.
Frogs at School.

o6o - 1OAAooAs
Twenty froggies went to school,
Down beside rushy pool;
Twenty little coats of green,
Twenty vests, all white and clean.
{ We must be in time" said they.
: First we study; then we play.
That is how we keep the rule
When we froggies go to school"
Master Bullfrog, grave and stern,
Called the classes in their turn;
Taught them how to nobly strive,
Likewise how to leap and dive;
From his seat upon the log,
Showed them how to say " Ker-chog ]"
Also, how to dodge blow
From the sticks which bad boys throw.
Twenty froggies grew up fast
Bullfrogs they became at last;
Net one Ounce among the lot,
Not one lesson they forgot
Polished in a high degree,
AS each froggie ought to be;
Now they sit on other logs,
Teaching other little frogs.

Ghosts In Washington.

Haunted houses are plentiful in Wash.
lngton. There is a domicile in Four
and-a-half street, where, in the evening
twilight, before the gas is lighted, q
newspaper is heard to rattle in an alcove
designed for bed Investigation OF
the apartment develops the fact that
there is no person there to rattle the
paper. The doubter may suggest rats,
but the solemn assurance is given that
there is no paper there to be ratified, nor
any possible thing that could resemble
the noise of folding a newspaper-no
paper OF any kind that conld be ratified
or folded. OF course people Will be
found to scoff at the ghost Of a newspa-
per, but perhaps, if told Of the inexpIi-
cable death Of lady, the wife of a liter
airy man, in that house some years ago,
they might change their opinion.
There is another haunted house on
New Jersey avenue, which no tenant
can be got to occupy. An effort has
been made for some time to get up a
party of bold spirits to sit up in it all
night, which was invited to join, but
declined, because / am not one of that
kind. The New Jersey avenue ghost is
known to hold some sort Of relationship
to gentleman and lady who lived there
several years ago. One day it was given
out that she had gone to New York, and,
shortly afterward, he picked up his car
pet-bag and went away, since which
time neither of them has ever been seen.
Now, at II o'clock at night, carriage is
heard, but not seen, to drive up; the
bell rings without any visible cause, the
door is heard to open and close, and af-
ter that the most pitiful sounds, as of a
female voice begging for mercy and cry
ing out that she was not prepared to
die, ale heard, but there is no pity. He
murders her again every night. If these
things are not so, why does the house
remain vacant, although some most in
telligent people have tried to live in it?

4 Fortunate Presentiment.

In March last, while the Inflated
United States steamer Huron was lying
in the harbor Of Port Royal, S. c., Lieut.
Arthur 81. Fletcher, her executive officer,
left the vessel on a hours leave oe alb
sence, and, failing to return at the expi-
ration of that time, the ship sailed for
another port without him. A few days
after Mr.. Fletcher returned to Port
Royal, reported to Commodore J. II. B.
Clitz, "senior naval officer present, " and
stated to him that for some time past he
had presentiment that, if he went to
sea IN the Huron for the purpose of fin
ishing the cruise two years., he would
be wrecked. This feeling took complete
possession of his mind, and he used
every means to get detached, but the
Navy Department refused to order it
without better reason. When he found
that all his efforts had failed, he left the
Huron in the manner stated, with the
intention net to return. For this he was
placed under arrest and tried by court
martial at Washington navy yard in Au-
gust last. In defence he made a state
ment, in substance as above, and called
Commodore Clitz. Commander George

While the people of Arkansas are being excited over the political can vass now going on, let them not neg lect their weightier and more impor- tant material concerns. This is the time of the year when the farmers feel most inclined to talk and think about their agricultural interests. We are glad to notice that the sub- ject of organizing County Fair Asso- citations is expressing a large share of their attention. We know of no matter of more vital and paramount importance. Local Fairs not only beget spirit of commendable rival ry that leads to enterprise, and stim- ulates improvement and advance ment, but they are the very best means of advertising local attrac- tions and drawing immigration.

The Laboratory of the System.


 The stomach is the laboratory of the system. in which certain mysterious processes are constantly going OH. These result in the production of that wonderful vivifyiEg agent the blood, which in a state of health rushes laden with the clements of vitality to the remotest parts of the system. But when the stomach is semi-paralyZed by dyspepsia. blood manufacture is carried on iMperfectly, the circulation grows thin and sluggish, and the system suf- fers in consequence. Moreover. indi- gestion reacts upon the liver and bowels rendering the first sluggish and the latter constipated. The brain also suffers by sympathy, and sick head aches, sleeplessness aed nervous symp- toms are engendered. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters reforms this state of things, gives permanent tone and reg ularity to the stomach and it's associate organs, the bowels and liver, and en- sures complete nourishment and in- creased vigor of the system. It is the most popular as we'll as the most effi- cient anti-dyspeptic and tonic in America.
