AN INTERESTING SURGICAL Casa
very interesting and successful surgical
operation, and one of considerable mag
nitude, was performed two weeks ago
upon the person of Miss Hannah Carr
of Lowell, Mass, -formerly of North
Danville- Prof. Jernegan of Boston.
The case was one of double ovarian
tumor, in which the one upon the right
side had attained the largest proper
tiOns. Both were removed entire, with
Il success attributable to Prof. Jerne-
gan's new and original method of Oper-
alton and after treatment. Miss Carr
is doing well, and the prospects for a
complete recovery are now favorable.

perhaps Internationally case to the
readers of the Cdledonidn in the paper
of March 9Th. Said schoolmaster is not
in the habit of opening other peoples
correspondence. On the last day of the
school term he saw one of the boys in
the school, hand something to another
one near him. When interrogated about
it, the boy denied the act, but the
teacher drew from the receiver soiled
and crumpled envelope with one end
torn. Surprising it to be note from
one boy to another, containing some
thing contraband of school discipline,
he tore the end of the envelope still
more and withdrew the contents. He
at once saw it was regular letter, and
then for the first time looked at the
address and saw it was directed to a
young lady in the district. He returned
the letter to the envelope and sent it to
the rightful party by the same boy,
with his explanation and apology. The
reason the envelope was in such condi-
ton was because the boy had forgotten
to deliver it the day before, and had
carried it in his pocket day and a-half
during all his cOasting and other rough
plays. The school teacher made mis-
take, but it was wholly unintentional
and harmless.

The London Mining World is OF the
opinion that the price Of lead has reached
its lowest point, and that the tendency will
be upward in the future. To support It's
theory, this journal reviews the unsettled
condition Of business during the last three
or four years in England and America. and
claims that the mines Of Spain and Ger
many can not be worked at a profit Mt the
present price Of the metal, and that the
home consumption in this country will abb
sorb .iae whole of our product. We GER
tainly hope the predictions Of our London
contemporary may prove true, as the pres
ent price Of lead is a serious impairment
TO the successful operation Of our low
grade mines, and an advance in tho price
would have q tendency 10 promote pro-
duction, and have a healthy influence CA
our mining industry.
