Big Toe Chisled.

WE learn that certain gentleman ofthi
purpose of having him treat an in growing
nail on his big toe, which was Of very
painful nature. The Doctor, physician of
experience and skill, after examination in
formed the gentleman that the toe would
have to be cut off. The gentleman of the
sore toe wanted to know the cost of the am
putation. Ten dollars was the price
mo, sir, said the gentleman of the sore
toe 81 can get it done cheaper than that. y
OF course, the physician had no objection.
However. the gentleman returned home,
procured hammer and chisel and told
his brother to cut off the offending toe
The brother placed the chiscl on the toe and
started to whack it off, but the gentleman
of the sore toe concluded that he must be
blindfOlded, that he could not stand to have
his toe severed from his foot with his eyes
wide open. Accordingly his eyes were
bandaged, and the brother once again plac
ed the sharp chisel between the joints and
with one fell blow with the hammer, the
chisel went through the quivering flesh and
bone, and the big toe few of about the
distance Of five feet, the blood spouting in q
stream. The operation was performed, and
the stub now looks like the neck of q turtle
with its head cut off, swollen and very
sore. 1t was dangerous experiment, but
it beats Hayes V-toes.

that the Marietta Female College could be

from abroad host of young lady students.
There is no place in all the South more ia
vored in natural advantages, or better
adapted as an educational centre, than
Marietta. Here we have high ele-

renown, scenery the most picturesque, wa
ter the purest and most invigorating. eli

lege edifice, good churches refined society,
and a town accessible from all points by

tive standstill We have had excellent
teachers, but with all their energy and abil-
ty their efforts have been poorly rewarded.
Whether there has been that cooperation,
sympathy and patronage on the part OF our
people, sufficient to encourage, sustain and
build it up, must he answered by results not
very hattering However, it is not too late
for the college to be infused with new life
Let the trustees work llarmoniously to that
