We understand that an important surgi-
cal operation was performed near Ringoes, in
this county, on Saturday Of last week. 1t was
the removal of scrrhus tumor in mammary
gland. The operation was performed by a
young member of The profession of this city
in the presence of several older physicians,
and was done, as we arc Informed, with great
skill and CELEBRITY and with complete success.
The patient is rapidly improving. Now it
strikes us that this is right. Let the local
talent (of which we have CONSIDERABLY be en-
ployed, instead of sending to the cities for
distinguished surgeons for the performance of
important operations.
