SKILLFUL SURGERY.-A Stone
Taken iron, a Boys Bladder.-John-
ny Williams, nine years old, son Of
Thomas Williams, Esq, of Bowery
street, this place, underwent a criti-
cal operation Monday. He had been
suffering with stone in the bladder,
until the issue hung between relief
therefrcm or death. The deter nina
ton to apply surgery was soon
reached. Accordingly on Monday
DR.. j. j. Jones. of this place, assisted
by DR.. J. M. Williams, of Lonacon-
ing, performed the difficult and del
icate operation of "lateral lithoto
my upon the boy, and quickly re-
loved him of stone weighing II
drachms, and about the size of a
hickory nut. This stone is of that
class of calculus known as the "mul-
berry" an alternate oomroaits of uric
acid and oxalate of lime; it's surface
is Of white-brown color, exceeding
ly rough and thorny, solid and al
together ugly object to have rolling
around in any part Of the human
body. The successful operation of
extracting it reflects very highly upon
the skill of the surgeon and his assist
ant. The little patient is doing we'll
and no doubt Of his early and complete
recovery is entertained.
