Among the new houses we mentioned on
| Cottage Street, WIS thst OF DIR. +. III. til
ton, and that led Is TO think more patio
uarly OF this young physician and sur
geon, and TO make call at his office. DIR.
Titou is going to he one of the most prom
inent surgeons OF the country, in the fu-
ture, II life aud health are spared. He is
one OF those men who has entered enthu-
siastically and intelligently upon the prac.
tiee OF his profession. Well read, aud
careful student OF the books, he was tho
roughly prepared to begin practice, and
ever bit of experience is treasured up in
his orderly mind for future use. As sur
geon he is thoroughly equipped by nature
and fully supplied with modern appliances.
He has a strong even temperament, asteady
land, and an eye quick TO detect and APP
preciate all the points OF delicate surgi-
cal case. DR.. Tilton took from his table
an elegant oblong box, and opening 1t dis
closed splendid set Of surgical instru-
ments with their shining steel blades and
Jet black handles resting on velvet cust-
ions. uon-professional viii be surprised
at the number and variety OF instruments
used by surgeons. He will also be sur
prised to see how delicately some of them
are constructed ard to what intricate uses
they are put. There are knives for am
putating legs, aud smaller knives for am
putating arms, knives for operating on the
left side OF the throat, and other knives
for cutting on the right side, saws OF nu'
merous descriptions, and great variety
OF knives for cutting bones and for scrap
ing them when diseased. DIR. I. says he
has full set OF instruments for bone oper'
atoms such as are seldom found outside oil
the CITY, and that he can perform opera
lions of that character, hereafter, so thai
the patient will not be obliged to spend
tedious period in the hospital, but can Of
treated at their own homes. 1t would
shock our readers to learn OF some opera
lions which are performed, to save pa
TENTS life, and which would seem little
Lass than death to well man. For In
stance there was young man at Oxford
some time ago, suffering with pleurisy with
sufusion. Life was fast becoming extinct
and as a last resort the surgeons knife was
invoked DIR. Tilton, with a delicate In
.trumeut made deep cut in the patients

side just over the heart, and by means o
an air pump, exhausted several bottles full
Of the fluid which was pressing upon tht
heart. DR.. Tilton says he is prepared to
meet any acute case which may need sur
gical treatment, having the largest and
most complete set Of instruments to be
found in this county, including large
number Of "splints" for setting all kinds
OF fractures by the latest and best meth
DDS. As we have before remarked, he Is
Interested 10 his profession, and will give
one a large amount OF information con-
corning medicine and particularly surgery
during brief call.
j. F. Allen, the boot and shoe dealer,
whose store is situated at the north end
OF Railways old block, is doing large
and growing business. The store has just
been enlarged by an addition to the rear
Mr.. Allen has also leased the second story
over his store, and will immediately put in
two FIRST class custom workmen, to do re-
pairing and custom boots and shoes. One
OF the men whom he has engaged Is Mr..
Siberian OF Bryant's Pond, whose fine work
has won him a county reputation. Mr.
Allen carries large stock Of ready-made
goods, from which one may select accord
ing to his means or taste.
The ruins OF the fire were still smoking,
late last week, though the work OF clear
Ing up preparatory TO rebuilding, was rap
idly progressing. We learn that most Of
the buildings will be replaced by new ones,
Immediately. In the mean time those who
saved any goods have put them on sale at
once. The True Religion tells "where
they all are" aud we give the following
locations, condensed from their report:
Mason Bros. are in the Shackley store,
head OF Main Street. s. l.. Crockett is in
Millett & Pierce's picture store. C. +.
Holt is over Aliens shoe store.
We examined Mr.. Hollis safe, made by
Morris 4 Ireland, after II had been in the
hottest part of the fire, and wa, buried in
the Goals and ashes for twenty -four hours,
and found its inside work in splendid con-
dition. The wooden partitions were not
burned, and scarcely showed any signs Of
having been In the fire, though the beau,i-
ful painting and decoration OF the outside
had become things Of the past. His papers
would have been perfectly preserved II they
had been LEFT within.
The True Religion severely criticlses the
Norway Gre department, but we doubt II
the criticism Is just. II seems to US that
II must be part OF its critical habit OF
fault-fudiug and its peculiar way OF max.
ing friends of those at home who have sus.
tanned it and tided it over many hard places
But republics are proverbially ungrateful,
and why should not the citizens OF re-
public be likewise:

The Poisoning of Chief Brooks.

1t has been noted in The STAR that on Tuesday
Mr. j. j. Brooks, chief or the Treasury secret ser
vice. and several members of his family were taken
ILL., and that the beef tongue OF which they ate had
shown on examination traces of arsenic. The case
is one about which there is some mystery Mr..
Brooks and his friends are unable to account for
it, and can hardly realize that this was attempt
to poison any one The full facts In the case are
for the family, a corned beef tongue
was ordered delivered at the house, and
cooked; and ON Sunday evening was on the
tea table, when several members OF the family par
took OF it, but no i'll effects followed. On Tuesday
morning the remaining portion OF the tongue was
sliced and placed on the breakfast table, and Mr.
Brooks, his wife. and her sister, Mrs Thwing, Miss
Nellie Brooks and grand child sat down to the
table, but the two last named partaking OF the
tongue. Mr.. and Mrs. Brooks, about 10H or II
O'Clock, were taken sick while walking down nth
street Mr.. Thwing was sick about the same
time. and when they returned home Mrs. Brooks
sister was found to be sick. DR.. B. B. Adams was
called in and treated them for poison, and they all
recovered. Some OF the remaining parts OF the
tongue were found, and at the drug store OF Purdy
& Co. test being applied the presence OF arsenic
was discovered Other portions were submitted to
DR.: DeSmedt, the District chemist, who also found
poison.

her theatrical education, and when at last she
made her bow in an expensive wardrobe the
critics treated her unkfndly. Instead OF being dis
couraged and retiring to private life in Bedford

belief that she was star OF the first magnitude
and her manager set about engaging her company

great controversy that has arisen between the

Brooklyn, the successor Of Congressman j. Hyatt
Smith. Miss Olcott was put down in a bill for
a. theatrical entertainment to be given for
the benefit OF the South Baptist church.

Her papa, DR.. Olcott, Indignantly refused TO let
her play, on the ground that she should not appear
with an amateur In church affair." This invita-
ton. he Sad in face OF the fact that bis daughter
had been on the stage six nights, was insulting,
she was professional The offence was deepened by
the extreme discourtesy OF announcing on the bill
that the young tragedienne had offered to assist
at the entertainment Young Mr.. Olcott, the new
stars brother, spruce youngster and fly enough
for New Yorker, FASTENED to defend his sister
from the Rev. Mr.. Thompson. He said his sister
was advised not TO appear except as legitimate
