Especial Dispatch to the ALEXANDRIA GAzETTE.)
RICHMOND, Jan. 25.-In the House of
Delegates to-day, Speaker Stuart introdu-
ced bill proposing to repeal that section
of the charter of the Dismal Swamp Canal
Company which permits it to carry on a lot
terry.
Judge Stuart said that the House could
do nothing more desirable than to pass such
a bill. Upon recent visit to bis home in
Alexandria, he had seen the bills and other
advertisements Of the lottery spread
broadcast over the city. Some judges
had decided that the lottery was le-
gal, and he felt sure that the Legislature
could not do anything more calculated to
improve the morals of the people than tc
repeal that portion of the charter OF the
Dismal Swamp Company permitting the
continuance Of the lottery feature.
The bill was referred.

DIFFICULT OPERATION. The death Of DR..
NJ. NJ. Lewis of Alexandria, reminds us of a
difficult, though successful operation pei
formed by him Il few years ago on Mr.. Ed
ward Waller. of Stafford, Mr.. Waller had
something like a wen just under his chin.
which was growing rapidly and pressed so
hard against his wiud-pipe as to make
breathing very difficult. Becoming alarm
ed he started for Baltimore to consult DR..
Smith. Upon examination DR.. Smith told
him he regretted to say that he could do
nothing for him. He could remove the wen,
but that Mr.. Waller could not survive the
operation. On his return home he thought
of Dir. Lewis, his old surgeon, and conclud-
ed TO stop in Alexandria and consult him.
He did SO. and Dr. Lewis, informed him that
he thought he could remove it, but the OPP
Grafton was ii dangerous one, and that he
might not survive it. Mr.. Waller told him
that if the wen was left alone he would soon
die from it and there was some hope of re-
covering from the operation performed. Dr.
Lewis performed the operation, the Wen
was removed and Mr.. Waller was up and
going about in less than ten days enjoying
the best of health - Fredericksburg Standard

to all pats of the county, and would
doubtless reimburse its cost in less
than a year, as it would shorten the
distance between all the Wood River
towns, and Camas Prairie, Rocky
Bar, Atlanta, and the Smoky region,
by one full day. Several parties would
gladly make toll-road of it if they
could, but there is no law authorizing
the construction or operation of toll
roads in this Territory, and no toll
could be collected, if the road were
built.
In this emergency it is the manifest
duty of the people of Wood River to
take the matter in hand, and see that
the road is made at as early date as
possible. One dav less in hauling
from Camas Prairie means cheape,
and fresher eggs, milk, cream, butter
cheese, chickens, vegetables, hay and
all kinds of farm produce, and a cor
responding gain to every man, woman
and child in b lllion, bellevue, Haley
Ketchum, and all Wood River. /
