Formerly of New Haven.

Miss Fannie Morgan of Buffalo, N. Y., formerly of New Haven, has been visiting her old home and friends for a few weeks past and leaves to return soon to Buffalo, where she has a responsible and lucrative position. She is stopping with her sister at No. 37 College street. She was quite promi- nently engaged for years in the educational work in the South in connection with the Freedmen's bureau, doing patriotic and val uable service, as did also another former New Haven lady, Miss Marg garrett stratton, both of whom were for years active and leading members of the St. Johns street M. B. church. The latter lady, after concluding her work in the South, finished her educa- tion at Orleans college and is now one of the most valued professors in Wellesley college, Massachusetts, and for the past year has been travelling in Europe. She returned last week to resume her duties at Wellesley. Both these ladies are examples of what New Eng land ladies can accomplish, both in the way of higher education and in benehcent work far others.

The spoutipgs were heard several miles
distant, while the earth in the imme-
date vicinity was violently shaken, IS

escaping steam and the intense rumbling
was deafening. An immense body of
water. accompanied by steam, was pro-
jected to an altitude OF about 300 feet,
and the Fire-Hole river, which Is only .
few rods distant, soon became torrent
of boiling water. The display was
kept up, with gradually decreasing

Every admirer Of the faithful and in
telligent sheep-dog will appreciate the
following admirable sketch Of his rare
qualities:
Dogs are best studied at work and
a day spent among the hills with the
shepherd and his dog Il fraught both
with interest and instruction to an in
telligent observer. Sitting on hill
side, looking across wide glen, the
sheep of an adjoining proprietor are
observed crossing the boundary line
in search Of richer pasture. The shep-
herd addresses a few words to his dog,
which darts off like a greyhound. We
watch him spanking across the glen,
now clearing a wide ditch at bound,
then fording the stream, half wading,
half swimming. He waits but a mo-
ment to shake the water from his coat.
His master calls to him. He raises his
head and ears to listen to the order,
which is repeated, and nimbly he threads
his way up the distant activity. He
now comes in sight of the sheep, and,
in getting ahead Of them, takes wide,
circular course. The sheep have taken
the alarm and commence to run, but
TYNE" is too swift for them, and
presently be appears clear in front.
The shepherd, by a sharp whistle on
his fingers, stops his dog, which at the
moment happens to be in a patch Of
thick heather, and were it not for the
splashes Of white about his neck
and breast, bis whereabouts would
not be easily made out. TIE
sheep are slow to retreat; but,
upon receiving another command,
TYNE" moves smartly up behind
them. and in a few minutes the poach-
ing flock is sent scampering back to
its own proper walk. The dog is
seen leisurely retraciug his steps. He
quenches his thirst as he refords the
stream, and, returning to his masters
side, sits down composedly, turning
his keen eyes towards tho opposite hill
as if to make sure be has fully
completed bis task. Such is 4
simple performance Of the collie ;
vet it serves to show how quickly
and well be accomplishes q piece OF
work which, without him, would have
occupied the shepherd many hours.
The sheep may be scattered miles apart
over a wide range of hills, and he will
collect them in shorter time than could
q score of men. Alone, he will drive
the flock to any part Of the hill, or
bring to the shepherd any sheep he may
want. Distance is no object to we'll
trained collie; and, although he may
be mile away, motion Of the hand
is sufficient to command him when oral
directions cannot be heard Charles

How tho Master Of the Lapwing Took
Two Prisoners iu the Port OF Rio.
Captain Tom Kelly nov dead was
one Of the pioneers in the Rio trade
and o man full Of Irish wit, says the
Baltimore Herald. The last boat be
commanded was the brig Lapwing.
The captains of other vessels used to
cal her Tom Kelly's wooden shoe.
Captain Kelly got into little
difficulty with the custom-house off,
Gals in Rio.at one time. He was
hauled hauled :, up s7a 1liI .si,s :, :
rules of Brazil. "a FrenchmaiS. did
We SOW" said Captain Kelly. -
iabers, did ye ever see a Frenchmsn
with as big foot as that?" and ne held
up his big feet. The court Of inquiry
laughed and let Captain Tom %. Cap
tain Tom was annoyed, as the other old
pioneers were, by the Rio cus.om-house
officers, who in the olden days persisted
in even searching a mans pocket when
be landed there.
While the captain was loading in
Baltimore for Rio one day colored
man with two snapping-turtles about a
third grown boarded his brig and Of
fered the turtles for sale. "Phat ye
want for 'em?" asked the captain.
"Quarter-dollar apiece" "How long
will they live ?" Live till dey die,
boss. ZEN sometimes longer. Doan
want ter feed 'em, nuther." "rll take
EN-" says the captain. He put the
snappers in box and placed them
in the cabin. He nursed them
carefully and watched them closely
until he got back to Rio. When he got
there he put on his overcoat, although
it was warm, and put q snapper in each
pocket. He landed at the Palais steps
and started up to the custom-house.
An officer got on each side of him,
bowling and saying, " Bono capttono,
bono americana" and each one slyly
thrust hand into Captain Kelly'S over
coat-pocket.
The snappers grabbed finger of
each Of the hands and the air was blue
with Brazilian osths, but the turtles
wouldn't let go. The officials begged
the captain to stop and release them,
but he pretended not to know what
was the matter, and, telling them he
was in hurry, dragged them along
to the custOm.house. When no got
there the mems hands were taken
from his pockets with snapper
clingipg to each, and the turtles heads
had to be cut off before they would re-
lease their hold. The chief of the GUS
tom-house was angry, and was about
to reprimand Captain Kelly, when he
told him that he had brought the tur-
ties as a present to him, and that be
Rad no idea that his subordinates would
attempt to rob him on the way. Cap
tain Kelly'spockets were never searched
after that.

body car he ren,d, and its contents
handled OF incised, without definite
risks, often Of very serious kind and
the way to set aside these risks must be
learned by experience, for each cavity,
either on human beings or on animals.
The name of Sir Spencer Wells will be
always associated with the successful
removal Of a certain class Of tumors
from the abdominal cavity, q proceed
ing which is now attended with but
trifing danger. When this operation
was first performed, and for long after
ward, it proved Immediately fatal to
more than one-half Of the patients who
submitted to it, and it was once in
much danger Of being altogether aban-
doned as uDjustifable. The way to
overcome the attendant risks was only
gradually discovered, first for one
source Of danger and then for another,
and before the present degree Of
safety was attained the lives Of
very many women were sacrificed.
In the case Of brain.surgery q dif-
ferent course has been pursued, aud
the same experiments which led
to the discovery of the functions Of diff
ferent parts Of the organ have led also
to the discovery of the methods by
which it may be handled and operated
upon with comparative safety. But for
this, Mr.. Horsley's three patients, in
stead of being exhibited at Brighton,
would in all probability have fallen
martyrs to science. They might
have enabled him to demonstrate
the possibility of localizing brain-dis-
ease and of removing it, but it is hardly
likely that they would have re.
covered. Every survivor Of such an
operation, and, in measure, every VIC
tim to it, would have added to the SAFE
ty Of others by showing the things
which it was necessary to avoid, but,
as matters now stand the required
knowledge has been obtained from ope-
rations on dogs or monkeys. We have
no doubt that some few persons would
prefer the former alternative, but the
majority of the human race will be
scarcely prepared to agree with them.

the parts implicated and the result
ing symptoms became so compl-
sstsd Is to defy analysis. The persons
who called themselves phrsnologists ct
tempted to localizs brain function BY
another method Of proceeding, and
wasted an enormous amount OF time
and troable upon a system OF ludicrous
laundering. 1t was not until physiolo-
gists, among whom, In this regard, DR..
Hitzig And DR.. Ferrier held the most
distinguished place, commenced to ex-
pertinent upon living animals by apply
ing the stimulation Of weak galvanic
currents to definite portions of brain,
that the offices Of these portions be-
came known and then it was found that
the brain surface is largely made up OF
what are technically called motor
areas-that is to say, Of regions which
excite movements each in its especial
part Of the body. Localizstion is as
yet Only in its infancy, but even nov
. skilful experimenter, by stimulating
in succession different parts OF the
brain, can cause narcotized, and
therefore unconscious, animal to per-
form q considerable variety OF actions
with perfect precision; and 1t has been
found, for example, that portion OF
the brain surface which the phrenolo-
gist asserted to be the seat of ideality,
or acquisitiveness, or some such rub
bish, is in reality the exciting centre OF
the movements of the left thumb.
1t was the application Of this particular
piece Of knowledge which enabled the
medical staff of the National hospital
to point out the seat of the disease in
Mr.. Horsley's third patient; and the
value Of Spsrimentation in reference
to the i0nhn
