John Christensen, the well known
mill wright, who has been for some
time employed at Four Mile, has long
been afflicted with stone in the blad-
der, from the effect Of which he was
finally compelled TO abandon his work,
and for the past ten days has been con
fined to his room at TIE Kleemann
House in this city. As a last resort, all
other means having failed, the critical
surgical operation technically known as
lithotomy, was performed upon him on
Tuesday by Drs. Rate and Map e of
this place. and DIR. Paddock of Dead
wood. The patient was by this means re-
lieved oftwo large ~calculi, one of which
weighed about one ounce, and the other
nearly half as large, in addition to a
considerable quantity Of gravel of vary
ing size. The operation is one that is
always attended with much danger TO
the patient, and was more critical in
this instance by the extreme weakness
Of the patient. While his recovery is
regarded by the surgeons as being ex-
ttemely doubtful, the operation was
deemed advisable as the only means
whereby the life of the patient might
possibly be saved

Light.

| When the world was young, man
was only a child, with child's
| thoughts. Probably the first man,
at the close Of the first day, was
frightened when darkness fell, and
| wondered whether the light would
ever come again. And since, lie has,
like a child, been continually learn
ing something about light. At one
time he supposed the eye was the
source OF light, because he saw moth
ing unless his eyes were open. The
greatphilosopher Newton, PROFOUND
ed the corpuscular theory, That light
is an imponderable substance, whose
colors depend ON the velocity OF
transmission. Reflection he COM
pared to the rebounling of an elastic
body, while refraction was due to
interstices in transparent bodies,
which allowed the particles OF light
to pass through. This idea was ac-
cepted for many years, but has now
cen practically displaced by Hny-
gems undulatory theory, that light
is propaganda by the vibrations OF
the imponderable ether. On this
theory the transmission Of light is
like that of sound, and Il corallary
OF it il that there are lights Of differ
ent colors, the variety Of hue not be-
ing caused by varying velocities.
Three peculiarities OF light IRE it's
universal diffusion, it's rapidity OF
motion, and it's usefulness. The
works Of man never equal those OF
Nature, but i'll these three respects
the Burlington Routeresembles light.
An examination OF the map shows
it's diffusion over the West; the use
of it's tickets will convince OF the
