susoEssFUL OPERATION ON SHORT NOTICE,


few days ago,a woman residing in the lower
end Of the County was on her way to Philadel-
lhia to have surgical operation performed on
her throat. Sometime last fall, she swallowed a
pin, which lodged in her throat and resisted all
attempts to remove it. The distress it caused
growing serious, she resolved to consult with the
best medical authority and had arrived at Kirk
wood Station to take the cars, when she met DIR.
Green, who was also about leaving for Philadel-
pha. The Doctor Immediately made an exami-
ton, found the pin where it was sticking inside
her throat, and drew it out, to the surprise Of
those present and the great joy of the woman,
who exclaimed e God Bless you, sir l hope you
may live forever"

A long poem might be written upon

Of tragic history, but if all the truth
about II were written, no doubt blood
enough would appear TO give the flutter-
ing thing a crimson tint for ages. It is
rather peculiar and not in the common
run Of our course and practical events,
that the fan should appear rs a bone OF
contention in a heavy litigious case,
wherein damages are claimed, never
theless, there is one example of that
sort now in the Second Circuit Court of
the city. The merits Of the affair are
easily understood. They appear to be
these: Last summer, Coll & Leidy, the
latter ordered jointly two hundred dol
lars worth Of fans, from printer of this
city, who executed the order and put
his name or his professional mark on
each fan. The contractors refused to
take them for this reason. They con-
tended that the fans were to be got up
as an advertisement for their exclusive
benefit, and that the name Of the printer
was a third advertisement of his busi-
ness. Hence they would not take the
goods. Suit for the recovery of the
money is now brought by the printer.
The case was partially heard in the
Second Circuit Court yesterday.

The public are requested to give their attention to the above circular of s J. GOLD, who has been SO long engaged in the business of Heating, and manufacturing apparatus for it.

 The plan upon which this new ap- paratus is made and operated is entirely new and novel.

 It is constructed upon the most sim pie and yet the most efectual principle of Heating yet discovered.

 There are a number of them now in operation in different parts of the eoun- try, and the results of the trial have been very gratifying to both the invent or and manufacturer.

 The economy in the use of fuel and its heating capacity is truly wonderful, no such results having ever before been achieved by any previous invention. ~ It is only designed in this notice to call the attention of the public or any who may wish to secure what the in- ventor says in his circular above,- ample warmth without injury to health, Ito this new invention which probably will come into general use in all our country homes, as well as in the homes of the wealthy who live iu the large cities and towns. 1t is a subject of interest to all who have homes where health, comfort and pleasure are sought after.

NHE INVENTOR, who has Reen actively engag- "A ed for the past twenty years in introducine to the public his several systems of Warming Build ings with Steam and Hot Water by methods well known throughout the United States and Cansdas has, at the solicitation of numerous friends finally produced more economical Heater which em. bodies all the excellent qualities of Steam and Hot Water heat, with the simplicity of Hot Air Furnace construction.

 Notwithstanding the large sale and universal approval of Colds Steam and Water Heating Apparatus" its responsiveness has impeded its l general introduction and uso. To remedy this de. l rect has long been the study of the inventor who is now satisfied that in this new Heater he has secured the only plan whereby persons of moder. ate means can enjoy in their homes the comfort Of ample warmth without injury to health | and that his new method meets 6 demand lonc felt. and must when well known, supersede all other Heaters. No one desires If 1t can be avoid. ed, to put into his home heater which will cer. tainly impair the health ot those who iuhale the air viiated by contact with highly heated surfaces

 All other Hot Air Furnaces DO heat the air too hot l because of the very limited amount of superficial surface exposed to the fire, so that much of the surface s often heated to rcdness; the proportion of surface to the same sixe of fire in this new System, Is TEN TIMES GREATER than the common

 Hot Air Furnace, and no part is overheated; in. deed 1t is adjusted such correct scientific prin. ciples, that every part of the surface is equally l warmed.

 In the new Furnace the valuable result is secured of an apparatus with all the merits of Steam Heater, with the simple construction of the Hot Air Furnace, avoiding all the eleterious effects oi l that kind of heat

The TRIAL OF BAzAINE.-Notwith-
standing the silence that is kept in
the affair Bazaine, as the French
term it, it is known that the officers
charged with the inquiry are actively
proceeding with their task. The
principle point was to ascertain if the
accused had beed informed in good
time of the march of Marshal Nc
Mahon toward the north. The in.
quiry has now obtained positive proof
that at the time the conference be-
tween the chiefs of the army of the
Rhine took place in the farm Of Gri-
mont THAT is to say on the 26th),
Marshal Bazaine had received and
held in his own hand the dispatch
sent by McMahon, although he feign-
ed to be ignorant of its existence
More than seven couriers has been
sent to Bazaine by Mcmahon. Three
succeeded in crossing the Prussian
lines, and obtained admittance TO the
Commander of Metz. They have
been examined by General de Rivi-
ere, and will be summoned by the
Council Of War, when the public de-
bates take place. Another important
point that appears to have been
established by the inquiry is that
Marshal Bazaine kept up a corr
respondence with the enemy. a
witness has been found who served
as interpreter for the Marshal in his
interview with Prince Frederick
Charles. The existence of this inter-
prefer was pointed out, we under
stand, by some of the most honor
able Inhabitants OF Metz.

A BEAR SToRY.-Some weeks ago q
man with hand-organ and bear was
arrested up in Clearfeld county,
Ohio, for not having license. The
arrest was made in front of the Office
of the county paper, and the Sheriff
asked the editor to let him place the
organ and the bear in the sanctum
while he took the man to the magis-
trate's Office. Permission was given.
The bear is there yet. When the
editor returned from dinner he
opened the door, and found that
the bear had broken loose and
smashed the whole interior of the
establishment into microscopic smith
Greens. When the bear saw the
editor it thought IL would go to din
ner also; but the eminent Journal
ist slammed the doar suddenly,
locked it, and groped his way down
stairs six steps at jump. The bear
has had nothing to eat since that
time, and the paper has been sus-
pended, while the editor and the
sheriff and their friends spend tLeir
time standing on ladders bombarding
that animal through the windows,
and firing up through the ceiling and
down the chimney at him. The bear
roams around and roars, and chews
up startling editorials about Horace
Greeley and the campaign in North
Carolina, and eats up the poetry and
smashes the advertisements. 1t will
cost the editor about six thousand
dollars to fix up his place when the
bear dies, and it is whispered around
among his confidential friends thai
he will probably not support thai
Sheriff the next time he runs fol
Office; nor will he encourage the
introduction of the menagerie busi
ness into Clearfield county.

over of the track between the great depot

by the Company-the agreement requiring the
track to be sunk so as to be covered for the
greater part of the way. Suffice 1t that Harlem
