Saturday morning, at the Massachu-setts General hospital, a little instru-ment, invented by Jr. Jli.vler, wonder-ful in its simplicity, const rucleil sons to separate quito largo portions of epi-dermis from the subcutaneous tissue, was used for the first time. The patient had been ciheri.ed. and had undergone an operation for tho removal of a cancerous growth from the left brc'tst, and the wound thus made was quite au extensive one. Tho instrument was applied to tho anterior portion of the right thigh, and three strips, about an inch wide by six inches long, wero taken oil and transplanted to the ex-posed surface of the breast. The opera-tion of removing tho skin and trans-planting it to its new quarters did not occupy more than about six minutes. A very few days will suflice to restore tho denuded surface of tha thigh to its normal condition, leaving few traces of the reparative process to which it has j contributed, mid, other things being j equal, the surface from which the can-cerous tumor has been excised will heal over by first intention, thus saving thi patient from n prolonged a::d paint'!: jieriod of convalescence.

" 'You know,' he answered, 'that we were absent upon a visit to Cousin j Charles for some time, mid upon our re- - turn tho doctor told us that two of the; servants lay ill with the ship fever, and that the children must lie sent away im-mediately.

" 'Yes, the doctor warned ns. But we could not leave them when we knew bow critical was the situation. It was hard to part with the children, and they cried bitterly at going, knowing to what dangers we were exposed.' ' 'And I know,' answered I, 'for I have had the ship fever, and for two weeks lay utterly senseless, like one dead.' " "I5oth of the servants,' continued my friend, 'were delirious for two weeks be-fore they died, which increased our cure. It is it very dreadful disease, and very hardly it bore on my wife.

Tho lieda were placed in the middle of the two largest rooms, and by opening tho folding doors we could throw them, with the smaller one between, into one lanre room. There is a passage from the ceil-ing of the middle room directly to the skylight in the roof, and by opening that and dropping the upper sashes of the windows of the room we could ventilate the rooms perfectly.'

They Pay that the price which was con-sidered just when the? contract wan made thonld now bo reduced, as it is excessive when compared with other towns where only $1,(100 per milium is paid for the same amount of light. As the j.;iw company refuses to reduce its price, complaints re;;ardimr defective lijrhtinjf, which had previously been per-mitted to pass unnoticed, are now nu-merous, the inhabitants enttrinir, hearti-ly into tho spirit of the situation. to the latest accounts the gas company had fallen on troublous times. The municipality had made np its mind that if it could not Ket the gas at a reu- - 8on,'tblo rate it, would secure it at a low (Hie, and porsibly make a profit on 1 ho j bargain. j The method adopted is decidedly rigor-- l Otis. For every gas jet below tho cou-- ! tract candle power a fine of forty cents is imposed; for each square of glass not properly cleaned, a line of ten cents: a broken glass, ten cents, and for a lamp extinguished a caution first and a lino afterward. The campaign is affording immense gratification to the inhabitants of that quiet little town, which has sel-dom fallen on such a bonanza in the way of a sensation, and tho gas company seems destined either to make a sjieody change of front or give up its contract.
