A Living Man's Heart Open to Inspec-,
tion.
Some three years ago our physicians witnes- i c
sed the process of digestion through an orifice !
left by a gun-shot wound in the abdomen ol
Alexis St. Martin. But a greater curiosity j ,
was yesterday exhibited to the students ot the ]
University Medical College, at the hour ol . (
Prof Mott's clinlque : :
It was a case of deficiency of the sternum j
(breast bone,) which enables the several move- a
ments of the heart to be seen It has excited t
intense interest for several years past throuih- £
out the cities of Europe and Britain. Ihe <
subject of the defect is a very intelligent gen- j
tlemari, M. Grau.\,a uative of Hamburg, twenty ;
eight years of age, somewhat under the aver
age height, and rather pale, though heuppeare |
to be in health. I
He was introduced by Dr. Mott, who <
thought that the substance which occupied the
place of the sternum might he cartilage. M.
Groux then showed tl.e peculiar con onuity of
his chest, and gave an e.\i client lecture on the ,
heait's action, demonstrating iiis remarks with
colored plates, an artificial heart, and his own ,
body*. The collar-bones arc not connected, ;
(neither are the ribs to their opposites,) but ]
there is a groove where the steruurn should be;
the skin is natural. In its natural state tlii.- .
groove is about and inch ana half wide, but it
can be distended to three inches.
On looking at the groove a pulsatile swelling
is discernible opposite the third and fourth ribs; j
if respiration be suspended it rapidly rises to an
enormous extent, and remains full and tense
until the breathing is restored, when is soon
subsides. This is the heart. Between the i
clavicles there is another pulsatile swelling, ;
easily felt, which is the aorta, the artery from
the heart. The dilatation and contraction of
the lung is also seeu. In coughing, tbe right
lung suddenly protudesfrom timeliest through
the groove, and ascends a considerable distance
above the right clavicle into the neck.
Mr. Groux remembers being taken by his
family doctor to a medical society in Hamburg, ,
when about two years old, but he did not know
for what ; nor did the full importance of his j
case occur to him till he was over twenty years
of age. Iu 1840, while on a visit to Loudon, j
he was attacked with cholera, and then it was j
that his defect was made known to the profes- j
sion. He was shown to several distinguished
medical men as a great curiosity, and wa.-advis
ed to travel through Europe for the benefit of
the profession. Mot long after, while attend- j
ing to his business, which was very confining, j
he was attacked with haemoptisis (spitting ot
blood.)
lie then concluded to abandon his occupa
tion, and follow the suggestion often made to
liirn, viz : to travel and show himself to the
medical men of the countries of Europe, Britain, j
and now of America. He has an album of
two volumes, which are nearly filled with the
nntographs of the chief members of all the im
portant medical societies and universities of ;
Europe, from St. Petersburg to Madrid, and
from Vienna to Gaiway, testifying their great
interest in this case. The signatures of pro-1
fessors and celebrities who have examined him I
number over two thousand.

Three New Territories,
Besides the territories which Congress lias
orgauized, we have now three others, which,
grown impatient of waiting, are taking steps |
to organize themselves.
Arizona, which lias population counted as
yet only by hundreds, has elected a territorial
delegate and sent, him to Washington. A Li! 1
was proposed last winter creating a government
for this territory, but it failed to pass. It will
doubtless be revived this winter, and will pro- j
bably be adopted in some shape.
Daeotah is also taking a definite form. Her peo
ple have completed an independent temporary
organization of the territory, to continue until
Congress shall give them the usual from of ter-1
ritoriul government. State officers were ap
pointed, a legislature convened, laws passed, 1
Ac., aud the Minnesota code of 1857 adopted, t
They assign as their reason for this action, ,
that they were left entirely without laws, ex
cept those of the Lynch order, and that the ;
disorganized state of society keeps away emi
gration. They point, in justification, to the j
precedent set them by California and Oregon.
Revolutionary as such a procedure would be i
considered in any other country but the United
States, it is here an evidence of the law-loving
character of the people, and a guaranty that |
they are disposed to maintain order and respect
the obligations of citizenship.
Superior, or Ontonagon, is also moving. The
people there have made formal application to
the legislatures of Michigan and Wisconsin, to
which states that region belongs, for permis
sion so form an independent territory, with n
view to admission ultimately as a state. This
must eventually be a great mining and agricul
tural region, audits peninsular position between
Lakes Michigan and Superior seems to adapt
it for commerce, as well as to require a separate :
political organization. It has already a popula
tion of several thousand.
Htcn-H.vxnEn PROCEEDING;.—A few days
ago the steam tug Fulton, while lying at Jersey '
City, A. J. was seized by the Sheriff on account |
of nonpayment of a mortgage and a deputy
put in charge, who, however was locked op in
the cabin by some interested persons and the
boat carried across to New York. OiiThurs- j
day, the same deputy-sheriff, armed with legal
authority, and backed by a posse, boarded and
seized the Fulton at her wharf, when the j
captain and some of the crew, as the Sun states,
attacked the officers, some of whom were seri
ously wounded. The captain was then taken
to the lock-up, and the New .Jersey officers, i
after receiving reinforceinen t; from the Harlem
police station, succeeded in taking the Fulton
to Jersey City, in tow of another steamer.
TJTE WESTERN- H<>G TRADE.— At Louisville, '
Ky. ( last Friday, 1,300 hogs were sold at sf>-
25, net, and 10,000 green hams at 7 1 2 cents,
lint subsequently, the same price was refused j
for 20,000 pieces. The Cincinnati, (O.) Times!
of Saturday says : The trade yesterday was I
rather dull, owing, it i A s presumed, to the high j
prices demanded. The receipts amouufed to , '
alyoot 2,100 head. The sales were at $3,75, j
6, 0 25 and 6 30, according to weight." The
sales made at *6 30 were for future delivery. '
'1 he market this morning is rather quiet, '
though the receipts are somewhat, on the in- 1 '
crease. Heavy hogs are bringing $G 25.
SIR \\ illiain Reid, well known as the author ]
ot valuable works on the Laws of Hurricanes I
and the Theory of tstoruis, died in Loudon ou 1 (
the ilt October, at the age of C7
The Terrible Hurricane in Mississippi.
The Paulding Clarion, giving ail account of
the recent hurricane, before alluded to, which
crossed that county, killing nine persons, most
ly in one family, says :
The dwelling in which most of the family
were sleeping was newly built, of heavy green
logs. These were carried, some to the distance
of several miles, and others hurled together or
against trees, and broken like pipe stems. The
heavy hewn sills of the house were taken up
and carried off like feathers. Tiie bodies ot
the dead were picked np at various distances
and in diff rent directions from the house, ev
ery ve-iige of clothing having been stripped
from thtm by the wind, and covered with dirt
and mud,occasioned by the heavy rain. Mrs.
Moody, Sr. who was severely hurt, and whose
recovery is doubtful, says that she and her
husband heard the roar of the storin ; he
sprang out of bed and commenced [tutting ou
liis pantaloons. She raised herself and was in
the act of stepping on the lioor, when a terri
ble crash came, and she remembers nothing
else until restored to consciousness several hours
afterwards. The young man, Moody, wlio es
caped with nothing worse than some severe
bruises, was scarcely conscious of what was
happening, until he found himself about fifty
yards down the hill from the house clinging to
a stump.
A uumber of incidents showing the extreme
force cf the wind, as well as its singular freaks
were noticed by those who visited the spot. A
field from which the crop had been gathered,
and which had grown up in crab-grass, was
swept nearly clear of the grass, quantities of
which was drifted against the stumps and logs
as though it had been washed there by a swol
len stream. A cow which must have been 100
yards from the house when the storm commen
ced, was found bead foremost iu the well.—
Another circumstance worth mentioning was
the preservation of a parcel of stock. In a
field, heavily timbered, the timber belted and
dead, there were five or six yoke of oxen and
several horses. After the storm was over, to
look at it, one would have thought it hardly
possible that a eat to have been there could
have escaped being killed. Yet singularly
i enough, of the animals referred to only one
I horse was killml, and all the others escaped
without the slightest injury.
The course of the storm, as we have said,
was from the south-west to the north-east, and
the whirling current but a few hundred yards
in diameter, thcugh the atmosphere was dis
turbed for many miles around. At this place,
! nine miles from the centre, there was consider
i able wind and a heavy fall of rain, attended
iby tierce thunder and lightning. No loss of
life was sustained at any other place except
the one mentioned, the storm having found no
! other residence in its course. Several planta
! tions and crops, however, were seriously dama-
I ged, a good many cattle killed by falling trees,
j while complete destruction w as made of thetim
j ber in its track.
A Father and Two Daughters Arrested
for Robbing the Mail.
During the past two or three months, says
i the Cincinnati Gazelle, of the 18th, several
; letters and packages containing money have
, been missed from the mail on the route between
Washington, the county seat of Fayette coun
ty, aud Columbus. Complaint was made to
the Cost (Jfiiee Department, and Win. S. Y.
Prentiss, Special Mail Agent was commission
ed to investigate the matter. Going to Wash
ington he despatched a decoy package, con
j taining between forty and fifty dollars in bills,
and a half a dollar in silver,and then followed
it up along the route. After the mail passed
the post-office at Duff's Forks, Fayette county,
the package was found to be missing.
Mr. Prentiss immediately returned to Duff's
Forks, and calling upon the postmaster, W.A.
Phelps, demanded the package. He indig
nantly denied all knowledge of it, but the
agent insisted that the money had been taken
at that office. Finally, a daughter of the
Postmaster, aged about 15 years, acknowledged
that the package had been taken by her sister
Sarah, and restored a portion of the money
' not already spent. The latter was then called
I in and accused of the robbery, but she repelled
the insinuation with an air of confidence quite
| beyend her years. The younger sister, Jennie,
| final!} said, " You know, Sarah, you are just
!as guilty as I am." This induced a full cou-
I fession of all the robberies committed by these
I yonng girls, but the father denied any connec
tion with them. The total amount taken is
supposed to be about S3OO, and the money ha<
, been spent by the girls iu buying furniture for
I the house, and articles of dress.
51 r. Phelps, the father, is a man nearly sixty
years of age, and owns a farm of 140 acres
where he resides. He has always stood very
i well in the community previous to the charge.
We perceive by the Blue Book that his office
j last year yielded him a revenue of $8 ! The
daughters are quite pretty and intelligent, aud
in their mourning habiliments (their mother
: having died about a year ago) they appear
: very interesting.

THE A norcTED JEWISH CHII.D. —The Europe
' an papers are filled with discussions grawing
i out of the recent abduction of a Jewish child
by the Inquisition at Rome. The aff air, it is
j thought, will present iome serious difficulties,
I which the Pope probably never dreamed of
when he consented, or was driven by the pres
i sure of priestly opinion to consent, to the forei
' hie'separation of Mortara.the Jewish boy, from
his parents It will be remembered that about
! two months ago a Jewish family residing in
Rome, having missed the youngest of the child
ren, traced it to the custody ot the Inquisition.
The officers of that institution did not deny pos
session of the child, but declared their right
to retain it, on the ground that the nurse had
caused it to be baptized by a Catholic priest
A claim was set up thet the sacrament so ad
ministered, (clandestinely, as far as the views
or wishes of the parents were coucerued,)
having constituted the child a Christian, it
could not be surrendered into infidel keeping.
The boldness of such a question wanted noth
ing to make it an important European question
but the approval of the Pope ; and this, we
learn by the America, has been unequivocally
expressed. It is stated that in answer to the
remonstrances of the French ambassador, the
Due de Gram motif, against this high handed
measure, his Holiness replied that he "could
not, in conscience, replace in the path of pre
ditinn a soul trhich ha>!, as though by a miracle,
been iron for Paradise ." It is thought that
not only the French, bnt the British, Sardinian
and Prussian, and other liberal or Protestant
European Governments,will also protest against
this claim, which, if legalized, places the chil
dren, of al! parents not Catholic entirely at the
taercy of the Inquisition.

EVENING POST FOR 1859. —The proprietors
of this sterling and excellent journal have issu- J
ed their prospectus for 1859, and we so far
depart from our usual custom,as to bear witness i
to its merits, and to urge upon our Republican j
friends to give it the patronage it so richly de
served. Since 1848 the Evening Erst has beeu j
a welcome visitor to our table, always read j
with pleasure and profit, and with a feeling of j
respect and confidence in its teachings. During
that loner and memorable struirgle when we
w wO j
added our humble efforts to the labors of the ;
best men in the Democratic party, to prevent I
that organization from becoming prostituted
by the Slave Power, the Evening Post has been j
as true to the principles of Freedom as the ;
needle to the pole, unseduced by patronage,
unawed by power. It is not alone to the poli
tician that the Post is a valuable paper. The
editorial supervision of W. C. BRYANT, ensures
for it a high literary character. Its selections
cover the wide field of art aud science, biogra
phy and travels, aud its broad pages are loaded
with articles of rare merit.
It is perhaps almost superfluous for us to
| praise the Post in this locality where it circu
lates so generally, and we only desined to cull
attention to its terms, which are as follows:
Daily, one year in advance SO.OO

THE ALLEGHENY COUNTY BOND CASE. —The
j Supreme Court of this State has decided in ef
fect that the bonds of Allegheny county, is
sued for subscriptions to the stock of railroad
companies, under sundry acts of the Assembly,
are valid and binding, and peremptorily eom
mahds the county Commissioners to levy a tax
at their annual meeting, to meet the interest
due, and falling due next year, upon the three
hundred thousand (first) subscription to the
Pittsburg and Steubcuville Railroad.
But while the Court requires the payment of
the interest, it freely expresses its opinion that,
iu a court of equity, if the fact was established
that the bonds were disposed of for less money
than thd law required, it would be a matter
for serious consideration whether the county
should be required to pay the creditors back
more money than they gave for the bonds.—
This is all the unlawful purchaser could require
in a good conscience. Having required the
payment of the interest, the payment of the
principal did r.ot follow as a matter of course.
While the Court holds the county liable for
the interest, on the presumptiou that the bonds
were legally issued, a presumption sustained,
in tiie absence of proof to the contrary, by
acqnicsenceof the people themselves, who could
have restrained, by injunction, a sale of bonds
contrary to law, Judge Lowrie makes thca<
qnieserice of the people iu similar acts of their
representatives, and their silence in this, suffi
cient to establish the validity of the law and
to be a bar to repudiation of the debt.
Bfejy* We invite the attention of our citizens
generally, to the call published in another co
lumn, for a meeting in relation to the Colle
giate Institute. Whilst we have enjoyed the
benefits of the excellent school which has been
kept in the Institute since its opening, the
managers have been embarrassed by a heavy
debt, which has, in a measure, crippled their
plans for rendering the school still more worthy
of support. Wc trust that all interested in the
success of the institute—and what citizen is
not?—will attend this meeting, and use every
endeavor to further the object for which it is
called.
CCXGRESS meets ou Monday, December 6.
The President's Message is already nearly pre
pared. The coming session will be of unusual
importance, both as regards foreign and do
mestic matters. The proximity of the Presi
dential election, and the present prominence of
Senator DOUGLAS will niukc- the movements of
the politicians interesting to watch. We shall
endeavor to keep our readers posted, uot only
as to the actual business of Congress, but the
doings of the managers.
JOEL R. WARNF.R has been nominated by
the Lecompton Democrats for Congress, to
supply the J. Glaucy Jones vacancy. The
resolutions of a former convention were reaffirm
ed, and a resolution in favor of the admission
of Kansas nnder a new constitution was lost.
Gen. Wm. 11. KEIM is the volunteer candidate
of the Opposition. The election takes place
on the 20lh ins>t.
4*3?" Later intelligence from Utah has been
received. The report of ludiau difficulties at
Hurabolt had proved to be uutrue, the troops (
under [the command of Captain HOLMES, re- L
cently sent there, having returned and reported
everything quiet. Further disturbances, how
ever, had taken place among the Utes in the
southern part of the Territory—the bodies of
murdered men having been found, and consid
erable stock having been driven off. It bad
been decided by Governor CAMMING that the
Territorial Legislature must meet at Fillmore
City, and not at Salt Lake City, nolwithstand
ing the action of the Legislature in 1856 des
ignating the latter place. Governor CUIIMING
also questions the legality of the proceedings
of the last Legislature, as they are signed by
I! HIGH AM YOUNG only, and at a time when
Governor GUMMING himself was iu the Terri
tory.
4F*lt is now considered certain by Gen.
I WALKER'S friends, that he and his "emigrants"
I will not be interferred with by thenaval forces
| of either the United States or Great Britain.
' From certain information as to the tenor of
the instructions in reference to their clearance,
i sent to the Collector at Mobile, they are quite
sure that no difficulty will be experienced there.
' Should the anticipations of Walker and his
friends prove well founded, aud a proper clear
ance be granted, it is difficult to see how the
i British naval forces can intercept them 011 the
high seas, as has been threatened. Such a
proceeding would be a violation of the princi
| [tie which we have lately succeeded iu estab-
I lishing with reference to the right of search,
j Whether they will take the responsibility of a
violation of the provisions of the Clayton-Bul
j wer treaty,by arresting WALKER and his "emi
grants" on Nicaragua soil, remains to be seen.
4-SyThe friends of Senator DOUGLAS in the
West are celebrating his late triumph in Illi
nois with great spirit. A grand celebration
| took place iu Chicago on Wednesday evening,
i which was participated in by great numbers
'from different parts of the State, the whole
