Wells, after apply : , ing to , many of themost eminent physicians Of the country, for relief from one of the most malignant cancerous tumors of the face and 'neck, has at last found relief. Dr., N, Y. . Lett, of Friendsiille, late graduate-of the Ura . versity 'of Pennsylvania, on Monday, 17th J. test., made a . successful sweets, operation; • he excised the cancer fromthetace and neck. . , The operation on the neclr, - had by the most eXpetienced surgeons, been pronounced im practicable, being so intimately connected with the blood vessels and nerves of *neck. Mrs. Wells, although ilk years old, could not think of being killed by the slow, yet sure workings of t* - loathesome tumor, and on -Consulting Witt our young and Skillful sur geon, he informed her that he had confidence enough in his own skill to undertake the up eration. Mrs. Wells with more than ordinary courage and firmness seated herself in a chair. The surgeon was about 20 minutes perform ing the operadon. First *he - removed the cancer in the face, he then continued the in cisio from the face to the , neck, laying bare thei t... ood vessels 'and nerves of the neck, and with firm and 'skillful hand, separated the cancer from those vessels . and nerves. Dnr ine•o. the pe.rformance Mrs. Wells never shrunk from the knife whilst the profusion of blood drove a crowd of spectators from the room. The surgeon took up and tied six wounded arteries and stopped the blood. The two cancers weighed six ounces. • We are grati fied that notwithstanding the painful opera tion, Mrs. Wells is doing well. . Dr. N. Y. Legit has successfully performed several other difficult surgical onevations since his return from the University, and has al ready gained for himself and profession it high reputation. • ' - - 11, .--.0.- liN-------."-- Mn.

It should have been a part of tholaworeating the election of Judges, but no evils had then been. felt from this source, and it was supposed that any person aspiring to the Bench would have snffiCient retard for the proprieties, of the position— would have sufficient regard,; for That just public opinion which had always been sum-, cient to hold the Judiciary in check, with out being bound to regard it Legislative penalties. It is now teen, however, that this is not the case.
