Semple—George Ogden SCIWICAL OPERATION. -A very neat Surgical ape ratkto was performed, the other day. by our friend,Dr. 'D. McMcAr... A brother Printer of the city, bad for souse thus besn troubled with two wens on his neck. whieb were daily increasing in size, and promised to bo very troublesome. He applied to Dr. McMeal, who; be assures us, out them out with the least possi ble psi n, and in a highly creditable manner. It is al ways pleasant to record any instances of scientific at tainments on the part of the young men of our country, and we look upon this, and other cases, in the practice of Dr. Mc. that have come to our knowledge, as giving bright promiee of the future. Tut. publish this morning an other eacellent article on the Presidential question,from our eonespandent "Cks 51113." lie the election is now Over, politicians will turn their a: tention to a more im pOrtant question than the local matters that have kept tbsm engaged fur some mlntlis past, and we trust they will be activt, in urging the claims of Pennsylvania to the preference for the Presidential candidate. THIGATIIC.—The Philadelphia Times say that Mr. Rnaszt.t., of the Arch street Theatre, has leased and will open the Theatre in this city, about the 20th inst. Mr. Russell has the reputation of being a skilful) and enterprising manager, and we hare no doubt but he will, if he has taken the Theatre, produce such enter atintripms as will make it worthy of patronage. FROM RIO GRANDE Bite brig Delaware, Captain Mercier, arrived at Philadelphia on Thursday, from Rio Grande, which she left on the 12th August, witha full cargo of hides, bones, &c. Hides stand on board 10} a lie per pound, principally barter. Salt was worth 40e per bushel, on which the duty is 20 per cent on valuation Political matters remain pretty much in the same state as at last advice.% the insurgents against the Brazilian Government were still in the same force in the interi orruut, from their wants of arms and means, were , unable to stand before the Government troops whenever they came iu contact. In the reemare 250 of the lat ter put to flight near one thousand of the rebels; still they gave much annoyance to the loyalists. and inter rupt the trade of the Province.—N. Y. Eve. Post. LOSS OF TIIE BRIG EFFORT BY FIRE The brig Effort., Capt. Konoman, which sailed hence yesterday morning bound to Port Leon, Florida. anch ored last evening at the Narrows, VI. here she remained during the night on account of head winds. About 5 o'clock this morning she was discovered to be on fire in the after hold, under the cabin, which was on deck.— Every effort was immediately made to extinguish the *lames, but without success. The condition of the ves sel was discovered by the steamer Wave, which was ortrusately lying at the Quarantine Ground and home , lately proceeded to her assistance. Fi:-.ding it im -1 oaaible to save her, the steamer took her in tow, and uther ashore on the Long Island side, a short distance 1 slow Owl's Head. There she was boarded by some toor 30 persons from the shore. A short time after this, and while those persons were at work with the ew an explosion took place, which entirely destroy s lher stern and after part of her deck. Some ten or twenty persons were mote or less in .l wed, but none of them dangerously. The captain I ad his wife on hoard, who, with Mr. T. B. Nothans, ete only passenger. had fortunately gone on shore as soon as the brig struck. So rapid was the progress f the flames that it was impossible to save a single ar 'l.ele from the cabin, and those belonging aft lost every thing except the. clothes in which they stood. Mr. Nathatts, the passenger, had alma. $3OOO in goods .•11 beard, and .?•400 in gold in his trunk, which togeth .. r with his clothes were entirely destroyed. On these o aides, which constituted his whole property, he had 1;1000 insured. The brig's cargo, which consisted of Iry goads and groceries, was quite valuable, together .with the vessel, will le:.• a total loss. The vessel was artiv owned by Captain Knopm:tn, and was insured 't 'or $12003. No explanation can be given as to the or igin of the tire, and it was supposed the explosion was caused by some barrels of liquor, which were stnwed under the cabin.—N. Y. Jour. Ith inst. NOT LESS STR:hiVIE TAN TRUE In the woods ofEthennia, in Africa, is to be iliumd a species of the human ftmiiy who live entirely ain•iaiz the branches of the trees: They have the pow .r of jumping from tree to tree, just as monkeys and squir m!. di), and are seldom known to aeAcend to the ground. They generally congregate in groups of three and four hundred. and make their liol , zire.; places in the strong forks of the trei,s with layers iitirimz.ti on which they lay moss and leaves ns a beddinT. In Autuinn, they carefully lay in a sittfacient rtore tif pro viSions, comnased of nuts of various torts, and also fruit and berries, dried in the sun. Their agility is such, that all effort. to secure ono of them is fruitless, unless when encumbered with their offspring. An at tempt to da so has. in one or two insta noes, succeeded, after MICCO34iVe toil, but nevertheless., has proved use less to the m tits object— , that of transpotting them to other clim Is for exhibition. They refuse food and die. probably of grief and starvation. Their language seems to re...emble the etattcrinT, of monkeys, bnt mori. clear and distinct in it. enunciation. They are very generally coated with hair, and of a dark yellow calor. Tribune. DlED—Yesterday nftemoon, of Rheumatism, Mrs NANCY THORSRUTLGH.
