A SAD BEREAVEMENT
On last Saturday while Mr. Martin Sturte of this county, near
Cincinnati, was in the timber loading his wagon with wood, and
just as he had thrown a small stick of wood on the wagon, he
staggered back and fell dead upon the ground. It is supposed that
he bursted a blood vessel. He leaves a wife and several children
to mourn his loss.

SKILLFUL SURGERY--A little daughter of our
County Clerk, Capt. K.P. Morrison, had been suffering for about
three years with a severe affliction of Stone in the Bladder. -
So severe was the case that it became evident that she could not
live, unless relieved.- Her father consulted several physicians
and they advised him to take her to Prof. J.C. Hughes of the
Medical College, at Keokuk. He did so; and Prof. Hughes succeeded
in removing the obstruction from the bladder. The Stone was as
large as hen's egg. Capt. Morrison informs us that the little
girl is doing well, and is now able to play with other children.
Prof. Hughes is counted as one of the best surgeons in the west.
He is prepared to receive patients and give them treatment and
board.
