Wonderful Surgery.
The new Bedford correspondent of the " Cincinnati Enquirer " says :— " The success of a wonderful surgical operation, performed in this city nearly a year ago, has just been demonstrated. Soventeen years ago Edward Iv. Russell met with .an accident in which the tendons in one of his legs were severed, rendering the limb useless. The operation consisted of the transferring of two tendons from a dog, which had been etherized for the purpose, to Russel's limb, where they were united with the severed tendons in that member. For ten months after the operation Russell was not allowed to use his leg, but within a few days he had not been permitted to exercise it. He luis now resumed hia work, and has complete control of the limb the operation having proved to be an ontire success. This is the first time that this operation has been performed in this country, though it has been previo\\sjy attempted with only partial suQQes.B,"
