HON. HARRY J. THORNTON, of ATLANTA - This gentleman,
whose appointment as a Commissioner of Land Claims in California
we recently noticed, after being confined to his bed, at
Willard's Hotel, in this city, for a couople of weeks, from an
inflamed hand, proceeding from an accidental injury, was on
Monday called upon to submit to the amputation of his left arm,
midway between the wrist and elbow. The operation was
performed in an admirable manner by Dr. Frederick May,
assisted by Drs. Miller and Stone. The
patient was under the influence of chloric ether, and awoke
without having experienced any pain. We are gratified to
learn that he is now considered in a fair way for speedy
restoration to health - Telegraph.
