domestic. Keene, (N. 1 17) Oct. ic. 1 At the Superior Court holden in this town, the present week, came on tor trial, tiie case of Pedda Day, vs. John L. Dexter, for mal-prac ticc as a surgeon. The evidence on trial wai, Uut in the fall of 1815, the defendant was called on to ex amine^ slight syre on the ancle of the plaintiff. The defendant pro nounced a cancer, and said he could cure it, and began to apply his caus tics. By this application he eat and destroyed the flesh and muscles to Che^and, in cutting what he and cords, and entirely destroyed the use of the ancle and foot. It appeared from the testimony of Dr. T wichnell, and other surgeons, that the soie, when Dexter began his Ap plication, was nothing like a cancer; and a surgeon of any knowledge would have known it was not. That the course of treatment By D. was grossly improper, and an adver tisement of Dr. D. published in June, 1815, was rend in evidence, where the Docror informed the pub lic, that he could cure all disorders subject to the human frame; and' he had learnr of the Indians , &c. The chief justice gave an excet? lent charge to the jury; and direct ed them, that if they Considered the plaintiff's case proved, it was. their . duty to give liberal damages. That they should not only give sufficient; to compensate the plaintiff for the injury done, but also as a punish ment to defendant.* That the pub lic were interested that such gross quackery and imposition should be put down. -The jury gave a ver dict for plaintiff for "400 dollars damages. GENERAL LFF.. _ * ,Gen Lee was remarkly slovenly in his dress and manners ; and has often by the meanness of his appear ance, been subject to ridicule and insult. He was once attending Gen. Washington to a place distant from the camp. Riding on hp arrived at the house where they were to dine, some time before the rest of the ? company. He went directly to the kitchen, and demanded something to cat, when the cook taking him for a servant, told him she would give him some victuals in a mo-j ment ? but he must help her i ff with the pot. This he complied with, and sat down to some cold meat which she placed for him on the dresser. She was remarkably inquisitive about the guests, who were -coming, particularly of Lee, -rt who she said she had heard was one of the " most oddest and ugliest men in the world." In a few moments she desired tl?e General again to as sist her in placing on the pot, and scarce had he finished, when she re quested him to take a bucket and go to the well. Lee made no ob jection and began drawing the wa ter. In the mean time Gen. Wash ? ington arrived, and an Aid de Camp was dispatched in search of Lee ; whom, to his great surprize, found him engaged as above. But what was the confusion of the poor girl on hearing the Aid de Camp address the man with whom she had been so familiar, with the title of excel lency. The mug fell from her hand and dropping on her knees, she be gan crying for pardon . when Lee, who was very ready to see the im propriety of his own conduct, but never willing to change it, gave her a crown ; and turning to the Aid de Camp, observed, " You sec young man the advantage of a fine coar ? the man of consequence is indebted to it for rcspect ; neither virtue nor abilities without it^wjil make him look Iikc a gentleman." ^Ale\afttJer Vonttsr, \S on fiand an elegant assortment of Gold and biiver patent lever and plain W A 1 C HLS; English eight day CLOCKS and \\ iiliard's Pattnt Time Pieces : AN t XT*.
