Heroic Treatment for Pleurisy—Five Hits C*!t On»— A Wonderful Operation. From the Fan Francisco Examiner. Edgar Jackson is the phenomenon of the city and county hospital. Seven months ago he entered the insti tution a fair specimen of the living skele ton so often depicted in front ot a dime museum. To-day he is robust and hearty, with every prospect of becoming a rival in corpulency of Police Captain Kcntzel. Y et he has five ribs less to-day than when lie entered the hospital, while his friends and visitors may lie allowed the privilege of taking a peep at his heart and view that organ ol his anatomy in active operation. Bat few people can sit down to the din ner table three times per day and partake of a hearty meal with a gash in their left side of about five inches in length and two inches in width. Yet Jackson relishes-his food, enjoys good health, is getting stout and hearty and appears to be one of the healthiest men in the community—until he removes his clothes and display’s the in cision in his body. An Examiner reporter learned yesterday of the operation that had been performed on him some time ago, and visited the pa tient with a view to ascertain Uic particu lars of his complaint and the cure.

Mr. Clay drew back and the dog missed its aim. and as it lumped upon him was given a blow on the head by Mr. Clay. The dog then kept on its course down town. The next lieanl of it was at the engine house of No. 1, on Third street.
