Fifty Needles Extracted from the breast of a Woman.

--One of the most surprising operations that has yet come to the ears of the scientific world, was accomplished in this city a few days since. It was no less a startling feat in the line of surgery than the extracting of fifty needles, in a good state of preservation, from the breast of a woman, and that, too, without the aid of chloroform. And what is, perhaps, still more wonderful, the operation was actually performed by the woman herself, unassisted by a physician, and who is now gaining strength, and liable to recover without suffering any very serious effect from it.--Milwaukee News.
