Nightingale's Leg Set.

New York City.—Dr. H. R. Gatley. surgeon In the steamship Minnehaha, which arrived here from London, performed a surgical operation of rare delicacy on the voyage that won for him the friendship of every passenger. The doctor sot the broken leg of an English nightingale, one of four brought here by Mrs. C. .E Maud of Monterey, Cal. She was taking the songsters to California for breeding purposes. Dr. Gatley used a quill to splice the broken bone, then wrapped it in sticking plaster. It healed rapidly. Mrs. Maud was delighted with the surgeon’s skill. The passengers, headed by Edward Locke, playwright, • author of “The Climax,” presented the doctor with a testimonial, which he says he will frame and hang in his stateroom.
