SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL OPERATIoN.-
Our eminent Surgeon, DR.. Warren. on
Saturday, the 18th inst. removed yerv
large tumor from the neck and cheek of
gentleman from Halifax. The opera.
ton was deemed so hazardous that the
most skllfui surgeons of that place dared
not TO attempt 1t, and recommended the
gentleman to come TO this city, and place
himself in the hands of DIR. Warren
So deeply was the tumor imbedded. that
was necessary to remove portions of
the right ear, cheek and neck, laying per-
iectly bare the windpipe and carotid arte-
ry, yetso skillfulIy was the operation per-
formed, and the wound dressed, that the
gentleman was able to walk out on Satur.
day last, call upon his friends, and engage
freely in conversation-Bo Boston Press e.

FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD FOR A
PREAcHER.-We cut the following ad-
vertlsement from The Tennessee Sentinel,'
"a Democratic paper, published at Jones'
borough, East Tennessee. The pa oer
bears date May Is, 1889. Mr.. Matthew
Akin seems decidedly averse to losing his
'mulalto man. Perhaps he himself is
religiously inclined, and desires the spir-
ltual offices of the fugitive. Perhaps he
fears that the preacher cant take care of
himself, and ne is anxious to get him
back that he may provide for the poor
mans necessities. Perhaps he is Colo
nlzatlonist, and wishes to send Jack Hen
ry on mission to Liberia, where Afri-
cans become Americans, and American
nuIsances become African Missionaries
Perhaps-but we are weary of coniect-
ures. The fact is enough that professor
OF religion, the Lords freeman, has left
| Mr.. Matthew Akin in the pursuit of
happiness aud Mr.. Matthew Akin will
4 give any body fifty dollars who will bring
him back. We hope he may be able to
keep that half hundred to himself; but

Canada.-Ch. Witness.

s1LK.--Mr. Pollok, the proprietor of
the Glovan Silk Mills, near Glasgow, un-
able to procure the raw silk required at
his establishment. has determined to be-
come producer, and has fixed on the Vi
clnity OF Danville, Virginia, as the loca-
ton of his mulberry and coeoonery or
chards and buildings. The su perintend-
ent and several hands have for some time
been on the ground busily engaged in
planting trees and erecting buildings
Mr.. Pollok, who has lately arrived, has
brought with him some of the choices,
varieties Of the mulberry, and also of the
grape, an extensive experiment in the cul- |
tnre OF which, in connection with the
mulberry. he is intending to make. Mr..
= is intending to produce annually ON
his farm $4,000 worth of the raw ma
terial for his foreign factory. We wish
him success; as such examples cannot |
fail to turn the attention of mulberry
growers to the growing Of silk, a result |
much to be desired in this country.-{
