all articles usually executed at foundres, and of
manufacturing the Livingston county Plow. This

nut tttie more than one year ago since then,
many OF our most intelligent farmers who have
had an opportunity of testing it, have given the
strongest testimony of its value as cheap. eff

that all without a single exception, who have
purchased and tried this pillow during the past

and have been generally convinced that it will

these facts that all his TASKS g. most of his patterns

NEW WAY OF GETTING UP COURAGE.

At the hospital on Saturday, tumor was
cut from the neck Of young woman by Dr..
Warren. DIR. Buchanan, the neurologist, ar
rived at the hospital Ito witness the operation)
about ten minutes before it commenced. He
found the woman depressed, fearful, and sick
at stomach.-T'hinking that she might be of
the impressa62e class, he directed one Of the
gentlemen present to place his hand upon
some of the organs of her head which have
invlgoratng effects when excited. As she
seemed to be relieved by this operation, the
doctor then attempted himself to excite the or
gans OF hrmness, hareihood, self-esteem, and
playfulness, in which he succeeded so we'll
that she burst into fit of laughter at the doc
tors, declared that she knew as much as any
OF them, that they couldn't hurt her, and she
did not fear the operation at all. Her laugh
ter did not cease until the doctor placed his
hands upon the back part Of her head TO re-
strain 1t. Then continuing to excite her hard
mood and self-esteem, he made her impatient
to have the operation performed. She rose
from her chair and insisted on rushing directly
TO the amphltheatre 10 have it finished. As
soon as she was permitted to go, she went for
ward, pouted at the professor, and acted SO
singularly as 10 induce some who did not
know what had happened, TO suppose her I'M
der the influence of opium. The operation,
which required an incision in the neck of about
three inches in length, was skilfully perform
ed by DIR. Warren, and borne by the patient
with much steadiness. Being then taken to
her bed, she seemed TO have forgotten the
whole scene, and could not recoIect where or
how the operation had been performed upon
her.--Boston Post.
