Dunn, wife of the Principal of the Academy at
Hampstead, L l., without pain, she having been
put in a mesmeric sleep. After the operation was
finished, 'Mr. Dunn, by few reverse passes, re-
stored her to consciousness. In reply to an obser

had, and that she felt better for it The tumor
having been mentioned, she was told that the
physicians had examined it, and had concluded to
do nothing more with it at present She express
ed considerable disappointment, and being asked
ifshe would consent next week TO be mesmerized,
and taken out, she answered in the negative,
and said that if it became necessary to have it
moved, she would prefer to be ia state of con-
sciousness DR.. French asked her if she had ex-
perienced any pain or uncomfortable sensation
during her sleep. She said she had not; and the
Doctorthen asked her what she would think If he
should tell her it had been removed, she turned
her eyes towards her shoulder, and perceiving a
small spot of blood lower down on her dress with
countenance indicating much anxiety she asked
her husband if it was out The tumor was now

NIMROD HUGHES.

This remarkable parsonage, who it will be re-
membered, well nigh turned some portions of the
world topsy-tervey, by his prediction in relation
to the destruction Of the Globe in 1871 died near
Abingdon, Va, on the 9TH instant. We remem-
Der to have heard great deal said in relation to
the excitement which prevailed in 1911, and from
accounts it must have been equal if not greater
than the Miller delusion of the present day.
Speaking of the origin OF Hughes prediction
the Abingdon "Virginian" remarks:
"His prophecy had its origin thus "A gentle
man in his neighborhood, upon rising one morn.
ing, found his meat-house broken open and his
bacon stolen. From previous threats of revenge
for some imaginary grievance, suspicion fell up
on Nlm:od, who, in the absence Of bail, was
''shut up in durance vile" to await his trial.
From some defect IN the glorious uncertainties of
the common law, his period Of incarceration was
protracted, during which, although finally acquit-
ted, the plot was laid and accomplished which
has stamped his name with iminortality-the
Prophecy of the Judgment in 1911. Like the
letters of Junius, the name of the author was rev.
er discovered; and, although Nimrod realized but
little by his copy right, he shone with borrowed
light for season. whilst others gathered the har-

A writer in The Ne,oarh Daily relates that Mrs
Martha Johonnat, at her DEATH left to the Mas
sachusetts Lunaic Asylum bequest of $50 900
She had favorite old horse which had faithfully
served her in many an errand of charity for many
years, whose support during his natural life was
made charge upon the Asylum as her residuary
legatee. This horse is now upwards of thirty
live years old. Though past the ability Of doing
any service, his skin is as clean and smooth as
that Of colt, and shows that he is in all res
poets well cared for; he is the fond charge oil
one of the old patients, who watches over him
with the watchful regard of nurse-helps him
to his feet every morning after nights rest. for
he has scarcely vigor enough left to get up with

The PIANoFoRrE TAUGHT IN One MINUTE
When the discovery OF teaching music by colors
was first made known by its author, ID. ID. Jane.
son, through the medium Of a book entitled Co
Tour Music, it seemed most incredible, by reason
OF the short space of time therein stated as ne.
cessary to acquire the faculty of playing from
sight, and as such II was treated as mere theo-
ry, or at the best, an amusing notion OF the mo-
ment. 1t is now nearly year ago since this
work appeared; and at the present moment this
startling fact is every day receiving confederation
at the Adelaide Gallery. This may smack of
the marvellous, but when the simple nature OF
the means used are understood the matter be-
comes one oil admiration, but no longer one OF
doubt. Several hundred people have already
tested the principle, and amongst these many
children who never before touched the KEYS of a
pianoforte; and it is to degree startling to hear
the correctness and harmony ELECTED by first
attempt. 1t should be understood that the KEYS
of the pianoforte are coored, to various lengths,
to correspond with similar colors i'm the book ;
color being note, height being octave, and length
being time.-Giobc.

A lew days since, man making his way East

but succeeded in making his escape. In the hur-
ry OF his exit, he was seen to deposite a large
bunch of skeleton keys, and some counterfeit
coin, in the horse trough of Mr.. Wells stable
which were obtained, and from the number and
structure of the keys, his object has been to plum
der trunks, &c. He was seen to have consi-
derable quantity of money upon the State Bank
of Indiana all of which is no doubt counterfeit.
He is travelling on foot, and seemed anxious 20

FARMERS CREED.

We believe in small farms and thorough cult
vation.
We believe that the soil loves to eat, as we'll
as It's owner, and ought therefore to be well ma
nured.
We believe in going to the bottom of things,
and therefore in deep ploughing and enough of
1t. All the better if it be subsoil plow.
We believe in large crops which leave the
land better than when they found thanking
both the farmer and farm rich at once.
We believe that every farm should own good
farmer.
We believe that the best fertilizer of any soil,
is spirit OF industry, enterprise and intelligence
without this. lime, gypsum and green manure,
mari and guano will be of little use.
We believe in good fences, good barns, good
iarm-houses, good stock, good orchards, and
children enough to gather the fruit.
we believe in clean kitchen, a neat wife in
it'a spinning piano, clean cupboard, clean
dairy, and clean conscience.
We firmly disbelieve in farmers tina. will no,
'mprove-n farms that grow poorer every year
starving cattle-farmer's boys turning into clerks
and merchants-farmer's daughters unwilling to
work, and in all farmers who are ashamed of
their vocation.
